I’ve deleted my original comment as a Rule 1 violation, being very rude; as there’s not really a mechanism for moderator-to-moderator removal, consider it a moderative action and an apology for the outburst.
It’s not mob mentality. You’re posting from an artist who expresses support for a neo-Nazi, and that understandably makes users here feel unsafe. I got told the other day to “fuck myself with a chainsaw” because I haven’t banned Jago here yet (not really up to me), and I don’t even blame them for saying that. You gleefully and intentionally make people in minority groups here feel unsafe.
Banning fascist material is what fascists do. Wow that’s a take. Thing about fascists is they want to be tolerated and accepted until they can be the ones pushing everyone else out. Can’t give them an inch.
No, I don’t want them to censor themselves re: this comment, and I’m sorry if I implied that. I actually hastily changed it from “everyone here hates you” to “everyone here wants you banned” because of Rule 1 (I’m not really used to that strict level of politesse in communities). I even said they didn’t do anything ban-worthy; if I thought their comment was violating a rule, I could’ve just removed it (it was, in fact; Rule 1 for calling vegans cultists, but I didn’t want that to be seen as a conflict of interest). I’m just kind of pissy since basically everyone in this community does hate them and they work just enough within the rules that my hands are tied. Literally dozens of reports for Jago, who, after some independent digging (I’d never heard of them until moderating here), likely is a far-right bigot.
Yes, everyone hates them, they know everyone hates them (to the extent the community overwhelmingly supports banning the likely far-right artist they routinely post), they continue the behavior because it’s just in-bounds enough, and it single-handedly makes moderating here miserable. This is just one page of my reports across all communities:
What I said to them was unrelated to the contents of their comment; I just haven’t interacted with them before and am really sick and tired of seeing them. That’s not professional as a moderator, so I’m sorry for the outburst.

I can see you are itching to ban me. Not because of the reasons you mentioned but because I dare to disagree with you.
Also implying that calling veganism a religion (not a “cult” - that is untrue as I never said that) is a breach of the rule 1 is laughable - what is supposedly “not nice” about it? Veganism is a system of beliefs which is not a subject to the rational scrutiny (as it implies animals have the same feelings as humans, something which cannot be empirically proven) , the same as religions are.
“veganism is like a religion” is pretty factual.
Hmm…

Mob mentality (also know as herd mentality - pun not intended) is usually linked to some ignorance supported by even greater ignorance.
You may want to do some digging. Start with this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial_of_Socrates
Copy-pasting stuff in order to annoy people, then belittle and argue with them when they are annoyed as if you are being attacked.
From this, an urge urge to compare yourself with one of the great thinkers.
Just… Chill. Handle some discourse, will ya?
No.
You are projecting.

It is precisely, 100% what it is. Witch hunt. Lynching.
No.
Also no. Some people just love to dictate to others what they can read and see. They are usually referred to as “authoritarians” or “fascists”.
Good. Banning artists is usually what fascists do - you know burning books etc.
Absolutely not. I post strips I enjoy, that’s all.

Have you seen any fascist material here?
Wow what an asshole thing to say.

“I’m sorry but everyone hates them” is just doubling down on bullying.

Like they did Socrates?
That’s a slander, pure and simple. Please remove.
