He shouldn't be bringing up racism considering that he's asking for special treatment.
I'm not really sure what you are saying here - he's described direct racism through verbal statements. Are you saying that disagreeing with Hivewatchers' decision is justification for racist attacks?
I think what you're getting at is there can be an option on frontends to state why an upvote or downvote is cast (an option outside of commenting I mean).
That isn't going to make any difference when there are openly sociopathic whales that even celebrate their state of mind in public. They aren't going to leave comments and even if they did it wouldn't change anything much when they want to autodownvote for their own agenda.
Bottom line is that there is a huge amount of hypocrisy, denial and unconscious activity happening in the 'community' here and it is being directly supported by some of the largest stakeholders who have had ample time to take action but who have mostly done nothing. If people want to create that for some reason, then that's their choice, but in highly competitive spaces, such as social media and crypto - it will only lead to nowhere.
He took a photo from an individual's blog and assumed that because that individual is of a different ethnicity to himself that it's racism. I can write an essay here about why this mentality is flawed but a basic google search can also answer this question.
I'm not sure if we are talking about the same thing.
I am referring to this:
Reveal spoiler
Are you saying that this person is actually also white, but has an asian style image and that it's therefore ok for them to ridicule based on race?
I called him those and clearly all those traits don't apply to his physique. Now if someone calls me Asian with a tan brown skin, I should be offended because it's my right to be offended for someone spitting facts about my Asian heritage and tan brown skin. He's going for the racial slur angle when he has got nothing else and used it to frame like HW did that on their own accord. He lost his case when he made ridwant a tool for his agenda here. He accused me of being part of HW when I just spoke my opinion about the guy. Not everything has to be taken in the context of race. And WTP is a grown man upset about negative emojis.
I'm not sure what motivation you have for highlighting someone's skin colour as you mock them online - it's not a common thing for people to do unless they are using it as a racial slur - hence his words in response.
I would not be speaking about 'race' unless you yourself had brought it up in the initial comments, so from my POV it is you that has made this about race in some way.
If you want to contest him not being all those traits, I wouldn't go down that conversation. The succeeding conversations in HW had nothing to do with that and he nitpicked one line to make a big deal of his narrative against HW. If I'm called an Asian Grown ass man who gets upset of negative emojis, I would contest the negative emojis part because that's the only thing that isn't a fact when I said there.
Again, whatever spins the narrative to make his case, keep enjoying the drama. The guy accused me of being part of HW when I'm just there on the server just like anyone else with a role that allows me to post gif images as a privilege and nothing else. He said he has been observing for days yet still couldn't figure out I'm just like anyone else there.
I'm not enjoying anything in particular here, I have much better things to be doing ;)
I am not contesting what he might be 'racially' defined as in standardised human reality. I personally have no interest or even a belief in 'race' at all, I see humans and before that I actually feel spirit moving in human forms. However, people do love to stir up drama and attack each other based on the imaginary construct of 'race', which you seemed to be doing - so I am just enquiring why, that's all.
You're indulging yourself in the conversation long enough that makes me say otherwise. How he took those facts about his physique and commentary about his attitude towards negative emoji is the sum of my observation. I would admit fault if he does not identify himself as a adult man, caucasian and isn't upset about those negative emojis.
See DM.
I'm talking to my friend on Discord as any rational person would. We are now talking about the Fediverse. I don't want to respond any further to you today like I said as I can see you're not in the state of mind to logically discuss any topic. Just trying to do what's right here.
Hi. Just looking around again and noticed you said this:
... after that member already told you directly they made the decision on their own and that you had in fact embarrassed them with your behavior here today.
I think that's worth pointing out, especially when I see you using the spin doctor angle as an insult, while spinning yourself.
Anyway. Please continue talking and just 'being yourself'. It helps others observing learn about you and your situation a little better.
Oh so you thought me simply acting on my own in a public forum; pointing out some discrepancies, lack of respect for the individual in question, and potential integrity issues you're placing on display was an invitation to focus on some superficial nonsense, then find a way to insult me?
You act like that, and publish it, for all to see; yet I'm the monster?
Please continue. This is fascinating.
You don't get to make that decision for me. I'd rather focus on the entire picture. Not just where you want me to look.
I've seen you throw a lot of folks under the bus so far — who are not involved — for no real reason other than you being upset.
FYI your insults directed at me slide off. I see how you treat others so taking it personally would be a waste of energy. That's just how you are. Okay fine, no problem.
Anything else?
