Huh. I would have never guessed that useage of the term would be labeled homophobic π
I'll keep that in mind next time I give someone a blowjob :P
its kind of a thin argument on which to delete my comment and then leave a reply implying I'm a bigot, now that no one can see what I actually said and decide if they think thats true lol
The comment is in the modlog https://lemmy.ml/modlog?commentId=26319955 that's how I saw what you wrote.
Yes, I imagine you can see what it says and make a decision on it, and thats all fair and well, but deleting it and then also leaving a public comment calling me a bigot feels pretty transparently like a bad faith way to act
They could have just as easily dm'ed me the reason for the removal, but they chose to delete the message so no one can see it and then also casually assert it was homophobia so blatant it would obviously never be okay. Which is a pretty drastic response that just happens to be when I voiced frustration about ml. Its awfully convenient for my perspective to be dismissed as the voice of a bigot
I guess you can argue homophobia if you wanna, but the combination of deleting and then publicly accusing me of bigotry for using oral sex as a metaphor for appeasement kinda just reads as the moderator equivalent of editing your comment after someone replies to make them look like they said something indefensible π€·π»ββοΈ
Regardless, hope you have a nice day.
This sounds like the exact same argument my ex high school friends used to use when overusing the word "r*ped" when playing video games because it's apparently "just a metaphor for a power dynamic".
Have a nice day
Thanks, gonna do my best βΊοΈ
