Doomworld is basically the same site today as it was when I started visiting 25 years ago Aw, what a beautiful bullshit, steve, I rate it 5\100. a website dedicated to Doom that is firmly moderated to be as welcoming as possible. We (implying users of both forums) know better that's a damn lie and you telling about "as welcoming as possible" don't help it being real by any merit. All these people are free to congregate, talk amongs themselves--even about politics-- You know what, I'll stop nitpicking your post, it's all filled with utter lies. Go fuck yourself in regard, thanks. The moderation there engages in ostracising and attacking a person, in defamation - in trying paint them like an evil being they are actually not - which happened with Shadowman, Impie and others. True. I have evidences of this also, but you, steve, in your usual lefty manner, would just ignore these because it doesn't go with agitprop you worship. |

Doomworld is basically the same site today as it was when I started visiting 25 years ago; a website dedicated to Doom that is firmly moderated to be as welcoming as possible. The problem some of you have is you think Doomworld is akin to an open platform when it is more apt to think of Doomworld as a shopping mall. People are basically free to come and go as they please--some people wear leather jackets and sport mohawks while others are soccer moms taking their kids to the pretzel vender after practice. All these people are free to congregate, talk amongs themselves--even about politics--and generally be themeselves, but if you start causing a scene and making some of the patrons feel uncomfortable, mall security is going to ask you to leave. This is why Doomworld cracks down hard on negative comments about gender, race and sexuality... it makes those groups feel unwanted... the point of the mall analogy is that these groups get to feel free to visit and post about Doom and be creative without reading negative shit. If you want to yell exclusionary things about trans people, take it out of the mall. Doomer Boards is more like having drinks at 40oz house; people are going to say some truly mean shit and there are groups of people who arent' going to feel comfortable being here... but it's 40oz's house, and he decides what conversations people have in his home. I simply prefer a place where I can bring my friends without worrying people are going to make them feel unwanted. Your comparison of DW staff to mall cops is apt in more ways than you probably intended :3 |

Isn't the assumption of transphobia used all the time? I haven't seen it manifest in all these heated discussions. You might have an example here and there but people where banned for various other reasons. I am getting sick of listening all the time about fighting against bigotry for all those marginalized groups. At this point, all these groups have become privileged, like they are endangered species. Right now me saying this, it will seem like the proof of my bigotry, but I am telling I have nothing against any gender, race or sexuality. I just simply don't care. It's just that I can't shake off that feeling, that certain groups are.. you must be delicate around, like they have special privileges of shall not be touched! Every time someone says the words "transphobia", we are fighting "transphobia", I know that there is an emotional force with it, it's use like an emotional bludgeon and make people suddenly panic "NO! I am not the Bigot!!!" and close their brains and succumb. It's a SCARY word. It's an emotional bludgeon you throw there and can make a lot of people not dare to criticize anything. I have become numb to it. Very true. It's like reverse discrimination and it's happened to other things too, namely gender and skin colour. It's as bad as the other way round imo. They were the same guy all along?! |

Fuck, you scared me into thinking this is still trending here. I, quite honestly, don't want to visit or discuss other doom forums anymore, because doomer boards alone provide more than I can chew on some days.
I agree with you on "reverse discrimination" in regards to gender and skin colour being as bad as discrimination (in contemporary times) itself. Not equal to historical atrocities like slavery, of course, but we shouldn't consider this distinction as valid justification for "reverse discrimination" measures.
