I know it's the internet, and fucking discord to boot, like seriously where is our burning Clive? But I'm not gonna go outside to yell at people about weird books, so unless any of you knows of an awesome book club near me or a forum online or something, we're stuck with this. And yes, it's the book servers again.

You would think queer spaces might be more accepting of leftist views, lenin-dont-laugh but I keep getting owned for not licking boots basically. First there was this based classic:

which stemmed from someone really liking the idea of french canadian cyberpunk, surely the apex of liberalism. Aside from that quote in the screenshot I wasn't really rude though, I didn't even swear at em. I got banned essentially for a cross of "omg ur so rude" and "we can do whatever we want" though, which is just as well cause fuck em I guess. You wanna take pride in that identity, seeya nerd.

But just recently I got in all kinds of hot water again for this epic banger:

The context here was just talking about tone tags, and someone else has whined and complained about not wanting to use a reference sheet for tone indicators because they don't know what they mean, lol.

See this isn't like I'm bursting through the wall and saying ANOTHER KKKCRACKA DOWN at grandpa's funeral, I'm not even swearing, it's so much less than that. I'm generally pretty content to let small disagreements slide or whatever, but it's always the most agreeable shit these people decide to attack me on. Like no, I am not gonna back down from saying "canada bad" and I'm not gonna back down from saying "at the point NTs won't even read tone indicators, I don't give a fuck", surely these are like the least offensive positions in the world. How could people take PERSONAL OFFENSE to this shit? And yet.

So I want to ask if there are any more mitigating strategies I can use to not get rekt by angry lib mods? This shit is stressful and exhausting, literally not trying to cause a fight with this stuff. I guess I'm not shocked that libs love tone-policing autistic transfems no matter how fucking nice you are, though =)

tell them to watch Interface if they want french canadian cyberpunk. Anyway this discord sounds annoying you should just leave it.

I got banned from the discord where the first one is from, probably about to get banned from the one the second is from!

I wouldn't be mucking around in the liberal dirt if there weren't like no places to discuss this stuff, gays in books apparently being a niche subject.

This is honestly the most shocking thing to me. There aren't queer commie book discords?!?! Wtf??
