Can you be moderately homophobic? Haha

Sometimes @Basic_human says he is. But we can fix him

That's enough for a ban, a couple of years ago or so there was a user that got banned for being a tad racist and saying homosexuality was a mental illness. As a matter fact, they logged in here to complain about the fact they were banned on MangaDex's Discord for the same things and... didn't end well for them. I managed to find it: https://forums.mangadex.org/threads/banned-from-discord.1791202/

honestly why do people have to be like that? like, i understand being a bit misinformed abt certain groups, but at least you can become more informed. these types of people more often than not don't change, though...

That's crazy

Honestly, it's probably due to the fear of change and the echo chamber of similar beliefs made by social media sites. That's all I'm going to say about this topic, though

Yeah, @Basic_human might be a little racist and homophobic (and maybe even a little crazy), but he's still our basic bro.

Flashback to when I was homophobic in middleschool (I just copied opinions of people around me without thinking) and a classmate was trying to make me into a fujoshi.
Today, even without her influence I became a fujoshi anyway (and ally of course)

Regrettably it's not something that has been happening for a decade or two, it's not even Internet originated. In the last century, with the lack of foreign enemies, countries all around the world had to (progressively) create imaginary enemies which were already inside the society: immigrants, non-heterosexuals, women and/or certain population groups. Of course, it started in already stabilised countries (with descolonisation it became worldwide-like) and nowadays keeps being of use for the same reasons. Doing it on the Internet is essentially free of guilt/responsability, and seeing others do it makes them more insensitive, just like IRL bullying. And since this is one of the dominant ideas, some sentences are repeated like a dogma "that makes you gay / at least I'm not gay / keep your distance gay / etc.". If repeated as an adult, they become part of you, so it's really hard to expect tolerance from this kind of "grown-ups".

Someone I'd ban and someone I had in my ignore list for a good reason, and they were not manga preferences.

Didn't you give him a second chance a couple months back? I'm guessing it fell through..

I removed the ignore, for now he's been behaving "decently", but the Sword of Damocles is there.

I don't really like blocking/ignoring people so I'll only ignore someone if they're really bad/annoying. I fear for the first person I have to unironically do so such a thing to.

I'm his descendant, so I'll guess I'll be the punching bag from now on.
Suits my real life character, honestly.

I can't tell if all these members are waiting to snatch the 23k or not until someone does.

Probably both. I'm honestly waiting for 25000.
