Not really.

I just thought people should know. I personally wasn't aware that drag queens were one of the untouchables here. But apparently they are.

It's true. You called them deviants.

You never did explain what you meant by that, by the way.

If that is what the guy said I disagree with it, but it is totally biased if everyone from now on doesn't get modded for calling a person or group a deviant. If there are different rules for which insults you can use on certain groups then they should go word by word and let it be known which combination of insult and group you can't use. If not it should be equal across the board.

TC has been banned multiple times for talking about how LGBT related issues (before that it was white people) are ruining society and need to be kept behind closed doors.

The more you know, the more open you go.

I never talk about gays or lesbians really. They're mostly fine with me.

If you call an entire group of people deviants, that will likely get you modded.

Hopefully TC learned from this...

You could say something like "I think trans people are creepy." That is an opinion, not an outright insult to said group of people as a whole.

On the other hands calling an entire group of people deviants is generally really insulting to said group of people, and I could see that being "offensive."

The term CEmen is like a conglomeration of anonymous entities, so it doesn't apply to a specific group.

I imagine if you said white people are deviants you would also probably get modded.

On the other hand saying something like "pedophiles are deviants" may or may not get you modded, because technically by definition it's true. But by definition "drag queens" are also deviants.

Hmm... Not sure where the line is, better just not call an entire group of people deviants though, that's probably a good takeaway.

You agreed to give up your right to free speech on this message board when you signed up.

Don't get me wrong, the mods have power trip issues here, but that doesn't change that you were rightfully modded given what has been gleamed from this topic.

EDIT: BTW did your CEmen comment get moderated? If so point proven, calling a group of people deviants is not a good plan.

No kidding I once got modded for using the wrong pronoun addressing an article. Wasn't hateful or spiteful, just a casual comment. Clean history, 3KL, upheld and upheld. The first dispute was to ask what I did wrong because I had no idea.

Fucking bullshit.

Your getting modded hasn't impinged upon your constitutional right to free speech because it's not the US government that's modding you.

Your modding can be interpreted as a violation of a contract you signed in order to use this forum.

Your refusal to critically engage with the nuances of either of the above, or differences between groups doesn't protect you from the consequences of not understanding those nuances.

Any further questions?

None of that changes the fact that GameFAQs hates free speech. No one is questioning their right as a private company to hate free speech. Yet they dont have to exercise that right.

What a fail at trying to sound smart.

Then unfortunately you have to deal with the overzealous mods like all of us.

But in your case the moderation made sense.

I made a topic about this, but this might be a better topic to get feedback since there are users here that might have different opinions


So what are your thoughts on this? Is it degenerate or deviant to devote an entire youtube channel (that from what i've heard, shows up on youtube kids) to pushing an agenda on naive impressionable preschoolers, about things that are very much adult subject matters (like drag)?

If you insult an entire group and your reasons are more insults of course you'll get modded.

Pointing out the rampant transmisogyny in the queen community? That's not going to get deleted. Calling out Ru Paul for insulting actual trans women along that axis of reasoning? That's fine to post. But when you broadly stroke a brush of calling them all something bad? That's going to end up marked and deleted.

Conflating the two is actually not a good idea. Yes, some are both. But usually the two have no link besides the latter thinking at some point they might be the former.
