A small group of people were offended by a joke that unintentionally came across transphobic, and as a result this persons account was blacklisted. Even after getting the account reinstated, there were lasting complications with the state of the account (these probably technical issues) and the account was basically lost for good.
The 9th paragraph is where the incident is discussed.
What do yall think of this?
I’ve definitely been misunderstood myself, and it kinda sucks to think that my account could be lost for good due to a few reports, hasty banning, and some bug in the software.
I mean, it was never “in favor”; as far as I know, it had always been a slur
I can’t see how OP was “failed by moderation”; I assume the instance they were on had a zero tolerance policy for such language, and honestly someone with a blog on the internet that had a twitter account probably should have known that that word was a slur and still is
maybe they’ll realize why they got banned and figure out that “jokes” like that aren’t tolerable, but with how they reacted here I don’t know
Yeah it’s important to know the difference between a trans person calling themselves that and someone randomly saying that slur.
I also hope OP (as in the blog owner) knows that being bisexual doesn’t make him exempt from transphobia.
