People talk about the excesses of the Cultural Revolution and how it was wrong for people to be punished with extreme public humiliation for relatively minor infractions. To that I say, clearly there is an inherent human instinct to humiliate oneself, because how else do you explain people doing these kinds of hilarious antics?

I’m one paragraph in and yeah, lemme just trust someone whose prose reads like the obvious scheming court advisor in someone’s first DND game.

holy shit, shut the fuck up dweeb

Isn’t LarkinDePark the person who thought Latin-transliterated Bengali was ‘bad’ English?

Also, she’s already been banned now, so it’s okay to dunk on her

Dunk approved.

This was a very strange thing for someone to do. Larkin could’ve just said nothing and been chill, instead they did this whole anime villain rant about how they’ve been unjustly banned for two whole weeks. and went all Phoenix Wright in the comments, arguing with people and claiming everyone was “lying” because they just took the most bad faith interpretation of everyone else’s words they could.

Especially considering how patient the mods were with them when just posting this screed alone is probably worth a ban, instead the mods allowed a unilateral community decision to ban them. Such mod overreach!

I am a principled Marxist Leninist, active in real life and any reading of my contributions will support this and refute this slur on my character.

I expect a complete apology, a clearing of my name

I run a large ML forum with weekly views of tens of thousands

She is one step away from her saying “I am the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Wyoming (Maoist Third Worldist), after I was kicked out of the Communist Party of Wyoming (Marxist Leninist) for merely critically supporting Shining Path”

Not givin 6 honest lines over the internet. Bad opsec.

Look I am the regent of crashing out on motherfuckers and even I had to sit here and raise an eyebrow like… I’d understand it if the plague rat struggle session somehow got reheated and people still be stuck in their ways; but… If I got a translation of some ish wrong and still crashed out over it, I’d want someone that’s actually in community with me to ‘ey, chill; you’re on the wrong end of the stick here’-- which it seemed like that’s what was happening until Lark doubled down.

A shame. I thought her more on the level than what the modlog would imply. If it’s meant to be, she’ll be back under a new name chilled the fuck out. …I mean, it’s either that or the THERMONUCLEAR ending.

I expect a complete apology, a clearing of my name and censure against my attacker and abuser. Those involved shamed themselves with their actions. You have an opportunity to make amends and undo that injustice you’ve inflicted.

God damn those are long posts.

I don’t know. They definitely seem pretentious and generally hyperbolic, but I don’t know if we should start posting people from Grad. I usually think of us all on sibling instances and I would hate to see fighting. And there are some with alts on both instances too, so may lead to some friendly fire.

The way people reqct to being banned from Hexbear vs Lemmygrad is interesting

Everybody sucks here.

I’m not gonna read 14,000 words of internet drama because I’m not a loser, but he says he was called racist because of a misreading, which is exactly the sort of thing that’d happen in places like these. Then it probably spiralled out of control.

Death to liberals.
