these are all the same sort of animal. do you understand.
these are all small skittish creatures that love to bite and are found in drawers of garages and classrooms. they’re all related and in the same small biter family. weird little kids who play with them while they’re distracted and have empathy for them can tame them and become these beasts companions
Thank the Lord someone understands
Audrey R., who’s running for the OTW board, is apparently also currently running for office. As a Republican
so uhhhhhh keep that in mind when you’re voting
you’re saying this like a liberal who has the view of republicans.bad dems good and vote blue no mayter who.
y-yes? i sort of think the website that was founded because every other website was purging queer fanwork would be best served by someone who isn’t a member of the We Love Burning Books and Killing Gay People party. but that’s just the humble opinion of someone with a brain that works
For give me, but is this person running for Ao3 board and CONGRESSS at the same time??
Read Fairestcat’s breakdown of Audrey R’s answers to the OTW candidate Q&A for more in-depth reasons you probably don’t want to vote her onto the board https://fairestcat.dreamwidth.org/678527.html
Then read about all the other candidates and decide who you DO want to vote for -- there are 6 candidates and 4 open seats -- https://elections.transformativeworks.org/otw-elections-candidates/
Reminder that if you want to vote AGAINST someone in the OTW Board elections, you need to NOT RANK THEM AT ALL. If you rank them last, you've still voted for them--just less enthusiastically than you've voted for everyone else.
Rank ONLY the candidates you would be WILLING to see win. DO NOT rank any candidates you would not be willing to see win.
Hey yeah in the midst of all the hype and the strikes, can we PLEASE fucking talk about this
"Whilst it’s true that there is no computer-generated imagery (CGI) in the movie, visual effects will have been used to digitally alter several images through the use of compositing.
In the case of Oppenheimer, it was the British visual design company DNEG who helped bring the movie to life, yet it has come to light that the majority of the effects crew were not credited for their work. Only 26 names have been listed in the film’s credits, yet it is thought that this number should have been around 125."
That wonderful home cooking! #vintage #cottagecore #supertaster #aesthetic #momcore
What did I do to deserve a fate such as this.
girl it was already blazed....naught but embers
Inspired by the brief period of time I thought I was polyamorous because I felt the same way about my boyfriend as I did my best friends and I hadn't clocked yet that all of those feelings were platonic
love that this caused so much controversy the thread needed to be locked. over chicken sandwich
gang this does not even scratch the surface
Someone posted a picture of a piece of chicken between two hamburger buns titled “Chicken Burger” to /r/food. Another user commented “Chicken Sandwich” on the post, and was slapped with a 30 day ban by the mods. When they responded to ask why, the mod said
“Correcting someone in public is public shaming, on top of being incorrect, it’s a pretty shitty comment to leave.”
So now /r/food is on lockdown after being spammed with posts titled “Chicken Sandwich” and other variations. The mod that handed the ban down pinned a post doubling down, comparing the situation to “Pride posts that always fill up with bigots” and “removing racists from posts featuring POC”, and including a link on “how to correctly, correct someone.”
because someone commented “Chicken Sandwich” on a post titled “Chicken Burger”.
Okay but this also does not scratch the surface either
It all started when the sandwich guy posted about what happened to him on r/TIFU, which led to a lot of outrage including someone in the comments saying they were also banned from r/food just for saying they had diabetes (this was later confirmed by a mod). All this anger turned into a brigade which resulted in the entire sub being flooded with almost nothing but posts about Chicken Sandwiches, now known as burgergate. The mod who initially instituted the ban then went on to compare fending off spammers to defending the capitol building during the January 6 riot.
You can see in the post that this made it into r/subredditdrama, a community which discusses ongoing drama across reddit. This particular thread in the screenshot is locked, an interesting detail for reasons that come into play later.
Someone else then goes and posts about burgergate on another sub, r/iamveryculinary , which is dedicated to making fun of food related snobbery and drama. This does not go over well, as it turns out that one of the mods of r/food is also a mod of r/iamveryculinary. This mod then proceeds to get slapfights in the comments, which notably includes her saying she would “rain fiery hell upon” anyone who posts chicken sandwiches in r/food, and complaining that she’s so focused on moderating burgergate that she has no time to spend with her kids. People then beg her to forget the chicken sandwich drama and take care of her children. I would love to give you some more details about this incident or tell you the other side, but I can’t since she deleted all the comments of the people she was arguing with so most of what we have left is just the things she herself said.
Someone then goes on to post about the r/iamveryculinary drama on r/subredditdrama again. This post immediately gets deleted completely, because it turns out that the r/food mod who also moderates r/iamveryculinary also moderates r/subredditdrama. More people beg the mod to stop caring about the drama and spend time with her kids.
The whole thing eventually gets posted to r/subredditdramadrama , a meta sub where people discuss drama that goes down in r/subredditdrama.
Another post is then made to r/subredditdramadrama, where the sandwich guy who was initially banned posts his conversation with the mod that banned him. Up until this point, the original mod had been arguing that the permanent ban wasn’t because of the chicken sandwich comment (which was only a 30 day ban), but because he had been rude to the mods when asking why. Screenshots show sandwich guy simply asking why he was banned and then apologizing for the chicken sandwich comment, only to be smugly told by the mod that he needs to “educate himself”, who also insinuates that he’s a weirdo and calls his comment shitty. Don’t miss this mod showing up in the comments of these screenshots and arguing with everyone else over them.
So basically the whole thing was one innocuous comment about a chicken sandwich which quickly spiralled into a multi-sub meltdown that has lasted for about two days now. Chicken sandwich guy has not, as far as I know, been unbanned as of yet.
All of us on Tumblr that never get on Reddit:
Okay so I was actually on Reddit when this all went down and none of these explanations actually include the end of the story.
Someone posts the entirety of the burgergate saga to r/iamatotalpieceofshit and gets banned because guess what, she’s a moderator of that subreddit too.
People started looking more closely at subreddit moderator lists and discovered that she was the moderator of SEVERAL HUNDRED wildly popular subreddits and would ban people for mentioning chicken sandwiches in any of those. So multiple subreddits start petitions to get her off the mod team due to the notion that no one person should have power that far reaching but she pushes back on all of them for. And I am not making this up. The claim that wanting to get a woman off a moderation team is misogyny. Comment sections are nuked. Posts are deleted. This is a woman gone mad with power who sees the tide of public opinion fully against her and is trying desperately to hold on to that position. She starts posting rants about how men are evil and the scourge of the Earth until she’s been thrown off mod teams for this. Everyone gets bored and she fades into obscurity.
And I haven’t even mentioned the bribery and corruption allegations yet.
