It's cause they're lazy and don't stop the pen when they get to the part where they're supposed to double back. They draw a circle so they can keep the pen moving and save energy.
I said the user didn't exist five times in this post. I just counted all the times I said "fictional", "fake", or "made-up". And then you left a comment saying Obvious_Troll is an aussie zone user, the transphobic troll uses neopronouns, and I'm transphobic for calling them a troll. Multiple people told you that Obvious_Troll doesn't exist, and your response was that I must be mistaken about Obvious_Troll not existing, because you defederated from Hexbear. What??? Why do you keep insisting this person is real, and why do you keep insisting they're trans? What quality of this fictional troll telling trans people to kill themselves repeatedly convinces you that they're a trans person?
EDIT: Sneaky, sneaky. Editing your comment after I replied, so it would look like I didn't answer your question. If you want me to answer a new question, ask it in a new comment. Don't go back and change history to make yourself look better.
This post isn't about the instance the fictional troll is from. I made a post with a transphobic troll in it, and picked a username, instance, and post name that fit with the message. I picked a silly name for an obvious troll, a silly post title for a post about abstaining over Palestine, and a silly instance for the troll to be from. I didn't really think any deeper about the association than "Troll needs an instance, I'll pick the one known for having trolls". And when you asked me to redact the instance, I did, and the post remained up until you deleted the community. I always followed the rules and did as you told me on Blahaj. This post isn't about the instance redaction, that has always been a non-issue. This post is about you seeing a meme about a fictional transphobic troll and assuming they're a real, trans, person. Which has now happened twice! Why do you keep assuming every transphobic troll you hear about is trans? It's weird.
Sure. And I did remove the instance name as requested, and the meme stayed up until the entire community it was posted in was later deleted. This post isn't about the instance censoring. This post is about the initial decision by Ada that Obvious_Troll must be a real, trans lemmy user, which has now happened twice, because Ada claimed Obvious_Troll is real again.
That's after I said the name was fake. Ada started out thinking Obvious_Troll was a real person, and only realised they were fake when I said so. Then she changed her request to censoring the instance instead of the person. You need to read the screenshot bottom to top, because Lemmy puts more recent private messages at the top. I know it's annoying.
The meme was about how transphobia is bad. You asked me to censor Obvious_Troll's name because I was framing Obvious_Troll's transphobic opinion as bad. You decided the fictional transphobic troll is actually a real trans person I was attacking, so you asked me to censor their name. Come on, I explained all of this in the post body which you keep quoting, and there's you in the screenshot clearly stating that I'm "encouraging dumping on that person", who is the fictional transphobic troll. I can understand you not remembering something that happened a couple months ago, but I explained it all in the post, and you can see it. Can you... do you lack the ability to tell the difference between facts and fiction? Is that what's going on? I'm just bewildered by this conversation. It's like you're only reading one in every 10 words and just jumping between random conclusions.
I still have a copy of the meme. I didn't want to post it here because I didn't want this thread to be an argument over politics, but I see we're already derailed with Ada claiming the meme actually happened. This is the meme:
See? The username is Obvious_Troll. This has nothing to do with any aussie.zone user. The troll's pronouns are not a topic of discussion in the meme. As you can see in the screenshot of my conversation with Ada a month ago (actually probably two months now, that's an old screenshot), we were talking about a Spider-Man glasses meme. This is that meme. The person in the meme doesn't exist.
They're not. I made them up for a meme. I created a meme where someone said a bad opinion, and I gave them the fake username Obvious_Troll because I wanted the reader to think they were obviously a troll. If Obvious_Troll is real, can you give me a link to their profile? Any of their posts?
Yes, it was a meme. It was fiction. There wasn't really a user called Obvious_Troll@hexbear.net, they never existed. They don't have an account on aussie.zone because they're imaginary. There was never a debate about their pronouns because I made them up. They only existed in the meme you asked me to censor their name from.
I disagree. Look at the time Justin Roiland was accused of false imprisonment, and they replaced Rick and Morty. It went great, the new Rick and Morty sound perfect. Now look at how Marvel dragged their feet on replacing Jonathan Majors and eventually decided to just ignore all their Kang foreshadowing and replace him with Dr Doom. It sucks, they should have just recast him.
Recasting allows newer and less well known actors to break into an entertainment industry dominated by sequels, adaptations, and franchises. They reduce the capital held by big time actors who are already far too rich. Recasting is good.
We don't want to re-federate with Hexbear. I've been misgendered by one of their power users in the past and the admins did absolutely nothing about it.
