I'm not joking when I said this, Taluun whom is the infamous mod of Anilist, is starting to ban users who voted for Trump while I do understand that Donald Trump is not the best person and has made many stupid decisions. Taluun's rule is just immature and tyrannical like not every Trump supporter agrees with every of his controversial opinions and calling voters "Nazis" is just generalizing them. This is the reason why I have been avoiding Anilist a lot and plan to do so in the future if the rules get even worse.

@Archolos I got it from their comment: "This is your reminder that nazi-ism, racism, sexism, transphobia, and bigotry in general are not allowed on this site. The implementation of that rule applies to promoting people who are well known for supporting those bigotries as well.

As such any post that promotes the nazi Trump who is well known for his racism and for being a rapist per the courts will result in you being banned. His comments about immigrants "poisoning the blood of the country", the promotion of "the great replacement theory", the racist policies he has, the antisemitic comments he has repeatedly made are all nazi positions. Nazi and their supporters are not welcome here.

Don't try to be cheeky about this, it will be treated all the same."

Yes that's what they actually said, they needs to lay off of politics in an anime tracking site like I understand the world is ass at times but they need to have a happier lifestyle

@Archolos "As far as I am aware MAL and other mainstream social outlets do not allow these things either." Correct as it always should be.

"As long as Anilist mods are not going out of their way to stalk users other social media accounts to have an excuse to ban them on their site it should be fine, but if they do that then it is a problem" Unfortunately they have done this while yes at least what Taluun went against was a horrible person, He stalked a user on Twitter and advocates witch hunting on those that he has banned

@shorl10 He does social media stalk. He did that on Twitter just to ban a user on Anilist

https://anilist.co/activity/825149350

Though he is right the user who's also on Twitter is a horrible person. Though this is still very unprofessional for a mod to do this

@Zettaiken It is not like you don’t have white supremacists or those with antisemitic tendencies not supporting the idea of Israel. It is usually in the same vein as “Africa for blacks and America for Americans”. Even then, the Nazis persecuted many groups overall. The other idea is that linking between the state of Israel’s action to Nazism. Or a generic term for those who oppress and scapegoat other groups of people.

OT: This is also a political thread, to be honest.

This is sure to be a spicy topic. Guess I'll do my signature analysis before the thread's impending closure.

like not every Trump supporter agrees with every of his controversial opinions

Precisely. This is what so many miss. You can support a candidate (whether mentally or politically by voting, etc.) without agreeing with them about everything. You can even personally hate them, albeit less than the opposing candidate(s).

This is the reason why I have been avoiding Anilist a lot and plan to do so in the future if the rules get even worse.

Now I'm even more glad I barely visited that site.

and calling voters "Nazis" is just generalizing them.

SOEMasterAgent said:

As such any post that promotes the nazi Trump

Anyone calling Trump or his supporters Nazis clearly has no idea what the word means.

racism,

who is well known for his racism

the racist policies he has,

In the United States, outright racist government policies are illegal now. The burden of proof is on anyone claiming the contrary.

Trump, Biden and countless other politicians have said racist things, but that is separate from actual policy.

sexism,

As if other politicians have never made sexist remarks.

transphobia,

I don't think those constantly using this word understand what a phobia is. It is an extreme, irrational fear of something. Stating the objective fact that humans are either male or female is neither fearful nor irrational, nor does stating the fact that believing something to be true does not make it true.

Biological sex refers to sexual reproduction...more specifically, viable gametes, of which there are only two, male and female. Even intersex people with developmental defects that alter their chromosomal structure are still either male or female; it does not magically create additional sexes.

Gender is often synonymous with sex, but in the context of differentiated from sex, it is a social construct. Many aspects of personal expression are protected by the constitution, guaranteeing every citizen a degree of autonomy in that regard. So in general, you can freely identify as a man, woman, werewolf, space alien, or whatever, without legal persecution. However, there are certain laws to protect members of one sex or that otherwise apply to sex, and you don't get to circumvent that by claiming you are the opposite sex you actually are. (Which, by the way, is fraud, a crime in some cases.) You also don't get to infringe upon others' right to free speech and so on.

and bigotry in general are not allowed on this site.

Translation: Anything they don't like is not allowed, up to their discretion.

The implementation of that rule applies to promoting people who are well known for supporting those bigotries as well.

No political opinions allowed either, of course. lol

and for being a rapist per the courts

There was not sufficient evidence to criminally convict him of rape. The best they could manage was to sue him in civil court.

His comments about immigrants "poisoning the blood of the country",

Context is key. He was not referring to race there. If they bothered to read the actual quotes, they would see he meant violent criminals and the like.

the promotion of "the great replacement theory",

the antisemitic comments he has repeatedly made

Citation needed.

are all nazi positions. Nazi and their supporters are not welcome here.

How convenient that they fail to produce any evidence of Trump being a Nazi, or of someone being a Nazi for supporting him.

will result in you being banned.

Don't try to be cheeky about this, it will be treated all the same."

Worry not...I won't be using such a pitiful website to begin with.

Yes that's what they actually said, they needs to lay off of politics in an anime tracking site like I understand the world is ass at times but they need to have a happier lifestyle

If they simply discussed politics without banning people for having an opinion, it wouldn't be a problem.

Archolos said:
I agree but it goes both ways, people who decide to bring in politics or religion on an anime tracking website of all places are... weird to put it simply.

It's not weird at all. Many forums have areas for general discussion. Politics are an inevitable topic that is brought up in innumerable threads, even when political threads are disallowed.

As far as I am aware MAL and other mainstream social outlets do not allow these things either.

It depends how extreme the comments are.

Many are simply undeniable facts...like saying that women are generally less interested in certain careers such as engineering, or that whites comprise not much higher than ten percent of the global population...yet some assert such statements are somehow sexist, racist, etc.

SOEMasterAgent said:
Correct as it always should be.

I don't think you have thought this through. A big problem is that those terms are ambiguous. Innocuous behavior can be misconstrued. Previously mainstream opinions are now demonized.

Unfortunately they have done this while yes at least what Taluun went against was a horrible person, He stalked a user on Twitter and advocates witch hunting on those that he has banned

I'm honestly amused by how triggered leftists get over the existence of people who are different than them. How tolerant indeed!

As long as Anilist mods are not going out of their way to stalk users other social media accounts to have an excuse to ban them on their site it should be fine, but if they do that then it is a problem.

shorl10 said:

It's not fine, by my reckoning. People should be allowed to hold opinions and express them within reasonable limits, such as not making criminal threats.

And it's not about whether they can implement casual bans. (They habitually do.) If unsanctioned stances are censored by default, it's only a matter of time until meaningful discussion is eviscerated.

Accusations were levied against Vic, but I have yet to encounter evidence of sexual misconduct. From what I have seen, he hugged a few fans without realizing they did not wish to be hugged. He hugged countless other fans who were fine with it, as this is a common practice at fan conventions.

I don’t care for Donald trumps jew worship and zionism but like hell I would ever side with a literal Marxist subversive like kamala harris.
These leftists are stupid and delusional, they’re fighting against the likes of Palmer Luckey who start their own military technology companies, meanwhile all these people have is antifa and their keyboards.
What pisses me off about all of this is the blatant disregard for what this country and the west stand for, these idiots want to disintegrate rational society and turn our fucking world into Reddit, where if enough obese purple haired feminists dislike what you think they can kick you out of society.
These people need to be killed.
And I’m coming from the perspective of someone who grew up during the golden age of the web of the early 00s which was basically what an ideal libertarian society would look like.

Ahh yes the “great replacement theory” …. “theory” because it’s just something that exists within the minds of insane racist bigots ….

@Cielord Actually, it's probably because Israel has a Nazi government. "Nazi" does actually have a meaning outside of that old German political party, it means more generally a type of fascism which is based around notions of racial supremacy rather than state supremacy. (This being the principle difference between Mussolini and Hitler.) The Israeli government quite clearly meets both of those characteristics.

Anilist doesn't exactly have a burgeoning userbase, so one of their soyboy moderators going on a personal, politically-motivated banning spree after presumably going mad with power isn't going to help with that. Wouldn't surprise me if their forums end up a wasteland like Anime-Planet's in the few years, with the only spurts of activity being from advertisement bots and regulars who treat the place like a personal blog.

All the options in that election were bad, certainly, but "insane religious death cult" describes only Trump and MAGA. There's a big difference between those guys and the continuation of the normal plutocracy. The answer is to build a broad multiracial and diverse working-class-based coalition to challenge the representatives of the rich, not to vote insane religious death cult.

They haven't had much time yet, and also it's not my country so I'm not paying detailed attention to the local news there, but I know we've already had some concentration camp announcements as part of the mass deportations, (and if you think that will be done taking care to avoid deporting anyone who they shouldn't, that's a spectacular level of delusion,) and what amounts to a war against trans people. They had those Nazi salutes from Musk as part of their celebrations, so if you don't know what that means...

If someone shot a gun at you, and missed, would you conclude that you were perfectly safe, or would you work that they might shoot again and hit you the second time? He tried, he messed up and failed because Pence wasn't a fascist. This time they've had years to reflect on that failure and plan the second time properly.

It's perfectly fine for a mod to ban a user that repeatedly spout hate/discriminatory speech on their forums (which I guess is something a few users would disagree with anyway, since they got all sad when they banned BigBoyAdvance). But to ban them for things they said on other websites isn't exactly the right thing to do. Even if it might be tempting to ban potentially toxic individuals, there shouldn't be any reason to ban them if they have yet to do anything wrong on the forum they moderate. And sure, you can't assume that someone supports all the things a politician says because they voted for them. On it's own, to say that you voted for Trump doesn't count as hate speech (but that won't stop me from judging them though).

They have to hold the deportees somewhere while they are being deported. If you want to be dramatic and call them concentration camps, then you don't understand what that means. A concentration camp is an internment center for political prisoners. (Among other things such as their ethnicity.) Internment is the imprisonment of people without legal charges against them. Political prisoners are people imprisoned for their political activism or beliefs. This is markedly different, because they are illegal immigrants with legal charges against them, and it has nothing to do with their political beliefs.

(and if you think that will be done taking care to avoid deporting anyone who they shouldn't, that's a spectacular level of delusion,)

Are you saying they will mass deport legal immigrants with US citizenship too? If so, what evidence do you have for that?

and what amounts to a war against trans people.

Can you elaborate? It would appear you mean some sort of ideological war rather than a literal civil war.

They had those Nazi salutes from Musk as part of their celebrations, so if you don't know what that means...

Elon Musk did not make Nazi salutes. This has been thoroughly debunked. If you think simply extending their arm makes someone a Nazi, then practically all politicians are too. I addressed this in another thread. I'll paste from my post there:

He said "my heart goes out to you" and made gestures going from his chest outward to the audience. He was literally waving toward them, like countless politicians have done. Just watch the video.

Granted, he got a little carried away and should have thought things through before doing something that would so easily be misconstrued. However, anyone who knows even a little bit about Elon Musk knows he generally advocates liberty, the very opposite of fascist/Nazi ideology.

If someone shot a gun at you, and missed, would you conclude that you were perfectly safe, or would you work that they might shoot again and hit you the second time? He tried, he messed up and failed because Pence wasn't a fascist. This time they've had years to reflect on that failure and plan the second time properly.

Trump is not a fascist either. This label is unfounded and butchers the real meaning of the term.

It's ironic that you seem to think Trump is more extreme than Pence, who holds various views that are more extreme.

What exactly did he try, by the way? Be specific.

At any rate, I want detailed information as to how the destruction of democracy would be carried out, not merely your belief that it could happen.

Musk was paraphrasing a Hitler speech at the time, in case anyone is actually in doubt.

Got proof?

Anyway, done with you now..

What a surprise...you are unable to substantiate your claims and relent upon the realization that there are those not ignorant enough to believe the things you do.

It's perfectly fine for a mod to ban a user that repeatedly spout hate/discriminatory speech on their forums (which I guess is something a few users would disagree with anyway, since they got all sad when they banned BigBoyAdvance).

That's not the reason though, BBA often was toxic but his brutal honesty often was entertaining, some thick-skinned users were able to dismiss his toxicity and just have a good laugh at his overly edgy posts, whereas some thin-skinned users felt offended and occasionally started futile fights with him.
No, this isn't my signature.

Yup. That's what I thought.
You were beeing ridiculous in the Forums and some Mod had enough of your shit. Happens.

That's life my dude^^
You didn't just innocently talk about Trump and politics. You were beeing crazy, in a space that doesn't care.

Learn from it.

"You were beeing crazy, in a space that doesn't care" So is Taluun obsessing with political banter for most on Anilist when the site is about tracking anime/manga and banning people even innocent ones who vote for Trump

@SOEMasterAgent

What did you think was gonna happen, btw?^^

You'd come on here and there would be a massive shitstorm, the guy looses his mod status and your ban gets lifted? xD
Cmon^^ You were beeing unreasonable. Im sure you were warned. You didn't listen. Now you're banned.

Don't be petty about it. Just learn from it.

@Merve2Love "You were beeing unreasonable" I'd like to inform you that you're defending the same mods who did not ban a user for saying "If you like Spy X Family's humor, you need to see a psychiatrist" as well as call an innocent Monogatari fan a "dumbass" and letted him slide, defended Disney's decision to add Mushoku Tensei on Disney+ Japan, celebrated the death of Shinzo Abe and banning people for innocent forum questions as they say "Threads should have a clear purpose for existing and aim to incite meaningful discussion" in which they want you to make posts that they agree on like if you make a question in a game on the gaming forums, they'll warn and ban you unlike MAL mods.

@Zarutaku Good for you if his over-the-top toxic takes were entertaining to you. On my end, I mostly thought he was just annoying and had been in my ignored list for a while. Him being banned didn't change much for me.

@Gween_Gween Bruh telling someone to see a psychiatrist for liking Spy X Family should be considered toxic behavior, Would you like it if someone called you a "pedophile" for liking Dragon Maid? I'd say no and calling someone a dumbass for being confused about something is unacceptable. Basenji shouldn't have defended Disney's decision to add Mushoku Tensei as it contains content that would violate Disney's image since it has quite a lot of NC-17 content and themes. Even though Abe was a bad person, you shouldn't celebrate his death as that'd make you no different.
