@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.
@SOEMasterAgent i chose to believe that you are trolling rn and all the people who fell to your bait are insanely idiotic

He actively has said hateful things against minority groups and his biggest ally did the Sieg Heil. I can understand why the mods of a website would want absolutely nothing to do with him because all he does is start shit. Why the fuck should an anime site even allow people to openly glaze specific politicians to begin with? It makes no sense. The things you said were actively inflammatory too so its no wonder you got the boot lol. I swear people like you have such a persecution fetish that you project onto others when called out on it

None of these statements justify a ban, the first 2 are harmless insults and the last one would be a totally absurd reason to ban someone.

You're absolutely right here, afterall, we are on an anime forum, not a political one

But

This should apply to ALL politics, regardless of which side you lean on, regardless of if you're comment is positive or negative, not a "rules for thee not for me" situation

Hence unless we're discussing what Trump's and Biden's favorite anime are, neither of them should really be brought up on an anime site

@DigiCat
i mean its one thing if youre protecting yourself or something from hate, or to discuss influences behind the narrative of popular shows since a lot of shows will take influence from social and economic issues of the time of release, but its definitely another thing completely when its just like "politician bad/good" especially when there's 0 relevance to the discussion at hand

Shhhh, no snitching, you!

OT:
I think Trump is really bad. However, I'd rather Anilist or MAL not ban people who think otherwise, as that doesn't make them agree with the thesis. They should be made eminently aware that this is really bad instead.

Here are some material about why his second term is especially pernicious for the world:

Trump's Nightmare List Of Executive Orders


To hone on the most neglected one, also see:

The Upcoming PEPFAR Cut Will Kill Millions, Many of Them Children


Motivating excerpt to read the rest:
A mother holds her sick baby to her chest. She knows he doesn’t have long to live. She hears him coughing—those body-wracking coughs—that expel mucus and phlegm, leaving him desperately gasping for air. He is just a few months old. And yet that’s how old he will be when he dies.

The aforementioned scene is likely to become increasingly common in the coming years. Fortunately, there is still hope.

Trump recently signed an executive order shutting off almost all foreign aid. Most terrifyingly, this included shutting off the PEPFAR program—the single most successful foreign aid program in my lifetime. PEPFAR provides treatment and prevention of HIV and AIDS—it has saved about 25 million people since its implementation in 2001, despite only taking less than 0.1% of the federal budget. Every single day that it is operative, PEPFAR supports:

  • More than 222,000 people on treatment in the program collecting ARVs to stay healthy;
  • More than 224,000 HIV tests, newly diagnosing 4,374 people with HIV – 10% of whom are pregnant women attending antenatal clinic visits;
  • Services for 17,695 orphans and vulnerable children impacted by HIV;
  • 7,163 cervical cancer screenings, newly diagnosing 363 women with cervical cancer or pre-cancerous lesions, and treating 324 women with positive cervical cancer results;
  • Care and support for 3,618 women experiencing gender-based violence, including 779 women who experienced sexual violence.

Simply wanting a group of people to be killed (which is something someone else said, not me) does not make someone a Nazi. You are yet another person who clearly has no idea what the word means. Here you go. Read and learn.

Anybody that isn't d-riding Dear Leader knows what Trumpism is, and it isnt simply just a return to the 20s, its a materialistic, Prosperity Gospel-driven idolatry of greaseball billionaires with God complexes manipulating bland normalfags' biases, with full intent of screwing them over. Trumpism isnt for the people, its for a small circle, and is about as fascist as any 20th century dictatorship. Maybe if you were in reality perhaps you wouldn't be so smug and repent for what you've done, but I think it would take much for the victims to reconcile such willful ignorance.

You are entitled to your opinion, but you're not presenting any objective data here.

Trumpism isnt for the people, its for a small circle, and is about as fascist as any 20th century dictatorship.

Utterly ridiculous. Fascism has a centralized autocracy with a dictator who wields absolute political power, with extreme suppression of individual freedom, often resulting in mass murder of its citizens. The United States is a constitutional republic with elected representatives, separation of powers, and a high degree of personal freedom...not remotely close to fascism. Trump is a capitalist, not a fascist.

Maybe if you were in reality perhaps you wouldn't be so smug and repent for what you've done, but I think it would take much for the victims to reconcile such willful ignorance.

I'm American but I don't support either of the two main rotating parties or really like or support 99.9% of their stated or actual policies or individual politicians serving as their national and state-level representatives and office-holders (though I have voted and not voted, depending on the election in question, over a very few specific limited number of pet issues), but apart from all that, that is the problem with Anilist crystallized and on display for all to see. I just wrote a post on this very topic on MAL quite recently.

That website, including its forum, is run by a clique of clear ideologues who go above and beyond and overreach in seeking to serve as some form of wannabe totalitarian censorious language police and try to enforce a uniform line of groupthink and ideological conformity tuned to their preferences and specifications down the throats of all their members and participants. It's really disgusting and unsightly behavior for the type of website it is, which should not be involved in any way, shape, or form whatsoever in forcing some ideological purity test on its userbase or promote an atmosphere of discrimination of some over their political and philosophical beliefs.

Even on MAL which is generally more free, especially in off-topic sub-forums and threads or areas dedicated to such discussion, I pretty seldom get too involved in discussing and debating all those issues because in most cases I've been there done that arguing over that stuff online for years in the past, am burned out on it and have arrived at a more apathetic position on a lot of it, though can still generally understand and sympathize with both or multiple conflicting perspectives. But on places like Anilist I did so even less, meaning hardly ever (probably primarily because I just used that website including its forum, even from the beginning of joining it, comparatively less than MAL), and yet still received some snippy PM warning from one of the thought police over there at one point for not using some word correctly or the less PC version of some term in favor of some other. So ridiculous, meaningless, and inconsequential, I don't even remember the details of it and my memory is normally quite sharp for minutiae.

But from that point on I realized it was hardly worth investing any time or energy over there if folks like that were empowered to attempt to force their values and will on others like some religious cult, so I've hardly posted on the forum at all over there in the past several years.

The reality though, is that no one is entitled to that money. If the U.S. decides to withdraw it, that is its sovereign prerogative, regardless of how many foreigners die as a result. Every state has that sovereign privilege to revoke foreign aid at any time, even if billions of lives are weighed against a penny or closest penny equivalent in their national currency (even if in practical terms it's something which only concerns wealthy donor states in the developed world).

The reality is also that the U.S., like any other government in the present-day or in all of human history, was never doing it out of a sense of humanism or benevolent charity to begin with, but influence-currying

The NSDAP is demonized because it lost the war to a collection of states which had a shared vested interest in preventing upstart countries from gobbling up their share of the planet's spoils. If it had prevailed in the war then it would be glorified instead because its beneficiaries rather than its victims and opponents would be overseeing the school textbooks. And in both instances, most people would mindlessly cheer or boo either way because most ideology is acquired via osmosis.

Yes, Israel did ethnically cleanse Arab lands and I don't support the policy of making Gaza inhabitable which the current Israeli government is carrying out. It's still nothing comparable to the nazis, in fact, nothing is comparable to the nazis. The current causalities estimate on the Palestinian side is +/- 45 thousand including combatants in this war. Germany was able to kill similar amounts of people in a single day. The first Babi Yar massacre was carried out in two days with 33k+ dead. +/- 16 million Soviet CIVILIANS perished as a result of the war and millions more soldiers.

@Commit_Crime If we are talking about the Nazis and the Arab-Israeli conflict, it is strange that accusations of genocide and ethnic intolerance come from people who organized a terrorist raid on civilians of the other side and whose activists were even quite openly proud of the destruction of civilians as a delusional “act of justice”. But even being a person with partially Jewish roots, I cannot but condemn the indiscriminate bombing of the Gaza. This simply depreciates the struggle against terrorism and even more deeply deepens the ethnic enmity between Jews and Arabs.

The executive order in question makes it harder for the government to pressure social media websites. It does not force the websites to allow total free speech, as that would violate their own free speech to control what is on their private platforms.

"Project 2025 isn't even Trump's blueprint. It was written by a think tank starting before Trump was even the Republican nominee. Project 2025 was authored by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, as an installation in their long-running Mandate For Leadership series. It's a set of policy suggestions Heritage has published for every incoming presidential administration since 1981. They've written recommendations just like this for Reagan, Clinton, Bush, even Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Presidents and presidential candidates don't commission or author these documents. Every administration simply receives the Heritage Foundation's Mandate For Leadership series as a list of suggestions. They get similar proposals from numerous other policy think tanks from the left and right. And of course, politicians are free to interpret them as infallible dogmatic texts, or kindling. Trump has repeatedly rejected it. He stated that he hasn't even read it...but from what he's heard, some parts are reasonable and others are, quote, "Ridiculous and abysmal.""

Until people realize that virtue signaling is political and everyone in society hates it, dems can never win another election. You've already lost the supreme court for many years and most liberal wins going back to Clinton, why do you keep digging the hole deeper? Now is the time for chill, not panic, now is the time to hold cards close to chest. What is it going to take for you silly fucks to realize that this illiberal shit doesn't work? Online protesting is not real life, you lost THE POPULAR VOTE, get f-d seriously.

Energy was for election not sitting at home, the part where you had a say is over. Save your energy for when it really counts.

Trump promised to enforce free speech laws on social media, it'd be funny if what he is doing would be literally illegal.

The executive order in question makes it harder for the government to pressure social media websites. It does not force the websites to allow total free speech, as that would violate their own free speech to control what is on their private platforms.

@SmugSatoko

He literally implemented a ton of shit from it, that is far from disavowing it.

@DarkInsomnia57 I think this is not how much the problem of democrats, how much the problem of democrats as a political majority. Just give the Republicans the time to become the same dominant and you will see exactly the same mentality, if not worse. People very easily become uncritical to their actions and blindly believers in their views if they meet only homogeneous support for their views. Or at least have an illusion of this. That is why the echo cameras is such an evil.
