lol fuck you, asshole

[grace cathedral park]

Such a shame Norm was bullied into not apologizing and double downing on her behavior to the point she personally decided on her own accord to leave the board. What a cruel, unrelenting culture the internet has given us.

[grace cathedral park]

it's such a shame a boarder that had 20 pages of people telling her how awesome she is was forced to confront two upset boarders. what a horrible toxic place this is.

[grace cathedral park]

Such a shame that a boarder that has taken numerous breaks over her board tenure has chosen to take another board break. I'm so worn by the horrors of callout culture, we are clearly on the verge of a civil war.

Jay Reatard is a pretty problematic stage name, tbh

Rest in Piss, Jay "Retarded" Reatard

Fats Domino lived seven more years after Jay died.

time to ammend the "board's history with treating women" op

to include norm implying that trans women still retain male habits?

I reeeaaalllly don't want to drag this on, but what happened wasn't a personal attack. we live in a transphobic culture. it’s not a targeted insult to alert someone to their echoing of transphobic sentiments. I've been called out for posting and saying sexist comments in the past. I apologized and continually make a conscious effort to eradicate that conditioning from my thoughts, speech & behavior. I'm still friends with those people who called me out and value that this community has people willing to do that extra work.

no one ever said they wanted norm banished from the board. she's obviously welcome here and the majority of boarders either don't see the problematic doubling-down on transphobic comments or they deliberately choose to not care about it! it's disingenuous to say that people berated her and it's not helpful to making this community a safer & more tolerant space. I doubt that's what boarders like riverchrist care about, though.

many are quick to point to these arguments as power-battles between hostile factions on the board. that's not only misleading, it frames any pushback on intolerant language as petty, calculated and opportunistic. there's not much utility in once again instigating this argument when one party isn't present and I wish people would think twice before neatly wrapping this up as more proof of cruel tone-policing.

[Kenny]

you fucking centrist, trouble

[theendoftheworld666@aol.com]

anyone here notice that trans women are targeted for extermination and when they complain about it they're told they dont get why they make a big deal about it
