I guess I'll have to bring out @DemonISM@snouts.online so they can start the process of migrating instances. What a drag.

Let me put it in simple terms, if I fuck up, and you react by triggering flashbacks and memories of my abusive mother in order to tell me that I did, you have fucked up too.

Screenshot dunking is not...

• holding people accountable
• making a statement
• criticism of the behavior displayed

Screenshot dunking is...

• malicious
• morally narcissistic
• based on white-centric ideas on discipline

The fact that people are defending this is....concerning. And no, the allegations of the people being dunked on being racist doesn't make it better, it just means that both your hands are dirty now.

There are better ways of spreading awareness, and educating and warning the masses about racism. This....this ain't it.

@thr33h3ad3ddragon@snouts.online Consider this. A healthy community always has a small supply of the benefit of the doubt handy for situations where the accidental faux-pas happens.

The fact that this event happened does show that there are a lot of issues with the community that lurked underneath the surface that nobody really talks about until a spillover happens, and suddenly everyone's coming at each other with knives out. Almost as if in an opportunistic manner.

@PsyChuan Yeah, in situations like this, the term "lashon hara" is apt, because it points out that whatever is going on, there is a lot of "evil tongue" going around with the sole intent to harm, without regard for accountability.

@PsyChuan What a mess, jesus.

@PsyChuan Ahh yeah, I see. The rumor mill tends to distort things pretty harshly.

Telling me to get out of your mentions for telling you that your moral narcissism ain't it is only going to cement that you're horribly toxic who shouldn't be interacted with at all.

Especially when you brag about screenshot dunking reports behind people's backs. When people complain, that's not because they're worried about "cancel culture" as you so aptly project, it's because what you're doing is lashon hara.

I am getting mixed messages as to which party are being racist. Is it the person who got reported being racist, or the people reporting them?

Either way, this is completely tangled in with impression I got that the admins of Snouts mishandled the situation and it just went downhill from there. A few people got harassed off the platform too, and I have to wonder how much of this is necessary.

Like, at the end of the say i consider a majority of Snouts to be anti-authoritarian at least in some sense, and a lot of them are invested in yeeting Trump. With this implosion happening so close to the elections, I feel like the shut-down is going to do a lot more harm than good.

@emptylullaby yeah, no. This ain't it. chief.

@PsyChuan Oh wtf, what happened there?

Did something happen to make people move to yiff.life?

I need to get back to tinkering with Reaktor 6

I am sick of the spiritually supine cowards that call themselves leftists who constantly spread complacency and mediocrity in the face of fascist action being taken, that it's morally or practically wrong to suggest we take means to protect ourselves with deadly force if need be, when the worst happens.

This moral narcissism don't fly in my ship, and it shows that those people are more invested in perpetuating the system rather than changing it.

@mx_frisk_dreamer hugs At the very least, you can be assured that I value your presences.

You know, it fills me with bitterness whenever I think about how ZDoom is now considered the de-facto source port purely on the merit of a mod that was made by a Bolsonaro-loving fascist and a transphobe using recycled semi-functional code and stolen assets.

The head developers could have easily averted this fate, but they, especially Graf Zahl, are narcissistic psychopaths obsessed with maintaining control over the development cycle of the source port. This came complete with the double speak of modulating between wanting ZDoom to be faithful to vanilla Doom functionality, and crowbarring in poorly-thought out features just to stay ahead of the competition.

In a way, the development of ZDoom mirrors the development history of Brutal Doom, maintained by absolutely shitty people, without a clear vision for development feature sets, and gaining unwarranted and unearned popularity via unscrupulous means.

What stings the most is that Graf would do nothing about Brutal Doom despite the author Marcos Abenante being such an insufferable shitbird that half of the zdoom modders went out of their way to break Brutal Doom compatibility, and yet he would single out and target anotak for creating Lilith.pk3, a unique mod that exploits the source port glitches at the time for interesting effect, even going so far as going out of his way to break compatibility with Lilith.pk3.

The day the ZDoom team stages a mutiny and flushes the two turds Graf Zahl and Eruanna from the development team, is the day ZDoom development can once again be by the people, for the people.
