I’m a dumbass for responding to NEET at all after they used a clown world emoji, but in my defence I only learned that’s a Nazi dog-whistle after I showed my phone (and the Discord exchange on it) to an RL friend of mine, who was immediately alarmed by it and pointed out a whole host of other dog-whistles throughout.

The far more transparent actual slurs should’ve been harder to miss, and addressed much sooner and more harshly. I don’t at all understand the idea of asking a person nicely to stop three times when it’s already clear they’re not there in good faith. Like why sit there and let them do this whole Jigsaw spiel, and have it drag out for a week while everyone else is made uncomfortable? That could’ve and should’ve been resolved within seconds.

Honestly this was the first time in my life I’ve ever found myself understanding their mindset that the people they’re there to harass are weak. You don’t debate these people, you shut them down immediately. WT-actual-F.

Actually I just realized that self-identifying as a NEET is another low rent internet Nazi signifier. Holy shit. I’ve seen this before but never put two and two together until now.

Is it? That’s a new one for me.

@Pavel

Yeah, I encountered a particularly nasty one a while back that was really trying to lean into the “oh woe is me I have no prospects and am an adult manchild ok i’m gonna be a fascist now” routine and honked that particular horn a lot.

Also I knew another guy in a small internet community who eventually got put on a wagon out of town. Mind you, I’m not a professional researcher of these folks but I remember what I see.

[Pavel]

@SpaceKhomeini See, I did the woe is me no prospects adult manchild thing, and I became a socialist (or social democrat or… something lefty and ineffective) instead.

The hardest of sames, here.

Clearly they aren’t interested in doing anything about the nazis there, because they allow them to just come right back onto the server after getting the boot:

And then when a server mod sees it going on (again)…

@EDI7078 Clean up your shit, unless this is the sort of thing that you want going on on your Discord server. The overwhelming majority of the MU* community doesn’t put up with this shit, and neither should you.

Dealing with trolls the MU* Haven way:

Is that koi as in “ran Haunted Memories with their husband Loki” koi?

lol

[Roz]

This makes me sad because I have a friend who goes by Koi and she’s a goddamn sweetheart.

[junipersky]

I joined this place to popcorn but don’t see any of this. Clearly I haven’t passed the vibe check.

[Polk]

@junipersky It’s generally a peaceful, quiet little server.

It’s just the last week or so it’s gotten one or two trolls.

[Selira]

yeah that looks so much like our resident recurring troll on these boards, even including using 4chan memes for icon and name. ban on sight and move on needs to be order of the day with these.

[sixregrets]

spoken with EDI privately and the latest iteration of the troll has been removed.

[hellfrog]

did thenomain yup all that transphobia?

server of oof

[Pavel]

@hellfrog From what I can see (being on the server itself), it was more a ‘yup’ of resignation than agreement. This had just come less than an hour after an argument with someone who has subsequently deleted their messages.

[Polk]

@hellfrog “There it is” meant “Now we know you’re just trying to pick a fight” not “I agree”
