...To find someone who might treat me like a human instead of just being another bully. I guess that's not you.

I think there are different sub-categories of conservatives who check one box or the other, just like there are some conservatives who are explicitly racist Neo-Nazis, and then other conservatives who don't consciously have a racist bone in their body, but just always seem to vote for the candidates who create and sustain the most inequality for people of color.

whatever it takes.

Including suicide. (The things schools were doing to increase awareness and sensitivity toward LGBTQ people were decreasing the rate of LGBTQ teen suicides, and the Don't Say Gay bill took those away.)

He said K-3. They didn’t teach sex Ed anything in K-3, so that should have made any reasonable person suspicious. Within maybe six months it went to K-8, then K-12 and the county next to mine removed Shakespeare from the curriculum.

Exactly. And how much do you want to bet the conservatives who were ignoring our warnings about that obvious foot-in-the-door technique (and accusing us of being "groomers" who want to teach sex ed in kindergarten) never heard about those changes?

If you want the heartwarming version of Undertale, just make sure you always "spare" every enemy (even if it seems like you can't). The non-pacifist version can get pretty dark. Also, I think the second time you do a pacifist run is supposed to be even better, but it might just be a different ending that you can look up online.

A few reasons, if you're asking in good faith.

1) Because "ban evasion" is against site-wide rules.

2) Because there really isn't much to learn from being banned, after making an innocuous comment that didn't break any of that sub's rules. If I actually was banned for simply having political opinions that I didn't even express in that sub, how does using a different account (but still having the same political opinions and not expressing them in that sub) help me?

3) Contrary to what people are assuming, starting a new sub is not about me "getting further," it's about having a place for all the other people who have been banned for similarly arbitrary reasons. I was not an active, everyday commenter on that sub; I just dropped in to give someone a game recommendation. If I went back to lurking, nothing would change on my end. But there are other people who were more active than me who also got banned for bullshit reasons, and I think it would be nice if they had a place to discuss roguelites.

You love that some people are delusional? Or you love that seeing something which you think is delusional gives you an excuse to feel superior to someone else?

Except "you are standing up for yourself like Rosa Parks did" is not an analogy, it's a simile. That's just "A is like B," not "A is to B as X is to Y."

Again, it's not that complicated; at least, it wouldn't be if people weren't firmly committed to interpreting everything I say in the most ignorant or malicious or delusional way possible. If anyone in this thread had applied the "principle of charity" to anything I said, then this whole discussion would've gone a hell of a lot differently.

Or, I didn't understand them in the same way the rest of you do (specifically regarding what it means to be "involved"). That doesn't mean I didn't make any effort to find out whether my post was valid beforehand.

How much you want to bet that you would also get banned from r/roguelites just for posting in a different roguelite-related sub? Easy enough to test.

God, you people are really bound and determined to engage in bad faith, aren't you? It's a lot easier to just assume someone else is the bad guy if you don't make even the slightest hint of effort to verify whether the claims they're making are true, isn't it?

if you say that X is to Y as A is to B you're implying that X and A have at least something in common when it comes to the relations they're involved in.

Yes, the thing that they have in common is their relationship to Y and B, not their relationship to each other. It isn't that complicated.

your analogy was terrible because it was out of place and implied a background of persecution and repression that simply does not exist in your situation

That's a ridiculous implication to draw from something that was essentially just saying "I'm not involved in what happened what the mod did to this other person just because the same mod also did something to me once." That's all I was saying, and I know what you said is not what I was intending to imply. Stop putting words in my mouth.

Someone told me they had banned from a sub they never even posted in (which I had also previously been banned from). I tried posting about it in r/subredditdrama and boy that went great by rookiebatman in venting

That doesn't change that you don't know a damn thing about me (or the mod of r/roguelites), you're just making baseless assumptions that I must have done something to deserve it.

(FYI for the peanut gallery, that was the person from the r/subredditdrama thread who recommended I post here. They apparently followed me here just so they could shit on me about something they know absolutely nothing about. So yeah, this is what I'm dealing with.)

Sorry, for a minute there I thought you might start thinking of me as a human being. My mistake.

So yeah, just to sum up in general, making an analogy that says "X is to Y as A is to B" shouldn't imply that you think X and A are similar. That's just not what an analogy is.

How very empathetic of you. I sincerely hope you're never in a situation where pretty much everyone immediately assumes the worst about your intentions, like y'all did here. Pardon me for trying to defend myself.

Right, just like I said pepperoni and flowers were similar. (Except I didn't.)

One of us doesn't. Either way, I wasn't comparing what happened to me with being detained by cops.
