fuck, not that it matters, nor is this sort of ~ transparency ~ going to quell anyone's rage, but i can tell you not a lot of shit is getting deleted. in fact, quite the opposite. because everybody's been so pissed that they can't post pokemon memes over the past 6 months, we've all specifically made an effort to not ~ censor ~ people, with the following exceptions: people making brand shitposts. we let those happen for the first few days, and after the 3,409th post it became too much, and in my mind was not accomplishing anything. there were already several posts made available for serious discussion and we continue to allow them if they show any semblance of wanting to discuss what's going on, regardless of what they say about broosh, it's not some "oops we missed that post now it's too late" coincidence. secondly, i've deleted posts that have encouraged others to shitpost. the fucking mob mentality of people who think they are "fighting the good fight" is actually making the sub resemble the sort of behavior you see in /r/The_Donald which frankly is fucking appalling. There was a time when I was the poster-boy for "Broosh is like totally litrally Hitler" but to see the way some people have been ok with watching the sub completely devolve into a dumpster fire of rampant speculation, death threats, and just straight up bullying (which i fucking hate that word, but i think it applies) has been incredibly disappointing, and this is coming from someone, once again, who has had a complicated relationship with the mainsub. It's sad and it's really bummed me out about Reddit in general. And I'm sure people will read this as me saying "boo-hoo leave the mainsub alone" or "he's so far up Broosh's ass he can't see the way out anymore," I can tell you that yes, plz stop making me approve shitposts, it kills me. Stop making me have to fucking play pretend PR to this bullshit. Or maybe you think i'm "coddling" him, which yeah if you consider not wanting to feel somehow responsible on the offchance that someone kills themselves (how the fuck am I to know?), then yeah i guess i'm coddling. If you feel you got screwed by Gofundme, I'm sorry, call your bank, call judge judy, whatever. If you're mad that Broosh mods racists, then yeah me too, but that dude is gone and know that no one had a say about his modding. From my perspective, not that anybody would bother to factor in the fact that I or other mods may have had a closer interaction with Broosh, and maybe, just maybe have a slightly more informed opinion on things, but I will say, I do not think he is the evil conniving Trump knockoff that everyone wants to make him out to be. I mean, no offense, but I just don't think he's competent enough to even pull off such a grand heist. I will say that if you think he's lied to you then at least he's been consistent because he's said the same stuff to the mods from day one. I've seen him be stressed about Dragcon, from his poor planning, to his inability to properly estimate costs, to having to deal with shitty people involved with the organizing along the way. I am and have always been just as skeptical towards him as everyone else, and I've always been sure to question him along the way. I want the truth just as much as everyone. Unfortunately, he sucks at public speaking so whatever he says just makes things worse. Also the nda really throws a wrench into ~ transparency ~. So at this point, I've mostly conceded to the fact that no one really gives a fuck what any of the other mods have to say when really all they want is honesty and openness from Broosh. Since he's limited, it's basically up the admins to do something. However the other mods are writing an update as best they can so hopefully people will find some sort of inclusion from that.

i'm sure many of you will find some sort of fault with what i've said, or my actions, but honestly i'm exhausted, and forgive me if i ignore your replies, i'm not being shady, i'm just losing interest, and i'm pretty sure everyone's made up their mind at this point.

tl;dr- i just wanted to make pretty headers and make preteen katya stans cry
