@MNHQ Its been running rampant on the AIBU and Coronavirus boards on here for months and is now starting to leak into Chat too.

Its getting ridiculous. There needs to be a zero tolerance with this as there is with racism. I got banned for a week last month for losing a rag and name calling but this was after months of this discrimination on here.

It needs to be treated in the same way racism is. Which is just as abhorrent But it isnt.

Totally support you Helena. Some people seem to think that if you can't wear a mask you should stay at home.

I agree Helena. Some of the posts on that thread in particular are disgusting

Where was this? I've only seen support for mask exemption.
