"Mumsnet statement on moderation with regard to..."

Here's the dog btw, because why not?. He’s awesome!

Donkey Kong - I’ve googled and mostly got it right. Here’s a ‘totally unbiased’ BBC news article.

I've kind of lost track about what snow is accusing us of doing now tbh. Too distracted by cute howling dogs and trying to puzzle out how you'd spite someone by playing old school games at them.

The woke man and his friends did it specifically because of Glinner supporting calls for the £500k National Lottery grant to Mermaids to be investigated/rescinded.

But yeah, it's feminists who taunt people with donkey comments.

🙄

I think it's because some man in America played donkey Kong, or something similar, in a 24 hour marathon, and gave all the sponsorship money to mermaids. And Glinner was outraged. So they taunted him with donkey comments.

Because the marathon Donkey Kong game raised lots of donations to Mermaids. We're probably not supposed to critique Mermaids, though, or the basement dwelling gamers playing Donkey Kong in their PJs that support them. Transphobic and abusive, innit?

I'm confused. How would a bunch of people playing Donkey Kong spite Glinner? Does he just really hate gaming?

Ummm the donkey thing was a TRA thing cos the only trans related donkey I remember is the Donkey Kong marathon to spite Glinner.

Do I win?

I identified as a golden retriever when I was about five, if that helps?

(Btw I'm a FWR regular with a namechange based on the fact Glinner retweeted one of my tweets.)

Here's the dog btw, because why not?

Also, if I were to say "I identify as a cat" in what way would that mean that I was saying trans people were cats?

Careful, Kittens. snow might think you're being transphobic.

Well, there's no 'might' there, obviously.

Furthermore, many of our children identified as pets. And we know it wasn't real.

I've never seen anyone talk about identifying as a pig, pets maybe, farm animals, not so much.

And it's a legitimate comment because you cannot explain why one cannot identify is anything one likes.

Totally OT but I just recently found the YT channel of a bloke whose Malamute wanders around howling at every person he meets because he just really likes people. It's officially the most wholesome thing on YT, and now the comment about the thread of oddness has reminded me.

The dog makes more sense than some comments here do tbh. He's certainly friendlier.

Today's challenge is! Find an example of a case where someone on FWR called a trans person a donkey.

Possibly not a donkey but there was a thread a while ago making sniggering comments about identifying as 'pigs' or 'dogs'. It's been deleted of course so you'll probably say it never happened.

I remember there was a long thread that ended up discussing animals (sheep?) “baying at the moon” but it was definitely baying and not braying.

The fact that the overwhelming majority of posts that are still deleted are removed because they are abusive.

Long term feminist users on this forum have asked that either posts are not deleted, or a reason is given for deletion for exactly this reason - deleted posts are weaponised and assumed to be transphobic.

Honestly.

Here is a transwoman who uses mens' toilets. Here is a transwoman who uses women's toilets.

The transwoman shouldn't use women's toilets!

You're cherry picking your stories!!

Ahhh ProdigalKittens I think you’ve answered my ‘why don’t you go bother Piston Heads’ question to Snow and co.... it’s cos it’s only women who need monitoring and shushing. 💡

Today's challenge is! Find an example of a case where someone on FWR called a trans person a donkey.

We'll wait.

But you just can't help yourselves veering towards the former frequently on this site. The cherry-picking of negative stories,

How can you cherry pick negative stories!

Such dingbattery.

It's the very negativity of those stories that demonstrate the mechanisms we're advocating against.

Strewth.

Any chance you could answer my polite question, snow?

Is pointing out that biologically male people are male in order to discuss these legitimate concerns "deliberately being abusive and offensive for the sake of it"?

I mean, is stamp collecting not a thing any more? Toy trains? Surely there must be something that doesn't hinge on following women around shouting at them about how they haven't worded their sentence precisely as you'd like.

Though I wish there weren't so many people who'd chosen "control the words women use to a degree that comes across as downright obsessive" as theirs.

Indeed.
