Summercat homophophic FA admin

by
http://forums.furaffinity.net/threads/124787-Drugs-and...

This bitch got me permabanned from FA forums for daring to ask why FA is banning the mention of drug use and why dragoneer went back on his word that sonic and human ages would be applied to anthro characters.  That deserves a permaban I guess.  Yet, she goes a step further and says that people calling others fags as a derogatory term is acceptable by some Japanese meaning of the word?  wut?  This is entirely offensive.

She needs to be banned and removed from any position of power from any board.  She is an ass.  

So for all you people who care something about this, demand her removal when FA finally comes up.  Write dragoneer and call him a homophobe if he doesnt.

so who is outraged about this????

Hopeless, as if FA didn't have enough technical problems to worry about, without adding shoddy administration...

no no no....this is a chance to stand up against homophobia....tell dragoneer we will not accept people excusing calling people fags on his forums

It's sad beyond words that Dragoneer allows it and needs to be told.  x_x

he won't do anything about it, he's one of those people you might see in a back alley handing out candy to get children to follow him

Dragoneer is a shitty admin. I'll outright say that.

Remember the 2008 note leak? When Zaush/Adam Wan allegedly raped someone? And that person complained to 'Neer? And he told her to be quiet about it? Because he's a huge contributor to the site financially, and didn't want to press charges?

It's getting more interesting....the admin who permabanned me, also excused any use of the word fag...saying its acceptable.....they just keep digging a hole deeper for themselves

Also, she's right. It's used all the time on 4chan.

The banning may not have been just, but her explanation is exactly how its used elsewhere.

-jin isn't slang, which is the implied meaning. That suffix has actual meaning as a different reading of the Kanji for person, "nin" ( 人 ). "***" is slang, and designed to be offensive and derogatory right out of the gate.

If you want more info: http://japanese.about.com/library/blkod41.htm "nin" is a grade 1 kanji.
Danjen

I meant the way they (4chan) append -fag to anything judiciously. Sure, it may have started out that "fag" was used offensively, but over time, the culture of the place just accepted it and rolled with it. So you get things like "summerfag" or "newfag" or "furfag". Most times it's used casually and ironically. Of course, once it caught on, it spilled out onto other sites like ED, FA, Reddit, FB, etc.
GallowsGryph
11 years, 6 months ago
I'd argue with using ED, 4chan and Reddit as legitimate reasons for it, but I'm biased against them due to how they and their users have treated me in the past.

Still, the same can be said for the "n" word with how many people use it, but it really doesn't take away the stigma for a lot of people who were and are affected by it.  Even using "fag" as a suffix really doesn't change it's meaning (disclaimer: writer who studies etymology in hir spare time, not a professional).  It just tries to water down the meaning by attaching another word to it.

For the record, "-nin" and "-jin" aren't suffixes in the same way as what Summercat was explaining. (disclaimer: I study Japanese in my spare time as well) Due to how the Japanese language is, "-nin" and "-jin" are required in most cases as a part of what would be a single word in English, such as "criminal" (han-nin) or Person "from" Japan (nihon-jin). Unlike a suffix, they actually form part of a subject, object, adjective, or descriptor.  In the example Summercat gave, "nekojin" means "cat people", but 4chan would call them "nekofags" as they always have. Don't... ask how I know this. PAinful memories.
Danjen

Honestly, the point of 4chan is to be anonymous. That means you can use it as a shield and deflect any sort of hateful words or criticism. It allows you to separate ego from your posts, so by that same token, you're dealing with a faceless mob. Why would you let the words of a faceless mob hurt you?
GallowsGryph
11 years, 6 months ago
In this case, it wasn't so much words as it was a complete and utter defacing of my old YouTube channel (in the case of 4Chan and, at the time, a YouTube channel called Retsupurey).  I was attacked for wearing neko ears and paw warmers in a few of my random videos, for being a furry, and a few other things.  Took me two months of work to clean up my channel.

Actually, Reddit also managed to drag me through the mud for a blog post I made about an HP system and UEFI giving me hell, going so far as to allowing my private information to be posted and THEN defending the poster.
Danjen

Ah, so an actual raid. That can be rough. Happens, unfortunately.
Yiffox
11 years, 6 months ago
you are missing the point that an admin basically said its acceptable.  doesnt matter the context, admins should not be voicing that
GallowsGryph
11 years, 6 months ago
Umm... hon... calm down a bit. I was talking about a completely different incident.  I agree with you, and I've been complaining about it as well.
Yiffox
11 years, 6 months ago
no sorry they are wrong, fag should NEVER EVER be tolerated by any group period.  For an admin to condone this simply means they are not fit to be an admin, and Summercat needs to step down
Danjen
11 years, 6 months ago
Well, I mean you could try being less offended by it. I've had plenty of people call me a fag and I didn't give one fuck.

Speaking as Summercat's ex, I can tell you two things:  *HE* is not racist, and not homophobic.

As for the rest of it?  I can't comment, as I didn't witness it.
Yiffox

they perma-banned me for questioning policy immediately....this is no site deserving of donations. which can not even answer questions
fluffdance
11 years, 6 months ago
<nods>  FA's administration policy is something I've openly challenged for years, now, and I don't see it getting better any time soon.  I posted a journal on the subject a few hours prior to the latest outage; effectively, the FA admins' recurring behavior portrays them as anti-furry trolls, rather than moderators and administrators working for the benefit of the community and fandom.
GallowsGryph

Summercat has been EXTREMELY on edge since the whole disaster started. He said he was stepping back, but he's been trigger-happy even after supposedly cooling down. And for the record, cobra's perma-ban was indeed pretty much instantaneous.
Yiffox

does not matter.  to condone calling people fags means he is making FA liable for antidiscriscrimiation lawsuits

What's "private membership" about FA?  Anyone can join for free.. and I had no problem reading that post without any form of membership.
fluffdance
11 years, 6 months ago
FA is not a for-profit business, nor is it a registered Non-Profit/Charity organization.  There is no requirement to pay to be there, nor does its activity or content fall under employment, benefit, service or sales laws in regards to discrimination policies, ergo it is a private membership organization.

hate speech laws apply in several jurisdictions to people on the street, they apply to FA as well

It could all be so simple. If somebody is offended by being called X, the person having done that would just say I'm sorry, and that's that. No harm done.

Whatever happened to the good old 3 rule system?

1. Use common sense.
2. Don't be easily offended.
3. Don't offend easily.

This doesn't need policing, just communication. And just because it's alright to call me nigger in harlem, it's not okay to do it elsewhere. I meant fag in 4chan. Whatever. People need hugs. More hugs.
Kusaragi

It's hard to have open communication, when you can't post your thoughts or concerns in an open and non-hostile location. With Cobra's perma-ban a sit-down to cool nerves isn't really viable. And with how Summercat reacted to the first post, a resolution seems far off.
GallowsGryph
11 years, 6 months ago
It'll never come to that. Even if it did, you could expect fierce resistance and threats from the likes of 4chan and reddit.

Good luck with that  because just like the teachers here in California, no one can do jack shit to them. If FA is what I think it is then they will turn a blind eye and go "lalalalalala Oh how wonderful this forum is we are so awesome lalalalalala."

Summercat has always been a shitty admin, probably the worst on FA. I'm surprised he hasn't been stripped of his admin powers.
Teddy

You know what other word is watered down by over usage?  Nigger. I mean, it's so watered down it's used on television. I'd still dare that bitch to go up to some African American person and call them a nigger.. she's end up in emergency or worse.  I'd post telling her so, but I don't have an FA account because I don't give a crap what those asshats do over there.

Permabanned?! Don't know if he's lying but he says it's only a day off here: http://forums.furaffinity.net/threads/124791-Since-I-g...

I agree with you that he needs to be at least removed from any position of power. He has always white-knighted for Dragoneer.

That Sonic porn ban is most likely Sciggles' idea(see her IB page and notice the profile), she's Dragoneer's fiance so she can easily manipulate him.

Here's some links that will explain the situation and why FA is sinking ship.

Summer is a she.. Spoke with her once at a con.  Claims to be the Neer's mate.. so I don't think he'd remove her from power.

See here's the problem ( and let me start off by saying this does not apply to all furs and that a lot of this has to do with psychology) when people who don't really matter in real life, that means they are not of high social status, there job is unimportant, low self esteem, or who have no real way of making themselves more important or valuable, they have to supplement this feeling of inadequacy with something or some position. And a good number of furs ( well a good number of the ones ive run into recently) are not important and fill the void by coming to communities like this to help themselves gain more status or self esteem.In some ways its positive. but its also negative. Its blatantly apparent with artist like Jay Naylor, his art style to me is great but his ego is bigger than the globe. Just look at his prices. (He thinks he is the most amazing person in this universe, that his ideals on sexism and conservatism are the only viewpoints in the world, anyone who disagrees or gives him constructive criticism is immediately blocked and trolled because they cant defend themselves anymore, and he generally is an ass) but another example is the people who admin fur affinity. i dont know them personally and i don't open my mouth at all on that site, but it sounds like these people once started out with a noble cause but absolute power corrupts absolutely. they saw that they had power and importance that they didnt have in real life. And they became almost like dictators in a sense. There rule is law on the internet and they feel powerful

also i found it quite entertaining what a fellow fur said one time. He goes " that's the bad thing about furry artist and admins, they find themselves high and mighty on the internet but if shit hit the fan tomorrow and there was no internet tomorrow they wouldn't mean shit or be valuable. If we had the apocalypse tomorrow and became roving bands of raiders it would be fucking awesome! :D but lets say we stumble upon a situation. We send out Bob and Ted for a hunting/scavenging party. They are riding in a 3 person vehicle and come across 3 people. One is Jay Naylor, one is dragoneer, and one is the lowest payed engineer at an architectural company. There gonna ask hey do u have any useful skills dragonner is gonna say I AM A MOD GOD!!!!!!! *gunshot* next jay naylor is going to say Im the greatest furry artist of all time. Bobs gonna go really? Never heard of u.*click* I can draw furry smut. Teds says is it good?? he shows them previous work. Teds excited but Bob ask does it have a good story and believable? no......... *gunshot* move on to the last guy what can you do?? i can design buildings and over see construction. Bob and Ted both say Get in the truck

I think someone with allot of money and really likes the furry community and is tired of hearing all the crap that is happening on FA should buy FA and get rid of the dipshits running it. But that's just what I think... wish I had enough money to buy FA and such... wonder how much it would cost to do so.
