Hello! I’m a POC (black/latino) autistic/ADHD dragon from Brazil. I use he/they/it pronouns, and my interests are usually gaming and drawing. Reddit refugee after getting banned multiple times for “threatening violence” for standing up against fascism.

  • Yep. And unlike most toothless consumer protection agencies in the US, Procon does not fuck around. They’ll even straight up force gaming companies to unban someone from a game if the person felt the ban was unfair, and force them to not only return their entire progress, but all of their items and pay them a sum for the damages. Add that to the fact suing in Brazil is completely different than in the US: everyone is assigned a lawyer for absolutely free during the entire process, and customers win cases against big companies all the time without ever having to spend a single cent.

    See, this is a problem we commonly see as “tone policing”. You can’t really tell victims of actually cruel people to not dislike their oppressors. You’re showing more of a concern with decorum and being respectable than the fact the people are being oppressed.

    I think that only applies to whole groups of people who can’t choose who they are. Some palestinian wishing Netanyahu died is a whole different thing from that same palestinian wanting every Israeli to die. And this can apply to any minority. To me, directing rage to the person directly responsible for someone’s oppression is a completely different beast from directing that rage to an entire group of people who just happens to share one trait with said oppressor.

    Besides, I’m not one to wish death on anyone, but if they die as a consequence of their deliberately cruel actions I’m not gonna care.

    I mean I think there’s a difference between wanting someone to die because that person is an actual cruel asshole who attacks vulnerable minorities and thinking someone who just wants to live deserves to die because of a slight against you.

    A wolf attacking sheep just wants to live, some politician attacking vulnerable minorities because they wanna hide something is a completely different thing. If I hear news about a Nazi dying trying to attack a minority and getting jumped/shot for it I will think “well you FAFO, that’s your own problem”.

    Damn, this actually made me stop and think for a bit.

    Even against those who are your sworn enemies, reveling on their deaths doesn’t make you anything other than a cruel asshole.

    EDIT: Unless those people are actually cruel assholes. I wouldn’t say reveling on their deaths is right, but some obituaries SHOULD be read with great pleasure. Nobody should be called out for celebrating the death of a dictator.
