    I know too much the pains of pissing in the wind and being ignored for it because people liked what the guy was saying. Like a week ago a literal open pedophile was dropping talking points and I got downvoted for shit for saying we shouldn’t be allowing pedo apologia, meanwhile everyone was agreeing with the pedo and when I looked into them their profile was full of anime shit. I was so mad I literally quit for a few days.

        It was worldnews on ml if i’m not mistaken. I don’t think that sort of thing would fly at all on grad. Wouldn’t hold it against the admins though since none were active at the time and the mods were doing their job removing rule-breaking content in the thread, but what I do hold against is the community for upvoting that kind of shit.

        I brought it up because it’s a good anecdote of times where the community believes one guy without evidence but not the other guy without evidence solely because they already agree with the other guy.
