I reported that, but no action was taken.
Calling for ethnic cleansing of Kurds at the hands of Islamic fascists should be against the rules… right?

Funny how multitotal didn’t actually link the thread directly, just quoted one comment without context. Almost like they’re trying to start drama or do wrecker shit by trying to turn the community against the mods.
“Link to what you’re criticizing” should be a rule for posts like this.
I get that people get hot about this one, and its not necessarily a bad thing to make a people’s court post about stuff like this. We always gotta be open to criticism.
I’m fine with people bringing up a discussion they think is unacceptable, but to do so without posting links to it is just pointless drama, or deliberate wrecker behaviour.
I didn’t want it to seem like I’m asking for people to go and jump on the discussion.
It’s interesting though that people are all like “context?” in response to this, but if someone had written “I hope China gets wiped off the map”, they’d be instantly banned for “imperialism” (rightfully so) and nobody would pause for two seconds to ask for context. Same thing with any of the other n things where the mere implication of a thought rather than anything written is worthy of a permanent ban.
But when someone says, in no uncertain terms, they wish Turkey and its militias ethnically cleanse the Kurds from northern Syria the response is “hm… what is the context of that statement?” LMAO
Just to be clear, genocide and similar crimes are never acceptable in any context.
The context that I was asking for is the context in which the words in the thread title/description were stated. This was not to make assumptions about the context in which advocating for genocide is okay. It was to avoid making incorrect assumptions and accepting your interpretation without evidence. It was not too see whether the context might suggest that genocide was acceptable. It was to determine whether anyone had advocated for the genocide of Kurds.
That’s fair. But let’s entertain a hypothetical…
If someone had posted “China should be wiped off the map” or “Russia should be wiped off the map”. Do you think we’d be having this discussion regarding motives and context?
Maybe I didn’t link it publicly so it wouldn’t seem like I am trying to start drama with the person. I didn’t ask for the person to get banned or their comment deleted, just asked about that rule going forward.
