but I hope you can see where I’d come to that conclusion.

No, after reading your comment where you firstly accused me of antisemitism and then to save face you started digging through my comment history in a desperate attempt to find anything, I think you just wanted to pin anything on me to try to defend your Israeli propaganda manure spreading pal.

I hope you can see where I’d come to that conclusion.

This person also believes that xenogenders and probably Nonbinary people as well are hurting the trans community, they claim that we’re making a fool of “actual trans people” and that we’re “causing transphobia”. Absolutely shitty person I have no idea why the admins of her home server or this one haven’t banned her yet for being a transmedicalist ass.

Not generally but a rant post about mean trans people on lemmy bullying someone who is autistic over pronouns was doing the rounds . Specific references and wording were clearly puggling if you knew about the Drag debacle.

Funny enough, I was actually assured that both the main admins at the time of the controversy with Drag were broadly onboard with my opinion - ie that I was willing to use Drag’s pronouns, but didn’t regard that as carte blanche to force people to call dragons real.

I’m happy to admit that my personal views on neopronouns have evolved from “somewhat skeptical, but I’ll go along with it” initially to “fully on board” as I’ve learned more about the topic directly from other trans folk on Lemmy and irl. 💗

Firstly, yeah, no one was trying to force him to call dragons real, he just kept screaming that at the top of his lungs and My God he’s STILL going. He very much equated being told he had to use a person’s stated pronouns, in this case “drag”, with being “forced” to call dragons real. I’d chase up the posts but I just can’t fluffing care anymore.

He’s still butthurt about that for months afterwards. He’ll be on his deathbed smirking “heh, owned those leftists who tried to make me a better person. I sure showed them.”

Secondly, as someone that’s disabled and incontinent, this makes me so bloody depressed. Please be better than this when calling people out, it’s ableism to treat incontinence like this. There’s a reason that roughly 70% of incon folks (depending on the study) would rather have a limb amputated than continue to be incontinent.

No no you don’t understand, he has chronic pain so that justifys all his actions and words, he’s always right!! /s

When my arm was at its worst before reconstructing my shoulder twice, I often wanted to just chop it off. The amputation would have been better than the constant nerve pain that I still feel every now and again.

PugJesus probably is chronically ill. I’m not going to play the disability Olympics. He is allowed to state it and not required to share his medical history.

But man it feels like he uses it as a fallback anytime someone calls him out on anything.

He very much equated being told he had to use a person’s stated pronouns, in this case “drag”

This shit is completely irrelevant to the post here. Also if you feel this way why did you join an instance with a literal AI banner and AI taglines?

It’s true that PJ didn’t acknowledge the distinction. They may not have realized that was the source of the pushback. But regardless, I still don’t think that’s enough to say the ban was retaliatory.

PJ listed ‘sexual assault denier’ as the reason for the ban, seems pretty clear that - at the very least - this interaction was top-of-mind when he was issuing it.

I haven’t seen PJ actually claim that it was systemic but they could be implying it by seemingly trying to use that quote as a contradiction to OP saying that it’s an Israeli lie.

This is the thing I’m pointing to as a pattern with him:

• Felix says “anything that follows ‘Israel says’ is usually a lie”
• PJ jumps on it and quotes the UN finding that SA occurred (leaving out the second part of the original claim by Israel which is addressed later in the UN report that they didn’t find it ‘systemic’)
• Felix responds with the drop site article that discusses that exact claim (that the SA was systemic)
• PJ ignores the topic of the article, jumps on the specific part that mentions the Dinah Project, pulls the commonly sighted quote from it that says they found ‘patterns’ of SA (but the next sentence says they could not verify any instances due to Israeli obstruction)
• Felix then responds with the item in the article he was referring when he linked to it (that the UN does not have evidence of systemic sexual assault). Note that the quote he is pulling is referring to a statement made by a top UN official, not to the link PJ is harping on
• PJ then incorrectly attributes that statement to the article he is talking about, which is the one felix’s article is criticizing as being used by Zionists as evidence of systemic violence despite that report saying explicitly that they did not have evidence of systemic violence, only “patterns indicative of sexual violence” but of which individual instances could not be verified due to obstruction

Whether or not PJ went into that interaction knowing felix’s intent is hard to say, but it should have been clear to him by the end that there was no actual disagreement being expressed. In the end, PJ mis-represents the source material and doubles-down on his accusation of SA denial in his ban reasoning in the modlog. An interaction that should have ended in clarity instead ends in him banning the user, if not for the stated reason in the log, at-best for downvoting posts in another comm.

It’s a pattern with PJ that he dives headlong into an argument making an assumption about a user’s intent, and then when the user clarifies their position against his accusation, he doubles-down by either misrepresenting that user’s statements or by twisting source material to fit the accusation being made. By the end of that argument, all he’s doing is accusing felix of lying by mis-attributing the source material he’s using. He’s being unnecessarily hostile when, in the end, there wasn’t an actual substantive disagreement between them.

I don’t follow Lemmy politics enough to remember much of PJ’s history other than that they are a big enough contributor to be a familiar name and that they were involved in some drama with 196.

He’s a prolific poster/commenter and a mod of probably a dozen communities. I don’t care about the history comms he spends a lot of time in, but I do often see him pop up in political gossip/snark communities like ‘tankyjerk’ and ‘meanwhileongrad’. Most of his original content he posts is fine, if not good - but he often gets into it with other users on politics and does exactly this kind of rage baiting, occasionally posting it to the political snark comms if he’s worked up enough about it.

Jokes aside, it was on another level recently. I feel like i’ve seen him go through a wave of activity like this before, so I guess even this episode might not be unique for him. But I can’t imagine he has time to have been doing anything other than lemmy just based on his activity for the last 3-4 days. 170 comments (not including posts) over the last day alone, many of which are a part of deep, 20-30 comment long arguments where nothing substantial is communicated other than anger and disgust.

We usually only talk about 1 or 2 offending comments by users in this comm, but in pugjesus’s case it’s been near constant antagonism for days. Most people would have enough after a few hours but I gotta hand it to him - he’s got some serious stamina.
