Not saying any moderators here did anything wrong necessarily, but I have some concerns about the current Official Homestuck Discord moderation that I'm nervous to bring up in the discord itself, especially because of this particular rule.Having said why I'm posting this here instead of in the official discord server itself, the situation is allegedly as follows: Trans woman artist gets harassed in the discord and allegedly asked to leave the server by "a moderator" because "they cannot handle defending her anymore."
I ask you my fellow forum members, regardless of the circumstances, if you saw someone getting massively harassed in your server, what would you do? If you'd not be willing to defend said person due to the volume of harassment, surely you'd ban/time out those people harassing said person? I just find it concerning that a trans woman gets harassed and a mod (who has yet to be named and again I'm not saying anyone here did this) just basically says "hey, we aren't gonna defend you anymore because we're tired." I personally would never let someone who said that to a trans woman moderate in my server if I was an admin or that would at least be a verbal warning to the mod and a "go ban those harassers" moment from me. I do not know if higher up admins are aware this has occurred as of posting this, but I felt it concerning and worth bringing up or else more trans women will continue to get harassed just because a mod doesn't feel like doing their job by enforcing the server rules.
Also, no, I don't care to hear about how annoying any of you think any particular trans woman is, this sets a concerning precedent regardless of the woman who you think this is about. You should care no matter who the marginalized person is.
