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.。SERVER RULES。  ==> Arguing is futile: what the mods say goes. If approached by a moderator, behave respectfully. We will be especially strictly enforcing behavior as we open the server.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." ive talked about it before but neoconservative / neopuritan reactionary ideology has infested fandom spaces and minors within fandom spaces are ESPECIALLY susceptible to this - the fact that i am an out and avid trans woman who draws adult content for a living makes me a PRIME target for becoming an Acceptable Target because it's incredibly easy for social media telephone games to corrupt facts about me into full on falsehoods in the name of dehumanizing an opponent to justify her harassment. the only Crime i have committed is being a Transgender Woman who Draws Porn. thats it.  crossed out text is as follows: the moderators for the official homestuck discord are all (thank god) explicitly on my side and have been in the fuckin trenches defending me in there which is so nice. it's so nice having a homestuck space i can actually Exist In and discuss my love for a property that is so fundamental for who i am with other people who enjoy it.  EDIT: ignore the above block - immediately after posting this i was asked to leave the server by a moderator because they cannot handle defending me anymore and would rather kotow to an active harassment campaign than support a trans woman on the internet 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. ==> Disagreements are fine, but try to keep discussions civil. Take drama, gossip, arguments, and discourse elsewhere. No threats, and don’t play chicken with the rules. No harassing or targeting other server members. 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.

Kanya hears "ERROR LOGGED OUT" & looks at Rose who just SAYS "NO 'FORGOT PASSWORD' OPTION" while frowning.
