I'm going to bow out of this thread. Suffice it to say, I'm sorry that no one was around to save you when the Qud guy touched you Non-Edgy Gamer. The things you went through are horrific and not right. I hope some day you're able to find the healing and peace you deserve. #IstandwithNEG

Creating a new dedicated thread for your discussion topic, with a title announcing QUD DEV IS A PEDOPHILE, is not censorship!

You're very brave for protecting pedophiles. The movement will remember your service. :salute:
He even misstated the thread title.

"Part time contractor" - yeah, gotta be real specific even when we're hiding the thread behind a password and a year's access on the ass end of the site.

"Oh no, my free speech is being stifled because nothing I wrote was deleted and all the replies to it are still maintained and people can still read it and reply to it."

You're insanely retarded.
I give zero fucks about QuD or whether codex has free speech in general, but this is absolutely an instance of censorship, just as it would be if a copy of a book were 'moved' from a public library to a secure facility where only doctors and lawyers could read it. Are you going to argue China doesn't suppress free speech because some goverment official somewhere can read the real report on Tieneman Square?

There is a significantly lower barrier to reading that thread.

Gaming drama belongs in the gaming drama subforum, simple.

I also don't really care about the topic to any great degree. Leftists being pervs is just normal. But Infinitron as usual portraying his petty need to control everything as not a big deal and not what it is is absurd. I've been around here long enough to remember before the mods commonly moved whatever posts they didn't like out of threads for their control freak needs, so I know it doesn't have to be this way, and doesn't in anyway improve discussion or whatever. If anything, it harms it, as people get confused, and not just the people who took part in the posts that mods clearly consider "wrong" (else why would they need to be segregated?), it's a drastic alteration of the thread's context that leaves bystanders and new visitors bemused.

It's also a "problem" that absent mod retardation would solve itself. People would discuss the insanity of the devs for a while, then move on.

Especially when it involves a pedophile at one of your favorite games studios, eh?

The "Gaming Drama" forum is just a way for Infinishill to hide anything not neutral-positive from RPG Discussion.

How many DMs did you send to get him to move it btw? Or did he do it on his own?

You're just splitting hairs here. You don't need to be shot on sight by the codex assassin squad for it to be censorship. 'Updating' old books to remove NIGGER from them is censorship too, even if the old books are still around and anyone over the age of 6 can find them or the original text if so inclined. If you think the site needs censorship to avoid being a cesspool of political garbage and juicy gossip, fine, whatever. I'm not here for that shit anyways and wish people would spend more time talking about how retarded various game mechanics are. But call a spade a spade.

Not for long. Some mod will probably come here and retardo it saying it's "run its course" or similar.

Over 120k people saw the pedo dev's tweet about this, so that might turn up a couple of new users before this dies down and becomes just another topic that gets you banned from their discord or reddit. Then again, maybe they're all like Roguey or Infinitron and just want it swept under the rug.

Yeah ok maybe he's a pedo but let's not make a big deal about it.

I mean, it's not like he's a real menace to society that liked a Trump tweet once, or asked whether illegally immigrating thousands per day is a good idea. Now THAT would be a fireable offence.

It's the same with "wokeness" debates, it's just (some of) the moderation team wanting to push their own political beliefs onto others by memory holing this stuff that a lot of people are reasonably interested in.
