You know, the ones that aren’t trolls, but still wind up banned for being awful to be around
-7DeadlyFetishes
The most deadly fetish of all, posting cringe
they went from a bit poster, to being a “patriot socialist”, to being a sexist, to defending american war crimes in vietnam, to defending nazi death camp guards
edit: forgot that they later got banned from a discord server for arguing that transphobia is okay
The guy who posted Shrek content. Loved it.
The saga of Dave is probably one of the funniest things ever posted on this site.
“many of us have social anxiety”
“okay orgs have other jobs they need done”
“no still ableist”
similar type of guy: claimed book clubs were ableist and then tantrumed when someone recorded an audio book for people
lukewarm take: it’s ableist to claim ND people can’t read, organize, or affect change
My favorite type of weird guy is the dude who makes increasingly strange demands of mods, things like “what are we even doing if we don’t have a c/Zoroastrianism moderated by actual zoroastrain monks? DOES THIS SITE NOT CARE ABOUT THE POOR?? AM I THE ONLY ONE HERE WHO GIVES THREE SHITS ABOUT ZARATHUSTRA”
“what are we even doing if we don’t have a c/longingforcamels moderated by actual sentient camels? DOES THIS SITE NOT CARE ABOUT THE POOR?? AM I THE ONLY ONE HERE WHO GIVES THREE SHITS ABOUT PACADERMS”
was just going with the funniest option here:
In Avestan, Zaraθuštra is generally accepted to derive from an Old Iranian *Zaratuštra-; The element half of the name (-uštra-) is thought to be the Indo-Iranian root for “camel”, with the entire name meaning “he who can manage camels”.[14][a] Reconstructions from later Iranian languages—particularly from the Middle Persian (300 BC) Zardusht,[further explanation needed] which is the form that the name took in the 9th- to 12th-century Zoroastrian texts—suggest that *Zaratuštra- might be a zero-grade form of *Zarantuštra-.[14] Subject then to whether Zaraθuštra derives from *Zarantuštra- or from *Zaratuštra-, several interpretations have been proposed.[b]
If Zarantuštra is the original form, it may mean “with old/aging camels”,[14] related to Avestic zarant-[13] (cf. Pashto zōṛ and Ossetian zœrond, “old”; Middle Persian zāl, “old”):[15]
- “with angry/furious camels”: from Avestan *zarant-, “angry, furious”.[16]
- “who is driving camels” or “who is fostering/cherishing camels”: related to Avestan zarš-, “to drag”.[17]
- Mayrhofer (1977) proposed an etymology of “who is desiring camels” or “longing for camels” and related to Vedic Sanskrit har-, “to like”, and perhaps (though ambiguous) also to Avestan zara-.[16]
- “with yellow camels”: parallel to Younger Avestan zairi-.[18]
The interpretation of the -θ- (/θ/) in Avestan zaraθuštra was for a time itself subjected to heated debate because the -θ- is an irregular development: As a rule, *zarat- (a first element that ends in a dental consonant) should have Avestan zarat- or zarat̰- as a development from it. Why this is not so for zaraθuštra has not yet been determined. Notwithstanding the phonetic irregularity, that Avestan zaraθuštra with its -θ- was linguistically an actual form is shown by later attestations reflecting the same basis.[14] All present-day, Iranian-language variants of his name derive from the Middle Iranian variants of Zarθošt, which, in turn, all reflect Avestan’s fricative -θ-.[citation needed]
