Rebro was a good mod, the people here are very tribalist and feel that because he dislikes the site, they must band together to combat him.

He has like a hundred followers on Twitter, if you’re mad at him, log off.

Accurate, considering all his posts have been deleted, the admins have further doxxed him, and he hasn’t logged on since

Embarrassing for this site

we would have been completely fine if he wasn’t comfortable with this information being shared.

This doesn’t mean anything because you made the choice to do it regardless. It should have been obvious that doing so to any user of this site is a horrible example, especially for building faith in a site that prides itself on privacy and protecting its users. Now the precedent is for any wild accusation fabricated by a cumtown poster, that user will have every bit of identifying information collected into an album and put on display pinned on the site.

That’s not how coercion works, it’s implied pressure. He wrote several comments about how he was made to gave up control of the website, TC wrote about how he had been removed from everything.

Transparency might be the thing you’re going for, but you’ve endangered the person you’re all pretending to support now and are unapologetic and unable to recognize how badly this was handled.

Veganism isn’t just personal consumer choices, it’s changing those choices to further affect public perception and thus policy. No policy on the matter can or will be changed until people agree that our meat industry needs to go.

He actually does suggest it in his last episode on Pandemics, but immediately writes it off as “draconian”. Wish he’d stop being a pussy on this and just stand firm that people need to stop eating meat, our government needs to stop subsidizing them, and factory farming needs to be made illegal. For national healthcare reasons, workers rights reasons, environmental reasons, and animal ethics reasons.

Again with the reform-minded liberalism out of LWT.

The only reform that fixes factory farming for the workers and the animals is abolition of the practice.

What choice really does Beatnik have to consent to it or not when the entire admin team is calling him a suspected rapist.

This is the entire implication of forcing him to give control of the site over, forcing him to step down from every mod position, stickying his accusations, and participating in the threads where people mock him and call him a variety of terms from rapist to groomer.

For leftists you don’t seem to have the concept of coercion, Beatnik was not in a position to ask for the info not to be publicized because it would have been “not cooperating with the investigation” as if you’re all cops. It was on you to handle this better and not put him at further risk, as the acting admins of the site. Instead, you stickied all of the identifying information someone might need to target and harm him.

Vegans also care about giving undocumented people better opportunities and work conditions than the literal plantation conditions of a slaughterhouse.

These people are given no choice but to work here or starve, and can’t report abuses because of threat of deportation. John gives the example of a worker who had both hands crushed being forced to sign a contract waiving all liability with a pen in between his teeth.

The respiratory issues that arise from working in a slaughterhouse mean most of them have gotten sick from breathing in the concentrated fumes.

Switching demand from meat to plant agriculture means jobs with better working conditions for these people. Fighting for path to citizenship is a part of that.

Nonsense argument. The info was buried and the only people that would have found it would be the ones who cared to put in the effort to troll through pages of Reddit comments and posts.

Making it centralized and publicized is a bad thing. “The info existed!” is no excuse for further doxxing someone. What choice really does Beatnik have to consent to it or not when the entire admin team is calling him a suspected rapist.

Think before you act, this was not a good example. Now every potential wrecker or worse has collected access to all the info needed to find him.

I mean at least in the last episode he actually SAID “stop eating meat” but this time there’s no mention of it

At the beginning is the only time he makes the point that eating meat means you’ve created the demand for this system, but then drops it

You pinned all the info and albums of his comments doxxing him. Further spreading that information to anyone who visits the site.

Embarrassing behavior, especially if you think this was the right way to handle it and he is now safer for it.
