That's how I feel. Especially since the original post couldn't be bothered to even at least have a content warning, AND the fact that staff personally emailed them and basically said "seems like a you problem."

But that's sort of part of the issue with any site like this; ultimately we don't collectively make decisions, the staff do. And no person is perfect, so we were eventually going to run into an issue like this. And hey, that's how most websites work, right? But usually they hide it behind layers and layers of corporate bull. Here there's only a handful of staff, so it's crystal clear who's making the decisions.

Not downplaying how awful the decision was. There is really no excuse here. I hope staff can at least have some self-reflection to realize the obvious issue. And at most, I hope there is a new method of moderation because whatever they're doing now is embarrassingly biased and will lead to more controversies in the future.
