All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXI

[GethN7]

The TVT scenario was about pleasing advertisers and an admin wanting to maintain control. Your situation with FANDOM was about not posting bigoted tangents. It does no good to conflate them like they're the exact same, and that's as far as I'm humoring this.

If you are truly unable to see the similarity, then frankly I don't know what else to say. I was a member of FANDOM (formerly Wikia) for nearly a decade, this is not the first time they threw out people and content to please advertisers or for offending whatever political winds were blowing at the time, but while I do not wish for it to happen to you, maybe the first time you are treated with absolute disregard despite years of absolute loyalty despite any objection you might have you will finally come to realize this is just like TV Tropes all over again, including declaring certain moral stances bigoted even if you make a point to table them for the good of the community and not let them affect your work, like I do on All The Tropes, where I think some of what happens there is not how I'd do it for reasons either technical or ethical, but because the community wishes it, I might object, but I'm bound to enforce it anyway. And unlike FANDOM, at least my loyal dissent is not punished by being ostracized as a bigot and canceled from being a member here, or at least I hope it never becomes that bad.

I keep in touch with a lot of other people formerly from FANDOM, many of whom were kicked out for even less than me with even less reason, and while what happened to me may be deserved in your eyes because I personally offended your feelings, I will never persecute you or anyone else at All The Tropes for whatever social, moral, or political position you may express insofar as it doesn't compromise the wiki content (and I will restrict any action to what is allowed within clearly defined rules and state exact reasons, which is more courtesy than FANDOM showed me), and as easy as it would be to use the ignore function here, you are a member of the ATT community and I believe it would be unfair for me to deny you your right to complain in loyal dissent because I answer to you and every other user whether I like it or not. In that, despite you making a point to antagonize me, I believe am showing you far more regard than the party who threw me off FANDOM for what all available information suggests was what would happen if someone like you was calling the shots there.

That said, I do not wish to discuss politics on this forum anymore if I can avoid it. I have an anxiety condition I recently needed to get an increase in dosage for, and I'd prefer to avoiding your upset and mine as well by avoiding the subject where possible. It's clear my personal political and social views are not welcome here, and I'd like to refrain from sharing them anymore to avoid upsetting you and other people and simply try to remain as professionally impartial as possible. I respectfully request you consider the same.
