I'm sorry, but thinking it's okay to upset rape victims to earn political points does not make you any better than Republicans who also make light of rape.
Also, how the fuck does empathizing with rape victims bully anyone?
Are you seriously badmouthing the concept of empathy? Also, for the record, I empathize with rape victims because I know multiple rape victims.
Edit: for that matter, you almost certainly do too. But I can understand why they would be reluctant to to talk to you about it.
Not a single thing in that entire post is true.
"Nuh-huh" is not a rational defense of a post that was 100% false.
That is not how the burden of proof works. You made the claims. It is not my job to prove you aren't lying, it's yours.

So go for it. You won't be able to because every single thing you said was a lie, but do go for it.
Which part of the since removed comment would you like me to prove?
Absolutely any of it. It’s still in the mod log. You can find any bit of it and prove it. Go for it. By the way, attempting to give just one example of what you’re talking about is not proof.
All anyone needs to do is look through your own history and mod log to find evidence. And since we both know you’re going to say “that proves nothing” to anything I give you, why would I even humor you? Denial is your only weapon, and I don’t need to convince you that you’re a bad person. 😘
If that's all one needs to do, then do it.
You won't, because you were lying.
Everything I said, I believe to be 100% true.
Yes, you've already told me. Prove it.
I already told you where to get the proof. If you don’t want to self-reflect, that’s not my problem lol
Again, it is not my job to prove you aren't lying, it's yours.
But you were lying, so...
lol okay
Gald we are in agreement.
If that makes you happy, you can have it. You’re welcome.
It does indeed make me happy when someone finally admits their obvious lie was a lie.
It sounds like you’re trying to convince yourself.
That would be another lie.

No, I'm not going to ask you to prove it. You already admitted you're a liar. I'm just not sure why you're keeping it up now.
You have a strange way of comprehending conversation. I suppose that, mixed with your desire to dominate people, is what made you unsuitable to be a moderator. But I guess that resolved itself <3
More lies. I still moderate multiple communities and I never moderated this one.
Don't all these lies get tiring?
I can create an unimportant community and claim I’m a moderator too. The important part is you were removed from the ones that matter because you were unqualified. I think you got off easy. But of course, you don’t comprehend the difference between an opinion and a “lie,” which is probably how you got to where you are in life.
Unimportant community:
Again, do you ever get tired of all of these lies?
Yup, very unimportant community. But it does make a lot of sense that you would be a mod of shit posts.
Calling what is literally the third most popular community on Lemmy "very unimportant" is your weirdest lie yet.
Popularity and “importance” are two different things. You can no longer control the news.
It makes a lot of sense for you to be the king of shit posting. You very much deserve that position. If you want to think that community is “important,” it is an opinion you are welcome to have.
This ends right now.
It takes two. He was staying within the wheelhouse of the discussion. You chose to make it personal. If you don’t like what he has to say on the subject, either respectfully disagree, or don’t respond.
But you antagonized. That doesn’t warrant banning someone because they stood up for themselves.
