thank you for the open and communiticative moderation ; it's a breath of fresh air in a ban/censorship hungry internet.
It wasn't meant as a terribly serious comment, any more than a dystopia's boringness, is meant to be a completely serious idea.
I don't believe there is such a thing as random victims. Also, all violence is happening more than it should. Picking and choosing which identities, situations, and thus people ; qualify as dystopian, can be complicated in that way.
However, light heartedness, humor, and framing things as boring, can be a powerful and effective response to otherwise dire circumstances. Which is part of the value of this community, imo.
My ultimate hope is we can start to find ways to unify and create solutions, but your guess is as good as mine on how to do that.
Talking instead of banning, blocking, and censoring is a good start though, so thank you for that!
