Funny story; I was banned for complaining about a misogynistic post title a mod had posted. I even complained about that here
For the record I'm trans and gay, I was complaining about people being called 'cumrags' (derogatory) in a post title.
for the record, you can be trans and gay and also be homophobic or say homophobic things. it should not be used as a shield.
sure, but I wasn't being homophobic in that comment either.

ah, then you should understand the frustration of your words and intent being twisted to fit somebody else's agenda and then a community reprimanding you. or you don't, that's okay too. empathy is not for everyone.
I mean in my case they were just aggressively misreading what I said because they already didn't like me, and specifically added the 'homophobia' tag so that it looks bad in the modlog.
I have plenty of empathy, it's why I found your original statement off-putting.
Your edited part of your comment is probably why you got removed:

it was cool and good that luigi shot that insurance executive; I'd like to see more of that and less military adventurism.
If you're such a good drone pilot maybe start using those skills on insurance executives if you want to impress me.
