wally Update: Decapitations, Child Sex Bots, and Bubba

From the Politics board: wally's been keeping busy with his brand of personal attack and hostility. Just how far can you go when you're a moderator and the rules don't apply to you? Let's have a look.

We'll start with the big one.

"Westboro Baptist Church Says It is Going to Iraq To Protest ISIS"

wally wasn't alone in hoping that the members of Westboro Baptist Church would end up dead at the hands of terrorists or hit by collateral damage. The difference here is that he claims to be a moderator, and yet his opinion was arguably the most extreme:

On a scale my 0-10 on the giving-a-****-o-meter, I'd be at about a negative seven billion about the thought of those scumbags being beheaded. If ISIS did that, I'd say our response should be to universally yawn, chuckle, and then forget their existence.

Keep in mind that in the past, politics boardgoers have been moderated for saying that they're happy a politician has died. There were even some messages nuked for being too happy that Osama bin Laden was killed.

Is that an offensive thing for a veteran mod to say? To laugh at the thought of a group you don't like being murdered and beheaded by a terrorist group which is just as repressive, but far more violent than this group? The WBC peacefully protests, after all, it's just that their message is found to be offensive. Worthy of being violently killed for their beliefs, because a gamefaqs mod would find the terrorist attack funny?

You tell me if this is a two-way street. If we would allow the WBC to show up and chuckle at people who are killed in terrorist attacks. Of course we wouldn't! How many other messages are out there which have been taken down for less?

Would mods do something to one of their own? Of course we wouldn't! Not trolling or offensive if you're a mod. But it is trolling if you repeat he said it as a regular old user. That was just an nkl, by the way. Gee, thanks?

I'm not up on my social justice warrior hypocrisy, but I'm pretty sure if wally got his wish and he's saying the WBC deserved to die during their funerals, he'd pretty much be filling in for them and doing what they do. If you do it as the WBC you're a vile, hateful scumbag; if you do it as wally, shrug.

But you know, maybe despite that moderation of mine and the lack thereof with wally, we lowly users just don't appreciate how hard the mods are working behind the scenes on our behalf. Maybe someone's pulled wally aside for a little bit and said, "hey bro, you're a veteran moderator here and what you do can reflect badly on us. Supporting any kind of terrorism against anyone is kind of f****ed up." While we're at it, maybe the moon's made of cheese.

My Lesser Quibbles

"Robotics expert claims child sex robots could be used to treat pedophiles."

By the 2nd message we're already telling someone who disagreed with him to stop posting if they know what's good for them. "Geoman, next time you go to post, can you maybe not post, instead?" Chilling effect?

The real offensive thing, in wally's eyes, was that pedophiles didn't have realistic-looking kids to screw and society was to blame for not providing them with this "outlet." Because encouraging people to sleep with robo-kids would mean they're less likely to go after real kids. Kind of like how we encourage kids who like to kill animals to do more of it, so they get their murderous urges out and maybe don't shoot up the school. Don't urges get bigger the more you feed them?

We may see the day when someone gets modded for opposing a pedophile's taxpayer-funded civil right to robo-kid sex toys. We'll know who's responsible for that decision.

"GOP Candidate For State Senate Ends Campaign After Admitting Affair"

wally defends Bill Clinton's serial adultery, arguing that it doesn't really matter and wasn't a trust issue. BUT if a Republican did it, it would be terrible, on the theory that what someone says is more important than how they act. wally essentially said it's okay if you're a Democrat, because Bubba never promised to be family values (he did, however, make vows to his wife and swore to testify the truth in court, but whatever). So because Bill didn't talk about family values on the campaign it's all right, but if Republicans did the same thing Bill did that would be the worst ever, since they said they were family values and lied. Just like Bill. But different. When users did their homework and brought up some of Bill Clinton's family values statements on the campaign, shrug. What mod bias?

"Artificial wombs are coming, and the controversy is already here"

In which wally says "Abortion isn't about killing a fetus. It's about removing a fetus from a woman's body. The fact that it kills the fetus is an unfortunate side effect, not the primary goal."

Has anyone ever walked out of an abortion, shocked that an abortion is an abortion? "My baby's DEAD!? How'd this happen? I'll sue you for everything you got!"

a·bor·tion

əˈbôrSHən/

noun

noun: abortion; plural noun: abortions

1.

the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, most often performed during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy.

 

Kermit Gosnell's infamous abortion mill saw the children born alive, he would then snip their spinal cords or dump them in a toilet to die. As a state senator Barack Obama voted "present" to letting born-alive infants die on the floor. The intent is to kill the unwanted child.

wally's attempt to put a smiley face on abortion ignores the textbook definition of what a surgical abortion is. If he's this mixed up on the definition of abortion, what about his definition of a ToU violation?

I didn't make this blog to hate wally. He just shows up a lot on it because he stands out as an exceptionally terrible case.
