I am just saying that over all, the topic of Kanye's password is more important to the world than this topic. It's drama. Has anyone answered your exploding banana question or is this topic being exploded and censored as it continues?

But at the same time, I'll make you notice one thing: The fact that you are trying to deviate the topic, and emphasise how "irrelevant" or "disinteresting" it is, makes it all the more relevant and interesting. It shows that you indeed have an interest in the topic or you would not be here, but you are uncomfortable with it, or you would not try to dismiss it.
And the fact that you'd say that a mere funny drama joke is more important (that I didn't know about, by the way, thanks for the tip) shows that the value you allot to this topic is one below normalcy, meaning that you feel something negative about it. You do feel an intimate connection with this topic, which is this negative feeling, and you want to make it go away to be more comfortable in your safe space.
I'm not particularly for/against any side here. I'm just showing you that your actions have a meaning different than the one your words imply.

Nope, you're reading way to far into it. I saw @trumpman was flagged over and over so I came to stir the pot. The topic could have been anything, lol.

Well, if it had been anything, you may not have wanted to outright dismiss it. But let's just make peace and start over. I'm Sharon! Nice to meet you. :3

Oh, I love talking with you. We have had a nice banter here all based on the fact I heard about 6 zero's on the radio today going to the doctors and you did not. I find that amazing and we have shown how to disagree, speak to each other and move on.
I never would have known about that stupid password if I didn't have a doctors appointment today, so meeting you and chatting made having to learn that was important news to the general public was worth it.
I have many LGB friends, not sure if I have ever met a T. I have also never heard it discussed with hatred or indifference except on social media and bias news outlets. That is why I love Steemit, people complain all the time but I never have to hear about it. I never knew Pepe the frog was racist until reading it on Steemit. I guess I am blessed to not spend much real time on social media outside of Steemit.
I can pop in and play devils advocate to any topic, I don't have thin skin. So if you ever need a topic wingman, just let me know.

I also love playing devil's advocate, but here on Steem I try to stay on the neutral side. Showing an opinion, pretending to have it or playing to pretend to have it can get you flags and an eternally bad rep if people misunderstand, misjudge, or appropriately understand and their intolerance makes them discriminate you.
The only time I let go of this rule, I got a big, fat flag from someone who misunderstood my trollish joke as serious.
I have talked to transexuals on Telegram and in online forums, but never in real life. I've never had a problem with them, though it's obviously strange because I'm unfamiliar with the situation.

I am not going to pretend to be something that I am not, if people want to flag me that is well within their rights. I am not going to edit or censor myself out of fear and neither should anyone else. That is where a lot of the problems come from on topics like these, people say what they think they want to hear in place of what they mean or feel.
My six zero comment didn't hurt the poster at all nor should it have made anyone mad, if it did that is a personal issue with the one affected.

Hmmm, censored? As long as nobody downvotes me to greyness or deletes the topic, I don't think it will be censored. Also, both are drama. Kanye's is just funny. Relevant to us? Don't think so. This post, however, touches the topic of an allegedly prevalent attitude on the blockchain that we could strive to observe.
I'm curious about human behaviour, so this whole topic is interesting to me. Kanye's thingy, though, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ people are dumb all the time. He's not famous for being bright.

There are quite a few replies greyed out in this thread. Which draws double the attention to them, so maybe it is backwards censorship more like advertising them to be read. I don't know. I guess you and the OP are having a genuine conversation or at least you are trying to. So I will stop trying to make light of the subject and let you carry on. I hope you get an answer as I have never heard tygertyger being a slur before either.

Two, to be exact (only on Steemit, not Busy, so I had to change platforms to notice/check this fact). And they're comments that are pretty much personally attacking the poster. That's what flags are for, right? Disagreeing with rewards, particularly on ill-intentioned entries.

They read like comments saying the poster has in the past made other comments that do not fit this posts narrative. There is also another user stating the same fact and their comments are not being downvoted.
When two people in the same comment section are saying the same thing and only one is down-voted what does that imply?

I just went back and read all the comments. No comment other than Trumpman's talks about the poster's history. The only other one that criticises the narrative does it by analysing one phrase (about positions of power). I think you read too much into them or exaggerated their content.

I flagged the comments of @trumpman with direct personal insults. Not even all of them.
When I read a post that interests me, I don't want to read through personal attacks in the comments that got nothing to do with the topic of the post.
There are no arguments in trumpman's comments, just "you love Stalin" hurrdurr, while ignoring the historical (Spain, Ukraine, the international), political (communism is socialism in the same way national socialism was) and personal (the attacked user wrote about the perversions of communism in the USSR in another post) facts. Nothing worth those self upvotes.

The self upvotes were thrown because the user loves to flag me whenever we have a debate and make my comments invisible. He also loves to do the same on other people with different political views, especially the small minnows. Then he proceeds to make comments "Ha, how do you like your capitalism now dumbass"? Please note, I have NEVER flagged her. Consider my self upvotes to be preemptive self defense.
As for insults, were did you see them? I said she loves Stalin. Maybe I am wrong, but judging from her comment history (see the indicative screenshots I placed above) I think I am not. But even if I am wrong, loving Stalin isn't an insult per se. It's just a political view. Also I called her trans which again I don't consider an insult and she herself has said she is one. Or do YOU consider the word "trans" to be an insult?
Honestly, the only thing that imo can be considered an insult is the "suck stalins dick" line, which I posted in another comment on this thread. But still, this is again more a comment on her political views rather than an insult if you ask me. True, I could have worded it differently and be less of a dick but still, not much of an insult XD
Have a fun day.

If you need proof for any of my claims (e.g. the flagging part) let me know. It's all on the blockchain :)

You may not consider "dumbass" or "you're a joke" as insults, I do though.
Your first comment here starts with the statement that you can't have a meaningful discussion with the user. Why even write that, and not ignore it? It's definitely not providing any value to this post. Don't you have a discussion going on about it elsewhere?
Regarding the user's opinion, I see USSR flags, yes, but no praise, quite the contrary. But as you don't even seem to understand the differences between Marxism and Stalinism it seems to me you've simply been triggered by the flag.

I totally forgot about these ones. Yep these can definitely be considered insults by some. I think they are facts but that's subjective. Fair enough
Why? Maybe because the post says "My question is, what would your arguments in it's defence be in light of this video?"
So I explain that from my pov I think discussing with her is pointless for the reason I explained.
She has posted a million times videos in various commens that claim why and how the USSR of Stalin is awesome. And shared them in a "look this cool video" way not a "this is a totally bs video " kind of way. This is proof enough for me that she loves Stalin and USSR. Maybe she changed her views since, maybe she is politically confused or maybe I am totally wrong.

I confess, I have no political views other than the view anyone who involves themselves in politics needs to be examined. Politics are more like a gossip train that cause discord among the people and have no value in life. Those in office don't even follow their own parties, they just pick one to be elected.
I don't mind opinions and there are much worse personal attacks around the platform, hell even the OP made a comment in this post as an attack on @tygertyger but it was not flagged. She/he even refuses to answer the question of how the other users name is a slur or anti-Tranny. I just don't see an equal amount of injury to insult happening. I could be wrong as we are entitled to our opinion and thoughts.
This just seems like it is one-sided at best.

Yeah. I'm not the platform police. I only (up-/down-)vote posts I read and may engage with. When I see a self upvoted comment at the top of a post insulting the poster with no further contribution to the OP, I react. I didn't really hurt him, let most of his nonesense untouched, and only greyed out the insults.
I have no idea what a tygertyger is. I don't see insults there, just claims. And I don't flag claims, or I'd have to flag most of this thread.
You saying he/she seriously makes me not wonder why she doesn't reply to you. Wouldn't wonder if you were muted.... Wtf.

I have only seen this post. No idea if they consider themselves a male or female. I was trying to be polite and you took it as an insult. See how the world works? They have been referred to him and her in the comments. And here we see how fucked up PC is in the world.
