This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.
Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.
Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.
Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.

Was banned from [email protected] for calling out a Mod's misuse of the Egg prime directive to criticize trans people for helping out trans women in denial of their trans-ness. They're denying the validity of signs of being transgender, what the actual fuck, this shit is not okay. Then after banning me that dipshit locks the post so no one else can reply on it. How is this not power-tripping?

Playing girls in videogames is a sign of being trans now? Hello stereotype.
When I played WoW, there were several guys in my guild who played female characters. They were all the most misogynistic gamer chuds I've ever met, who routinely objectified not only their own character but also the IRL cis women who played the game. On that note: almost every IRL cis woman I knew played male characters to avoid the attention from said gamer chuds.
I do get that some people use this as an avenue of gender exploration and maybe some of the people I met were so deep in denial that they hid behind toxic masculinity, but I think most of it was actually just toxic masculinity.
It is :) Most cis boys don't enjoy playing as girls, it's a very eggy thing to do.
Yep, every guy who ever played tomb raider is actually trans.
Did you play it because it was a fun game, or did you play it because you could be a girl in that game? 😏
I'm a cis girl irl, so that's kinda hard to answer
Pro-tip: Cis people really shouldn't be giving pointers when it comes to the trans experience.
You're literally asking for the perspective of cis people who play as the opposing gender in games. You're not discussing the trans experience.
I've played plenty of 3rd person games as male and female. If there's not an option, I did it because it's the game I want to play. If there's an option, such as in an RPG, I sometimes do it because I role play.
I used to do it too to roleplay, and for some people it means nothing, but if you're doing it all the time or regularly, it's more likely that might be a sign... I did it all the time, I even drew pictures of myself as a girl, all the signs were there.
Going out of ones way to Do it every time and drawing yourself is an order of magnitude more significant.
Exactly and that's the context of the situation in the original post I commented in, and the connection that mod was trying to deny.
We're not discussing that right now. Just about other people playing games as women. In the original situation that got you banned it's because you kept forcing the egg against the comm rules.
We all know that that rule was probably added by that mod and it also really doesn't make sense in a trans community about breaking out of the egg.
Well, I think that someone who fundamentally doesn't understand why eggs are called eggs shouldn't be giving pointers either. I think that people in general shouldn't be in the business of telling others what to think and feel. But that's just me.
Or maybe we want to stare at a female ass while playing a third person game.
To quote: "If I'm looking at an ass for hours, it'd better be a nice one"
Smaller hit-boxes too? 😏
Take your gender norm enforcement elsewhere.
