Personal note: And let's not forget that the Guardian has been fine with pushing transphobia, so they contribute to the anti-queer sentiment that empowers anti-queer groups' attempts to censor books. Something the Guardian surely won't acknowledge any time soon...
Oh, yeah, I mean the British press is institutionally compromised - there's hardly a major outlet of any orientation which hasn't been gunning for trans people on the regular over the last few years.
That they don't address their own bigotry either reflects their complete lack of self-awareness, or that they maliciously wish to conceal their intentions with it.
Honestly, we elsewhere should cut the US off to the fullest extent possible. Utterly cancerous society, and I don't want the American brand of stupid religion-infatuated bigotry creeping over here.
No. No, fuck all the way off with that shit.
If you don’t know, people who can’t get a book banned when they challenge it with the established system will just “borrow” it to do whatever nasty things come to mind.
Please always help protect stories.
I'm sure this has everything to do with Americans that have too much free time on their hands and absolutely nothing to do with a certain batshit wealthy author or a completely complicit tabloid press.

No bigotry of any kind allowed. Making racist, sexist, trans-/homo-/queerphobic, otherwise demeaning and hateful comments is not ok. Disabilities and mental illnesses are not to be used as insults and should not be part of your comment unless speaking of your own or absolutely relevant.
No gatekeeping and being rude to people who don't agree with you. Leave “gamer” stereotypes out of your comment (e.g. sexless, neck bearded, teenaged, basement-dwelling, etc). Don't compare people to animals, or otherwise deny their humanity. Even if you think someone is the worst human on the planet, do not wish death or harm upon them.
No "justice porn". Posts regarding legal action and similar is allowed, but celebrating someone being harmed is not.
Contrarianism for its own sake is unnecessary and not welcome.
No planning operations, no brigading, no doxxing or similar activities allowed.
Absolutely no defense of GamerGate and other right-wing harassment campaigns, no TERFs and transphobia, racism, dismissing of war crimes and praise of fascists. This includes “JAQing off”, intentionally asking leading questions while pretending to be a neutral party. This also applies to other forms of authoritarianism and authoritarian or criminal actions by liberal or leftist governments.
NSFW threads, such as ones discussing erotic art, pornography and sex work, must be tagged as such.
Moderators can take action even if none of the rules above are broken.
