it's very unsurprising to me that this is the case (heard accounts like this from most national left wing orgs I've ever heard of). as I said in the other thread I urge people to reckon with the truth instead of hand waving. dismissing something as serious as this as a "smear" especially is really fucking gross.
As Awoo said, the reason you see so much focusing on these types of scandals in left organizations is because the liberals know that we are more serious about these issues than they are so it makes a good angle of attack.
fr like all the behind the scenes talk in mod/admin back channels is about issues of intersectionality and how to combat various forms of abuse that unfortunately have happened on this site. Every time a space is big enough and especially an anonymous space like this it is a factor you have to deal with. And we do deal with it here. I think 3 people already got banned from this post.
