I'm sure there would be zero abuse of this functionality to harass pro or publicly out LGBT moderators and remove them from their positions.

Lol yeah this is not what happens. If anything, it's the "pro-LGBT" moderators that abuse this system to take over subreddit, and it's impossible to deny at this point. It was funny seeing Bardfinn fail at this in spectacular fashion once as the head mod managed to get his account back before it submitted the request.

It was funny seeing Bardfinn fail at taking over subreddit in spectacular fashion once as the head mod managed to get his account back before it submitted the request. These mods would even spam CSEM using sock accounts then report the victim subreddit for being unmoderated. Subreddits would go into approved posting mode to defend against this. So no, you've pegged the wrong people that'd abuse such a system.

Oh it certainly can rub both ways. I've been publicly out as trans since 2015 and am quite outspoken against the modern LGBT community (and banned from half the spaces at this point anyway). That certain grifters and power hungry individuals have figured out how to game the modern moral system doesn't mean that there is never any legitimate harassment towards LGBT individuals.

"Listen and believe" is quite possibly the dumbest thing to become a mainstream argument. As if nobody would ever figure out they can abuse this policy to lie or have ulterior motives or want to air petty drama or want to paint a target on someone for their followers to harass. Minorities are to be treated as God reincarnate and can do and say no wrong. Want to be the shittiest, most toxic person on Earth? Go ahead! Just be sure to say you're trans so anyone who calls you an asshole is being transphobic. It's OK to do vile things like spam child porn on a forum you don't like in an attempt to get it shut down or seized by authorities. The ends justify the means after all!

I'm well aware of AHS's bullshit over the years and the many, many, many times they've tried to shut down subs I browse.
