Let me back up and come in from a different angle.

I'm a mod here because of a bizarre accident where I told someone who was a mod here years ago, "Yes, I like The Cure, here's my recreation of the MOOG Voyager patches O'Donnell used on …".

At which point that person said "Brilliant, we need more moderators, come on board"

But like … music is what I do to relax.

In my "day job", I research and analyse

The ways that extremists and bigots and harassers have affected social media, poisoned forums, signal to one another, and ontologise the world

Guess who the only people who complain about "politics in [art form]" are.

Go on.

Take a big, fat guess.

And after you guess, you're going to come back with "But I'm not —"

And I will not give a darn. There's a reason that it's such a popular shibboleth for White Identity Extremism groups - because white guys who live in capitalist cultures think of their culture as the default, and everything and everyone else as foreign and political.

That is what the shibboleth means.

That is why you're getting pushback.

That is why no one is playing the game.

Politics is the use and analysis of power in human relationships. there's very little that involves multiple people that is not involved with politics to some degree. Music is hugely political.

Your demand is transparent, "I want the music's politics to not be inconvenient to me.".

Grow. Or don't — I'm not your mother.

But quit demanding that the world and a band's music and the politics involved must conform to your wishes.

No one is fooled by your bland protestations.

No, it is yours. Art is supposed to move you emotionally. If the place it moves you disgusts you — well, that place that disgusts you is inside you. Deal with it.

Brianna Wu is a bigoted troll. They "followed" her because she's in cahoots with them. She literally cooperates with the Ideologically Motivated Violent Extremist transphobes, homophobes, & misogynists that ran G*merGate & the G*merGate subreddits.

If you follow Brianna Wu you will be added to moderation lists there that block followers of known hatemongers.

Because there's two kinds of people, white cishet capitalist patriot men & political, right?

The political divisiveness was brought here. Figure out who brought it.

I am certain you do not wish to argue that several years ago you assaulted me at Tanglewood Forest. Several of your fellow company members have chased me and thwapped me with Amtgard -legal boffer weapons on Company Road while I was making announcements on behalf of Kingdom Officers.
