Received a Bigotry Infraction today for some chapters I wrote like… 8 months ago? Even had mods and whatnot on when I posted them. Don't know what caused this super delayed infraction but whatever.
SB has, in its infinite wisdom, seen fit to give protected status to fictional peoples I made up for a fictional fan-made story in a fictional setting that has lots of fictional discrimination baked into its fictional DNA and Bones.
Despite using Dictionary Definitions of terms like 'G*psy' and ensuring that the Grass Sea Peoples situation was handled exceptionally well for the setting (BTech's first response is usually outright genocide via Flamer), I have been slapped with a Bigotry warning. Even showing the crimes in the narrative via MIIO intel reports, the glimpses of their haughtiness and unwillingness to work with the Lord of their new planet, the peoples proudly commuting their crimes against the populace because farmers couldn't do anything about their multi-ton farming equipment…etc wasn't enough.
I have decided that SB is no longer a platform that I can write in at all if this level of two-faced, two-tier rules enforcement is going to be warranted.
Have two underaged 14 queer teens making out and groping each other 'on screen'? Getting fricking fanart made of said kisses and shit? Go ahead. No problem. Two heterosexual 17 year olds kissing 'on screen'? Nah, fam, needs to fade to black. Take an infraction.
It's quite clear that if as long as you agree with a certain agenda, you can bend the rules as much as you wish, and no one will do anything to stop it.
I haven't updated this story in months and yet they saw fit to slap me with an infraction for last year's, three chapter long plot thread. Specifically used to show just how fricking stubborn and unreasonable people could be in the Battletech Universe. The people who nuke their own cities and chemically gas their own worlds, and massacre billions of people to avenge the death of one man… THAT is the people we're dealing with in the setting. The 'bigotry' of the setting is always off the charts, and while bigotry is always allowed to be showed in lots of stories, for some reason it is not allowed here. The 40K stories have TONs of fictional bigotry and Exterminatus with actual on-screen genocide, but this is worth an infraction? Okay. lol
But whatever, I'm not here to argue or appeal. The mods will just slap me with something else, I'm sure. So no, I'm done. Will just forever lurk and follow the stories I like.
I'm here to let everyone know that I will no longer be writing for this story here on SB.
Nor will I be porting over any of my other 3+ million words from QQ (Questionable Questing) to SB. Of course most of it is lewd in nature and wouldn't be accepted anyway, but I do have a few stories that would have been able to fit in here as long as I scrubbed some content and got it squeaky clean.
That won't be happening anymore.
If you want to read any more (if my muse comes back for it) you can find it on my QQ, and you'll likely get to see what little lewds I have for it.
Much love, everyone, thanks for your support, and maybe I'll see you on the other side.
Sufficient Velocity has an even harsher stance on bigotry than SB, so having the main character subject a fictional group of a real world persecuted minority to forced relocation and having it portrayed as a good thing would likely be poorly received.
I don't know, I don't post on SV, but apparently it looks like telling a story in a dystopian nightmare universe just shouldn't be allowed. Makes me wonder how WH40k stories don't get banned all the time.
Though the forced relocation is the best scenario out of all of the other horrible options. The MC being an SI is sympathetic to the GSP but recognizes that co-existence with them is impossible and has them relocated so he doesn't have to kill them all. It's not even being nuanced, it's literally "this is the best of the bad situation, but nobody around me even understands why I don't want to do this but they didn't leave me with any other choice".
But I guess I should have expected it.
I promise you though, had I made one of the characters gay and then had the Leaders of the GSP disapprove of their 'unnatural relationship' vehemently… there wouldn't have been a single complaint about those 'bigots getting kicked off world for their backwards, uneducated homophobia'. LOL In fact, MC likely would have been applauded for his courageous decision.
It's just how transparent these people are.
But that's about all I'll say on it. My time as an author here on SB is well and truly done. I tried to come back, but it just wasn't meant to be. It's not me, it's them, and I'm not going to pretend it's not.

Here's a classic bit of spacebattles ban drama:
A user by the name of Mister Zoat posted a new chapter of his self insert Justice League fanfic every day for almost three years. Then Spacebattles temp-banned him for posting Star Wars spoilers.
That interupts his daily chapter posting so he moves over to a second forum called Sufficient Velocity and starts posting there. Two more years and three thousand forum pages go by and then he gets banned from the second forum, this time for misgendering a character that he made up. The funniest thing about it is that he isn't even transphobic. His self insert character wants to use his magic powers to help the woman become a man. He just insists on using female pronouns until the transformation occurs.
So he moves again to questionable questing (a porn site) because that's the only place on the internet where misgendering is allowed.
And it looks like the daily chapters continue to this day. He's been writing this story for 12 years now, half of which were spent posting his SFW fanfic on NSFW porn forum.
God bless you, Mr. Zoat. Jesus gives his toughest jannies to his most neurodivergent soldiers.

G*merGate had permanently schismed the SpaceBattles community into SpaceBattles proper, where you can have an open discussion about G*merGate and SJWs, but any sort of controversial takes will be banned, Sufficient Velocity, which was inhabited by those who think that anyone whose eyes don't turn red at the mere mention of G*merGate is a nazi chud, and Questionable Questing, where everyone thinks that G*merGate was the greatest revolution in the history of humankind.
SpaceBattles G*merGate thread survived for a pretty long time before being locked after reaching the maximum number of pages allowed. It was genuinely a good place for an open discussion.

shitlibs should realize that stuff like this is more detrimental to their cause than anything else and will cause the aspies they're tormenting by running them off of their gay nerd autism space battle site to flee to rightoids REEEEEEEEEEEEing and will result in them forever becoming gigachuds
I've read Space Battles a few times looking for information about certain books because it comes up in Google searches. I swear to God these people are the most neurodivergent people ever
Half the threads are like "what would happen if the XEELEE universe fought hecking Warhammer 40k" well, I don't know r-slur because it's fricking completely impossible the nonsense fantasy physics of both those worlds don't even fricking line up
but they'll still have an analysis they're full of fricking awful calculations "oh I didn't account for relativity because I don't know how" okay, great well then you should know your fricking pointless calculations are garbage
half the time they don't get the information right or they're confused about something that's pretty clearly stated in the book but they're too focused on what would happen if G'Blormpf the Destroyer was gonna fistfight Gay Tentacle Lord Progesteronino

Can any EUfriends confirm whether the gypsies are as annoying as I'm told? I'm a burger so I have no exposure but I frequently hear Europeans complaining about them and US shitlibs crying about discrimination against them.

God carefully combining the worst trait of every culture and ethnicity to create gypsies
The worst ones live either in (more or less) gypsy-only neighborhoods or in secluded areas with makeshift homes and shacks. Incest and libertarianism runs rampant in those insulated communities, plenty of uncles, brothers or dads raping prepubescent girls. If they get a nicer government provided home/apartment, it's pretty common they destroy it, their old makeshift ones often catch on fire due to negligence. They smell, they're extremely loud, they love committing petty theft and small scams. They're definitely more prone to violence than general population too but don't have guns so it's not the biggest issue.

They are the only reason incest is legal in Serbia and our age of consent is 14.
We have been utterly cucked by the fall of Milosevic and the advent of the European Serbia™.

Yes, they are.
Serious post incoming: gypsies aren't a race or an ethnic identity. Like at all. A gypsy in Bongland and a gypsy in Poland will look completely different, speak completely different languages, and commit different crimes. Do a genetic test on any specimen and you'll find they 100% match the genetic makeup of their local area/country. Yes, they do inbreed with their gypsy clans but that doesn't make that a separate ethnic identity, not any more than royal families around the world.
The gypsy is a vocation. Most are born into the lifestyle, but they can leave and join society at any time and none would be the wiser. Here in Bongland they roam the land in caravans, campers, motor homes or whatever Americans want to call them; they stay in a location and steal dogs, mug the locals, steal anything that isnt nailed down (anything that is is cut up and sold for scrap instead), and engage in general anti-social behaviour. Before local authorities and police can arrest them they pack up and move to a different jurisdiction, leaving their camping spot (often public parks in towns) like a wasteland out of Mad Max. They keep doing it until they die. Gypsies refuse to send their kids to school, don't pay taxes, refuse to work, and are outlaws in the most literal sense of the word.
Yes, nobody in Europe likes them but Americans seem to have this weird soft spot for pikeys, calling us racist when they've grown fat off of enslaving black peoole for around 200 years.

Bong travelers are separate from continental gypsies, but continental gypsies are most definitely a range of ethnicities completely distinct from the locals.

You have not heard racism until you've heard a European be asked about gypsies.
They are an actual plague, its fully embedded into their culture to steal, cheat and destroy anything in their path.
And this isnt a case of rightoids hating blacks and blaming it on their culture because they are too chicken shit to just say they dont like their skin colour, because EVERYONE has the same experience with gypos they are violent and thieves.
Pubs will close down when a group sets up shop because a fight is inevitable with them.

Are they space gypsies as written by a European (steal mechs and spaceships) or are they space gypsies as written by Americans (no bike thefts or having your bloodline curses).

SI self incert. The writer abandons any pretending that there original character is not them and puts him self in the story. A classic example is the writer wakes up in anime land in a a teen girls body and has s*x with their favorite characters (all female of course, no men allowed).
Dlp darklordpotter a fan fic website similar to spacesbattles creative writing but for harry potter. Grimdark r-slurred themed fanfiction. Most users moved to spacebattles where they get banned for being to edgey.
