Cries out in Pain as it Strikes you with an LRM-20
Trains colonizing another nerd hobby, must be a day that ends in Y (much like these women's chromosomes 
)
For a quick primer, Battletech is a nerd game from the 80s. The creators watched a bunch of bootleg anime VHS and talked to some toy company, bought a dubious set of rights and make their own tabletop giant robot game called Battletech, which many of you millenials will probably know as MechWarrior. Since the game is an autism simulator where you track where you guns and missiles strike the enemy robot and shade in areas where it takes damage it attracts a certain type of nerd that is vulnerable to nerd-cocaine, or HRT as it's known on the groomercord streets.
Interestingly the hobby has managed to stave off the Trans-Clan invasions for a decent amount of time, at one point they were banning people spamming "Trans Lives Matters" in the online game. But it would appear they have finally succumbed to the blue and pink menace. This is what tipped me off
It all began during pride month where someone took their gaysex novella and decided they could make some good money by putting a robot in it and marketing it to nerds. In short, a FAN MADE PRIDE EDITION BATTLETECH NOVEL YASSS KWEEEEEEEEEN.

Naturally this inspired a lot of alphabet folks to jump over to the /r/battletech sub. Below is a selection of their wonderful work
It may surprise you but the sub immediately went private, the head mod is not in the alphabet mafia and rumor is doesn't worship them either

The evil bigots in charge of /r/battletech managed to hold the tide for like 24hrs. A handful of users will even try to push back before being downmarseyd to oblivion: https://old.reddit.com/r/OfficialBattleTech/comments/13zyg2u/comment/jmuke5f/?context=3
Then the owners of battletech, CatalystGameLabs swooped in to save the day and ensure that Battletech is for everyone, but some everyones are more important than other everyones.

And it worked wonderfully, the sole surviving members of battletech now kneel before the church of Trans
Hello /r/battletech community. I originally created /r/battletech 15 years ago because I wanted a place to talk about Battletech on Reddit. I have not been active as a moderator or contributor but I regularly read posts and comments. Yesterday was when I became aware of the removal of the Pride Anthology post and the rightfully deserved backlash. I have no moderation or community management experience but I'm trying my best to right any wrongs.
Effective immediately, Rule #1 of /r/battletech mirrors Rule #1 of /r/OfficialBattletech, 'BATTLETECH IS FOR EVERYBODY'. The previous rule, 'All posts must be Battletech related', and it's 1988 stipulation has been removed. The current moderation team has been removed.
Update from /u/RussellZee.
Posting as the lead over in the OfficialBattleTech side of things, we're aware of the action ddevil's taken to try and course correct, and we appreciate it (and his reaching out). Unfortunately things are a little up in the air at the moment for just how we're going to move forward. So we're going to be reaching out to whoever we can reach out to during a Monday meeting call, and get whatever guidance we can, for how TPTB would like us to move forward. In BattleTech terms, sometimes a junior officer in the field can make a quick call and take quick action, sometimes they've got to call high command and wait for the nobles to make their decisions.

I don't think you even have to go that far. Imagine you're the top mod on the sub but don't do any actual modding, you probably have all the mod notifications muted and only interact with the other jannies once every few months. Then out of the blue you open the app and see hundreds of DMs about how your mod team is infested with Nazis who are currently enacting a trans genocide and that you're just as evil for standing by them. Then the sub gets privated, and the company makes a statement condemning it.
Then imagine the mods who privated it trying to explain the train hobby sub takeover to you, after you've already been told what racist sexist homophobic transphobes they are by dozens of people. If you weren't in the top 1% of extremely online losers he would sound like a lunatic. What choice would you make?

Also how do
s rationalize the clans literally being the master race with a significant portion literally committing lebensraum. Also the kuritans being hardline anti semites and FASA making literal Muslim terrorists inspired by the Iraq war (seriously read some of the word of Blake jihad stuff. Probably of the most mature takes on both the war and bailouts as well, since General Motors and Toyota are canon in the bt universe)
