This is completely out of context. I never called anyone that word on this forum. I wouldn't even use it here if I thought people would take it the wrong way. All I did was explain how it's actually used in my country because someone was making a blanket statement about all Argentinians. That's it. I'm from a brown-skinned family. My aunt calls me that every single day. It's not a slur where I'm from, it's normal. You can't just take a word from one country, ignore the culture behind it, and act like it means the same thing everywhere. What's actually crazy is that I'm getting in trouble for educating someone. I didn't attack anyone. I explained my own culture and now I'm being treated like I did something wrong. That doesn't make any sense. If you don't believe me, just look it up. Here's a woman who breaks it down perfectly here: https://www.instagram.com/p/DbHU_aiCufU/
Everyone can make fun of my perfo... But at the end of the day, the person (or people) who called me out over this are simply wrong.

did some research while u were away, and can confirm this term is mostly used in a derogatory and classist way. it is not exclusively a term of endearment. u can defend ur country, and also admit they have a history of using the term inappropriately.

So what are the criteria for removing somebody's thread-making privileges? Because @PoisonedIvy has been threading just any negative thought that comes to his mind about Lady Gaga for years now and I've been told it's flamebait or makes certain bases feel unsafe to behave in a way that is 1/100th as extra when it's about other artists. Baiting out pages of Gaga hate-circlejerking while fence-sitting and maintaining you didn't mean harm doesn't exactly excuse the desperation and generally unwell behavior:

This is a sampling and not a complete list. This user has already had his thread privs taken away for less. At least DMF is funny. This is a serious hq question since as far as I know help requests are still broken. heart

Imagine taking ATRL this seriously but not even bothering to read the OP's of supposedly "negative" threads where I am quite blatantly complimenting the artist in question. "Is anyone else starting to dislike Gaga?" starts with me talking about people saying she is too talented. Like be so serious rn rip

What's even more strange is that this person claims to like Lady Gaga and be a supporter. Imagine being so far into stan politics that you're religiously lashing artists you like. Swifties and their obsessive stan politics are a major issue on this forum that continues to go unaddressed. Trashing artists you actually like for validation from the in-group is quite literally textbook cult behavior.

and you're choosing to make Lady Gaga threads weekly instead of doing something about it fountain

I love Lady Gaga, I think she's a really interesting artist! #UWontUseMyMind

I just received a warning point for being off topic, and I honestly do not see the consistency.

Yes, another user mentioned Xtina first, but the moderator chose to continue the comparison by saying Kanye has more classic singles and albums than her. A DMF thread is automatically a Xtina thread? I replied directly to his comment, and then that same moderator warned me for being off topic. @Devin f I was off topic, you were off topic too.

Penalizing someone for responding to it feels pretty questionable. I just hope an admin can review the warning.
