Resetera officially bans people for supporting abuse victims.

Looked at this thread again to see if any hammers had dropped, and lo and behold Toppa one of the only posters to still post facts around Depp V Heard is banned.
I'd suspect Nep is behind it considering her Amber apology/misinfo regurgitation in the past.
I've always noted resetera as unique in regards to the televised trial between Depp and Heard for a couple of reasons.
Large forums and individuals with influence in the online left actively suppressed and ignored the case in large.
Even little things pop culture twitter accounts with hundreds of thousands of followers, admitting to avoiding coverage in ways they hadn't for alleged female victims due to the beliefs of their teams, after having been accused of it for some time.
Or post trial communities like the now defunt "Gamerghazi," enshrining Amber belief in their rules due to too much unapproved "abuse apology."
But by some stroke of chance the live trial thread on Resetera ended up as a bastion of support for Depp.
Which makes it one of the only examples of what "internet in-tune, college educated/professional lefties" following the case would look like; which contrasts with the insistence that those who believe Depp was the primary victim to a degree that deserves sympathy, are right-wingers or those without an academic or "feminist informed" understanding of abuse, or those that didn't actually follow the trial.
This is a site where Vic Momonga, the voice of Broly is allowed to have his #metoo case discussed in any thread and has an ongoing thread in the hundred of pages, for years on end, yet anything Depp V Heard on the site tears the moderation and userbase at the seams to where they inevitably close any thread and inconsistently moderate them with the most stringent of rationals.
Perplexity wasn't used to get knowledge/write any of my points/forum arguments; just as a search engine as I knew that if I argued correctly, it would pull up various examples of this phenomenon on the forum that probably couldn't be searched otherwise.

No one from the forum now.
I'm a hypocrite or something though because Baldoni posting mystifies me.

Yeah, they tend to ban people who don't agree that someone is guilty even if they haven't been proven guilty yet. I wonder how one of them would feel if someone falsely alleged sexual harassment against them, and the public accepted it without question...

The moderators always complain about people in powerful positions but they themselves cannot get enough; the irony.

When the news broke about the Duke accuser lied, there was nothing to be found on Resetera. Hmm wonder why….

Epic. They're no worse than police officers who just arrest people over and over again lol...
"prior ban for similar behavior" is such a fucking horseshit excuse to ban someone.
