Protests are more interesting when they involve live theatre, instead of standing around with signs which may or may not give a chuckle if they are witty. Seriously, if you are that desperate for attention, you might as well put on a show.
Let’s be honest, in the event of a disaster most people will resort to a wacked out mindset of panic, disbelief and cling to whatever false sense of security they've got. Not many people are trained for those situations and are quite helpless no matter what they have. I'm not defending this guy, I think it's just as bad as hoarding unnecessary crap.
For crying out loud! It's not Alex, it's the auto mod. Yeah, it catches even the slightest thing, such a possible dirty word inside another legit word. Of course it's annoying, but for the love of Cthulhu and all that is holy, stop screaming persecution where there isn't any.
To me honest, you are the only advocate here that is making sense. Most are going off on a tangent, but you clearly defined that you were offended by "ugly manga chicks" and also called "dudes" in the same sentence, but you fail to offer a solution on what you feel unoffensive language is in such a situation. So what, Alex has had no contact at all with TS/TV culture, and probably hasn't been to a manga convention either so isn't used to what goes on at those either. Feel free to let him know, but reading you twitter page, I think you jumped the gun and got angry because of a misunderstanding and started yelling persecution.
Are you saying that Neatorama has a responsibility for the opinions of all the people who comment on their boards? You are being very vague and making a generalized comment to a group of people, without evidence of who said what. You can call out an individual on their ignorance and inform them where they have offended you, but nobody (I repeat NOBODY), does not have the right to not be offended. You want to feel persecuted, go right ahead, but don't blame a blog for the actions of others for the actions of others that they had no control over. If you knew anything about the GLBT (Currently there's an alphabet soup after that I haven't kept up with), you would know that censorship is the enemy, and extreme moderation does more bad then good. I am more then ready to open up a can of worms, but please, lets stick to the facts so we can actually get somewhere. Also keep in mind there are people that want to shoot their load, not care who it hits, then stand there and laugh. Can't do anything about those people, but please don't blame the blog.
This is a complete non-issue, except for a transgender advocate who is reading way more into this then needed. Apparently also felt the need to get her twitter crew involved, so it's nothing you need to worry about again since they were only brought here by the stink.
Actually it's a donation run program, and yes they are endangered, because of the introduction of foreign species like the stoat and other things.

Fair enough, but know that Alex hasn't blocked me off yet with my random douchebaggery and opinions. He's very tolerant.

I don't like "Y", he's a damn flip-flopper and he asks too man damn questions that go nowhere.
