So, you guys will have noticed by now that I was suspended on Twitter. The stated reason for this is that the BroSR users mass-reported me as "threatening violence", specifically referring to a tweet I did to major anti-semite BroSR poster "bdubs", who was one of the brigaders and claimed it was hypocritical of me to be blocking brosr accounts as the "free speech" guy, to which I responded "sorry, nazis only get the hammer" and then immediately blocked him.  The 'hammer' was meant to refer to the ban hammer, of course, but they used that one word as an excuse to mass report and try to have me suspended for 'violent threats'.

I've already filed an appeal, but what you guys could do that would be helpful would be to get regular OSR gamers on twitter to make posts mentioning the correct twitter address (I think it would be @twittersupport but if you think it's something else let me know) calling for me to be reinstated and pointing out that the people reporting against me were doing so in bad faith.  That would be really helpful. Spread the word.

On a related note. Any BroSR poster or any poster supportive of the BroSR on theRPGsite will be immediately banned for promoting neo-nazi ideology.

Should be an easy appeal. I don't do Twitter cuz it's the same pizza as Big Purp. But I get you need to be there and stuff. Didn't know the BrOSR had any real following. Wait, didn't you have Jeffro on IC?

Yes, we did have Jeffro on IC, before he exposed himself with openly anti-semitic tweets on twitter.

I just read the tweet from Diversity & Dragons asking about you being banned. He asked if anyone knows what happened.

I figured all of the Brosr flagged your tweets.

Yup. They no doubt mass flagged. Spread the word on twitter please, call for my suspension to be lifted. Make sure everyone knows who did this.

Seems to me that the anti-fascists never actually go against real fascists and nazis. Probably too afraid of getting their asses beaten.

That's absolutely true. There's no doubt a bunch of Wokists who will be cheering me being banned for standing up to the people they're afraid to.

What's the brOSR? I not very familiar with it.

That's because they're pro-fascists who don't know what they're talking about.  If you're a pack of violent political thugs opposing the democratic government, you're pro-fascist.

I've heard the term used by Jeffro Johnson, who Pundit did a video with back in 2018.

Johnson published a book called "Appendix N: The Literary History of Dungeons & Dragons". He pushes for AD&D played a particular way.

I'm not sure about how he's a nazi.

Incidentally I see that there are people claiming that I'm lying, that I was blocked on twitter for having sockpuppets or other things.

Here, Twitter literally told me:

For the record I have NEVER used a sockpuppet on Twitter (or anywhere else). None of the accounts that certain people are claiming are sockpuppets of me are real. If I were to guess, they're being created either by the BroSR racists or by some opportunist who is already mentally ill from stalking me, like Poncho Goblin (who seems to conveniently "discover" these accounts even before the accounts post anything).

So I'd be very grateful if people will refer to the proof I shared above if you see anyone on twitter claiming I was banned for sockpuppeting.

Jeffro Johnson came out as a full-blown Anti-Semite on Twitter, posting openly anti-semitic tweets including one that directly blamed a "Cabal of Jews" for why people don't like his manly pulp fiction stories.

This was obviously after we had him on Inappropriate Characters, where I just thought of him as a cult leader of a weirdo group of anti-OSR fundamentalists. I had at one point asked him point-blank whether he had any racist or anti-semitic affiliations and he denied it, and I made the  mistake of not investigating further.

In retrospect, its pretty clear he was always this way. I'm going to do a video, probably (or talk about it on Inappropriate Characters) where I explain how for YEARS now Jeffro has been associated with Neo-Nazis.

Anti-Semitism goes way beyond Nazis & Neo-Nazis ofc.

I don't KNOW that he's a nazi or some other flavor of socialist or maybe a muslim. What I do know because I saw it with my own eyes is that the guy IS openly anti-semitic (a PoV shared by many other flavors of socialism and by muslims) and that many of his followers are anti-semitic also.
