This complaint is such an admission. They can’t point to a single similarly between Israel and the bad guys in the movie except, “nation with technology advanced weaponry being deployed against unarmed civilians,” and they’re not even disputing that that’s an accurate depiction of what’s happening. It’s not like they’re saying, “this movie parallels Hamas propaganda.” They’re saying, “depicting colonial genocide negatively is anti-Israel.”

Honest question, what do you think a Tankie is?

I think the bot uptick is a direct result of the mod strike and API changes. A lot of mods left, and a lot of the auto-mod tools they were using from third-party developers got nuked, so there are less people moderating with worse tools.
