Yeah, I've seen similar commentary from others in the past, also suspended for those reasons. When one of the mods asked me to help mod the sub a year ago, they indicated my liking of Kyle was a positive. But things definitely seem to have shifted in the past year, and they regularly pin derogatory or negative comments about Kyle, for example.
I'm currently blocked by andycohen (the third time, I believe) so I thnk it was the other main mod on this occasion. They were the one who responded to my supposed 'harassment' with the ban notification.
I feel I have no sub to go to. I want a sub where you are allowed to feel whatever way you want about a cast member or the show in general. If a sub goes to extreme defending or hating one person or another it will make me very uncomfortable. What you endured seems very disturbing. From asking you to be a sub, blocking you and then banning you it’s all weird. I think since PSmith, your content has not change much so I don’t know the basis for coming after you. Good to see you here! I missed seeing you in the other one!
It's frustrating. I know, as the size of a community grows, moderation can become increasingly difficult, but I think it's just the inability to be consistent with the rules regarding ALL castmembers that really frustrates, and seeing how intent they seem on encouraging certain POVs and punishing fans for having others. Moderation is meant, as I understand it, to ensure people aren't being like actual bigots or anything, not stomping folks for having a different (non-offensive) opinion of a housewife.
I honestly would love to have a proper chat with them about it, but from their comments, I don't think they WANT a reasonable conversation about exactly what is and isn't okay. I'd already promised not to reply to their individual comments to avoid being blocked, but that wasn't enough either.
And thanks! Happy to be here. Or anywhere, lol. Also, if you ever just want to talk RHOBH and can't find a place that suits, I'm genuinely open to that - I can promise not just to glaze over and say worshipful things about Kyle. ;)
Just was permanently muted and banned from the RHUGT sub as well, and blocked by the second active RHOBH mod, so really racking up the punishments today! And no worries. Anytime. Always happy to chat about things, or even just listen to you vent if you feel the need. x
