User blog:Reimaru Natsukaze/How can this be.

First off, let me say something.

I put no one as my friend. Nor do I put one as an enemy. Think of that as you will, for I will not care if one extends my ban, or if one thinks of me differently. If I can't even come back here ever, then go right ahead. That's just one more person who will not care.

Also, if this gets deleted, then I will personally lose faith in this Wiki's judgement and leadership skills only, and the aforementioned action will be considered censorship (a.k.a. an unwillingness to listen or acknowledge one's argument or claim and reaching a mutual understanding). As will the silent majority, I'm assuming. But that's only me.

Long ago, there existed totalitarian and fascist governments who forced others under their rule., who created all the rules and bent them just for their own gain. That's right, I'm going there. This government is a puppet oligarchy, with Sel having major, MAJOR influence, under the pretense of having friends, not supporting the public as a whole, which, in my personal opinion, is what a government should be doing. This is what I have seen.

Supporting friends, while understandably acceptable by human standards, is not acceptable when one puts friendships over the good of the community.

"Letting the mods handle this" isn't a legitimate reason for this type of government. It's basically the same thing as censorship in itself. Why? Because other's opinions aren't being taken into account. Why we aren't taking a republican stance on this, I cannot comprehend. Maybe because it's not that we don't care, but it's that WE CAN'T CARE.

Ironically, this is what you have turned me, and a WHOLE TON of other people, into. Just a bunch of unfeeling robots with no soul for taking anything seriously. Perhaps this is a last sort of flame for me, if you Admins decide to ban me forever, or maybe just Sel. Maybe all of you in power have that right to freedom of speech. The Admins, the Mods, those who are "friends" with those who are in power.

True, being a robot gets you out of trouble. It lets you ignore even the best of trolls, the worst of leaders. But one fucking issue with that.

It doesn't solve anything.

I am that, and I recognize that I may seem a hypocrite by saying this. Nevertheless, though, I believe that both not giving a fuck can get you out of trouble and not solving anything. I'm not saying that being a robot is a good OR a bad thing, though.

It just is.

And that's the advantage of an apathetic person. We can see things objectively. And by objectively, I mean both sides of the argument. That's why I can afford to be a hypocrite. That's why I can support both sides of the argument. When one side gets overwhelmed, I support it to reach a truth. I am ever changing.

Recent attitudes with certain users have dettered me from doing exactly that, though. When one fears a certain opinion, what do they do?

Of course, they try and get rid of it, whether it's by pure physical strength, numbers, online power, reputation, or the length of their response, apparently.

I can't be what I want to be. And that honestly makes me frustrated.

Just like how the immigrants felt when they were oppressed by the Red Scare. Just like how women were persecuted in the Salem Witch Trials. Just like how a hundred thousand African Americans and more lived in fear of the white supremacy.

And what's worse, people won't listen. I'm not saying that we should fire any of the Admins, necessarily.

I just want the way the Admins lead the Wiki to change.

I want them to improve as a government, so that both the government and the community can benefit. This isn't pure troll posting. This is dissatisfaction with the experience in chat.

I don't want them to just listen to a person who is just a friend. Arguments either stay in the Admins, or they share with everyone what's gonna happen, and have their own thoughts. It's honestly not fair to the community to let a single denizen's opinion affect what the leadership does or doesn't do.

I want this to be a community where we don't have to worry about raising concerns about certain issues.

If this doesn't happen, then I don't think we'll improve. At all. Because I'm both satisfied at the good things, and dissatisfied at the bad things.

One might say that there is no such thing as perfection. That's just an excuse to stop. You don't stop eating just because you can't ever be full.

It's because you want to live.

And that's what I'm finally doing, after a long time of starvation.

Eating.

TL;DR There is an issue of censorship and power that the Fanon leadership has yet to recognize. I'm just the one trying to raise awareness about it. Nothing more.
