Just curious to know why he got banned, the only thing i knew about him was that he posted a lot of cartoons stuff.

I was wondering this too. I suppose it is possible he infringed someone's copyright somehow in one of his uploads, and the owner got in touch with the site staff?

Kind of sucks to be banned for one mistake, but I don't know if it was the first time or anything. It also might not be a permanent ban?

Edit: I did some research and I now found out why OurDeerLeader was banned permanently. He was posting sexual content of minors from Star vs. the Forces of Evil that made the mods very uncomfortable. And in the past few years his comments are very hateful and racist.

the fucker shot my dog because it was a liberal or literal or something?

He said Big Chungus wasn't funny

Thank god he was banned then

Once again the shadow overlords of r/BigChungus oppress those of us who don't heehee hawhaw at Big Chungus with their ban hammers of the bourgeoise

Okay, that's out of my system now.

As was the case with the previous time I felt obligated to respond to this type of thread there is a long history.

For starters, OurDeerLeader (henceforth referred to as ODL) from the onset was always suspected to be an alt of another user that was banned. We never could prove it beyond a reasonable doubt, but ODL joined very soon after that ban (June 2018), contextual information in their posts pointed to them living in the same part of the world, and both the subjects of images they uploaded and the type of comments (especially the bad ones) they made were essentially identical. There was also a third account that had similar post mannerisms that was active and banned around this time as well.

This was evident to at least a few of the mods at least within the first few months of them having joined which put them on our radar. It should be obvious that the fact that ODL was on the site for over three years before being banned shows that this was not the ultimate reason for the ban, but I feel at this point I have to state this explicitly.

In both the cases of ODL and the suspected "original account" the content was very similar. Huge amount of image uploads, largely from western cartoons. This was a factor that did lead some mods, myself included, to hesitate on finally banning for both of them. If all a user contributes are comments, unless they are legitimate suggestions for improving the articles, there isn't a lot there of inherent value to the purpose of the site itself. However, media uploads that aren't borderline porn are obvious and easy to see as having more tangible merit, especially if they are sourced and tagged properly. I want it to be made clear that this was considered when banning decisions were made.

ODL has a long history of "hot takes" in the comments.

• All liberals are murderous sociopaths

• Feminists should not be allowed to exist.

• Commercials asking men to be more aware of issues implies the ad creators see men as evil and need to be exterminated.

• Unironic slippery slope from questionable Youtube policy to the holocaust

• The only reason someone might hesitate to come forward about being sexually abused/raped is because they are lying.

• Bringing up Jihad when literally no one else was talking about it.

• Open hatred of the French

A lot of these were warned/suspended over, probably should have lead to ban back then. Again, hesitancy with banning users that made tangible contributions. Also, if you notice, many of these are relatively old, back when I used to micromanage the site. I have since prioritized my actual life. I'm bringing this up because without that context, only seeing several years old comments might give the implication that ODL changed. I want to stress that I do not actually know what there comment history has been more recently.

However, and interestingly, while it does show them with a history of breaking rules, these type of comments aren't actually the final reason ODL was banned.

ODL, with as many media uploads as they made, perhaps unsurprisingly, had collected quite a few warnings on that front as well. From the minor of subjective opinions in the metadata (this is what the comments are for) to tactical censoring and other over the line sexually suggestive content. As should be well understood for anyone who has been on the site for any reasonable amount of time, what being "over the line sexually suggestive" means is not always 100% obvious, which is why ODL had several of these warnings. After a certain period of time though, if you keep getting these, it is difficult to believe that you are trying to follow the rules.

Some of you hopefully saw All Tomorrows and that it got an entry on KYM due to a flash in the pan style fandom. The story is essentially a Sci-Fi cosmic horror where aliens with tentacles tails known as the Qu modify people physically into misshapen parodies of the human form.

ODL uploaded an image that… showed several Qu holding a young looking human male (what some would describe as a "twink" and gave the appearance of being a minor) against his will in the air by the neck, and undressing him. As in, one of the tentacles was visibly pulling down his underwear with only said tentacle obscuring genitalia. Another Qu's tentacle was obscured behind the human's leg, and given the direction of the tentacle, and nature of what was depicted and art style, it gave the implication that this tentacle was penetrating him.

The inherently deliberately disturbing nature of of the source material was the only reason why I suggested not to act stronger, but it gave the impression of aliens choking and raping a boy.

What finally did it yesterday was ODL uploaded two images of male characters who are minors in their respective shows, and gave the same general impression in the images themselves (aka, not "aged up" versions), in tight feminine clothing, in poses that were "showing off". On their own they weren't the worst thing ever (still warn worthy), but coming right after the Qu related image incident… along with the long history of other things, mods decided to stop kicking what was felt as their inevitable ban further down the road.

Is he ok?

Damn it we keep losing active users and we hardly get any to replace them (and the most toxic ones get to stay)

man was alt-right, and when i say alt-right, i mean genuinely alt-right
the kiddie porn doesn't help either
unlike with Icecane i could immediately tell i didn't like him

Aw, but his open hatred of the French was the best part…

Apperantly lamenting the loss of active users and posting a song is not liked by some people

Weird

Jesus, I knew about his nonsensical politicial opinions but the creepy stuff Is news to me

RIP Bozo

I think you're gonna have to look into Jill's post before yours, because it showcases a string of toxic behavior from ODL, and makes your post claiming he wasn't toxic look silly in context

I think you should read better because i say nothing of that sort i simply lament how the past months we keep losing active users as well as the fact that there are many toxic users here that have not gotten the boot for some reason!!

Except a toxic user did in fact get the boot in this case

Can't get more toxic than posting near-porn of minors

Yes clearly but some others who are also toxic (and even more in some cases if you ask me) are still here (which is what i said and and some people proceeded to put words in my mouth instead)

Always the ones you least suspect. I never payed much attention to what he was doing beyond uploading images, and never came along any of his rants about anything. Seems he would have been better to lurk around 4chan than here.

So, another alt-right user who mainly uploaded cartoons and cartoon porn got the boot? I don’t think this was the first time, nor could it be the last. This guy gave me Hrom vibes.

Good to know I'm not the only one who had those feelings.

Reading up what he did, what the hell. I think I liked some of his images, I had no idea who he was under the hood. Misogyny, pedophilia, extremism, possible holocaust denial/neo-nazi and racism. He really missed none of the asshole traits.

>Open Hatred of the French

Ironically, I actually feel good when someone whom I think is from the same old crowd of asshole hates us.

It's validating, would feel worse if it was someone who I actually respected.

I just realized that the guy who was slamming the media claiming they supported the film "Cuties" (the one that got Netflix in a lot of heat) and later down the road got banned for posting overly sexualized minors (granted they were fictional).

RIP in piss ODL. let us sing your national anthem along with poochyena.

Hey I just found out it's my turn to go crazy.
Anyone have an idea how a radlib goes crazy without becoming an ancap?

Been a while since a tankie has posted here so… that

What? No that's not possible, that could've never happened to someone like ODL.

what is it with alt-right being so adamantly anti-degeneracy but being completely engrossed in it. Is this like the closeted gay socially conservative minister of the 90s?

'Morality' types being vile is probably due to the same reason that those who preach equality have led to unequal politburos, nationalists have often destroyed their countries, democratic interventionists have helped terrorists and dictators and the 'free trade' economic liberals have created unmeritocratic monopolies that are leading to Neo-feudalism.
