Something was different here, it was anger towards what was being said.

That’s what I found most off-putting about the whole thing. It was very clearly about what was being said.

Did you not read the above post? Threads get derailed all the time. In fact, that very same thread got derailed into some meta-discussion about how one individual poster’s perception on the deal changed and mods said… absolutely nothing. Because nobody cares when threads get derailed, everyone just chooses whether to engage with the new direction or not (and mostly people simply just don’t).
It’s pretty interesting that mods felt the need to interject on that particular derail by singling out the people who felt it was important to bring up but not the people shouting them down and telling them to “#### off loser”…
But casual anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric seems to be more acceptable than thread derails around here anyway.
