I have been banned from unpopularopinion for exposing person defending genocide and use of human shields by IDF.
One of the users in unpopularopinion thread was complaining about someone calling him a “fascist”

In response I did paste a screenshot of his comment claiming IDF are not using human shields, it is Hamas who do that:

… And the mod of unpopularopinion banned me. I can only guess he is a another genocide apologist.
Are you referring to your accusation of hypocrisy and me then talking about the definition of the term “human shield” - even though that’s not what you meant? Because if so, that wasn’t me intentionally misrepresenting what you said, but rather me genuinely not understanding what I was being accused of and trying to respond anyway, hoping that somewhere in my word salad you might find an answer to it.
What I could’ve done instead was keep asking you to be more specific - but then that could’ve just been interpreted as more sealioning (i.e., demanding pointless explanations). Was that the only example of me doing this, or were there others? I honestly struggle to give you a broad explanation here, but I can definitely explain my reasoning behind individual replies I’ve made to people in these threads.
As for people calling me a fascist - like I said earlier, that had nothing to do with what I’ve said about the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. I’m not sure anyone called me a fascist for that - not even Felix, at least not explicitly. He was just pointing out what he saw as the absurdity of me wondering why people call me that, while (in his view) I was expressing clearly fascist views.
The implicit accusations of fascism came in a thread I made a while back where I was asking about a heavily moderated discussion community - one where mean-spirited, hostile replies wouldn’t be tolerated. People interpreted that as me advocating for “free speech absolutism,” as if I wanted a space like Twitter where anything goes and people get banned for pushing back. But that clearly wasn’t what I was asking for.
That thread got a lot of people suspicious about my motives, asking what kind of topics I’d want to discuss there, and claiming that a space like that would inevitably become a breeding ground for fascism and pedofilia. So it’s not that people directly called me a fascist - but in my view, it was heavily implied in how I was treated.
