The original post by @spujb@lemmy.cafe was a woman wearing a shirt that says “Italians do it better”. Someone asked what they do, and drag explained the joke as best as drag understood the intention, though drag disagrees that Luigi killed that CEO. It’s not a call for violence, it’s an explanation of a joke. Other people interpreted the joke the same way.
Less than an hour later, Flying Squid banned drag for that explanation, and for saying Luigi is not guilty. According to Flying Squid, referencing the CEO shooter case and saying Luigi didn’t do it is a call for violence. Expressing support for Luigi Mangione is a bannable offense on LemmyShitpost.
EDIT: The Picard Maneuver responded to drag’s appeal and reversed the ban. Drag will be deleting this post as it is no longer relevant to the current state of affairs on Lemmy Shitpost.
That’s not what happened: https://lemmy.world/comment/13257428
Here’s Squid saying his daughter uses she/they:
And here he is talking about banning drag for using a ‘they’ pronoun to refer to his daughter and making a point of using ‘her’ in italics instead:
He seems to be convinced he’s acting in her best interests by not letting anyone call her ‘they’. He says using her preferred pronouns is misgendering. It’s some kind of twisted backwards version of trans rhetoric where you ignore what children want to be called and act like that’s respect.
