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.

    Oh, no, you’re misunderstanding how drag feels. Drag doesn’t feel like a victim at all. In fact, drag feels quite fortunate not to be the kind of person who gets mad at out of context quotes. It’s kind of life-affirming, to be the sort of person who struggles to think that way.

      Dude, give it a rest. You’re entire third person, trolling, abusive comments, and always playing the autism and “i dont understand” card is old and tired.

      Im honestly surprised you haven’t been banned from every server yet like your old “dronerights” accounts were last year.

      You say you’re not playing the victum, yet here we are in a topic you created to whine.

        You’re welcome to think every nonbinary person is the same individual if you like. But drag’s intention with this post was to warn others that LemmyShitpost isn’t a safe space. Not everything in the world is about drag, silly.
