Well, this is either epic trolling or....wff?
According to Roxy's own words, he has just admitted to being a "hateful transohobic bigot, condemmed by the community". And when someone assumed this was just Roxy being Roxy, presumably more of that special manner of expression Cullen328 loves, he explicitly clarified "this was me admitting my failings, acknowledging what I have done and the condemnation of the community. I was not being ironic. This was the accused admitting his guilt."
Mental.
If not just trolling it has to be some pathetic attempt to layer more cream on the poor me pie, In the hopes of attracting a couple more support votes for a topic ban. How else to read this....
At this stage, everything I say is being picked apart, it is heartbreaking for me to acknowledge my failings in this way.
His words
are being picked apart, for good reason. I think this nonsense might be a deliberate attempt to distract from the fact that yet again, he was asked directly to explain the comment that really pissed everyone off....
But when you said "standard transexual hounding" you crossed a pretty thick line that poisons future interaction with anyone, not just on sex-related articles. I can only speak for myself but, I think if you responded to that issue specifically, rather than dancing around with "this is a confirmation of the trope" or whatever, then we could get somewhere. Your statement for Tryptofish to forward does not even address that. Good faith demands I assume it was an oversight rather than a deliberate ignorance. So please, respond to that issue now. The choice is yours now. --Golbez (talk) 18:30, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
I’m going to second Golbez by saying you can either explain what you meant by “transexual hounding” and apologize unequivocally or get blocked permanently. That’s an oversimplification but you have massively higher odds of staying on this wiki if you do that. Dronebogus (talk) 18:36, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
....and he just, well, hasn't.
Cullen328 is nowhere to be seen, unwilling to translate or decipher Roxy's cryptic reply, lest others have been unable to see what the great Roxy is really saying in his very special way.
To normal humans who can simply read and write, It looks for all world like he doesn't want to explain it, because there is no explanation that doesn't make him look like a deliberate transphobe.
The fact his vague responses continue to refer to the science and policy....
I follow the science, I am not any of those hateful things. Somehow wikipedia policy in this area has allowed this to happen. I am completely at a loss.
....surely means the reason for his comment seems all too clear to infer.
He definitely thinks Wikipedia policy on trans identity is in error.
He definitely thinks "science" backs him up.
Rather than making this case on the policy talk pages, he prefers to make random comments that reflect his views, perhaps precisely to cause offence and bait people into making complaints against him, so he can then grandstand about how he is the victim of hounding from the trans lobby and effect change that way. If we even assume he has a goal in mind and he isn't just whining about how the world is moving too fast for him and he wants to get off.
You can understand his error. This was an effective tactic during the Eric Corbett era. Feminists tried to report him, but they were the ones who ended up in the dock, sanctioned. While not unscathed, Eric got what he wanted, vindication that he is better seen as an "equal opportunities asshole", and has no issue with insulting anyone from any group. There were signs that he was actually quite the unreconstructed sexist, given how he would disrespect his wife on Wikipedia, but of course, that's not considered actionable.
It was as it is now with Roxy, people in power on Wikipedia asserted that whenever he touched on issues like gender and Wikipedia, Eric's comments were provocative and incisive, In a good way. He was apparently trying to highlight....something. Precisely because Eric was not a deep thinker or very smart, he was never able to say what this was, and even if he could, the lazy prick was never the one to propose policies changes.
Feeding on hints and half baked angry missives (he admittedly had quite good language skills for a wild animal) people far cleverer than him wisely counselled him to say nothing, recognising that all he was really after was an end to all this nonsense about caring what gender Wikipedia editors are or how editor speak to each other, which they knew would only take Wikipedia even further away from a place where it can continue to have brand value, and thus survive.
Roxy needs to be fucked off, completely. It is now beyond doubt that his need to play silly buggers and treat his fellow editors like they're idiots, is equally if not more hard coded in who he is, than his discriminatory beliefs.
Either that, or he is just far too clever to make himself understood by the lesser lifeforms Wikipedia expects him to collaborate with. I'm quite sure that is how Eric Corbett felt, when he wasn't drunk, or climbing a tree in search of a sugar fix.
You can find Eric Corbett these days contributing to the user generated encyclopedia set up to allow really clever writers to work in peace, undisturbed by morons, gender activists or the so called "civility warriors". It was set up intially for Corbett and a few of his more angry confederates, but I'm sure they were open for applications, from the right people. Smart old white straight dudes and sufficient deferential members of the lesser demographics.
It must still be online and a roaring success by now? The fact a couple of those confederates quietly weasled their way back into Wikipedia, is surely entirely unrelated!
