I've put in my vote in the mod chat already and am posting this publicly to voice my opinion further.

The truth of the reason behind the rule is that the other mods are just tired of the long ass report queue that follows every Claire-related post. Lots of transphobic comments get reported and the other mods are just too tired to deal with it anymore. Reasonable to a degree, but also you can't just ban talking about a trans person because of transphobes.

Take the same concept but change the context- it's the same as banning talking about gay people because of homophobes, or banning talking about black people because of racists.

It's ridiculous, you can't just do that.

Might get removed as a mod for this post but oh well. It eez wot it eez.

But I am le tired.

Edit: there are 3 black squirrels and 2 grey, but they are all ‘Eastern Grey Squirrels’

If anyone wants to try this themselves, I had to tape over the mouth hole once it got too big so that they’d work on the eye holes a bit.
