Working against him is the fact that he's been warned about this before.
A lot of CW threads start with a link to some CW "bomb." And then the poster discusses what happened, and offers his thoughts on it. This is well and good. But we do have the rule @netstack cited, that you aren't supposed to just post something for the purpose of talking about how terrible your outgroup is.
Several times now, @StableOutshoot has posted this sort of "Crime is legal because of leftists" boo outgroup polemic and been told to put more effort into offering something to discuss rather than just "Can you believe what Those People did this week?"
Someone without a habit of doing this might get away with it, or we might rap them a little and say "Hey, this is just naked culture warring, do you have something to say here besides "leftists bad"?"
But he does have a habit of doing this and has been warned already. So now he's earning timeouts.

I am skeptical that this is being asked in good faith (and on a three month old thread). At best, it is idle (nosy) curiosity. At worst, you are fishing for something, or you're just expressing doubt in a roundabout way.
No, I am not going to clarify. You may believe what you wish.

Yeah, and you know, we usually let obvious alts who were almost certainly banned previously post, even if your new account has to spend some time in new user filtered purgatory for a while, because Zorba wants us to let people prove they've reformed, and we are wary enough of false positives to usually go "Eh, whatever" rather than being hair-trigger on alts.
But we do usually ban (or not even let out of the filter) someone who is obviously the alt of a banned user.
You've been on the borderline for a while, and the combination of obnoxious dunking on the community and outright bragging that you were banned for "being too insulting to the favored subgroups here" (never once has anyone been able to substantiate this, because the "favored subgroups" are always "people I don't like and want to insult and think I should be able to break the rules to insult") is enough for me to say bye-bye. Yes, I know you'll be back. Yes, I know you think you are very sneaky because you can't see our eye rolls when you start posting with a new account.

I was into anime back when a lot of anime viewing was literally bootleg tapes from Japan.
It has gotten a lot more mainstream now, but I assure you, the freaks, gooners, and fetishists have always been part of the scene (both on screen and off). But they've been part of every fannish community. Comics, SF, RPGs, etc.
I haven't been to Otakon but from the pics I've seen (and people I know who go), it's really no worse than most fan cons. 14-year-olds in thongs saying "Slap my ass" would likely be escorted out.
Who is "they"? The specific individuals named in the posts? Leftists? A particular leftist element? All Democrats?
The OP just got banned because the post was not much more than "Look at what THEY did this week!" Your post is no better- worse, actually.
I told you last time that you have taken all the slack we can give you and you still can't help yourself. It's frankly amazing how many warnings you have been given, compared to how few actual timeouts you have been given.
But if you are going to say "they" like crime, "they" have a strategy, etc., you need to talk about specific groups, not big nebulous groups like "the left." Unless you want to defend the proposition that literally everyone on "the left" likes criminals and dislikes people who arrest criminals. In which case, go ahead and make that case. But you won't, because while you may tell yourself you actually believe that, you know that it is in fact ridiculous and unsupportable, but rather than admitting that such absurd generalizations about leftists are in fact absurd, you'd much rather get the dopamine hit of ranting about how evil "they" (all of them) are.
You (and posters like you) are the exact mirror of the worst people on reddit, the people who have turned reddit to shit, the people who have made X and Bluesky hellholes (with different polarities): rather than grapple with opposing beliefs with a modicum of nuance, rather than recognizing that people believe things and do things for reasons other than being evil for the sake of evil, it's just so much more fun, more delicious, more pleasurable, to sneer and snarl and bark and get a good Two Minute Hate going with your fellow haters about how very much you hate Those People.
The Motte is not supposed to be that kind of place. I mod people like you not because my left-of-center sentiments are offended, but because I look at all the places where my mostly left-of-center friends post- Facebook, reddit, elsewhere- and see how casually, unthinkingly, and without opposition they post exactly the sort of thing you do except about you, comfortable in the knowledge that they can say you and people like you are murderous fascists who hate truth and beauty and desire only to cause harm because you love evil for the sake spite, and no one there will ever challenge them, let alone mod them. No one there will ever say "Hey, are you sure about that, do you really think they are literally golems of evil who do things for no other reason than unthinking hatred and spite and ignorance?" (Because you'll get dogpiled at best, banned at worst.)
And you want this place to be like that.
Banned for three days. Think about whether you really want a rightist reddit. If you do, stay away.
