I literally called Dave Filoni "effeminate". That was all. They SWARMED on me. I absolutely refuse to believe that any honest sampling of grown-ups are that hysterically politically correct to be so outraged. One guy there was apparently being too sincere about it, he was talking about how he is "transgendered" (don't know or want to know what that even means) and so calling somebody "effeminate" was "offensive"......
There has recently been an influx of....well....girly shills at TFN who literally come across as LFL employees masquerading as fans.....
It was insane. You can go to 1,000 other message boards and never again see apparently grown men behaving with such girlish hysteria. Ever.......
Finally, I have been banned there (for calling Filoni "effeminate". And, okay, when they swarmed on me I did double-down and observe that, in videos, Filoni also has a lisp and a womanly gait.
But they're a bunch of girly, ignorant (you would be amazed at the rank stupidity in the average post mixed in with all the, "Ahsoka is the best Star Wars character ev-ah!!!" quotes from 30 year old dudes), catty, stooges........
Some may have interpreted your characterization as gay-bashing, which might explain why they decided to ban you, (regardless of their explanation). That's a big PC no-no, especially if he really is gay or transgendered.
Personally, I can't stand TFN or the attitude of most there, so as a female, I wouldn't refer to the behavior by those at TFN as "girly" (especially when the word is used as a pejorative) mainly because I'm fairly sure most of the posters there are male, and DO act like adolescent and pre-adolescent boys tend to act on occasion.
Besides, you're giving them a lot of credit, assuming that there's a whole lot of "grown men" there! ;-)
