every time I see one of those "AI slop" memes somehow pivot into complaints about queer people, Pride Month, pronouns, DEI, etc, I go to the profile and see the same names: Perfidious_Redt, Mocking-Eristic, Fruta-Puta-Tuta, Resilient-Sphere, reddi-tosser.

These are all confirmed alt accounts of the notorious mod who seems to love bashing queer people, AI slop memes, and AI Dungeons and Dragons slop. worse: he comments on his OWN posts with things like “that sounds right to me” “LOL” or “Big time” just to juice his own sad engagement I guess?

hey maybe it's a coincidence and 5 diff people all have the exact same posting habits and spend all day in the exact same niche communities sharing each other’s posts. Or maybe a subreddit obsessed with "AI slop" is generating… its own synthetic engagement??

and that's not even getting into his accounts that have already been suspended, which all have the same pattern of anti-Pride posts: Turdible-Shart, swagoverlord1993, Imagine_Truly_Caring, and FastData6969. Interestingly, after a few of these accounts were suspended, the sub added new rules to ‘stay on topic’ and started posting just generic bland slop memes until the heat blows over

if one person with multiple accounts is responsible for so much hateful content, that matters bc it creates the illusion that bigoted views are far more common than they really are

honest question: does this site have rules around moderators using multiple accounts to engage with their own posts or promote their own communities? Because it feels a lot like the “human” version of botting.

screenshots attached.  curious if anyone else noticed the same pattern.

its like they don’t understand we want to see photos of THE FOOD not slopclipart

I feel compelled to add a positive review into the world. for all the horror stories of shows on this tour, in Toronto Ian was surprisingly upbeat, chatty and in good form. Kept saying this was their best show of the tour. Only shouted at one talker in the crowd and did it with humor. Didnt walk off in the middle of any songs. Cutter was fantastic. Seven seas was a bit choppy, letting the crowd sing the chorus doesn’t really work for that one as it’s not a huge single. and it's odd because the chorus isn't even particularly hard to sing on that song, feels like it should still be in his range

That brings up the whole chorus issue: It is disappointing. but would you rather the Bunnymen not play live anymore, or see them and Ian bails out of 70% of the choruses? It's up to the individual. when the crowd doesn't sing along it feels weird, like the wheels coming off the train. and Ian tells the crowd before the songs 'sing along with this one if you can, if you know it, if you want to...' it feels a bit like a guy on the street asking you for money, you dont have to, but if you have it mate I'd really appreciate it...

There were a few moments where that old operatic higher vocal register came out of its cave and it was awesome. but they were brief and surrounded by a lot of the lower octave Reed style talk singing that he clearly finds easier and is good at, but just isn't as special and spellbinding. Keyboardist was great and added some muso piano moments that worked well. Will was great and had a few cool improv moments. Bassist and drummer were just okay imo

Will was giving the crowd ‘easy, be quiet’ hands to let us know to shut up during Ocean Rain like he was Ian’s lion tamer. Would see again
