Flashbacks to that one time someone commented on an official anniversary teaser on Tumblr saying something along the lines of "I hope the anniversary surprise is that aequorin gets fired"
And that time where people were genuinely pissed that she locked a thread about cannibalism and were calling her specifically out on it for being a fun-hating asshole
I mean you really aren't required to like a mod or agree with everything they do but some people are so uncomfortably bold about their hate for aeq that it makes me wonder if they even see her as a human person. I think people also often don't consider that she doesn't make every move to lock/moderate a thread all by herself; there's probably some discussion between her and other devs behind a lot of the moderation decisions and announcements she makes, but since she's the one posting, it's assumed that she alone decided that you "don't deserve to have fun".
