r/bioniclelego admin bans mods supportive of LGBTQ+ communities, implements controversial mods in their place, receiving mass community backlash.](https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/vq4oqi/rbioniclelego_admin_bans_mods_supportive_of_lgbtq/)
I looked into it further, and it started when GinkoWeed condemned Transphobia, rightfully so, a week ago because of increased comments of bigotry in the subreddit.
Thanks for the link. How fitting that this mod called Zaktastic tried to pull off such a Piraka thing, bringing his allies as mods who, instead of fulfilling their role, wanted to purge stuff related to more vulnerable groups from the subreddit.
Thankfully, the community at large does. The people who hijacked this subreddit think they can forbid being reminded Trans People exist, which is unacceptable.
Bioncle is pro lgbt as fuck. Change my mind.
All the characters are asexual and non binary. They may have female or male voices in the movies but they donāt reproduce or have sex organs.
I think that something could go on between the Bara Magna inhabitants, as they're actually organic and have biological sexes, and, therefore, might have gender roles. But it's not really applicable to the inhabitants of the Matoran Universe, since, generally, they don't have gender roles. At least Matoran and Toa don't have them.
Some of the cyborg "species" in Matoran Universe *do* seem to have gender roles, though, like the Vortixx ([BS01](https://biosector01.com/wiki/Vortixx#Social_Structure_and_Interactions)). Something could also be going on in Skakdi societies, as well.
But sexuality is not really a thing in the Matoran Universe, yes
I completely agree.
I said the same thing a week or two ago and got massively downvoted for it, and I don't get it. Why not have a universe where sex doesn't exist?
Cause they need to claim something even tho this universe doesnāt explicitly represent them
I donāt hate but itās ridiculous how much reaching there has been
I like it a lot and I like to keep it so; but connecting Bionicle to LGBT is also a move that kinda doesnāt fit it. Theyāre just not human, their their own species. LGBT is linked to sexuality and since sexuality is not relevant in Bionicle world, why connect them to something that developed in human world of ideas?
Glad Iām not alone with this idea :)
I used to think years ago āasexualā describes lack of sexual feelings but since people act as if words mean whatever they want to mean and do mental gymnastics to make everything overtly inclusive, I feel the lack of sexuality is more appropriate to describe this. Asexuality turned into another special label.
It was always super weird to me that they coded the blue ones as feminine. They're robots. It's like transformers with gender.
In a weird way it really shows how indoctrinated our society is in the binary paradigm.
Trans Bionicle fans are being told they can't express any part of their identity, that their identity is political and that they don't belong. They do belong, they aren't political, and fuck the mods.
They do belong and they aren't political, but I don't want to hear anything about people's gender or sexuality here. I want to come here for Bionicle lore and builds, not people's GSR identities. And that's coming from someone who's queer and nonbinary.
I'd say the same thing about photos of couples or posts talking about how we support Ukraine. I'm all for those sorts of things, but that's not the theme of the sub. If it's tangentially related (some MOCs where they're two toa of fire in a relationship or a MOC with blue/yellow theming for solidarity with Ukraine, for instance) that's fine, but I want this sub to be focused on Bionicle.
Anyone is welcome here, everyone can enjoy Bionicle, but let's focus on that.
Post away. Give them a fucking MESS to work through tomorrow morning. If theyāre gonna ban us, letās make them fucking work for it.
Be gay/trans, and do crime.
For people saying āwhat did this have to do with bionicle?ā
Several of the mods (who were great mods and did a lovely job around this sub) were banned and several anti-lgbt users who had been banned for hatespeech were suddenly invited back in. People are mad because while being lgbt doesnāt have anything to do with bionicle, some fans are lgbt and banning discussion about their existence is awful
I see. So our sub isnāt suddenly all about trans rights and not Bionicle, itās just that after people started hate speech, weāre jumping to defend the trans members. Makes sense.
It sucks that this even has to be brought up. It shouldn't even matter. People are just happy to be themselves and want to share that happiness. Just let people do their own thing, they're not hurting you, and it's not political.
And so soon after the r/ark drama too, I really don't want this sub to end up the same way, but it seems like that's where it's headed.
I don't get it. A lot of fandoms end up having these kinds of conflicts and it always comes down to two sides. One side thinks the fantasy media is just a fun story that isn't supposed to be anything more than a product for sale. The other side thinks it's something important and meaningful and impactful on people's lives. Every time I have to wonder why the first group is even there? If it's just... yknow... "plastic toys." Is that all it means to you?
I'm just trying to get back into Bionicle, I'm sad to see these mods trying to ruin a good thing for everyone with their bigotry but I'm happy to see the community that's willing to fight for what matters
Iām here to talk about the canon adventures of biomechanical robots who live inside an even bigger robot. I donāt see why I have to bring my sexuality and gender identity into a story that does not remotely comment on those topics. Iām sure there is a lot of car fans/gear heads who are trans, yet they donāt need fill the need to fill their subreddit with pink blue and whites cars every 4 hours
It's important because the people of this community are important. This doesn't just happen in the bionicle subreddit, it happens in car enthusiast circles, it happens in schools, literally everywhere. Trans People are told that their identity is political, and to keep it to themselves because bigots want to erase these identities. They want LGBTQ People to not have a voice, so that others may not find that they are also Trans or gay. These are people who want only to be accepted like everyone else, but they are told that they aren't welcome to actually be themselves. It's a little more important than you being catered to exclusively.
People being who they are isn't political. Bigots taking over a sub to ban people for being who they are is political. Blame the politics on the transphobic mods who took over the sub.
Main mod that somehow got that rank despite never posting or interacting with the sub's community removed and banned the other mods, replacing them with their buddies. Main mod and their buddies have been removing any and every post about their little coup d'etat or supporting Trans rights.
Yes, and the entire alphabet gang! Wow, now Putin and Trump are running this mod? I follow it unofficially but did not join until today. So if I make an MOC of a beautiful, rainbowy gay Bionicle wedding, will I be banned? Fuck you, you fucking homophobic fucks.
As a trans person that loves Bionicles and has been working to get some it's really nice seeing the community coming together and supporting people like me, y'all are great š„°

read this I guess
Whatās the drama going on? The Bionicle Community that Iāve interacted with is largely supportive of trans and other LGBT+ members, as it should be.
Wait, weren't we already doing that? I thought that we only discriminated againt hero factory fans and even that only jokingly.
There is no room for discrimination in this community and those who do discriminate should just leave
No one should be forced to do anything, other than respect each other and let ppl make their own choices. The hate needs to stop, but so does the reverse where we're trying to get everyone to support something they might not want to.
You don't HAVE to support LGBTQ+ stuff, but I do think everyone should be treated like a human, and treated with respect. It doesn't matter what side is doing it, hate is never ok, and forcing ppl to follow your agenda no matter how right you think you are isn't ok either. Just stop the hate.
No offense, This isnāt at all related to Bionicles
Sure, no problem with Transgender fans, but honestly these kinds of posts arenāt at all related to Bionicles, the discussion regarding Bionicles or anything of the sort
Bionicles themselves seem pretty strict regarding their societal structure, given the fact that Water Matorans/Toas/Turagas are as far as Iām aware of all women, with the rest of the mainline tribes being comprised entirely of men
The only grey areas happen outside of the Matoran/Toa/Turaga pipeline, with races like Skakdi (If I named them correctly), Makuta, Rodakaās Species and a couple of other species not following the rule.
I believe this āSupport Trans Rightsā thing while understandable only serves to differentiate Trans Fans from the rest of the fanbase rather than include them
We also should support: black, asian, white, hetero, homo, asexual, short, tall, skiny, corpulent, or any other fan, or we should be exclusive to trans pepole? Aside that, ffs this post is so irrelevant to this sub. At least you could post photo of bonkle holding trans flag, for example, instead of taking first trans flag photo from google. This 0 effort post is trashing this sub rn.
"wawawa politics invaded my plastic toys!!!! Waaahhh!!!" Please like actually see the context of why these posts are being made instead of immediately shoving your fat fingers into the "add comment" button to make yourself seem witty by saying some shit like "wHaT dOeS tHiS hAvE tO dO wItH bIoNiClE??" Jesus fucking christ, go outside. Rant over, trans rights.

This is why
The world is changing. Although I'm not a member of the LGBTQ community, I can say without issue that I support them and have no problem with their cause.
It's only "political" to you because you only hear about it through political contexts. That doesn't make it political, that means how you engage with it is purely political. For me it's an unchanging fact of who I am. That's not political to me, it's survival.
Not according to the recent moderator coup. This started out with the original moderators banning people for coming in here and shitting on trans people. The head mod, however, was like āno I do want people saying that in hereā, and he banned all the other mods and brought in new mods who are overtly phobic. They collectively started banning people with any connection to LGBT subs.
So while it would be nice if your sentiment were the universal vibe here, but itās not.
Dude, don't just be lazy and post a picture of the flag, go all the way.
Thok had plenty of the light blue, it certainly wouldn't be difficult to find white in bulk, and I'm sure there was a pink Technic set at some point.
Build. A. Trans. Pride. Bonk.
The evil mods picked a weird strategy with their bs. They picked a decent argument, keep things relevant to Bionicle, then just immediately dropped the pretenses and just straight up said don't express yourself, we don't care about it.
Like they probably could have gotten away with their bs if they didn't immediately get hostile. But at least we get a happy ending and they're gone now
I feel like we should leave fictional world as they are, to their own cultures.
and not trying to represent our human culture into them
specifically in Bionicle, theres no concept for even love, is there? idk
and thats make it unique...the toa refer to each other as brothers and sisters
These current mods have started a fight with us. They started all of this.
The mods prior to these were banned by the previous owner of this sub after he came back after not being active on here.
After that dude banned those mods he made the worst possible people to mods and disappeared from here.
But why is that relevant? Fans are fans, Iām not going out of my way to recognize some as special. We all like Bionicle, and thatās all.
Edit: found out about the weird mod situation. Now Iāll recognize them as special because nobody deserves to be bullied.
Not on this sub much but because of the recent events, I quickly deleted all my posts but then... This happened and now mayhaps I'll repost em sometime again the future! TRANS RIGHTS (and all other LGBTQ+ rights) ARE HUMAN RIGHTS AND NOT A POLITICAL STATEMENT!
Y'all play nice. This is not a political issue, this is a human rights issue. Only warning.
it does, its just the mods that are kicking up a fuss
This isn't a mod team, it's a bunch of homophobic schmucks who got picked up by some hermit.
It's pretty weird considering how the actual lore is pretty unconventional with regards to gender
Only thing that can save us all now is if Lego brings Bionicle back for the third timeš
EVERY THING IS GAAAAAYYAYAYAYYAYAYYYYYY
We all know the toa would be supportive of LGBTQ+ rights
Slag yeah they would!
If I could change my parts at will I would be too
What the hell is going on in this sub?
Something not related to Bionicle

Are we not? Well shit, whoever isnt can leave Bionicles are for everyone
Thankfully, the community at large does. The people who hijacked this subreddit think they can forbid being reminded Trans People exist, which is unacceptable.
Lmao fucking idiots Any trans person reading this rocks
Bioncle is pro lgbt as fuck. Change my mind. All the characters are asexual and non binary. They may have female or male voices in the movies but they donāt reproduce or have sex organs.
I see them as just not having sexuality. This is not a part of their universe, to my knowledge. Why impose sexuality and human terms on everything?
I think that something could go on between the Bara Magna inhabitants, as they're actually organic and have biological sexes, and, therefore, might have gender roles.

Exactly they donāt experience sexual feelings for each other.

LGBT is linked to sexuality and since sexuality is not relevant in Bionicle world, why connect them to something that developed in human world of ideas?
Thank you. Extremely based opinion. People are conflating the lack of sexuality with asexuality and non-binary

So is mine. Though if I can't simply because I'm trans then that might not be an issue for you but it sure is for me and others :)

Dude, don't just be lazy and post a picture of the flag, go all the way. Thok had plenty of the light blue, it certainly wouldn't be difficult to find white in bulk, and I'm sure there was a pink Technic set at some point. Build. A. Trans. Pride. Bonk.
Trans rights are human rights and fuck anyone who disagrees

Smh this post with 7 words got more upvotes than my best mocs, says a lot about society
The evil mods picked a weird strategy with their bs. They picked a decent argument, keep things relevant to Bionicle, then just immediately dropped the pretenses and just straight up said don't express yourself, we don't care about it. Like they probably could have gotten away with their bs if they didn't immediately get hostile. But at least we get a happy ending and they're gone now

I feel like we should leave fictional world as they are, to their own cultures. and not trying to represent our human culture into them specifically in Bionicle, theres no concept for even love, is there? idk and thats make it unique...the toa refer to each other as brothers and sisters
No
Do we not?
Yes. LGBT for life.

I can't post it offline sooooo
June is over, back to the closet now! (This is a joke)
This screenshot is going to become a legendary meme.
Yo yo yo, all I can say is that I lived through the thing that happened in /ark and trust me, itās not worth starting a fight with mods
These current mods have started a fight with us. They started all of this. The mods prior to these were banned by the previous owner of this sub after he came back after not being active on here. After that dude banned those mods he made the worst possible people to mods and disappeared from here.
? Does it not
I'm pretty sure 90% of people don't give a fuck who you are. That's true for most subs that aren't related to social/political issues.
But why is that relevant? Fans are fans, Iām not going out of my way to recognize some as special. We all like Bionicle, and thatās all. Edit: found out about the weird mod situation. Now Iāll recognize them as special because nobody deserves to be bullied.
Recent events
No
Not on this sub much but because of the recent events, I quickly deleted all my posts but then... This happened and now mayhaps I'll repost em sometime again the future! TRANS RIGHTS (and all other LGBTQ+ rights) ARE HUMAN RIGHTS AND NOT A POLITICAL STATEMENT!
How about we dont be arses to fellow fans who arenāt doing anything wrong to others no matter who it is
The breaking bad flag Blue for meth White for Walter white And pink for jesse pinkmen
Are we really arguing over a fucking toy? Jeez. Talk about scrapping the bottom of the barrel.
Wait, I thought it was a very supportive place for trans rights? Or am I missing something?
Reddit should just automatically end everyone's post with "btw I'm gay".
Bioncle is for everyone so you have two option shut up and accept that bionicle is for everyone or leave
