Battle of the Bulging Nose: Difference between revisions

That ace proved to be a picture of Borzoi's Jewish wife, an ironic relationship given his much proclaimed hatred of Jews. Immediately he flew into a rage, sources saying he sent 100s of angry DMs to Graf, demanding he defederated Tyler lest the podcasters pull their sizeable financial contributions from the site. All while simultaneously trying to claim in the open that the images weren't even related to him--statements in clear contradiction to the reactions of the Poa.st admins and Borzoi himself. Graf, being completely beholden to the Podcast Race, willingly obliged in defederating Tyler, powerless to disobey. Poast was in utter shambles at the sight of a single JPG. Succ, hearing of the butthurt, promptly joined the posting of the nose, as did many others from various instances. This resulted in all of BB.W getting defederated, as well as other instances and users.

Prude and [[Jack]], attempting to play Good Cops, calmly reasoned with Graf and succeeded in getting BB.W refederated, albeit with Tyler and Succ remaining individually defederated. Despite this, Poasters--still in a rage at their idol being attacked--spared no mercy in their assault on the two for daring to stand up for their friends. This gradually cooled into an armistice which lasted for a few days, before Prude, in a hellthread with [[Eris]], answered his demands for anti-Poast action by offering whimsically to join any large instances that defederated Poast in solidarity. This was intended to put the onus of action for unrealistic schemes back on Eris.  

In an unrelated later thread, Graf then posted an out of context screenshot of Prude's "blockade" post and began referring to Prude as "the biggest snake on the fediverse," obviously having taken the theoretical scenario personally. As Graf became increasingly hysterical and began threatening additional sanctions that would amount to de facto instance defederation anyhow, Prude and Jack both likewise had enough and joined with their fallen comrades in sending a final message and posting NOSE.JPG, getting BB.W defederated once and for all on its own terms.
