Note: This is Part 1 of 2 of my critique of people who I use to feel membership into the community of. While many are accepting of my identity of Hindu Atheist/Hindu Anti-theist, there are those in the Western Atheist community who are not and there’s even worse problems on following through with their supposed beliefs and aims.
This question has bothered me for some time after my initial experience and I suspect that the answer is no.
IDW communities and Western Atheist communities aren’t being serious about open-mindedness to questioning their own ideas and they’ve failed to build sustainable communities as a result. Moreover, many of these communities fail to be open to criticism of Islam in particular, even the communities of Conservative “Free Speech” advocates who talk about being more vocal to criticize Islam; it seems the views haven’t translated to the fanbase. As you may imagine, I am deeply disappointed. I decided to take their claims at face value since finding the r/JordanPeterson subreddit to be consistent and open-minded to challenging their beliefs similar to the r/SamHarris subreddit. However, with the other IDW personalities and atheist communities separate from the original New Atheists and Jordan Peterson, I don’t find this to be true. The results were what Liberals would typically expect. For example, I criticized the dominate beliefs of the Ben Shapiro subreddit and here was the result in less than 40 minutes on the subreddit:
The IDW briefly hosted a Discord Server for about an hour without much thought put into it. I state without much thought because there were no rules in place and they deleted the content from my main discord username without giving a reason and with no rules in place. This is a group that claims to be pro-Free Speech and opposed to censorship, but then deletes content for no reason and has no rules in place for why. So, using an alternative discord name, I questioned them on it and soon found the discord channels vanish from the Server they made with only the audio for Voice Chat being available; I later realized that my questioning caused them to delete the entire server. The fairly simple questioning can be seen below:
If you’re a fellow Liberal, don’t be smug, within hours of the same time the r/benshapiro ban happened, I got banned from r/fuckthealtright too since I took their “open-mindedness” seriously and shared a blog post equally critical of Left-leaning personalities and people like Ben Shapiro:
The Behavior of Atheist Communities and Popular Atheist Personalities
One of the worst offenders was actually the r/trueatheism subreddit which categorically banned all positive comments before closing the topic and permanently banning me when I didn’t violate any of their subreddit rules and criticized the religion of Islam with examples like Pakistan’s practice of rape conversions which is likely based on Islamic theology from Quran 4:24, Quran 9:5, and the culture of purity. The deletion by r/trueatheism mods of discussions criticizing Islamic sanctioned rape, which happens in countries like Pakistan to this day, can be seen here:
However, the one that hurt the worst for me personally was the discord server of Genetically Modified Skeptic. For a little over a year, I was part of that Discord and quite enjoyed my time there until eventually one of the moderators, by the username Sentient6, kicked me for disagreeing with her. It wasn’t until after that event that I discovered that one of the Admins, Shane, essentially acted like a helicopter parent, whenever one of the moderators faced disagreement or criticism from regular users for supporting ridiculous ideas such as drunk driving not being made criminally punishable and Shane would always either shut down the conversation by saying the discussion was over or would simply take the moderator’s side by arguing the regular user was being hostile. Eventually, looking through the backlogs, I realized the GMS Discord Admins and Mods always assumed negative intent on anyone who disagreed with them and repeatedly accused the regular users of being hateful, angry, or whining. When I submitted a complaint to Shane, whom I was friends with at the time, he never responded and then – when going back to the Server and chatting on Voice Chat with the other Administrator Hades (alternatively, he names himself as Haram sometimes) who I had considered a friendly acquaintance up until that conversation, Hades told me that complaints of moderators was against the rules. Re-checking the rules, I realized the GMS Discord Server was geared towards shutting down any criticism of the Moderators and Administrators with that rule so that any criticism was portrayed as whining and disregarded in legitimacy of grievances. In fact, many of the other Moderators – when I attempted to have a civil conversation – tried to shut down my criticisms by arguing that I needed to “talk like a real person” as if getting to the root of the matter was somehow inhumane. It was just another way of stifling criticism. Near the end of the conversation, Hades actually told me on the Voice Chat, after I sufficiently made the case that Sentient had broken the rules and kicked me out when I hadn’t violated any rules, that the rules aren’t there for Administrators and Moderators to follow. He repeatedly referred to the GMS Discord server as an autocracy (yes, really. His words and not mine) and essentially told me that rule-breaking on the part of Admins and Mods doesn’t matter because they’re not held accountable by the rules set forth on the Server and therefore they can ban or kick people who didn’t violate any rules. I promptly told him “Okay” then proceeded to tell him to have a nice life and left.
As I’m sure this is going to require hard evidence for people who really like Drew McCoy, I used my alternate to go back and challenge the mod Sentient6’s views. Here’s Sentient6’s claims about her behavior followed-up by her actual actions regarding violation of GMS Discord rules and her arbitrary actions in banning people that she despises with no other justification:
Sentient6’s Claims on her Moderation Approach:
Sentient6’s actual actions in violation of the rules when facing mild criticism:
After failing to follow the rules that specify a person can’t personally attack or maliciously insult others, she proceeded with this after being called out on her violation of the rules:
Please note that these actions prove Sentient6’s insincerity and blatant lies about her moderation approach on the Genetically Modified Skeptic Discord.
The Paulogia Discord Server Threatening to Ban People for Criticizing Islam
If all that wasn’t enough, here is the terrible moderation system of Atheist Youtube Paulogia’s discord server where the moderator, Kendall Frey, asks for public opinion before requesting to ban me for criticizing Islam after several of the users were acting as apologists for Islamic terrorists turning their own children to child soldiers for their Islamic Jihad. This not only shows mob mentality, but groupthink and an inability to actually moderate the Paulogia Discord Server with any set rules since it is simply majority opinion rule:

Islam isn’t in a position of power in the US, nor is Islamic terrorism a real threat in the US.

Let’s all be fair, these terrible things like child soldiers are more prominent in Islamic countries.
Sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ rollToday at 9:25 PM
You aren’t speaking truth to power by criticizing it, nor defending the innocent.
Yes they are
for reasons discussed earlier
itypeslowToday at 9:26 PM
indeed
Hentai, prozac, and vaporwaveToday at 9:26 PM
The biggest issue is white supremacists. They’re the ones shooting up schools, theatres, gay bars, abusing people and children, etc
Oh absolutely
itypeslowToday at 9:26 PM
child soldier is atrocious, but so is child slavery
Hentai, prozac, and vaporwaveToday at 9:27 PM
There’s definitely more violence in those countries but you need a NUANCED perspective as to why there’s more violence
Sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ rollToday at 9:27 PM
but honestly I’ve found it’s really fun to bait conservatives with something small that plays into their existing preconceptions and let them run wild with accusations
Bel the degenerate lambToday at 9:27 PM
Cultural and ethnic tensions along with political instability
Hentai, prozac, and vaporwaveToday at 9:27 PM
Yup.
Bel the degenerate lambToday at 9:27 PM
With Islam often serving as a justification for many of the worse things commited by people in the Islamic world
Hentai, prozac, and vaporwaveToday at 9:28 PM
It’s really not that complicated
I don’t know why he couldn’t get it
Sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ rollToday at 9:28 PM
I used to be on genetically modified skeptic’s server and he would do nothing but fearmonger there too.
Hentai, prozac, and vaporwaveToday at 9:28 PM
Fun.
itypeslowToday at 9:29 PM
who did fearmongering, gms?
Sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ rollToday at 9:29 PM
Jarin.

You mean the Ex-Muslim videos?

Don’t, if it’s the same way it was when I left it the mods are horrible.
itypeslowToday at 9:29 PM
that’s sad
LuminaireToday at 9:30 PM
Are you talking about the Ex-Muslim videos though?
Sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ rollToday at 9:30 PM
No, I’m talking about jarin.
LuminaireToday at 9:30 PM
He posted Ex-Muslim videos on that server
Do you mean that?
Bel the degenerate lambToday at 9:30 PM
@Sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll Bruh that only means I’ll be able to be more of a degenerate
Sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ rollToday at 9:30 PM
Not that kind of horrible.
Bel the degenerate lambToday at 9:30 PM
ow oof my bones
Hentai, prozac, and vaporwaveToday at 9:30 PM
It just pisses me off how quick he is to attack Islam but doesn’t say anything about Christian issues.
Sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ rollToday at 9:30 PM
One of them talks like a corporate marketing department, one’s a selfish libertarian, and the others are fairly ineffective.
Hentai, prozac, and vaporwaveToday at 9:30 PM
It’s obvious he only has issue with Islam
LuminaireToday at 9:31 PM
Ex-Muslims in the West, in those videos, were saying they were being killed in the West and Liberals are ignoring their human rights.
itypeslowToday at 9:31 PM
eecchhh
LuminaireToday at 9:31 PM
Did you watch any of those videos?
Bel the degenerate lambToday at 9:31 PM
Oi, @Hentai, prozac, and vaporwave, you have to admit that what you’re doing there is whataboutism
Sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ rollToday at 9:31 PM
Did we get another one
LuminaireToday at 9:31 PM
Well
you’re saying he’s an islamophobe
Sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ rollToday at 9:31 PM
is meat back on the menu
Bel the degenerate lambToday at 9:31 PM
If we’re discussing Islam there is little reason to bring up similar actions encouraged by christianity
Hentai, prozac, and vaporwaveToday at 9:31 PM
Yes and no. It’s related
Sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ rollToday at 9:31 PM
Yeah, because he pretty clearly is.
LuminaireToday at 9:32 PM
Okay so, if you criticize Christianity, does that make you a Christianphobe?
Hentai, prozac, and vaporwaveToday at 9:32 PM
It’s related because we’re talking about how bias against Islam, and the fact he never brings up issues in Christianity is what supports that
Sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ rollToday at 9:32 PM
…did you miss my ENTIRE spiel about cultural context?
LuminaireToday at 9:32 PM
Well, he posted videos about Ex-Muslims in the West
Sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ rollToday at 9:32 PM
Answer the question please.
LuminaireToday at 9:32 PM
I just did
Hentai, prozac, and vaporwaveToday at 9:32 PM
No you didn’t(edited)
Sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ rollToday at 9:33 PM
Did you see the spiel about cultural context
LuminaireToday at 9:33 PM
Okay, if we’re talking cultural context
Hentai, prozac, and vaporwaveToday at 9:33 PM
You changed the subject back to those videos
LuminaireToday at 9:33 PM
And it was Ex-Muslims in the West
Why can’t they talk about being killed in the West?
Sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ rollToday at 9:33 PM
You’re not actually acknowledging the rant so I’m going to paste it again
Hentai, prozac, and vaporwaveToday at 9:33 PM
That wasn’t the issue we were talking about. No one ever said they can’t talk about that.
LuminaireToday at 9:33 PM
You said on gms’s server
Sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ rollToday at 9:33 PM
There’s such a zeitgeist of xenophobia in the US that out-of-the-blue criticism of this religion is almost always an attempt to stoke said xenophobia, and anyone who says otherwise is either lying or very ignorant. Islam isn’t in a position of power in the US, nor is Islamic terrorism a real threat in the US.
LuminaireToday at 9:33 PM
he posted Ex-Muslim videos
I asked if that was what you’re talking about
and you’re ignoring my question
Hentai, prozac, and vaporwaveToday at 9:34 PM
Yes. We said it wasn’t.
Sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ rollToday at 9:34 PM
I don’t remember
he was just shilling his website
he did the same thing here before Kendall stopped him
LuminaireToday at 9:34 PM
So wait, he’s an islamaphobe for what he said on GMS’s server and you don’t remember what he said?
Hentai, prozac, and vaporwaveToday at 9:34 PM
For what he said HERE.

Update: If you need further proof, Kendall Frey insulted my other username and kicked me out after I dutifully answered his question about bringing up religious topics of human rights abuses causing fear. They claimed my answer was “bad faith” simply because they didn’t like it and said any response I made was “strawman” because – again – they didn’t like it. These people use words without understanding them.
Sentient6 is pretty bad, tbh
