if you look in the modlog, you’ll see why. I was the one who did the ban.
But to sum, they posted an image of a rotund master chief, as stated by someone else in the comments. Then tried to complain about “wokewashing” in gaming, a far-right dog whistle about how the “woke media” is ruining gaming because they… ya know… depict women as human beings, include people of colour, and have gay characters. Specifically, they were complaining about Concord. A game that was released and then instantly pulled from markets because the far-right complained about it.
While I was investigating this, I found that they had a habit of posting/commenting reactionary things without context or reasoning, and getting things removed from communities for it. Including the N-word, sinophobia and gore, etc. That kind of behaviour can’t stand, and it had gone on for too long.
I was wrong on the “gore”, but the context of the upset is still there. It’s a picture of a Japanese soldier executing an American soldier with the text “United States is a Chinese Colony”
Their caption was “M8 wtf”, but they failed to include any content warnings or context to the image. So, effectively, they posted sinophobia.

This was a dumb decision imo. Allow all users to see removed posts!
can we get rid of the “halo” community?
I don’t see a need to remove it, but we could put some new moderators on it instead.
