I agree seriously unpleasant and offensive. Isn't some of that even illegal in Germany ?

Fighting injustice is not an injustice against those who don't stand for justice and equality. That's the old "you are infringing on my right to hate you and deny you rights". It doesn't work that way.
That's not what's happening though. She's making blanket statements about an entire population of people she has no idea about.
Also she's not a random poster she a moderator who's supposed to be moderating the kinds of things she's doing.
There's plenty of ways to vent your frustration short of calling a population of people nazis.
Btw, I didn't vote for trump and don't agree with many of his views but people that did are definitely not all nazis.

I'm not saying it is that or anything else, but that's how millions of people feel right now. Aubrielle is just venting like millions of others are.
And just saying, Corwin, the quote in your signature saying "If God said it, that settles it!!" can be offensive to atheists.
I'm not saying I agree with her. I'm just saying that it's a rough time for people. While I wouldn't personally put something like that in my signature (I'd much rather promote myself there, it seems. ), I understand that people are feeling bad right now.
Cut her some slack.

Really? Atheists dont believe in God so that renders that statement null doesnt it? No one ever brought it up AFAIK.
Has nothing to do with being "rendered null" when certain people in power and those who create legislation base their views on the premise that "If God said it, that settles it!!". It works both ways.
The quote is a joke reference to how people say God said this or that to me and affirmation of what they are doing. Like "God said it was ok for me to commit adultery".
That said if we go by that, we cant even have a sig that say "it's ok" because certain people in power and those who create legislation base their views that "it's ok". You are making assertions on a quote. It is different to directly calling a group of people nazis.
So maybe Aubrielle's quote is a joke. It works both ways

The reason a quote about God isn't shocking is because "Christians will be Christians!". It is normalized in western society. That's a totally different topic but I know you aren't stupid and you understand what I'm saying.

I'm not condemning her Fluent but when you put something like that out on the internet you have to expect backlash.
Without out getting too personal, I'm a part of the lgbtq community and the way she "represents " the community is embarrassing to me. So I've experienced and witnessed ignorance and hatefulness first hand but just as I judge games individually on their own merits I also Judge people that way and would never Paint an entire group with one brush.
She decided to use these forums on occasion to get on her soapbox and preach tolerance and acceptance of her beliefs and then she demonstrates intolerance and hatefulness of other people's beliefs which is just wrong anyway you slice it.
Though I think this should likely have been emailed to Myrthos instead of posted openly.

I see why Dte left the site, and why the base here is slowly eroding.
