This Is Wrong Chess.com

Staff has to read them all every month and decide.....which is the best? Do you see how this begins to get generalized? Best at what?......writing style?.......game analysis? The OP mentioned 1 little minor thing......HITLER! And just like that,....

So here is my argument to the situation.

I read the blog multiple times, even before it was removed. It only tells you about Hitler's chess ability, how the game between him vs Lenin was setup, the game, and if its real. He also said

Right there, he said that he did not support what he did. Also the thumbnail. I mean, what else he is going to put in there, the blog stated about Hitler, so why not put his face in there, whats the difference between making the blog on his game, and putting his face in the thumbnail?

And that it is offensive to Jews, again, this is not reference to his actions in any way, is just saying his name and his game enough to be offensive? Even a Jewish top blogger said he liked the post.

And that chess.com has a right to demote him, yes they do, but we are protesting against it, if he really should be demoted or not. He made high quality posts, and got a following, and actually puts the time into his blogs unlike a certain top blogger that I know... Even if he deleted it, is the damage done? Hornet, really took the time, it seems unfair that he did demoted, away from the top of the list where many people can see his blogs.

It is not a form of hate speech, or anything offensive, it is just chess. Overall, I think that @HornetCruise should be given his title back, and that demoting him is unjustified.

Huh... uncool chesscom

Kowarenai

can i have top blogger then?

on a serious note though while i was not offended i found it funny that you would use one of the worlds worst icons who have caused massive trauma and heartbreak to millions of people even if it was just to show their chess game which changes nothing. this is kind of your fault but at the same time its also the fault of the staff member as while he said to avoid it he did say it wasn't breaking any rules but then took away your status so he also broke what he thought was right

If I took a screenshot from the article, of Hitler, and selectively quoted the article could I come up with a misleading story of the contrary and make chess.com look bad?

Just like Trump is a racist, or Tate hates women, perhaps Hornet, through the presentation of an astute adversary was pro hitter, pro Bin Laden or pro Zelensky.

Was Chess.com covering their political booty?

That makes a bunch of sense, because posting a picture of someone means you agree with the horrible atrocities they committed.

Everybody should message Chess.com staff and demand that Hornet's Top Blogger status be returned. This is outrageous.

Judging by your flag you live in the united states.

You know people do this all the time to make their political opponents look worse?

Oh that person is a racist, oh that person hates law enforcement, or this religious group, or this sexuality or whatever else.

A picture here, an outlandish remark there.

Literally could snapshot Hornet's article, the picture and say they are romanticizing Hitler and that chesscom is a nazi platform or whatever other sensational cap.

A story like that might even do well on youtube or tiktok.

I was being sarcastic in my comment haha. Yes, I agree, it's stupid.

Thanks,
