Lol Beez wasn’t a “dictator” — he was AFK, but wasn’t actually a dictator. Query: How can you actually be a dictator if you’re AFK?
What actually happened with Beez is that a liberal won the IMGFLIP Presidency for the first time — in an upset but legitimate victory according to the voting laws that existed at the time — and some conservatives disappointed by this outcome became committed to the idea of seeing his Presidency fail.
To my knowledge, Beez didn’t take any censorship actions that weren’t justified. Example: He once censored RichardChill for submitting a meme that had a death threat against Beez in the meme tags. For some reason, RichardChill was able to use trolling like that to succeed in convincing others that he was being “silenced.” And without evidence, the idea that Beez was a tyrant became, as they say, “a meme.”
The RichardChill impeachment chatter against Beez got so out-of-control and was so meritless that Scar had to take the impeachment power away — do you remember that? RC & Co. were really trying to impeach Beez about a week into his presidency. How is that fair?
But what actually brought Beez Administration down was when Scar demodded Beez VP, Dr_Iceu, without a trial. (Dr_Iceu was censoring a suspected WN alt, I believe.) Beez resigned in protest and I left the stream too. And the PRESIDENTS stream drama actually got worse after that, so Beez wasn’t the cause of it.
(That scenario was very similar to Andrew — i.e. Pepe Party — more recently demodding IG without a trial, which many of us rallied against in order to preserve the integrity of the democracy.)
Tl;dr Beez was a decent President put in a difficult or impossible situation to manage, due to the pressures of the RichardChill impeachment cartel at the bottom, and an Owner who wouldn’t let him and his administration do its job at the top.
I supported Beez and sadly he quit the stream over all this. I don’t blame him. We lost a clever and funny memer. So, whenever this comes up someone ought to correct the record.
