Well, Chrononaut 70 has already been suspended due to reasons detailed in this ATT thread from yesterday, so we likely won't have to worry about them making future edits like this. Of course, whether or not they'll be unsuspended is yet to be seen, but if the mods see this post, this will probably give them more reason not to.
Edited by lpk675Huh, didn't know he had been suspended already. Sorry about that.
There’s no reason to apologize, since the problems he was suspended for are unrelated to your report.
We can still add this report to his record.

So I'm a bit worried about this entry, since the issue it's discussing is only around 7 months old, and I don't want to come across as if I'm taking sides.
The troper Chrononaut70 appears to have made a few edits on the YMMV pages for Mafia III and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, both of which seem to have some sort of agenda in regards to BLM.
On December 11th 2020, he edited a (now deleted) entry for Harsher in Hindsight, changing it from:
To, with the reason "Since there is a lot of rioting, looting and vandalism in addition to protests, I think it's appropriate to bring these things up":
He also changed this sentence on the same day, changing "black men" to "men of all races":
On the GTA:SA page, five days after the Mafia III edits, he edited this paragraph on a Harsher in Hindsight entry:
Changing it to this entry that, in my opinion, leans on Victim Blaming:
I have edited the aforementioned entry back to be a bit more neutral. I'm not the most educated when it comes to BLM, but from his entries, I get the sense that he's trying to brush out discussions about racism against African-Americans, which I find strange because the pages he's edited on are for games with African-American protagonists. I just thought I'd get others' opinions about it first because I'm not sure if this is a recurring issue or not.
