Round 1, Match 5: SiRrogueKnight vs. Subnetter #faggottourney
It's time for local corporate journalist SiRrogueKnight to face off against tournament newcomer Subnetter!
Subnetter is a lefty-ish person who claims to be on Pernia's list of "confirmed women," but the community voted that subnetter is a guy, so (s)he is eligible! They call themselves queer, though a quick survey of Fedi seems spilt on faggot or tranny.
This borderline eligible newcomer faces off against last year's finalist - who is ALSO only just-barely eligible! That's right, last year's match was a tie (60-60), which resulted in the most contentious finals in all of Fedi tournament history! SiRrogueKnight is one of the FEW people on Fedi who is open about their real name. They've posted multiple opinion pieces in The Korea Times, and in true journalistic fashion they've threatened to dox multiple people here. They sperged out hard enough over the tournament last year that their wife had to tell them to stop posting online! The behavior that got them nominated in the first place? They love blocking people, starting flame wars with them, and blocking them again, much like our beloved former tourney winners. They also pay Adam Curry to put their cringe music on his podcast. If you're wondering why you can't see any of their posts; they've been defederated from poast, for the journalism.
It's time for a match between two very different participants, both with their own dedicated fan clubs from the nomination round. Will it be the man/woman or the journo?
Tournament Rules:
- Voters must have maintained an active account on a fedi instance which mutually federates with tsundere.love during the period of February 1st, 2026 and April 19th, 2026. Any single post made between this time frame counts as activity.
- Voters must currently have an account on an instance which mutually federates with tsundere.love
- Regardless of any of the above, Pedi users cannot be vote. Moreover, attempts to vote from a Pedi instance will result in a woodchipper (defederation).
- Votes are cast by people, not accounts. When a vote/nomination is suspected to be from an alternative account cast with the intent of producing multiple votes, the votes/nominations from that account will be discarded and that user will not have their votes counted in the future.
- Ties will be broken by coin flip. The coin flip is held and announced before the vote begins.
- Only votes of the form "I vote for X" as a reply to the OP will be counted.
- You may not vote in a match that you are participating in.
- If you take an action that results in the addition of rules, you will suffer.
