This group was created after Cody left the "ma toki pona VR" group in 2025. He was approached by the moderation team about the groups in his profile at the time. this included groups about Donald Trump, conservative policies, and "I identify as an attack helicopter". He was asked to leave those groups.
Cody was so offended that someone would coerce him to change his own expression of his beliefs and actions outside of the group that he left, and created a new group in response.
I knew this when i joined the "toki pona sin" group. I wanted to evaluate cody and find out exactly how much effort he would put into being tolerant of someone with opposing beliefs. When will he take his mask off? I wanted to be the trans friend that would fix him.
In the following months i became good personal friends with Cody and Miss Willow, and a respected teacher in the "toki pona sin" group. We had deep, personal, and intimate conversations. He considered me an intellectual.
The whole time he ran the group, he tried to apply a moderation standard: If someone is doing something bigoted or harrassive in the group, they will be removed, but we will not judge someone for the things they do or say elsewhere. He never said anything bigoted himself. This appears to me as a genuine attempt indeed to make a space inclusive of diverse groups.
But maybe a part of the reason he wanted to avoid controversial topics was because if people knew his true beliefs, they might not want to hang around him.

Cody used jan Jami's toki pona learning world as his favorite resource. When he would bring groups of randos in for a lesson, people would groan and boo when they see the pride flags. His moderators tell people to ignore it, or if they don't like it, leave. Cody has something particular in mind when he responds "Guys, change the culture!"
I decided to ask him personally about the things i believe are most important to consider, the things i believe i was most equipped to change his mind on. He explained with indignation the ultimatum he recieved from mun Kekan San, and how it goes against his values of freedom from coercion. He relents that he could have been convinced to leave the attack helicopter group, if only someone had asked him sufficiently politely. But his feelings on the Trump groups that were in his profile are more particular:
Cody expressed that his own beliefs are "fiscally conservative, and socially liberal", and that Trump, while flawed, is actually the best option for trans people, because every other option would be so much worse for the economy that nobody would have human rights. He recognizes the direct attempts that Trump is making to eradicate people like me(and even himself), and he simply doesn't worry, because the governmental checks and balances prevent him from doing real damage. He says he disapproves of Trump, but he was still the best option avaiable.
When Cody saw the new message written on the wall of jan Jami's world, he characterized it as a biased, bigoted slander of him to hurt the inclusive goals his group. He told me that, as much as he wishes he didnt have to, he would would pitch the "toki pona sin" group to his friends in a Charlie Kirk group. he doesn't want to make a right wing toki pona group, he insist's he's being bullied into it by hostile liberal bias.

After all this, i concluded i cannot stay in his group. Cody is far more offended by someone asking him to retract an endorsement of Trump than he is by any of Trump's actual murderous actions. to Cody, Trump's burgeouning genocides are an unfortunate happenstance, while mun Kekan San was the worst thing that ever happened to him. He likes the idea of making a space inclusive to trans people, but it's not a at all priority to him. There's the mask. if i'm gone, will he still even try?
I've now read the message jan Jami wrote on the world. It is not slander. I agree and endorse almost every word of it. Every single time Cody says "How can i be transphobic, i have trans friends!" i cringe. The only mistake jan Jami makes:
"you are excluded from the toki pona community because of your inability to love [...]"
You might wonder how i was able to be friends with people holding such violently dangerous priorities. Simple: Cody and Miss Willow are entirely capable of love. They showed love to me, to my face. They only choose not to show me love where it gravely matters.
humans are finite, mortal, fallible creatures, as much as i might wish they weren't. akesi ilo is the same. Cody and Miss Willow are both neurodivergent much like myself. Cody is, by his own admission, stubborn and egotistical, and he would refuse to do anything if someone sternly told him to. I'm similar in a lot of ways, but that's why i have to leave: i cannot show him the truth by trying to.

i will attempt to send this message to multiple channels and ping every role and user in the "toki pona sin" server. Cody doesn't like serious discussion happening where everybody can see, but i think everybody needs to know that the things jan Jami is saying are not lies. I want to continue teaching people in VRC, so i will be going to jan Jami's group.
If you want to ask more about my firsthand experiences, why this matters, or learn more about why i believe the way i do, then message me. Send me a friend request and a dm on Discord @rad_butte
I wanna listen to what people have to say and talk calmly about it without trying to start a fight.
To the members of this server: you are each your own person. You get to decide when someone else crosses your boundaries. I put you under no obligation to follow my lead. Do consider.
