I'm sorry, but if you're going to open this with a lie, at least tell a lie that people can't look up and confirm as a falsehood.

You see whenever someone deletes a story that has a comment on it, along comes a second deletion message in the deletion log to specify that a separate page (the comment itself) has also been deleted. This for example:

EmpyrealInvective deleted page Kentucky Inland Life Longevity Mega Edibles (Does not meet the wiki's quality standards: content was: "Please listen to me, friends! I'm here to offer you the opportunity of a lifetime! I'd just happen to 'come''..." (and the only contributor was "...)"

"EmpyrealInvective (talk | contribs | block) deleted page Talk:Kentucky Inland Life Longevity Mega Edibles/@comment-Umbrello-20160709183417 (The parent article / parent comment has been deleted.)" indicates someone left a comment on a your story that had been deleted (the comment left on Kentucky Inland Life Longevity Mega Edibles was a criticism of the story by the way.)

Your story garnered no comments: ("13:54, 9 July 2016 EmpyrealInvective (talk | contribs | block) deleted page Patchwork Alice (Does not meet the wiki's quality standards: content was: "Written by Lady Creepypasta School is a hostile place. Nobody enjoys being at school. I didn't enjoy it and I'm sure you didn't enjoy it, ..." (and the only contributor was "[[Special:...) (view/restore)". I'd prefer if you were going to lie that you at least try one that didn't make you seem so self-serving like: "10/10 originality good story". Neither did "Poppy's Dolls" if that was your next lie.

While on the topic of the deletion appeal, you've likely read the header then that reads: "Also note that almost every story is deleted for a reason (typically due to it not being up to quality standards), making a deletion appeal without having a revised copy of the story in pastebin or having a link to the re-worked version on the writer's workshop will likely result in your story being denied and the administrator pointing out the reasons why they deleted the story." Do you know how many people on that list have posted revised versions of their story on the appeal? Less than 4 out of the 40+. That's ten percent give or take. There's a reason why the appeal is riddled with denials, it's because authors tend not to actually spend time on revising their stories to get them accepted.

As for your latest story being original (" Originality was something I thought was key to survive on this wiki."), sadly it wasn't. The theme of creepy, murderous dolls is actually fairly common. They've even made quite a few movies about killer dolls and there are a number in the items/objects category like Dolly Molly, Annabelle, Animated Doll, and The Black Eyed Doll to name a few. In fact people re-using the same tropes are why "Lost Episode", ".Exe", and "Pokepastas" ended up getting the boot in the first place. The authors ended up re-hashing the same plot tropes and it lead to stagnation. However let's not talk about why those topics were locked down two years ago, let's talk about your story and why it was deleted. (Hint: it's on your talk page. Your story wasn't up to quality standards due to a real lack of originality/creativity.)

First and foremost, here's a guide on things to avoid when writing journal pastas, a number of which you tend to hit on. Anyone reading this, feel free to read along if you're interested in seeing why we tend to remove overused or generic stories (like OC-killer stories or murderous doll stories).

You try to jump right into everything, but really don't set up the story at all. "So I found all these dolls in my aunt's attic. She passed away about two weeks ago." Who necessarily opens up their journal entry like that? Even if it's a random snippet, it feels off that they'd have no introduction or sense of beginning. There's no attempt to ease the audience into the story or create a sense of who these characters are.

Starting with the basic framing device: "Extracts (think you mean excerpts) from Daniel Fischback's journal." really doesn't get referenced at all throughout the rest of the story. Who selected these excerpts and for what purpose? Usually the purpose of a framing device is to explain why the story's being told. Without its reference or inclusion, it just feels like a soft-start to the rest of the story.

Story issues: A majority of the diary entries are only a few sentences long. ("March 30th, 2015 The user who had bought Denise messaged me saying that the doll arrived broken due to a careless courier, but the damage was only minor. However the cracks had leaked a red liquid. This was strange since Imogen had done a similar thing. I replied to the user and told them that I may have been unaware of some liquid being stored in the doll. Porcelain dolls were hollow and pretty easy to store substances in." and "Every user which had bought one of the dolls had messaged me saying that red liquid was coming out of their dolls. Since it was April Fools' day I assumed it couldn't have been too serious despite the previous two messages. For all I knew all these users could have known each other and prepared one big prank for me, so I ignored their messages." for example.) These entries on their own really come off as repetitive and come off as padding especially since the protagonist doesn't really react to three separate entries in which dolls are randomly bleeding.

Additionally the protagonist really isn't all that believable. They received multiple messages about the dolls bleeding and one "user who bought the bride doll said that it's (its) head had smashed, spilling blood and what had appeared to be a small brain. An animal brain, perhaps." really lend to making an unbelievable/unrealistic protagonist. Especially later when they write this (one entry in its entirety, no explanation given as to why they would ask their wife to do it): "Today I told my wife to break the finger off the doll I gave her. She did as she was told, but nothing happened."

On top of that, you tend to use pretty generic points: "She said that blood had leaked from both her doll's eyes like tears." Besides being pretty cliche, it comes out of left field that he would later tell his neighbor "I told her that there was nothing to worry about. I told her that there was nothing wrong with my aunt's dolls. (you know, besides having animal brains inside them, crying blood, and moving around the house where they leave bloody footprints.)

There's also the 'I tried to get rid of them but they returned' cliche. "When my daughter went to sleep earlier tonight I burned her doll with my wife's doll." to "In the box were the same dolls I had gotten rid of all those weeks ago." Why after seeing that all the dolls had magically re-appeared in their attic would they return to their diary to write that out? It seems counter-intuitive to sit down and write out what's happening while they seem to be in direct danger.

Story issues cont.: The "The monster finishes the story" trope. "But I am a patient little girl. I was always taught to be patient. So I only kill people on the day I was burned." So the doll likely murdered/incapacitated the protagonist, why is she focusing on finishing the story for them at all? It seems counter-intuitive that she'd finish the story if her major goal is to make more dolls. Wouldn't she want her dolls spread out in various places with people being none-the-wiser? Why write an entry incriminating herself and exposing her malicious intent to the world?

So in summation, what you're calling 'oppression' seems to be more about quality standards and you not wanting to actually put time into making an original story that's well written. I wish you the best of luck in finding a site that promotes freedom (i.e. a place with low enough standards where people really won't invest any time into your stories).
