Is there a rule about no tumblr? Because it almost seems like it's cheating.

...and yet I felt compelled to share this.

Every tumblr post like this I've read always saves the angriest sentence for last, even if the rest of it is pretty civil. I'm not even sure in what tone "Please you loving ableist asswagons" would be spoken if they were expressing their rant verbally.

As much as I miss the tumblr mock threads, the reason they get shut down is because goons have a tendency to succumb to lots of infighting in them. Even though I love to laugh at trans-fat agephobic demiplatonic pansexual otherkin, its probably best if we dont post too much tumblr.

My understanding is that they get shut down because they attract right-wingers, seeing as the idiots on Tumblr are mostly left-wing. Sticking to mocking sites like Facebook where the idiots are right-wing helps to keep SA left-wing and therefore on the right side of history.

Quebec's actually pretty gay-friendly these days, and we really don't have much of a right wing :confused:

For Montreal that's certainly the case, but I was under the impression that the small country got pretty bad, am I just wrong on this?

E: There was that bill where they wouldn't let Sikh people work for the government thing.

I don't think there's some grand mod conspiracy; goons devolve into stupidity and white-knighting after a mock thread has gone on long enough, no matter the subject.

This thread and the A/U/G thread have a varied enough scope that there's no chance for steady factions to form; it's the only thing that keeps them going.

You're wrong.

It wasn't a bill, it was a proposed bill that was put up for discussion and it wasn't banning people of a certain faith from working for the government, it was banning people from overtly displaying religious symbols while serving the public on behalf of the government. It was handled terribly, and the party that proposed it got epically trounced during the last election, which tells you all you need to know about the popular opinion on the subject. (It was far from the main issue in the election, contrary to what English-Canadian media would tell you, though.)

Homosexuality's pretty well accepted in Quebec. You still have people who aren't too keen about it, your older folks and your farmers mostly, but the crowd that put up the charter of value, the PQ? They had an homosexual leader a couple of goes ago. They're moderate left, BTW - The right wing party's pretty much the one that's in power right now, or the CAQ, if you want to count the CAQ as a real party.

Tumblr threads always end up eating themselves because hosed up as real/trolling SJW stuff is there's generally some shred of sense under it all and then the infighting starts about the nuances of being trans, privilege, etc.

"Almost all of our consumer products are made up of chemicals" - Senior Scientist of The Natural Resources Defense Council

No poo poo, most consumers aren't interested in buying a big 'ol bag of nitrogen or carbon, we tend to prefer chemical bonds to exist before purchase.

Can we not use that idiot dichotomy about forum posts, particularly outside of D&D? What killed that thread was that a couple MRAs bitched about feminism and the thread devolved into goons making GBS threads their pants at each other instead of posting context.

If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

Why would he hit enter? He typed it all out, screencapped it, and posted it so we can see how cool and badass he is. Now it can be safely deleted in the most succulent of passive-aggression :smug:

I'm not sure if my husband hit enter or not. Just thought it was interesting when he sent it to me. Green is the wife of a pretty good friend and there's kind of not a whole lot of point in arguing on facebook with them. I'm still amused by 'if you disagree with bigotry, you're totally a bigot' bit though.
