The Skeleton King posted:what even caused all of the recent robocop poo poo? It feels like one day people just started getting pissy about even the smallest things and for some reason people started listening to them. its kind of a cliche to call a lot of internet communities hugboxes, but thats just what they are by design. a lot of the big ones are closed ecosystems like facebook, and tumbler to a lesser degree. you dont see what you dont want to. the exception to this is twitter, which is why its constantly the engine of outrage for every single drat thing in the world: its not a closed system. its not hard to see how people can whip themselves into a dipshit frenzy when all they read is constant reinforcement of their ideas. as far as SA is concerned, i dont know why its always been leftish, thats a mystery to me. but for a number of years this stance was absolutely mod sanctioned no matter what idiots like ralp might claim

Sort of like how ironic racism attracts real racists on the chans. See Also: The ironic love of My Little Pony when it first came out to troll people. "Haha I picked the gayest show for babies to say I like" then all of a sudden it's a civil rights movement for the worst people on the planet that want to gently caress cartoon horses.

Hell Yeah posted:lol at anyone thinking lowtax is reading your heart-felt encouragement or smelling your freshly minted opinions. it seems more like he just posted in this thread to vent. i feel bad for lowtax. he clearly cares about the site but is helpless to stop it from slowly sinking into the ocean. I feel bad too, but he's not helpless to stop the site from sinking. He has people that he probably talks to, goons and otherwise, that have advice. He should consider them, discard the bs, and act on his own opinions. That's like management 101.

I love watching robocop meltdown videos (Trigglypuff, etc.) but I don't want the people who cause them to gain any iota of power because they want to cordon off all of the black people in Chicago because they read The Bell Curve once, and execute/exile anyone not supportive of Donald Trump. So it's a fine line

At least the trench coat edge lords would go to concerts and gently caress instead of wallow in piss-stained ball pits at failed conventions.

Smythe posted:i dont think the love was ever ironic, and that ppl just really wnated to be klomped or whatever to death by the pastel colored cartoon horses This is probably right but for some reason that's how I remember the situation. Like, it was a gay show for babies and people were ironically saying they liked it like barney the purple dinosaur or something to troll for responses, and when other people saw the outrage those people were getting they too attached themselves to it to get the same kind of attention but they forgot the ironic part and just devoted their lives to MLP. Maybe it's just whatever shrieking, shriveled remains of my humanity are actually left deep down inside still refusing to believe that bronies were a natural, unironic thing that just happened.

Bronies, furries, and even a lot of the social justice crew are just evidence of the coddling of certain generations. The only thing better than a dumb, redneck population is an infantilized, terrified one because the people who want to gently caress plush horses and post about being a xir on Tumblr are never going to take up arms or riot in the streets. They'll just cheer on the black people who do so from the comfort of their adult nurseries and then show up later on to utterly destroy any sort of progress with their constant semantic bickering and peacocking.

That's like management 101. the problem i think is that everyone has wildly different opinions about what to do because getting a discussion forum with thousands of users and millions of threads into a state of balance isn't something anyone on earth can be depended on to do reliably. it seems easy to all of us so we all have our little thing we feel should be done, but really that's just wishful thinking and i think lowtax knows that and so he's not looking for goons opinions from threads like this. and also i don't think he gives a gently caress if any of us wish him well, because i wouldn't if i was him. it's really hilarious to see people posting directly to lowtax in a serious way, as if he cares what some person who posts in pyf thinks lol

You're mistaking things being a sign of the times with the media pushing a narrative from the top down. The country in general isn't as tolerant or offended as the media and a small sect of their followers would have you believe.

hard counter posted:even if that were true, would that still change the fact that in a few years that's only going to be a more popular way of thinking, not less? The media glomming onto something doesn't make it inevitable, and just because you're a prude and don't find something funny, it doesn't mean everyone else should be shamed or forced to adhere to your viewpoint. Opening up humor to this kind of control inevitably just results in creating more and more things you aren't allowed to joke about EVER. The filthy tranny joke is the extreme example used to make sure nobody ever makes any jokes even remotely in that area at all. We've tried doing things this way, and it's obvious that once you open the door for the complainers and prudes to declare things not funny and out of bounds it quickly becomes a race for every self-styled online moralizer to leave their mark by pushing the envelope of what is forbidden to further and further ridiculous extremes. The communities that form around these values are inherently toxic and constantly engaging in internal witch hunts to determine ideological purity for an ever-shifting set of values nobody is even really sure of. It's a giant cult and basically either everything is fine to make fun of or nothing is, and then the joke is judged on whether or not it's funny afterwards, not whether or not someone should be allowed to make it. I agree simply calling someone a tranny isn't usually funny, but that doesn't mean it should be banned completely. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Much in the same way that women can be assholes just like men, so you can call them assholes when they are being assholes without needing a lecture on misogyny. extending what i just said into "Calling people filthy trannies" is pretty much what I'm talking about with social justice. Which natetimm addressed natetimm posted:The filthy tranny joke is the extreme example used to make sure nobody ever makes any jokes even remotely in that area at all. Try this situation Trans Person: "I just lost some weight" Me: "How much does a dick weigh anyway?" you could follow up my terrible joke, which has no personal bias, with something like "The carrying capacity of your moms rear end in a top hat" or something, or just lecture everyone on the moral implications of jokes against (subset of society) and pick the worst, most terrible hypothetical situations you can to backwards justify your outrage because I dared make a bad joke about something while THERE IS LITERAL MURDER, BEATINGS, HARRASSMENT etc or whatever. I can joke about starvation, cigarette smoker deaths, fat people that die early or any number of topics and probably have at least some chance due to the law of averages to say something funny at some point, but what has nothing to do with that is the moral and societal implications of those topics. We are in an environment 100% based around joke making and humor and not sitting in a women's shelter or gay rights rally calling people faggots ironically or making jokes about battered women.

Smythe my man, you should really pay attention to what's going on w/regards to media. The internet is being consolidated into the wheelhouses of a few organizations and they aren't the "free information" types. It's not the era of free info any more, it's the era of heavily curated info fed to you by specific interests. It took them a while and there are different faces in charge, but big media like facebook and google have consolidated most of the internet under their hold and control the majority of what people see. That's actually one of the things that makes SA so fantastic. It's very "old internet" instead of the new, heavily curated and controlled stuff.

I can see the subject of what you are saying being true, like the type of information that is most consumed is heavily curated and not free at all which is controlled by special interests, but it's just a result of more people using the internet and since most people are stupid they gravitate toward the lowest common denominator of information outlets. Like if a co-worker comes to me and goes "SEE?! Obama is a muslim!" and links me to an article "Top Ten Reasons why Obama is a Muslim" it's both a stupid message, the person reading it is too stupid to discriminate bad information from good, but I don't expect that the article is trying to control a narrative (or establishes a worldwide trend of doing so) and instead is just an idiot reading lovely information, of which there is too much of lately.

Fat Shat Sings posted:trans jokes can be funny because jokes are funny when Get this people laugh at them Not for any other reason. If a topic makes people too uncomfortable to laugh, you picked a poo poo topic just the same as if you picked something too obscure for anyone to get. Try something else because the freedom to use any material you want isn't the issue. When most working comedians complain about the ess jay double us they complain about the unnecessary career ruining twitter gangpiles wrecking their lives, unnecessary because a comedian is already judged by the reaction they pull from a crowd. It's a given that they'll switch to new material when they can't get laughs and if they cannot adapt they become unemployable. Twitter gangpiles are redundant on top of being hasty and unforgiving. It would make sense if a website also found ways to adapt just the same.
