xthetenth posted:That's the sort of environment where the alt-right spawned and where you pay for their presence with them driving out significantly cooler people who don't feel the need to go and get abused. The idea of playing Internet detective and calling/mailing/death threatening people off internet posts didn't happen too frequently pre-2002 or so. That has more to do with the nature of "FWD:FWD:FWD:FWD:FWD: Secret Muslim?" email culture of unafraid racists airing their racist opinions, spilling out into an internet populace that increasingly has a profile with their real actual DMV-registered name out there somewhere. It gets worse now, since previously you could throw away emails from Racist Grandma or try to set her straight in a 1:1 conversation, but now Facebook thinks all your friends and all her friends should see it in their news feeds and invite them to chime in. Edit: Paradoxish posted:The whole internet versus real life distinction was always idiotic and no different from being abusive as hell to someone over the phone and then laughing it off because the phone isn't real life. That distinction was always kind of the origin of this site. The internet has always been relatively meaningless compared to real life, thus you can respond to legal threats with Leonard J Crabs letters that maybe you wouldn't laugh off if they were backed with real actions . It's not like goons were responding to random questions with "punch her in the oval office" in their daily, real lives. Craptacular! fucked around with this message at 05:14 on Nov 4, 2016 |

Like I do think people should probably be allowed to say moronic poo poo as a teenager without it following them for their entire lives, but I think that we can work that out without some of the problems anonymity have provided. It's pretty obvious in places like Twitter now, but even in the early days of Facebook, when I was an admin on a huge Feminist group, all of the people posting misogynist poo poo were fake names (in one instance, directly claiming that he was posting anonymously so that he wouldn't get kicked out of the military). There was a problem at the time where large groups had enough lag in the members list that you couldn't necessarily boot people faster than they could make a new name and re-register. The problem with anonymity is that people invade every single safe space they can.

When you've got the weight of society behind you, it's a lot easier to abuse people until they disengage so unless you've got committed anti-racists, the racists will drive all the minorities out. Frankly, the shitheads who thrive aren't worth it even if they drive nobody out, that they drive out decent people is just making things much worse (hah, tb, I used frankly there what're you going to do about it).

So the guy who ghostwrote The Art of the Deal came to my school today and gave a really neat talk about his experience writing the book, and his life after. I think his most like interesting point was the idea that we can and should use the example of Donald Trump to become more moral people ourselves--looking at him as an example of how not to be a good person can actually be really instructive re: how to be good. He also made this great, albeit unscientific analogy: "Donald Trump is like a black hole--he has nothing inside, so he just keeps trying to draw everything--money, fame, attention toward himself."

Nessus posted:This is kind of a general thing, isn't it? Because it takes relatively few shitheads to really gently caress up the group. It's one thing if you get the occasional salty outburst but it's another when it's just a constant torrent of repetitive shitposting. Yeah, you either need a cohesive group opposed to it, good moderation policy or both, because otherwise you start suffering attrition and before you know it a lot of people have been driven out.

Morrowind was the very first one of these, and it's 15 years old and by all rights it should be remembered as amazing and astounding, because while it has all the usual bugs and faults it was also totally new and had never been done a dozen times. Instead, nobody noticed because it was too obscure, too opaque and too incomprehensible for the audience of the time. Now that the audience does not expect/demand linear adventures and is able to enjoy open-ended games with a huge world, they are unhappy that the tech hasn't changed since the shittier, rough draft games they largely ignored.

It was nearly a goddamn decade ago that John McCain was trying to tell some old lady that Barack Obama was not a Muslim, when Reddit was a pale shadow of Digg.

In many of these cases, people were on camera or being public with their opinions. This stuff isn't caused by anonymity, it happens anyway, it's just that younger and more connected people are aware of how not to be publicly humiliated than the older generations are and anonymity is one such tool. They'll just keep doing it more as the diversity left keeps using callouts and outrage to shame people for what is basically wrongthink. (And yes, I guess with that last paragraph I'm ideologically aligning with the alt-right, but it's hard not to read Tumblr callout posts and feel like the metronome is swinging too far in both directions.)

Nobody else at the Academy seems to like him, probably for good reason. Ted comes across as slimy and deceitful; he’ll try to win your sympathy by acting pathetic one moment, and then double cross you the next moment if it’ll benefit him. Whenever he tries to smile, it almost looks more like he’s grimacing in pain. It seems like he’s hiding something, deep, deep inside himself. Is it a heart of gold, or a terrible secret?

Except, Bethesda's games are largely enjoyed by quite a few people with the outlier mostly being people complaining on the internet. I also have no idea how Bethesda games are related to this election.

Where have you gone, Joementum-aggio, our nation turns its lonely eyes to you, woo woo woo. Also since talking about state stuff is ok: I voted yes on the euthanasia, minimum wage and tobacco tax proposals. NO on the 2 primary change deals (I really want a primary instead of caucus but see no compelling reason why unaffiliated voters need to be let in, and the 'combined ballot' looks like a recipe for Hanging Chad 2: Throw Chad From The Train). And a big fat HELL NO to the "lol let's make people get signatures from Durango to put an amendment on the ballot, it'll be awesome" amendment. If you don't like amendments, vote against them, but I'm not giving Pissant County a veto on what gets on the ballot if I have anything to say about it.

Oh boo boo some racists lost their job for being racist, because that's the real tragedy, not all the lives they possibly hosed over and set back due to the color of the skin of the people they interacted with. If you don't have the courage of the conviction to take a stand, for right or for wrong, what you express, you're a coward. MLK Jr had the courage, so the Justine Saccos of the world can gently caress right off.
