I hate The Last Boy Scout. Shane Black's most misogynistic script, terrible acting, terrible action, and the cinematography looks like 80s grey puke.

Like, don't Americans work longer hours than workers in other first world/developed nations (aside from maybe Japan or South Korea)? And yet due to hatred of unions and other dirty socialist ideals, the income disparity is some of the highest of any first world nation.

It turns out that Americans, maybe all people everywhere, are just begging for a strong and authoritative leader to tell them what to think and how to feel. Right wing assholes are just the only ones stepping up to that plate right now, and now we're wading in their poo poo because their ideas are poo.

You can at least express a difference in opinion with out catching a ban/probation in GBS. D&D and all its subforums are just echo chambers where any conflicting opinion gets shouted down with in seconds. I agree with a lot of the popular opinions over there, but gently caress posting in that cesspit.

I haven't read much D&D so I don't know how it compares, but I stopped reading E/N awhile ago because it was full of the most awful, callous people I ever saw on the forums. People getting blamed for everything bad that happened to them regardless of whether it was their fault, nonstop lovely edgy jokes about people in awful abusive situations, mods who didn't care about people walking into threads for minorities and openly but "ironically" saying that they should kill themselves, the likes. It was the worst hive of edgelords I've bothered to expose myself to.

SPAM is not as gross as people make it out to be. It's salty as hell, but otherwise makes for good breakfast fixins every now and again. Treet is better, though, and a hell of a lot cheaper.

D&D and all its subforums are just echo chambers where any conflicting opinion gets shouted down with in seconds. I agree with a lot of the popular opinions over there, but gently caress posting in that cesspit. I can only think of several times (if that) that people have gotten probated/banned for posting opinions that weren't super obviously terrible. I generally like D&D's moderation, because if dumb, dishonest arguments weren't cracked down on to some extent it would end up the exact same as almost every other political discussion on the internet. If you let some dumb right winger post stuff everyone else will reply to them trying to explain why they're wrong, and this derails threads. And even then, people don't get probated/banned just for having bad opinions; that only happens if they 1. try to argue those opinions and are repeatedly dishonest/disingenuous while doing so or 2. have opinions that are so bad they cross over into explicit bigotry. There is some mild bias, but it only manifests in the sense that some dumb left-wing people aren't probated when dumb right-wing people would be for the same level of posting, and the problem there is that the former aren't also being probated, not that the latter are. A good example is this poster asdf-something. He is clearly to the right of most posters in D&D economically, but he doesn't get probated/banned because his arguments aren't transparently stupid or dishonest. There was also this kinda dumb guy "just asking questions" about feminism in some other thread, but he didn't get probated because he wasn't being transparently bigoted. If you really feel the need to express your right-wing views, there are a million other places on the internet you can do so (or even in this forum, I think; aren't TFR and GiP comparatively right-wing?). I think it's a good thing to have a discussion forum where threads don't constantly get derailed by idiots talking about how All Lives Matter or whatever. D&D certainly has problems, but being over-moderated is not one of those problems. So I guess my unpopular forums-related opinion is that D&D is pretty good, and that the problems it has have nothing to do with being over-moderated or "too PC" or whatever.

A forum called "debate and discussion" should have debate and discussion. debating and discussing usually has people on both sides of the topic discussing their thoughts on it, but not in D&D. it is an echo chamber. I recall a mod thread made about it with the contents of the op being "stop banning people for disagreeing you dumb fucks its called debate and discussion for a reason" and then they got shouted down by the local posters for about a hundred pages.

I'm not worried about it, I'm just not sure why you have such a strong opinion

The only unappetizing thing to me about it is that it's from a can. Other than that it's just like any other processed ham-like precooked meat. It's definitely better cooked than cold though, I couldn't imagine eating it on a sandwich like deli ham.

There are a few great progressive posters on the forum, but alongside those posters, there are a tonne of white noise progressive posters who post a bunch of garbage. asdf32 posts much better than the white noise progressive posters on the forum and receives more probations than the average D&Der. There is safety in numbers. asdf32 isn't really that conservative in the grand scheme of things, but in D&D he is fringe. Edit: e.g., if you read the abortion thread on D&D now, you will see that it consists of 100% pro-choice posters, some of which are entertaining arguments about kind of thorny ethical issues related to abortion. Alongside them are a few posters who are getting really upset that any sort of argument is happening at all, aren't really engaging the posts in the thread, and instead are just copy-pasting pro-choice advocacy group advertising copy. silence_kit has a new favorite as of 17:29 on Feb 17, 2017 |

I think there's viewpoints that are actually totally fine to entirely dismiss as horrible and incorrect and arguing them over and over on the internet is boring, specially when there's so many other issues that don't have as clear answers that can be talked about. But super basic poo poo like "is racism good?" is a settled issue with anyone worth discussion with and I'm fine being in an "echo chamber" where outspoken racists, or sexists, or homophobes get shut down so actually interesting discussions hopefully a level or two above "youtube comment arguments" can happen.
