Not that I have need of it at the moment, but is there some button my blind rear end is missing to report just an entire thread, or do you have to report like...the OP or individual posts in the thread?

If you feel the entire thread is irredeemable, I would suggest reporting the first post in the thread and saying your piece in the report itself.

Out of context the phrase 'Pipe bomb cows' sounds really funny to me, like an over the top Diablo reference. But man, is the context sad.

Figured as much, but I have a history of overlooking things that are right in front of me, so I couldn't be sure.

The thing that really gets me is that most of these chucklefucks are probably middle aged or pushing it; how much a pathetic stunted failson do you have to be this obsessed with people on the Internet that are just different than you when you're in your 40's?

That lameass avatar hit list post becomes 10x funnier when you consider it was compiled and posted by someone who's probably in their mid 30's at least. a full grown adult thinking cartoon avs will be the decisive public opinion blow lmao.

I'll let you in on a secret though, a few of my posts at the fyad users weren't sincere :ssh:

:aaa: say it ain't so

real talk tho they've been used to playing QCS for so long and the usual schtick is so effective at derailing things into paralysis that it's refreshing and necessary when someone cheerfully calls it out like that.

On that note tho, a lot of people did the most from all corners of the forums, and I'm grateful to all of you, starting with the TGRS crew and working outwards. I'm mostly a weird lurker with no real posting home but the trans threads and general LGBT threads across the boards have been immensely helpful to me over the years even as a silent observer, and I'm sure to others in the perpetual lurker contingent.

a few of them are persona non grata in cspam, they just skirt around when they post there because they aren't flouting the rules and they know because c-spam self polices very well so not surprised that the creepy misogynist with the naziwife fetish flamed out for slurring since it was banned in c-spam so they had to go vent it elsewhere, and the amazing part is that they actually believe they're smarter than most cspam posters with incredible disdain for them. we had to fight with one mod who wanted to make an exception to the ableist slur to apply it to donald trump only but you and I can clearly see how any dipshit can circumvent that rule easily, and not many people particularly like that mod even though he does his job i guess. thats why there is a little friction in c-spam about moderation atm but it pales in comparison to this insanity.

Yeah that's what it looked like when I skimmed a few of their post histories. Hopefully someone comes in with a thorough ban soon.

I think this got mentioned several pages back, but this thread's moving quickly. I mostly just hope Turtlicious is all right and that, if he actually made homemade pipe bombs to murder cows, they've been safely disposed of.

I don’t think they made those to murder cows, I think their obsession with destroying livestock and manic IED construction were two separate things occurring at the same time. Blowing up some cows isn’t a “this’ll make all the news channels!” Type thing. But there’s like a zero percent chance those things were disposed of properly, so hopefully their isn’t a bunch of decomposing explosives in the back of their backyard waiting for a deer to fart funny around it and make a giant crater.

Though it’s Turtlicious, so who knows. I’m glad they got perma’d. Not because I didn’t like their posting (though I really didn’t), but because this place was obviously not good for their mental health at all.

Turtlicious, if their posts in the r/r thread are true, had a completely miserable childhood. Which resulted in a hostility to the very concept of family, which made for some fascinating conversations in that thread.

my av has nothing to do with that, it's just a funny coincidence

i got tired of looking at the New Day one because i had it for literally years, and meant to change it for a while, so when i got paid this week i went in the CineD genchat discord and went "hell yeah new av time"

then i couldn't decide what to put so i crowdsourced ideas, and now i have a cropped version of the goatman with a quote from The Irishman

honestly i'm surprised i didn't get redtitled for those posts though

i didnt see anyone respond to it but the "ac/dc hadoukens" part of the fyad post was abt, if i remember correctly, a pet island mod who kept a space heater next to her bird's cage and cooked it to death. this is the same bird who was farted around so much it spoke in farts. i think the mod was "pile of kittens"?

It's baffling, especially since they mostly ignored my question of "They can't even get subtitles right, and that's basic poo poo. Why are we giving them the "it's their artistic vision" benefit of the doubt instead of just assuming they don't want to put in the time?" The only counter anyone had was "Most games have subtitles!" which...yes, but they often suck.
