There was real solidarity with FYAD on the basis of repeating jokes ad nauseum and getting angry when someone points out how funny it isn't.

Ya im not naming names because im not trying to gossip or make drama, just framing a context as to why there was a slapfight in QCS constantly and the bottomfeeder QCS people weren't helping which is why there were several goddamn QCS threads to get to the bottom of it before this insane for real drama. LK is a good egg and c-spam seems to have warmed up or don't care anymore because earlier because he would probate posts there that were out of context to the culture as a d&d mod so you can see why the QCS threads started cropping up (he wasn't the source of the problem) because it had been unheard of to do that until moderation changed hands. It was literally an unspoken rule about boundaries between the forums before then, and I guess it's now spoken.

sorry if i derailed btw, people were asking about c-spam so i thought i'd try to illuminate from a limited human perspective to the best i can, neutrally~

i feel like this current saga...won't end for a while and its gonna suck until it gets better?

also fwiw, podcasts are kind of stupid because most people parrot or confirmation bias or double down so its pretty lazy signaling and masturbatory imo, there is a chapo thread in c-spam iirc but only a specific niche posts there, everyone else is happy to shitpost but yes, the cumtown people are definitely the ones who want to be edgier as evidenced by that mass probation. that's fine, but don't think that your comedy is better because it's not compared to the stupid goofy shitposting that goes on is the only issue I have with podcasts and the cult-like fanbase mentality around them. Even if they're lefty, its still just insipid pop culture pablum because we're consumerists and we behave like consumerists towards these products as its wrapped in an idea.

also first time i was exposed to pet island there was a mod (i think) going off the rails about how trying to breed a less "gamey" pitbull would be ruining the breed

Yeah, this was definitely a thing when I first lurked Pet Island: very vocal posting about how aggression against other dogs was a fundamental part of the pit bull breed and needed to be maintained as a breed standard, with little or no acknowledgment of why people looking for companion animals might want less aggressive dogs. (I don't remember what the purpose of pit bulls as a breed was supposed to be in this worldview; I don't think anyone was actually a dogfighting advocate. Just really crazy high-maintenance pets?)

This was also the period that I learned that apparently spaying/neutering dogs is controversial in some circles, because IIRC the lead Pit Person had an unneutered male pit because of Opinions.

I will never in my life own a pit that was not bred for being DA as gently caress and directly out of game lines(my recent puppy is a gen removed from a game breeding, so his parents are game bred, but he is not because they are used for hunting and nothing else) and I pretty much feel like anyone who has opinions about pits being unsuitable for the average owner should just...not get one and not tell the average owner to get one. We tell average people not to own border collies because the drives they are bred for conflict with what the average owner wants and can handle in a dog- when it comes to pits, at LEAST admit that you don't understand the way game dogs work and the way pit fighting works (hint: michael vick knew nothing about pits or pit dogs and was not a dog man) and just say you find the practice repugnant and leave it at that. This discussion occurs a couple of times a year in pet island and both sides have made up their minds and it isn't going to change, we all might as well go jerk off over old bully thread debates because this is so boring.

I am fine with all the shelter pits being euthed if adopters can't deal with their drives. I am NOT fine with those drives being bred out of them to make them more suitable for the average owner to own them, just like everyone feels about every working breed ever. Deleting DA isn't going to solve the problem of poo poo ownership and over breeding.

Here is where people yell about how offensive dog fighting is without having any idea about how it's meant to work- im gonna be over here having a party with my DA as gently caress working pits (who live with each other and other animals just fine, in spite of being DA!) while circle jerking w/ myself over their obnoxious gamedog ~pedigrees~

When the loud fur and showmoms win, I'll kiss my last game-line pit and lower him into the earth like a rare, extinct flower and then go buy some american bulldogs and staffies. ~rip~

edit: i become bad at grammar when I yell about pit bulls
