While I think the fyad situation was mishandled overall the reason these forums have survived and continued to be pretty good when compared to the rest of the internet is because rules have generally erred on the side of anti-bigotry. when that poo poo goes unchecked you get 4chan or KF or to a lesser extent the cumtown subreddit. I’d rather see posters eat a ban for posting “r*tard” than see this place devolve into an alt right shithole. (i don’t think that’s what actually was happening in fyad fwiw)

Dude, if you think that R-word should be worth getting a ban over you're full-on [BOOOOP]. It doesn't make us safer from bigots, it just censors a dumb joke that's meant to target the thread and ourselves.

He writes it constantly and also is on record recently as saying he wouldn't give probes for it to anyone. Good job mods.

Even if I don't agree with it at all and think it's a completely dumb reason to probe someone, y'all had to have known you were playing with fire by recreating an FYAD thread that the QCS back seat wannabe mods were currently throwing a tantrum over during the most volatile week the forums have ever seen.

It's easy to expect a sixer, I don't mind that at all.

What we got instead was being lumped with nazis and a month long probe to "send a message" that probably didn't change anyones mind about anything. Hell, they just unperma'd Jack Daniels.

Something Awful, like all social media platforms, is full of people who love exerting ‘power’ over others, no matter how minuscule that flex could possibly be, because they are sad losers who love to ‘win’ because they treat all of life like some grand Good vs Evil video game instead of a cold and uncaring hellscape. Every 6’r they generate through the report button is a victory against their personal ‘other’.

Even if that ‘other’ is literally a member of the group they are trying to defend.

I didn't get angry until three weeks without posting. It was really frustrating. But what're you going to do? :shrug:

There was a lot of this when the old cum town thread caught the 30 days. Lot of androgynous cartoon type posters jeering over something they interpreted as personal victory over evil and ally type posters reporting posts and cheering as the probes queue.

it has nothing to do with weight at all. but telling him that it does, doesnt work either because women still gently caress him, so he doesnt bother to lose weight
