Ask me about shitposting in SAD to get the attention my parents never gave me
Isn't it weird that every time the mods ban someone for saying a thread is hosed up and full of pedophiles they casually have to walk it back and end up cleaning house (but still leave the person banned who brought it up).

Personally I think posting images of cartoon children to jerk off to is worse than typing some forbidden words but I don't have a star so what do I know?

I unbanned synthy's alt and ended Dongicus's probe early. If there were any other The Bloop probes still active when I became aware, I would have ended those too. Ruffini would be posting if he hadn't made the jump to KYS, which is the same anyone would get for that post regardless of thread.

True. That's why anyone who posted anything related to children ate permas and Ruffini got a ban+30.

maybe the anger of seeing people posting ash from pokemon getting hosed in teh rear end warranted telling someone to kill themselves.... I dunno. Probably worth unbanning Ruffini too and ending his probe, you know, because he actually is the reason all this happened anyway. Just a thought

Oh this one is actually real. The CIA funded tons of writers’ workshops to create anti-Communist art.

that one is really funny because its basically just like "the only way that anyone could ever consider naked polemics that spend 400 pages doing nothing but laying out ideology in place of a story or characters bad writing is if the CIA were involved"

I mean there have been big arguments about time, where it is set, what it means and why things are measured in specific ways is really important to a whole load of processes.

On top of that you do have arguments about how measuring is worked out and how and why things that are considered "natural" can be constructed, but that's more philosophy rather than weird people on twitter.
