Might as well just post it here since the site moderation has gone to poo poo and the pending "feedback forum" is a comically transparent farce, but this is probably the worst place to talk about being gay/queer than any other social circle, irl or otherwise, because of how insultingly fragile all my supposed allies are. How am I supposed to talk about serious life bullshit with people like this lol

Don’t worry friend they know best.

i dont discuss stuff like that here cuz SA isnt the place for most serious discussion+i'm rather comfortable w/ my identity, but it does make me sigh a bit when ppl who earnestly believe in witchcraft or equate referencing someone's previous username to loving deadnaming try to hide their ignorance/virtue signaling behind being LGBTQ+

sometimes people who are extremely queer are Cringe and its usually harmless because its frequently like teenagers figuring poo poo about themselves out or something. unfortunately if they are loud enough they end up dominating discussions because of weird social dynamics, especially ones about "elevating voices" or whatever. this happens with mental health/minority discussions too and it's rear end.

mental health discussions are great because people with significant mental health problems get ignored due to usually having poor social skills, so instead they end up being focused on how having Danganronpa characters living in your head is exactly the same as severe schizophrenia or DID

i just realized spr's probe is on a post thats almost 3 days old and like 10 pages back in the random thread hand knit hit

they just scoured for any vague m-word post they could find because she was posting anywhere at all again, the greatest sin

This is the same poo poo they did to Synthy. Jeff hit a post in FYAD like 2+ weeks ago. Someone is just combing through people’s post histories for stuff to feed to ~certain mods-

3 days for calling someone “fat” is ridiculous.

It's truly awesome that when admins make a decision on this site it's entirely through the lens of "is this a posting friend who needs to be saved, or a posting enemy who needs to be punished"

It's a hard balancing act to appear disinterested and absent but also very focused on punishment.

I am.amazed the admins can pull it off.

To be fair, the benefits of being an admin must be insanely nice what with how often theyre Just Starting Their Vacation every time drama happens on the forums.

Are admins selected not based on even temperament and love of the community, but the ability to take vacations at the exact wrong times? Is Wilhelm II's cruise to the North Sea an example?

It suddenly makes sense.

they are unfortunately selected based on the powerful fecal smell they constantly exude in real life. the stronger it is, the more authority they are offered in the heirarchy

This is the main question I have at this point, it kinda seems like they hate the site and most of the people who post on it, why are they even admins for it? It seems like a pain in the rear end job to do.

Lol the mods and admins saw a post like "Wow, that sounds like a cool zoo! I live in the area, maybe I'll go check it out sometime." And they spazzed out and said they were "Planning a IRL forum invasion."
