When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

There is zero reason to try and be a stickler to get the harmless mockery of a pro wrestler removed.

That rivals pun stuff was championed by a person who was angry about sports slights 24/7, as well as another person who was similar and was a serial abuser. its purpose was to stop people from pissing them off a ton, with the one positive side effect being that it helped cut down on stupid slur usage. It was never some kind of great idea that made sure the forums were high quality.

It is kind of a silly rule for sure although it's nice to not have to read about people always saying "The Los Angles Draft Dodgers" "Connecticut Failures" "The New York Archaic Fashion Enthusiasts" "The Texas Racist and Generally Unnecessary Paramilitary Force" "The Cleveland Fake Color That Only Exists Within Context of Other Colors" puns like they do on rivals.com all the time I'm sure.

It makes sense as a rule to hit people with when they get into dumb fights about their sports team but Wangman isn't hurting anyone. Same way Jelly Janela would get you tossed out on sight since we all know that is in fact a rivals.com level pun since it comes from Corny.

we had that rule and it was redacted so we could bask in the glory of butt the shitman fart. i just cut it out of the new rule thread when I made it

the main example was calling former cowboys qb tony romo "tony homo" so that might give you an idea of why it existed in the first place

It's been covered, but yeah – if the puns and jokes that get run into the ground here become actually offensive rather than just a little annoying because they're overused then we may need to re-litigate on rivals.com puns

Keep in mind I'm not trying to be dismissive here! I feel like there are two reasons why I've never heard of sealioning before:

1.) The only webcomic I've ever read is Achewood, and due to me being brokebrained I can't remember a single thing I did in 2014. I wish I was joking but I can barely even remember last week.

2.) I don't engage in serious discourse online, because I consider myself left-wing and it's loving exhausting.

But then this is also a pro wrestling and people punching each other in the face board. I just think it's a bit silly that people can get so (I only say this because I can't think of a better word) serious about it. There shouldn't be any need for false discourse or whatever!

Maybe I'm just old (30+).

There's no reason why anyone should know what sealioning means. First time I heard about it I thought it was an attempt at a joke. I only eventually googled it because it came up occasionally over the course of several years.

I'm sorry I used the term, mainly because I feel really bad about it because it lead to someone else getting poo poo on. The post was a request for empathy, and, well, I guess I didn't do a very good job at inspiring that.

To whichever mod/admin graciously removed my red text avatar, is it possible to restore the previous version which didn't have the offensive text?

i think you can find your old av to help the mod/admin expedite the process here: https://goons.neocities.org/

i'd like to explain the history of similar situations. the admins don't tend to restore avs that are blanked for being offensive, but forum mods have given out free avs for any reason all the time for 20 years. for that reason it might be worth asking, though it might be even more worth asking in a pm to a sympathetic person. here is the avatar in case anyone wants to be able to grab it quickly. if you don't want to do that then who cares? it's none of my business and never was. don't talk to me about it and don't look at me like you're expecting me to say anything else. in terms of a 1 on 1 personal conversation, we're done with that sort of thing.

i apologize for my rudeness above. i'm scared of talking to you (person reading this) and my defense mechanism went a little haywire. it's absolutely a 'me' problem as you might have well understood without a response like this. once again i apologize and i hope to find you and post with you under better circumstances.

Thank you both, i've already been in touch with a mod (or rather the other way around) about it on pms.

I have plat now for some reason? ruining my nearly 20 year streak of never having had as a user. I would like to thank my very generous benefactor but also now I'm afraid that cowards will shout at me in private when I post an insane take.

Luckily I saved my sole avatar earlier so I had it on hand already although it took a little searching.
