Jastiger also was intolerable in games. He got permabanned from league of legends for spamming "iowa state cyclones!!" Like one hundred times per match and was shocked when he got banned for it. He was also convinced he had been flagged for losses by the game and it became a running joke. He eventually got run out of the league thread.

lol. Didn't he try to rereg at some point and get instantly caught because he's incapable of writing a single post without mentioning Iowa?

So how are we about mocking peoples appearances? I got into this with a few twitter philosophers about that and it's a weird mental grey area. Making fun of someone being fat or ugly is poo poo. lovely people exist. Can you mock lovely people in a way that wouldn't be cool if you did it about a non lovely ugly or fat person? I don't because it feels hypocritical and lovely, but I've learned to just turn a blind eye to it if it's about like Trump or Lena the sister paedo?

Nooner, since you inspired this train of thought, what do you think? If you and I got into it I'd not want to mock your appearance as you and your Mrs are lovely people when you're nice.

I certainly don't think it needs to be moderated one way or another. I think sometimes it's warranted, or at least l funny enough to hand wave away. Other times it's lovely, and people are free to think less of the poster.

This is an interesting point, SA used to be all about making fun of people for how they look but nowadays I feel like a lot of people have moved on from that and when I see it happen I kind of cringe. I would say it might be fine if it's actually funny/clever. If it's literally just "what a fatass lol" that's just lazy posting anyway. I also feel like insults based on the individual and not on their general qualities are not as problematic. Or things that they chose to do like wearing certain clothes etc vs things that they can't change or are very hard to change.

mocking someone's appearance is cruel when its something they can't change. if they dress like a circus clown like lewis hamilton or w/e, fair game

Yeah. This is the kind of poo poo that just needs calling out by other posters rather than censoring.

Continuous harassment of someone because of their appearance is a different matter though.

Exactly, we need to be ahead of the curve on this thing. Its not impressive to denounce things after the fact, we need to do it before it happens. We have to stop what might become offensive!

First thing we need are albino triplets, anyone got any leads?
