Goons, we have a great sopranos thread in blockbuster video to talk about this. Right now we need to focus on important feedback topics like the pizza or lack thereof.

What's everyone's favorite kind of Pepperoni?

Big pepperoni

Regular

The kind that curls up a bit into a cup shape?

all this 'shutting down discussion by flooding the thread with irrelevant posts' thing wouldn't be acceptable if it were being done about any other topic

People are changing the subject because you aren't saying anything new, there's nobody disagreeing with you, and by your own admission the thing your complaining about isn't really happening in GBS.

Anyways The Aquabats already declared Friday to be pizza day so I don't want to hear poo poo about Mondays.

i made my outlook on the topic known immediately. solefald has also posted to that effect. other mods and iks are probably not watching atm. this is a discussion that is very well tread ground, which is why it is being treated flippantly, and basically all the points have been made already. i don't think any of the iks/mods want more or less moderation than is currently applied. i don't know what "conclusion" is expected here

It also gets brought up by the same couple people who, rightly or wrongly, elicit steong opinions and responses. And it happens every single time.

It's a dead and buried argument at this point, whichever side of it you're on. At this point it just feels like an attempt at a gotcha moment if the winds feel right. That leads to a disingenuous feeling, and everyone involved starts the same sniping with a few new people added on each side every time. It's dumb as poo poo.

This is a fine enough plan, owing to the difficulty of finding this girl and buying her an account so she can just continue dunking on him.

This idea that it only offends Americans is some delusion that just won't die. It's truly baffling how devoted the UK and Australian posters here at insisting their usage is somehow universal when it's clearly not.

It is 100% the exact same slur in the UK and Australia they're just way more insistent about using it

On an unrelated note, the r-word is a term of endearment where I grew up in the Appalachians so I am formally requesting special dispensation to use it in my threads

I'm reminded of the poster on the Goonstation forums who insisted that the n-word was just a term of endearment in Australia, as none of them had ever heard it before so it was just a cute exotic word to them.

Or the other guy who insisted that the f-word wasn't a slur in the UK, and just meant 'a bundle of sticks', and when questioned why he kept calling people he was having tiffs with 'a bundle of sticks', he broke character and went on a rant about how much he hate LGBT people and how the staff were all LGBT people, just in all slur.

A little ironic as the short-form f-word absolutely is a casual and neutral term referring to a cigarette. An english person asking to 'bum a fag' is making a fairly benign request.

*checking the agitators guide to posting* did you know in britain people routinely say "I'd like to deport all the minorities" as a colourful way of asking for a cup of tea?

Fag (cigarette) useage is heavily dropping off overall in the UK. Not even sure why it was a thing
