Sorry that I referenced three whole months ago where "Mega Tard" was the rallying cry of the dumbest assholes on the forums.

Lmao I'd have an opinion, but it's just too weird. I still wear a mask and everything

Gotta say that I strongly dislike the present moderating climate of aggressively punishing and shaming people who are or care for immunocompromised people for getting frustrated and lashing out at being called r-slurs and dangers to the forums and society on a whole for years.

this got reported as being anti vaxx

just to be clear to lurkers, Bastard Tetris specifically worked on bamlanivimab, which hasn't worked since omicron and is no longer authorized to be used anywhere in the US

im happy to see itt mods agree with me - people making pharmaceuticals to combat the pandemic are clearly pandemic profiteers and should be punished

Do you really believe that saying mods or trolls are setting out to aggressively punish and shame immunocompromised people is a fair description of what's happening lately?

i think it’s ok to call people who fantasize about doing mass shootings at Costco or commit acts of animal cruelty dangers to society, regardless of how robust their immune system or that of their loved ones are OP

idk man I just went hard on the ignore list and laughed at some fuckin losers crying in SAD, I’ve made literal millions of dollars combating a global pandemic and my team’s prevented hundreds of thousands of deaths if not millions

I’m happy to provide advice for people to protect themselves and their loved ones, this virus is no joke and it’s going to be a mass disabling event, but forum wars on some web 1.5 website are some of the least relevant poo poo ever

this was super funny until I realized I’m going the opposite direction. I’ve given up elastomerics into growing my beard back. I still wear a Vflex, but I don’t go out into public enough to warrant the strange looks. I’m weak

sure, feel free to engage with those posts if they come up anywhere. reporting them would be helpful too

To put things very openly and directly, I think that the mods and admins have continually failed to handle things until it gets into deep frustration and escalation that builds over years.

In my brief period as IK, I had queued longer probes on dongicus, who was openly trolling the thread, calling us r-slurs, going on complete breakdowns about how we don't get enough pussy and was told that it would just escalate things to probe people beyond what the rules said. This led to me quitting when it just built up into this absurd thing with posting Mega Tard over and over and WAIST getting an avatar mocking the death of his uncle and feeling like me and Trixie were just getting tons of heat without any support.

I feel like posting a screenshot of a report and giving it 30 days or giving trashy owl a week for getting frustrated and making a couple dumb posts completely runs against the whole "disproportionate" poo poo vylekin gave me and that people in this thread keep being told we are obligated to be on our best behavior when people can go around making up whatever dumbass lore about the thread and individuals that they want in the fractal drama threads.

I bring up the immunocompromised point because while I do think some of these posts are bad, I think given that our whole society is throwing people under the bus to die, understanding that actual people are writing these posts and showing a little loving grace to their lives would be better instead of insulting LC entries and way longer punishments than the posts can actually call for.

Like this poo poo

Nobody was fantasizing mass shootings at Costco. Does anyone on the mod team actually, genuinely think that facetoucher cat's admitted psychosis and whatever actually happened in the reality of her story has *anything* to do with the covid thread now almost 3 years later?

They had collars with tags but there was no way I was letting them break skin on me. I will kill an animal with my bare hands if needed. Play time is over

bobtheconqueror posted:

So, help me out here. Can you help me understand how coming in here to relitigate old drama with the obvious implication that the whole thread is responsible not perpetuating an us vs them mentality? Is that the sort of thing that is bad and probatable or does that only apply one way?

Tulip posted:

So I've done several qual fit tests and you can get a honest to god real seal with a secure click with a basically arbitrarily large beard. The surface interaction between hair and silicon is just completely different than that between hair and cloth/polypropylene. I haven't done a quant test (because I don't have the materials or training to do so), so grain of salt, but elastomerics are much better with facial hair than N95s (which failed instantly every time I tested).

facetouchercat was banned last year for killing a dog not three years ago. so idk, i think the whole 'people are making up things' angle you're going for here is a bit off because lmao, you straight up insinuated someone was a pedophile because of their username being the same as an anime/manga character. so getting bent out of shape because people are saying distorted things about the covid thread after all the bans and insane posts is pretty funny to see when you take that into consideration.

Yeah it’s stupid to insist on growing a beard when the fit of a negative‐pressure respirator is important to one’s health.

But if you’re going to do so, elastomerics are significantly less bad. You will need to tighten the straps more than you otherwise would, and this will be uncomfortable for prolonged periods of wear.

I think it kinda sucks to frame things that thread regulars dislike or probes for bad posts as particularly setting out to target the immunocompromised.

And finally while I understand and respect that immunocompromised and people from all walks of life post in this thread, I think it kinda sucks to frame things that thread regulars dislike or probes for bad posts as particularly setting out to target the immunocompromised. That's not what anyone is setting out to do here, even the meanest trolls, I don't think.
