I mean, it's not completely wrong. I really do hate most conservatives and what they stand for. I guess I'm a hypocrite for hating the hate then.

Hate isn't the danger, hate motivates us and moves us. the danger is that hate being used as an excuse to hurt. I hate Trump as a person, a symbol, and as a thinker, and I wouldn't harm a hair on his head. Hope he gets invited to the mcdonalds ball or whatever.

But it'd be nice if he stopped hurting people, and more specifically people who are like me. And stopping him from hurting me doesn't hurt him. :)

FYAD closing was a meme because it was always known that FYAD was dancing a knifes edge for the last ~10 years because it's been pretty lovely for ~10 years.

Now it's dead. :toot:

The hottest take: FYAD was never loving funny, it was always a bunch of bigoted shitlords and it was accepted because that humor was allowed until the ones effected finally scraped and scrimped enough power together to stand up and say, "gently caress you, I am a human being, and I deserve to be treated like one"

FYAD didn't go bad. We just finally opened up the long-forgotten tupperware in the abandoned fridge in the forgotten junkyard of the internet that is Something Awful and smelled the long-decomposed remnants of the ancient maggot-encrusted stool sample that is FYAD therein.

Not with his new cyborg spine. Uwe Boll already did the spine rip. Lowtax won't be fooled again.

Without wanting to cause a derail in this thread, is there a thread that has info on what exactly went on with the FYAD closing? I'm curious as to some of the drama I missed.

Edit: VV I got that from the stickies. But why is that vice article "revisionist history"? Again, not looking to start a derail, just looking for a thread discussing it.

I came home from work yesterday to see the World of Warcraft Twitter community talking about being blocked by some guy none of them knew. After some searching, it came to light that after this fella made two very stupid remarks, he lost his poo poo because a woman he was harassing only responded "ok" to him. Word gets around quick in WoW Twitter, as do screenshots.

It's a somewhat big album but the jist of it: he tries to deflect blame, pull the puppet master defense, and then brags about blocking about 11.5K people.

I'm really sad I was blocked and that he's now locked down his Twitter. I should have grabbed screenshots last night of him bragging about blocking folks. (It took nine tweets if you're wondering.)

When you replied "ok", you cheated not only the conversation, but yourself.

You didn't grow.
You didn't improve.
You took a shortcut and gained nothing.

You experienced a hollow victory. Nothing was risked and nothing was gained.

It's sad that you don't know the difference.
