I know it could only be seasonal like the paranormal forum but if we could have an Andrew Lloyd Webber subforum for like ooooone week I think that would really give us a chance to appreciate the holidays in the spirit that jesus et al. intended

why do we need a subforum dedicated to a fictional character portrayed by comedy great Paul F Tompkins?

Wicked does suck, but it at least stopped Phantom of the Opera from being played 24/7.
my biggest grudge with wicked is it practically guarantees any other adaptations of the book are permanently scrapped since they wouldn't want brand confusion, and disney (I think they're the ones with the musical film options now) would pay good money to avoid it

also reefer madness or assassins if we're giving non gag answers for best musical

You can't adapt Gregory Maguire's novel Wicked but you can go nuts adapting The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, which is public domain. ALW's Wizard of Oz is based on the movie, so it did require rights, but it still ran fine post-Wicked.

I have a special hatred for Cats because my extremely manipulative grandmother tricked me into going to it.

She called up my mother and told her that my uncle, who was kind of a crazy loner who grew his own pot and once drew a gun on his mailman, thought it would be really nice if he took us to Cats for his birthday. Then she called up my uncle and told him that me and my mother really wanted to take him to Cats for his birthday

We got to the intermission and we were all standing there in a triangle telling each other how much we liked Cats, only to realize that we all hated it and had been tricked. And that we were all idiots for falling for my grandma's extremely stupid lie. Then we just went and got some food and laughed about all the weirdo Cats cast members running through the audience.

Honestly, FYAD slowly distilling into an incredibly gross place of unironic bigotry feels like something we should've been able to see coming with the past 5+ years of reality as a preview.

this is actually a pretty good analogy, since the titular Watchmen were Superincel, Regular Incel, Chud-Man, Conspiracy Chud-Man, and A Girl

I've assumed it's closed while admins/mods figure out what to do with it and it's culture of pretending really, really hard that it's ironically racist and bigoted.

Their use of AGP to refer to trans people was all I really needed to know that it wasn't nearly as "ironic" as they wanted people to think. Using a homophobic, transphobic theory that is disdained by most of the trans community, but isn't as well known outside those circles and psychology circles is the most dogwhistle thing I can think of off-hand.

And as someone who underwent conversion therapy in the youth clinic accompanying the adult clinic run by the autogynephilia guy, none of it is helpful or therapeutic

hi how are you


it's bullshit obviously but it makes trans people out to be sex obsessed men whose cocktail dresses will be crusted with semen from constantly jacking off when they can't find a rape victim in a women's toilet, so it's very useful for a certain kind of bigot who's obsessed with trans people

Meanwhile you only have to look at QCS to see that the rest of the subforum are assholes who are fine with bigotry.

While I appreciate all the going’s on lately, i noticed that several time mods mentioned that due to mod and admin work schedules and real life obligations things took time. Would it not be a good idea to remove them and instead use people without things that might get in the way of the site?

That runs into the earlier problem of "who is actually trustworthy with mod buttons?".

I'm sure as poo poo not volunteering, I don't like having responsibility and given the buttons there's one poster I likely wouldn't be able to resist slapping at least once.
