There's probably some useful distinction to be made between people who want to gently caress toddlers versus high-schoolers, but they're all under the "scum" umbrella. Scumbrella.

Anyway, when someone says, "what a pedo--" then that's not the time to get into semantics. Everyone knows the loving point, they gently caress kids and that's evil and a crime.

I think the rapist was transgender, but the goon was drumming up support for better treatment in jail. Then they let slip this person was in jail for raping a kid, and welp.

It was for raping their kid to produce child pornography online.

at first it's a good day for doctor sexman, phd. he hires eight books from the library without even bothering to check goodreads and only seven of them are so historically inaccurate that he can't enjoy the hilarious satire about society and politics in the golden age of colonial america. an actual expert comes into the everest thread, finally bringing some sense and objective fact into that wasteland of petty malice. he sees some excellent loss edits, very ingenious and hard to recognise unless you're an expert on the comedic cybersphere (and doctor sexman is better informed than most, not that he's bragging). the houston hotfranks beat the mississippi bayou bandits thanks to the excellent coaching of jankerton brill, esquire, just as he predicted on the forums two days ago. finally he'll get some goddamn respect from the trolls and worthless individuals that plague him every waking second of his life. during class he makes a droll observation about donald drumpf that causes a ripple of polite appreciation among the stamp collectors and full-time guerilla yarnbombers that are his people, the intellectual elite. but then things turn sour. an urban youth on the bus has his music up so loud that the artless doof-doof-doof interferes with sexman's quiet self-reflection. his coffee date pronounces it "expresso" and doesn't even know what adolf hitler's mother was named so he tells her that maybe instead of beauty school she should think about going to high school and leaves the cafe in tears. everywhere he looks is wanton sluttery. a plain girl at the library in a singlet, shoulders bared for all to see when there are people trying to learn. couples kissing in the park, right next to the kindergarten. a gay pride rally blocks his lunchtime stroll and someone has spraypainted a vulgar word on the steps where he likes to sit and phonepost about football statistics. when he arrives back in the office he goes straight to his favourite curated comedy archive the something awful thread "post your favourite something awful quotes" and finds that yet again they're posting something unfunny. no matter how many times he tells them things are unfunny they just keep finding it funny. it's not funny! it's unfunny! there's nothing funny about women being whores. they want to gently caress jfk, they want to gently caress ariel sharon, they want to gently caress centaurs, they want to gently caress each other, they want to gently caress the queen (probably), all these women just slinging their vaginas all over the shop and saying outrageous things like "kill all males" even though killing half the world's population would have a devastating impact on the economy and still the clever hegel girl won't give him her number no matter how many times he tells her he's an educated man. his fury boils over and he erupts in salty flames. when forensics arrives on the scene they find nothing left of the nutty professor but a small pile of ashes and a pool of watery bourbon-coloured ejaculate

When was the last time last time, post GBS 2.0, that GBS produced something like pppppowerbook, or Zombaby, or margarita machine, or sending Joe Biden a pizza, or the Burger King one that spawned "voila, enjoy your mustard smear"? Hell, it's been a minute since we had a Kevin the doll fucker or June the planefucker thread over there.

Every time Im bored and caught up with my bookmarked pages, and I check in over there, it's just stupid monkey cheese threads with page after page of "I'm gay". Every now and again there's a decent photoshop thread, and I always enjoy the annual hurricane hoedown (Jose's saga last year was great). But unless I see a link in the subs I actually hang out in, I haven't clicked on GBS just to browse in quite some time. Which sucks for building a user base, because if all the useful and/or funny stuff is hidden behind the paywall, that's just bad news for these dead gay forums. I used to browse GBS all the time before regging, but if I did now, I sure as poo poo wouldn't pay $10 based on GBS content alone.

I try to make some content threads (like Star Trek doodles and original-character-do-not-steal-dragons) but honestly people also just rush in and out and barely look at or support anyone who is making anything new. There was a time when "request a doodle of Star Trek thing and I'll do it" would have been something more than like 3 goons would get excited about. If we had :moments: now it would just be shitted into the ground day one.

Well, there was a relatively recent incident where in Pick said that beating your significant other is, in fact, cool and good and the only proper way to show your passion for them!


What? See, that's part of why gbs is so dumb. I just said that one slap might not be worth a divorce over (especially in the middle of a justified meltdown), and that acting like it's the trump card for being the victim in a relationship is not accurate, and the fact that it's considered the trump card for all forms of relationship abuse is itself exploited.

I mean it's like the hugh stuff though, the "legend" is more reflective of attitudes about women generally than what was actually happening. I tried to sleep with a guy who invited me camping. Not a huge thing. We hung out a lot after that and didn't talk about it.

Nah you did say the first thing dont be a revisionist.

If your gonna be a lovely person at least own it.

That was me ragging on people who congratulate themselves on being so resigned to life that they don't react to anything. There's a lot of people out there who are proud that they don't do x/y/z "bad thing" but the only reason they don't do that bad thing is because they literally don't do anything.

But there's no reason to re-hash that here, since that's just prob-baiting when right now all I want to do is draw/post star trek stuff, I've been out of the r/r thread for like months because it's gotten too boring, even to troll.

I'm not going to link because A I'm lazy and B I think it would be too helldumpy, but two other big parts of Nessa's story were that she was currently trying to have a baby with her husband, and that she posted a number of times about how wonderful this friend was in a totally platonic way, he definitely didn't want to be with either of them so he was just being nice because he was nice, she wasn't actually into him as more than a friend, their friendship proved men and women could be normal platonic friends, etc.

I do think men and women can be friends, but their situation specifically sounded like a total timebomb. I didn't think she would post about it blowing up, but I'm not in ladythread (it moves too fast for me). Honestly I'm just super glad that she didn't get pregnant first.

This was the most predictable outcome ever, and I have no sympathy for nessa whatsoever, however I'm trying to limit how much of a dick I am in e/n spaces.

I normally ignore bizarrely incorrect perceptions of me that are based on backforming an excuse for not liking me rather than anything I've said or done, even when hilariously wrong (e.g. twice-over not a WASP), but it's hard to imagine how someone came across the notion I'm pro-eugenics when I'm so stridently anti-eugenics that that's what people bitch me out for. I think people have the right to decide whether or not to have biological children with absolutely no regard to their genetics or potential genetics of their children. I don't think people should experience external pressure even in cases like Hunington's or Tay-Sachs, and should not feel any guilt for choosing to have children likely or certain to inherit these or any other conditions. I actually think it's horrifying we're already seeing people congratulate themselves for opting out based on natural human variation like clubbed thumbs. GATTACA poo poo. My reasons for this aren't important and this isn't the place to argue them, but there are plenty of credible reasons not to like me without deciding you dislike me and then ascribing values you think are odious to me in order to justify it to yourself.

Eugenics is poo poo.
