That was r/relationships where he tried to claim he stepped on a cockatoo in the middle of the night and it died. No one believed him.

one of my favourite things about the r/relationships thread is people constantly glossing over the actual genders of the people in the stories

No, it was definitely a Pet Island mod because it's one of the lines in the Triticum Parisian catacombs post.

i think you're both talking about different things - the cockatoo stepping and the overheated mod bird death are different stories. there's just a whole lot of bird death going around.

The sub is 90 percent women posting about their very abusive boyfriends or husbands, it's an understandable mistake.

i suppose! but people could just read. it's like it takes half a page for most posters to realise when there's a gay couple

But after she had gone on a tirade and deleted all the PYF Tits/rear end/porn star saying they were gross and immature and a stain on the forums.

it's so incredibly dumb when people act like she was a hypocrite for not wanting porn on the forums while writing porn off the forums herself. maybe somethingawful isn't a porn website but there's nothing wrong with porn in other places??

The "nazis being overrepresented in furries" thing is probably just part of the general "facist group membership being overrepresented in populations of gay men" thing. It sounds really counterintuitive, but its apparently documented in the US and europe. I guess facist groups are almost entirely unattached young men so maybe its a target rich environment for some (lovely, short-sighted) gay dudes? Or maybe an internalized self loathing thing? I've never really understood it. Its not new though, i first read about this in like 2006 i think.

Furries do seem to be doing well at tossing out nazis from what i've heard.

facism can be extremely homoerotic, if anyone is interested in this subject they should have a look at Klaus Theweleit's book Männerphantasien, it's all available online in pdf form for free

I've heard this and I've even repeated it, but it's it true?

why are you repeating something you have no idea is true or not?

It pushed a narrative that I supported and I thought it was funny; also it was at least a couple of years ago.

but seriously, how have you never heard dragula before? I assume you have heard War Pigs?

i have never heard dragula before either

i was confused for a while because i thought people were talking about the song from draghoula - a film about a jewish scientist who gets turned into a cross dressing vampire

Pick famously was like "look realistically you need to have at least like 15 million to be rich"

Because I guess 5 mil is like comfortable but not yacht rich

Pick is playing a character - fragile WASP with parental trauma who does the same thing over and over, i.e. saying it's fine for your partner to beat you, saying autistic people would be better off dead, saying most posters don't know what wealth really is.

It's obvious what she's doing and she's said a million times she thinks it's funny how GBS rises to the bait - all porn is bad, eugenics could be useful, let's be kooky and talk about skinning animals.

She could be a lot of fun if people had fun with it but tbf I understand why some people think 'I'm pretending to be an average wasp looking to make this interesting' is just annoying, especially when they don't have a sense of humour about talking about how hitting your significant other is cool.

It's just that people who have an attachment to hitting or being hit also like people telling you that's not normal.

Isn't "some ADTRW thread gets defensive/dismissive of naked children or similar gross poo poo" a semi-common event? I remember this happening a while back with some dungeon-delving anime (Made in Abyss?) that had a lot of sketchy content involving child characters.

yeah it is, those threads and the culture are pretty efficient about doing the whole 'okay yes we know this might be questionable let's just stop talking about it and enjoy everything else about it' - i think it's like deep sea diving where you get acclimatised to a certain pressure slowly so you end up feeling fine about 'just 20% lewd upskirt shots of kids vs 40% and the story is really good!' but people looking in have their eyeballs pop out

Pick posted:

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.

oh sorry, i'm very pro-eugenics so i must have gotten mixed up in trying to be fair, my bad!

she'd carry posting grudges for long rear end times and loved telling people to kill themselves.

i feel like it's hard to make the case that her getting banned sucks when you have this sentence anywhere in the rest of the post

i remember the mods gave her lots of chances and just kept saying 'look all you have to do is stop telling people to kill themselves' but this was impossible for her and they weren't even fun death posts like avshalom's murder threats, they were just insanely vitriolic - but then she felt her wrath was righteous and probably felt it was a badge of honour for her account to be martyred

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

Still having a pretty good chuckle that the last post made in FYAD was a 12 word post, of which 6 were slurs.

so they'd been making improvements? :classiclol:
