Over in CSpam they're talking about a forum that was started after Lowtax's last accusation (which I somehow heard nothing about). I've registered there pretty much sight unseen. No idea if it's actually any good. I'm only mentioning it here because if people migrate I think it would be cool for migration to occur to a single place rather than a fight island replacement and a cspam replacement and a batmans secret replacement, etc. Anyways that's breadnroses.net. This post should not be taken as a recommendation for that particular site since I don't even know if it is good. I'm just posting so the various different subgroups I look at have at least a chance of landing in the same place.

its not good, fam

No one was outed. Cuntellectual tried to get into a trans discord, their general behavior history and inconsistencies were brought up to the mods of that discord, and when she didn't get in she did the extremely pro move of coming to the forums and outing herself.

This is cool that you are literally trying to gaslight this because you don’t like her, but this is incorrect. When the admins tried to find a post where she outed herself, they were unable. QC outed her and she had multiple days of harassment from people she never knew or met on discord after the outing. It is cool that these are people you want to protect, but I am close to her irl and the story you all put forth because she is a very lovely poster is pretty hosed up

There's no good answer for that. Personally, I'm not comfortable making jokes about things like rape, probably because I don't see a way to make it funny, even through dark humor. Why I'm able to curb that sentiment with something like Velveteen Dream jokes, I don't know. I guess it's like I said in my earlier post. I hated all the jokes about Adam Rose's kid, but there were others that clapped along. We all have our things we hate to even joke about. I don't mean to harp on that or even talk bad about MotU, it's just an example that springs to mind.

Regarding your edit, I do think the fact that Velveteen Dream is not only a television presence, but heavily pushed, makes it easier for people to comment on it in a comedic way.

Reading this made me feel a little bad about the jokes since they were surely in bad taste (the jokes were likely good as jokes though, structure wise) and I looked up Adam Rose expecting to see like real bad news and I did see real bad news and that's how Adam Rose looks now but his first son is still living which is pretty good, since his outlook was real bad

Sorry, I didn't mean for it to seem like I was specifically talking about new people because I agree, I think the majority of new posters get treated well. I also agree that we've had toxic posters fester though I think that festering is because discussion wasn't allowed. If you came in at a 5 or an 11 it was treated as unallowed because you could never post about posters. But asking people to ask some questions and try to clarify things before assuming bad faith doesn't feel like it would keep us from having those discussions. I'm also suggesting this because I can think of examples where a regular poster said something they meant as innocuous but was read as offensive by another person. Instead of asking something as simple as "what did you mean?" they immediately come in with his blazing. It's exhausting and it's especially exhausting when you see it directed at people who had a long history of posts that indicate they're not the person they're being accused of being.

I got piled on by a few people as being racist for thinking that the story of Sasha Banks and Bayley laying on the ground was a funny concept and it literally almost entirely killed the subforum for me

Mods shouldn't be expected to be Always Online when things go out of control like twice a month for two hours, wanting a mod that's active all day is one thing, trying to put the ones down who can't be is a lovely thing to do. Like what are they gonna do, quit their day jobs to babysit us for a dead comedy internet forum?

no but when they notice they should actually step the gently caress up and ban or ban + 30 people who do despicable poo poo over and over. you dont wanna put money in a domestic abusers pocket by banning someone? cool, just enable verbal abuse and threats over the internet instead. mods are enablers if they keep up this weak poo poo

It's just an out to use to be a coward anyways, admins are banning people still and people have been banned for poo poo since this whole lowtax discussion.
