edogawa rando posted:Do you have any examples of this? It 100% exists often in combination with Emi Sakura/Joshi derangement syndrome where people post really wild takes about why Tony Khan is elevating Britt who buries the division and sucks in ring, doesn't put Emi on tv, hates the Joshi wrestlers on the roster, hates women's wrestling etc etc etc. There's some real vicious poo poo out there about Britt that far outweighs whatever she's done on AEW programming. It's maybe more of a genre of post on twitter and reddtt than here but it exists and occasionally leaks into the forums. Here's a good sampling: https://twitter.com/search?q=britt%20khan&src=typed_query Edit for a note on current forum dynamics: As a serious posting warrior (check out my rap sheet), my feeling is that most of the forum has mellowed out and become more reasonable on both sides of the divide since the list incident. Mostly everyone's coexisting pretty reasonably and not trying to make everything one thing or another. fez_machine fucked around with this message at 08:26 on Sep 2, 2022 |

There's been increased mod intervention generally outside this thread that's been received well and this was hardly the biggest.

flatluigi posted:please don't spin this into 'you're the REAL problem for calling it out' because that's worse than anything else posted on this subject in this thread I don't think they're the real problem, the real problem is indeed the poster they were complaining about. Mekchu does use heightened rhetoric and shoots from the hip though and the wrong post caught a stray which undermined their point.

This is why I don't like implications analysis, nowhere have I said there was a "real" problem, a conspiracy, or people trying to ruin anything. People making up a guy and putting words in their mouth.

I'll plug my dead effort post thread Wrestling Guides Thread: Effort Post Your Faves, if people really want a place to do long form stuff but don't know where to put it. Eventually, I'll write my posts on Colt Cabana's 2019 in NJPW, a weird run that was ended very abruptly by the pandemic but left us with the indelible image of him awkwardly standing with the major NJPW faces as NJPW said good bye to Tiger Hattori.

This forum on the whole apart from the weepy wangman stuff (which is annoying but mostly a kind of joke, I think?) is a 1000 percent more positive about wrestling and wrestlers than most other venues. You rarely see the seething hatred or open loathing for wrestlers at low skill levels, have had a bad match, or suit a different taste in wrestling that are commonly seen in other places.

STAC Goat posted:For whatever its worth I'll simply address the "I feel like I'm reading a different forum" thing. I think its very easy and normal that if you're on the inside of a group you might not notice things that group does or you will interpret it in a different way than people outside of it will. That's not bad, its human nature. We all have our own perspective. Trusting your own perspective as the objective truth is an easy trap to fall into, and its even more tempting if you have friends reinforcing that. A thread like this should be a helpful place to hear other perspectives and try and see how this place is being seen by everyone. And I think its helpful to hear that out instead of dismissing it as sometimes happens because it doesn't reflect what you see. At least that's my take. this whole thing started because EMF posted something wildly negative and unfunny in the AEW thread and everyone jumped on them there really isn't an in group

Thank you both, i've already been in touch with a mod (or rather the other way around) about it on pms. I have plat now for some reason? ruining my nearly 20 year streak of never having had as a user. I would like to thank my very generous benefactor but also now I'm afraid that cowards will shout at me in private when I post an insane take. Luckily I saved my sole avatar earlier so I had it on hand already although it took a little searching.

Hammond Egger posted:LividLiquid is part of a marginalised group. They felt that even though the Acclaimed are also parts of marginalised groups that they were still fomenting the same kind of reaction towards marginalised groups that Donald Trump was facilitating. The collective absolutely dogpiled LL for making the comparison and it ended with a quote that has stuck around in the first post of the AEW thread for over a year now. LL just popped into an AEW thread a while back to politely ask if it could be removed because they felt personally attacked every time they saw it. No matter what you believe about how it was said or whether it was valid or whatever, why the gently caress couldn't anybody just say "oh yeah we've got a shitload of stuff in that post already, it really doesn't matter to us if it helps you feel more like a member of our community" and get rid of it? It's a rhetorical question by the way, I already know the answer and it's why I've basically done an overly prolonged banme request. This is what Lividliquid actually said for reference: LividLiquid posted:I get up to check on dinner when The Acclaimed are on. I just can't begin to enjoy their work and they come across as the kids whose parents don't pay enough attention so they scream curse words until everybody's looking at them. which was rightfully mocked If LL had specifically mentioned the bad Acclaimed rap about rape rather than "kids whose parent's don't pay enough attention" as being "pretty much Trump" this insane take would have been taken more respectfully

You mean the one that doesn't directly reference LividLiquid in any way shape or form? There's no right to feel like you belong to a community (and the something awful forum isn't a real community, it's a group of strangers having a conversation at best) especially if you said something dumb and got mocked for it.

Hammond Egger posted:Thank goodness we have the posting police here to dictate what constitutes good posting (links to The Rock saying shut the hell up on YouTube) and what deserves to get mocked forever. I didn't even remember what LividLiquid had posted 2 years ago now until you brought it up. The answer is always  normal poo poo about wrestling and everyone kind of forgets.Being so insecure that even being tangentially reminded of it causes emotional pain is not the responsibility of the forum.

AEW Hell thread is turning towards in-fighting. Maybe it needs a break? Or shut down? Negative views only threads tend to go toxic at some point anyway.

all hate threads turn toxic without exception The Devil angle is resolved and the thread is already barely able to handle the Jericho misconduct allegations seriously plus people are getting shoot mad at each other and that's a gross vibe. There's a reason why you can't quote bad takes from the forums in the Regal thread.
