The actual gore and death is what I don't want to see on the forums and imo the mod team has done a good job of keeping it off. Posters getting weird about said gore and death is just what happens when it's allowed to stay. And the commonly accepted metric or "major news outlet is using this image, that means it's ok" is imo a very bad one. A picture is horrible regardless of what a private entity or government says.

Mid-Life Crisis posted:Swaths of posters don’t want certain topics discussed at all and it’s rooted in bad faith. I used to think this but banning certain topics is ideological and honest. Posters lobbying to ban (or at least silo) the topic of electoral legitimacy genuinely believe it is a bad faith topic. And in reverse, many posters who don't believe in the legitimacy of liberal democracy may view the banning of such a topic as bad faith. Imo, both sides are wrong. People can have all sorts of exotic, contradictory, or controversial beliefs even if I personally think they're too absurd to be serious.

Foxrunsecurity posted:I don't think that a level of paranoia that would lead someone to believe posts they made in public being blind quoted for a chuckle in another part of the same forums means scary authoritarians are coming to get them or are is a sign of creeping fascism is at all healthy and an environment leading to that mindset should be discouraged. Leper's colony posted:Strawmanning, though only the part about creeping fascism, as someone did actually say SYQ could lead to authoritarians going after people irl. User loses posting privileges for 6 hours. My feedback: irl lol.

Maera Sior posted:My feedback: There's too much leniency for users that are trolling, whether they're posting in good faith or not. They know there's been a reaction in the past, they know there will be a reaction in the future, and they don't care. It seems like trolling is defined not by the intention of the poster but by the reception of his post. Interesting.
