Oh I have been hip to that for about seven years now, but I think it is way worse than Pet Island. Crazy people who like animals I can deal with, since animals are great, but haughty faux intellectuals just rub me the wrong way.

I used to have a real tolerance for CD but the older I get the more it seems like CD regulars refuse to actually acknowledge their blind spots or even acknowledge that they have blind spots, so it became fruitless to try and talk with them. I still post in a few threads I'm subbed to because I still like movies and it's a decent way to keep abreast of movie news, but it can be a real grind if you go against the flow there for any reason whatsoever.

my favorite is that CDers always have to come up with some stupid poo poo how the protaganist is actually an allegory for homosexuality (i.e. riddick is actually gay!) or something stupid like that. even the loving The Guest there was a dude who was like 'my friend' has a theory that the main character is actually gay!

Every character in every movie is racist and gay.

I forget the whole deal with them, but it was a husband and wife posting pair, Sachel and SomethingOrOther DVangel who bred Afghan Hounds and had a really deep and disturbing love of the breed and would post pictures of the bitches in heat, wearing cloth diapers they had made so the dog didn't drip blood and various other juices around the house.

At that point it's pretty much just "crazy dog person" but they attacked other PI posters over stupid poo poo in basically all dog threads. Which is basically general PI posters, but what made it stand out was:

They creeped out other PI posters.

I can get really into my dogs and do/say really stupid poo poo about them but all I have to do is imagine any one of my friends seeing me doing it and I ease up. Usually people who get too crazy have either surrounded themselves in an echo chamber with other people who are insane about dogs, or have shut themselves off from the world at large. I swear it's possible to own dogs and be healthy about it.

Off-site we drove both of them off the loving deep end because we were discussing dog fighting and it was goddamned hilarious because they lost their minds.

Kind of like the time I made you lose your mind with pictures of clouds.

Pet Island is terrible (or has been) because most of us that just want to say "gently caress off you stupid rear end in a top hat" to really retarded people who are like "hurr my dog was hit by a car can I fix this with some pepto bismal lol" were not allowed to do anything like that for a really long time. We're spergy about animals, sure, but we're just real interested in animal sciences and husbandry and poo poo like that. A lot of us want to see it be a better forum and since we have a mod who isn't balls to the wall endlessly exhausted and unable to mod, it probably will be.

TCC's a lot weirder to me because goons die in it a Lot and that just seems to be like shoulder shrugging levels of okay while they talk about how much oxy they just took or whatever. I don't care about any of this poo poo anywhere near as many words as I'm typing, but I'm really loving hungry and my blood sugar is kind of low and I'm waiting on my pizza and :words: happen.

they still wanted a particular breed of dog, they just didn't buy into the bullshit of only getting pups from showroom champions with genetic testing and extended warranties and blahblahblah that crazy dog people use to rope suckers into spending over a grand on a house pet
try saying that in PI though
