If the people writing for the front page have decided that writing the most obtuse, unfunny, pseudopolitical poo poo on earth will attract readers and potential members, telling them how much of a bad idea that is isn't 'insulting' them.

An astute observer may even note that nobody makes fun of the things that, say, Corin Tucker's Stalker or Livestock post on the front page. An extremely astute observer who wants to be the change in the forums could even try to extrapolate why that might be, if they were so inclined.

Well, the rule doesn't apply to only the writers whom you think are good or funny, I'm afraid. The forum rules as well as the front page writer selections are up to Lowtax, so if you think either should be changed, please email him, webmaster@somethingawful.com instead of insulting the writing staff.

Judge Clayjar posted:yeah rooders constantly getting lowtax to restate the harassment rules on his behalf Nah, he just whines and spouts gibberish from a teenager's half-assed theory of comedy. I guess it's kinda funny, in a "kid with the helmet can't open his juice box" way. But back to the topic of movie reviews: Isn't caring about stuff the worst, you guys? And having thoughts and opinions? And like, expressing them? As if it's a reviewer's job to tell people what they thought of the movie they saw, amirite?

It's weird, no one's calling for his 'job' or anything, no one's demanding he never write again, people just disagree with a thing he said and for some reason it's being treated like this thread mailed poop to his house with a note reading "YOU" stapled to it or something.

Yeah, how could anyone reading the last 50 posts of this thread think that there was anything more than a simple expression of disagreement? It's weird, I sincerely don't get why anyone would think otherwise.

To assist SA Front Page Discussion posters follow the rules, the rules state, in part: "Please do not harass or intentionally annoy the mods or insult the front page writers." As with the interpretation of any law or rule, we must assume the author meant what they said and said what they meant. You may not insult the front page writers, nor may you harass or intentionally annoy the mods. The contrapositive behavior must then be legal. Good luck and post safe!

Senior Woodchuck posted:Nah, he just whines and spouts gibberish from a teenager's half-assed theory of comedy. I guess it's kinda funny, in a "kid with the helmet can't open his juice box" way. The essence of the criticism of the criticism that has been ongoing, at least on my part, is that it is bad. It is not good. It is really not very informative. It is not that it is bad to "care". If you actually legitimately care about film, there is a good chance you do not post about it on this web site, because if you look at the movie forum (or the book forum, etc) you see that largely there's an incredible fixation on really childish products (and they are usually products rather than films) with a corresponding lack of taste. I'm sure it's an idea that's unfamiliar to you, as a grown man who wants to surgically replace his dick and balls with a coin operated motorised Donald Duck ride who is about 3 wispy chin hairs away from being a convicted rapist, but when criticism is coming from a really juvenile place about a less-juvenile subject it can seem very superficial and difficult to respect. Like when they allow kids to do news reports on the actual news. This is one side of the coin here. Some of the reviewers present as, essentially, children of varying extreme largeness. But even if you read what they have to say about children's movies, it's still incredibly basic analysis of a film seen through a lens of a culture who are obsessed with identity politics in all things. For example, if you read this week's review of The Boxtrolls, all you will learn is: - The reviewer liked Coraline and Paranorman, but this film has a worse story - There are trolls who wear boxes, also there are two characters who have names - The film is nominally about the trolls who wear boxes, however it focuses on one of them who isn't REALLY a troll, but is actually a boy. This is a "big problem". - The villain is avaristic and ugly. He pretends to be a woman, this is also a big problem, but we're not told why. Just that tumblr dislikes that and they're right to do so. - The animation is good, kids will like it. The only thing gleaned from this review that you won't get from the trailer is a number score and at some point a man wears a dress. It's an 800 word sideways glance at a movie and it really does not do a good job reviewing it outside of conveying the general sentiment that it's sort of not bad. I don't respect this, and I don't much care what this person has to say about other movies especially if they're more complicated than this movie for 6-year-olds. On top of which the reviews are completely joyless, on a comedy web site. It's not just that it's really out of place, it's poorly executed in its own right. I'm not trying to illegally troll or insult them so please do not electronically beat me up, but I don't think they're cut out for this. Thank you for reading this wearying post. As a reward, here is a picture of the cast of Duck Tales taking public transport so you can finally blast the biggest load of your life you mewling piece of poo poo idiot
