apropos to nothing posted:

gonna repeat something I've said a bunch in other places since all this poo poo started. if you wanna stop bigotry and/or get organized to destroy capitalism, please go outside and do it with real people and not over twitter or even stupider something awful. feels like there were a lot of people who are eating crow now who got roped into this poo poo cause they read hot takes about how 4chan and fyad are the REAL reason that trump was elected so obviously it is our duty to humanity to destroy the pink forum to stop the fascist hordes. when you have that kind of self righteousness it becomes really easy to justify doing really lovely things on very spurious grounds, which is what happened.

go get organized and involved with people in the real world if you want to change things and let the comedy forum run by a domestic abuser with a $10 paywall be a comedy forum where people can tell jokes and not be serious all the time. trying to be an online forums/twitter activist is the quickest way to either becoming a grifter or being duped and used by one. its also a really good way to alienate people who might actually agree with you but who also like to have a place where they can be irreverent and laugh about things on the internet.

yeah like, im more down for the power of the internet to communicate ideas and facilitate change than maybe you are, and i love having a place on the internet i can just yell how much i hate or love politics all day so im already very tragically cursed with fail, but id tell anyone that if you think the poo poo you do exclusively online is important political advocacy, whether it be charging into dark online cartoon closets and getting into fights with forum nazis in there until someone flicks on a light and sees you've been swinging at a bucket stuck comically on a mop, or if you're changing your twitter handle to a snake rose donut emote and yelling at Disney for gay erasure, you need to stop and readjust your priorities.

also apropos it was bullshit how cspam treated you, you're a very good poster

People admitting they were wrong on the internet is so amazingly rare that it seems worth not discouraging

If true, this alt angle gets even more lol. Turt, after being banned, had an alt going around where he referred to himself in the third person arguing about the ban. However, there was also another account who said they were his gf that posted in cspam iirc. So tashilicious wasn't willing to use her main account to say turt was her SO lmfao

I hosed up, they were not in a relationship, it was a diff poster and the licious suffix thing was a coincidence.

My suspicion at this point is that she believed her intentions were good, and that anything she did was justified by those good intentions.

Very few people see themselves as the villains in their own stories.

I used to think that too, but read even just the first few pages of the fyad thread about her starting the goon charity and her saying “yeah I probably will install steam on my new laptop but it won’t primarily be for video games” and it’s really clear she knew what she was doing from the start of it

the cyrano thread was mostly funny, but the guy seriously sucks rear end and should not be allowed to have a position of power. with that said -- the cyrano thread is definitely a saga, and should be in the goldmine, archived for future generations. i wonder if someone on the admin team is blocking it from getting goldmined despite everyone thinking its hilarious ..? :D

Imagine being so bad at sex that your reaction to it is "the gently caress is this?"*
