It was a conversation being held in the Funny Quotes thread yesterday, which starts here, and ends with the link to PCOS Bill getting permabanned for saying Kat Dennings' breasts were too big rather than, you know, any of the other things he should have been permabanned for over the years (I accept my share of blame in this).

The worst part about that whole thing was that the E/N mods treated it like it was no big deal, refused to do anything about it, and it took someone going to lowtax to get him banned.

The decision to portray them in that way wasn't arbitrary. All humans are primates, and thanks to the similar skin tone shared by Congo natives and gorillas, they did look more or less likes apes to English explorers. Likewise, primates that live in colder climates have pale skin that might've been likened to that of ancient caucasians in early Europe had things turned out only slightly different.

I for one think it's about time we got over the stigma attached to our proud simian heritage. Some of us may look like jungle apes. Some of us may look like snow apes. The fact remains that we're all still members of the great ape family, and that's nothing to be ashamed of.

so this guy wants to gently caress monkeys or what

Xarbala posted:

Because if you try to get rid of them something in radium's code will critically gently caress up and take down the forums again.

I feel like this has happened more than once.

Just use the console window to get rid of them then, it's worth it for the characters and story.

BotL was perma'd for harassing people, specifically one that struggled with mental issues.

Weird that you seem invested in people not calling out posters so soon after the end of your probation for saying that calling you out as Guy Mann by quoting your avatar is tantamount to deadnaming.

Whose else would they be?

...just for the record, since i got caught in the act of gossip, i had nothing to do with the weird banner ad about lowtax's marriage, nor had i discussed this matter with anybody else before drunkenly broaching it itt last night

Free that guy so he can keep posting and getting probated

I will admit it's gotten better ever since Say Nothing got banned because all he would do is repost screenshots from reddit that were "drat look at this foreign-rear end name"

Alaois posted:

they've been banned for nearly 2 years, and checking their rap sheet now it wasn't because someone found out they were an I. rereg, it was just because they'd been probated repeatedly for inline unmarked NSFW images as well as just creepy fan art or cosplay of underage characters

y'know, exactly like what I. got banned for.

Besides the concept of Let's Plays has SA developed/refined anything else that immediately exploded in popularity once it moved offsite? Other than weird Twitter personalities, that is.

pentyne posted:

Also not for nothing but the classic mistake of applying 21st century standards to 16th century is a meaningless discussion, society in general was so fundamentally different it cant be compared like that.

Its like reading Heart of Darkness and going "gently caress this book Conrad comes off as a bit racist" when for something written in 1902 its a shockingly progressive take on race given the societal standards at the time. (I think, its been quite a while since I read it)

Otoh applying those same 21st century standards to something made a few months ago is a completely valid point and not at all out of place.

TGRS probably still has more active users than end-stage FYAD did.

I think Eggplant Wizard more got laughed off the forums for the hypocrisy of locking porn related threads while having written reams of rape incest werewolf porn.

FilthyImp posted:

Wait what the gently caress?

SunAndSpring posted:

It was very bizarre since I think the thing that caused people to start calling the mod "uppity" was something about the FYAD offsite and someone demanding something be done about it,

ToxicFrog posted:

I'm pretty sure the "you can't discuss systemic transphobia on SA in here" pronouncement was in the old trans thread, so it's gone forever, sorry. You can however see Fluff arguing that systemic discrimination is impossible on SA over in QCS, which is kind of a continuation of that argument. (It also seems like it's flatly absurd since most mods, including IIRC Fluff, are quite open about how they consult with the mods of other subforums when making moderating decisions, and there's a huge overlap in users between subforums.)

E: that said this is getting kind of QCS-y so we should probably take it to PMs or something if this discussion continues

Nuns with Guns posted:

But you're right this is getting all QCS-y now and it's worth dropping it.
