I keep seeing ads for a new tv miniseries about her, no idea if it’s any good.

Also her son was the guy behind conservapedia.

It's just like that Megyn Kelly thing where the lead is Apolitical while Acting so they end up trying to make the shithead they're playing look shades-of-grey and understandable.

In particular, Mrs America is painfully white and tries to act like she only courted racists because of strategy, not that she was racist. It also ignores any facet of "She's working 'against her own interests' because she's trying to keep the privilege she has as a WHITE woman."

It’s not a decorum rule. It’s a “life is globally lovely right now and maybe my own forum can not make me blow a blood vessel and just be a cute cat pictures forum so I can escape a bit and you can too?” rule from LaB which is pretty reasonable IMO

Idiots on Social Media are SUPER political though. If that's gonna be a rule, maybe there's another forum for this thread?

The Idiots on Social Media thread has been around for longer than C-SPAM has. It is perfectly capable of existing without other subforums' memes nesting inside of it. If you don't like it, go.

I have never once been to C-SPAM. I've just seen those memes very commonly as replies to most political IOSM I find in Twitter and Facebook and Discord and many non-C-SPAM places. I guess I'm unclear on what's being banned here, sorry.

There's plenty of dumb poo poo to laugh at on the internet that isn't just c-spam style misery posting. It's really not difficult to find.



am I going to have to go read C-SPAM to figure out what "C-SPAM style" is? All I know about it is that politics go there. "Guillotine" is one of the most common replies to any guillotine-worthy political thing in the non-SA world, it's not much to go by unless you mean the exact memes "Kill all boomers" and "guillotine landlords."

LITERALLY A BIRD posted:

I feel like right now there is so much tension and anger in absolutely everyone, online and off, and for extremely good reasons. We are frightened, threatened, disenfranchised and in danger, some of us more so than others, and it all links back to politics. They're inescapable. Everywhere you turn is bad news and people justifiably angry at it. It's as you say, Midnight: that particular kind of posting is everywhere. Twitter, Facebook, SA.

In the past this thread has been a good source of information and viewpoints; while goons mocked the content they would also provide valuable context and insight. That still happens, but the ratio of helpful posts to ones of performative frustrations has sharply declined. IoSM is a good, compact goon-compiled resource, but I feel like it drifted. I would like to see a reduction of white noise posturing; there are plenty of other threads for that.

Okay, this is more specific, thank you.

But part of the reason I am confused is that the IOSM is the depressing bit of what you're describing, not someone just expressing disgust at it. I don't know how you'd expect to make this place any cheerier without just saying "Hey, no political IOSM," and that'll cut off most of the IOSM in general. Politics is generally what I expect here because that's the dumbest stuff on social media by and large.

It is not too difficult to understand, perhaps just read the rule?

"Looking at funny pictures and reading silly stories isn't the only way people manage their stress, though. In subforums like C-SPAM and D&D, sometimes it's posting things like kill all boomers and guillotine landlords and you know what? If that's those forums' cultures, then that's all right. I don't like landlords either.

But that's not the culture here.

If we wanted to be in C-SPAM, we would be in C-SPAM. If people are in PYF, they are not here for performative posting; they are here for those pictures and stories and for terrible, terrible wordplay. Sometimes, reading the performative posting that's standard in other subforums is just another source of stress: an inescapable reminder of how bad things are getting out there, even when you're trying very hard to escape at that exact moment. I think it would be better if we had less of it here, and I think it's time I try to make it so."

Seems easy enough to understand that you can still post all sorts of fun and exciting content, some of it political even.

If the basic of your gimmick rests on you cawing "Kill all the people I don't like" you can easily find a gimmick that is a little less poo poo, or hop on over to CSPAM.

okay, yes, I read that, but it actually made it more confusing to me. Again: the depressing part isn't anything being described as banned. Nothing involving politics is ever fun and exciting in TYOOL 2020, especially if we're looking at idiots in particular. It is depressing. If you're trying to make this place cheery and non-stressful, you are going to have to ban politics. None of the things that are listed as "what we are here for" can, by their nature, contain politics.

That's why I assumed at first we were just banning politics. If we're only posting escapism, that's not politics -ever-. We were talking about AIDS like a page back, that's sure as hell not escapism.

I have no gimmick. I am not T-man. I just don't know political IOSM can exist if the aim is escapism/forgetting how bad things are getting out there.

It is very, very, very important that I be able to post the poo poo you asked me not to post in this thread right here in this very thread instead of one of the thousand other threads that exist exactly for that kind of content.

You’re going to drive the bird into retirement by sitting screaming in the middle of a room filled with toys because she took away your dirty old pink binky, and you’re going to get stuck with someone like that absolute garbage crab mod.

The previous two posts back to back seem to disagree on what "the poo poo you asked me not to post" is. I would like to know what the poo poo is that I am not supposed to post so I can not post it. (seriously, all my personal IOSM contributions have been my aunt being awful and political, I would like to know if this continues to be fair game even though it was poo poo like her politicizing a miscarriage of her own family)

Maybe cut out all the stuff that doesn't make sense in context about wanting to forget the world's ills if we mean what Chitoryu says, explicitly cut out politics if it's what Inceltown says.
