i think that is what is commonly referred to as "hyperbole", a form of humor in which someone says something deliberately outrageous that is clearly not meant to be taken literally unless you are deliberately trying to cause problems, on purpose.

About 10 years ago I read a book called The Revolution Starts at Home that was all about this, namely, intimate partner violence within activist communities. It was super heartbreaking to read because victims often belonged to marginalized out-groups that already distrusted law enforcement, so in many cases reporting the abuser to authorities was not even an option. In many stories, the abuser was commonly a leader within their community, who often shared the same disadvantaged identity as their victims, and used this to perpetuate their abuse and silence would-be whistleblowers. It really changed my entire perspective on the nature of exploitation, at how careful and convincing abusers can be at saying all the right things outwardly to shield them from scrutiny.

You want to know what she said when the probations were brought to QCS?


That whole discussion is a baffling demonstration of a half dozen mods suddenly developing pattern blindness to posts saying "FYI this guy is an abusive creep who will spam animal abuse gifs at you if you are tricked into his discord!" and decided it was about queers being too rude and demanding when they just wanted to warn other posters about a predator in their thread without being punished for it.

My only guess is that nobody really read the original thread and was taking whatever spin Bobbie was putting on it in the mod forum at face value for ??? reasons

even then its incredible when people were like "he posts his discord link where he posts various images depicting felonies on the forums and sends us insane pms on the forums" and mods were like "can't be helped, its offsite drama"

A little mini-saga from CineD, where the lack of new movies being announced drove the "What's Been Greenlighted?" thread to descend from a discussion of David Cage's games into an argument over whether insults toward the French are racial slurs, resulting in the thread being locked.

Does anyone unironically use poo poo like frog and kraut anymore?

Also fwiw kids in Louisiana and Québec were getting beaten for speaking french at school within living memory but I don’t think the teachers called them “frog”

its a cultural insult rather than a linguistic one so i can see how it wouldnt really get much play for circumstances that arent directly related to being france french.

e: cultural? national?

the posters of cspam have revealed themselves to be exceedingly depressing and worse than useless esp now when the bulk of the work needs to get started. they're far too busy posting their elaborate family annihilation fantasies to bother to involve themselves in any community that isnt comprised entirely of people telling them everything is pointless and stupid and everyone is evil but them lol

I know exactly what you’re talking about but haven’t been able to find it yet. I read it on its own website, where the guy who was the center of the whole thing wrote about it after the fact. He posted pictures and everything.

It was pretty elaborate — I think it started with him “receiving a message from his future self”, then continued. At one point the guy got flown out somewhere, driven around in the woods, then flown back home. It took a couple years to unfold, starting sometime around 2004 I think. But the end was definitely, like, a whole short play, I remember that vividly.

edit: Found it about a minute after hitting post. I hope you see this!
