RPGnetizens are inventing forms of racism that members of Stormfront wouldn't come up with, then projecting them on other people.

It's the natural result of "Listen and Believe" becoming policy. Any assertion of --ism or --phobia is considered to be true, no matter how absurd it may be. The standard is effectively, "this offends me, therefore it is offensive in general". Since questioning this assertion is against the rules, there's no permissible rebuttal. Add in the social incentive to find and denounce offensive things, and you wind up having everything being --ist or --phobic. If you can't find those sins, you're not looking hard enough.

In other words, everything woke turns to shit.

You're right, considering how one of them admitted that they need a lot of time to draft out an infraction message.

Uh oh, mod criticism. Ban in three... two... one...


EDIT: Also, in regards to policing for hurt feelings, this post.

Threadbanned for fat shaming one of writers of Z Nation.

 

[Kongo-Müller]

Healthy at every size, guys! An old overweight fuck like GRRM is clearly in the same good shape as an Olympic marathon winner as long as he has the right attitude and good feelings.

 

[Hugbox Kommissar]

They don't want to alienate their remaining userbase, most of whom haven't seen middle age or their dick* in years.

Someone should sacrifice a burner account and post the CDC's findings on a healthy weight contributing to lower chances of serious covid symptoms. They trust the science, right?


*expanding waistline or GRS? Take your pick

Tried, a few months ago; it got banned probably because I used Yandex.

Well, they're now discussing this backstage "to set clearer guidelines".

Just like that one time they were discussing whether the use of a specific colour of red was allowed for non-moderators. OP is probably still waiting for an answer this very day...

Just by the way they type, it's obvious that places like this desperately need to get raided by people spamming "Nigger," 41%, and George Floyd memes at them. Nothing high effort. They don't deserve that.

Eh, they'll just delete them all and retreat further into their hugbox, feeling justified that there's alt-right Nazis out to murder them. Give them an external threat and they'll stop eating their own.

The best trolling these places get is from people who Poe's Law the forums, because they can never be quite sure whether someone's just taking the presumed shared beliefs of the forums just to their next logical step, or if it's someone fucking with them. Riles up the paranoia and struggle sessions something fierce. Of course, that does take more effort than spamming memes, but less than you think. You could even treat it like those chess games where it looks like you're playing two people, but you're actually just copying your opponents moves to have them play each other; grab a few posts from ResetEra and post them verbatim on RPGNet and vice versa and you've got your crazy SJW material all ready to go.

 

[TerminalTryHard]

I always wonder the ratio of sincere users to trolls is on site like resetera and rpgnet. On era on the only way I've noticed to tell the trolls from the honest users is that the trolls say the quiet part out loud while the honest users dance around it.

This. I also have some suggestions...

https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/26184/pg26184.html

(a) Give lengthy and incomprehensible explanations when questioned.

(b) Report imaginary spies or danger to the Gestapo or police.

(c) Act stupid.

(d) Be as irritable and quarrelsome as possible without getting yourself into trouble.

(e) Misunderstand all sorts of regulations concerning such matters as rationing, transportation, traffic regulations.

(f) Complain against ersatz materials.

Lol, I love how this keeps happening to them, over and over with that thread. I don't understand what's their big hang-up on a bit of discussion spurred by the images. We have quite a few threads like that where the focus is images/videos, but no one minds a little banter. If it gets annoying, you get bombed with neg-ratings and you stop. Simple and (usually) effective.

But of course they would never dream of having something like that at RPGnet. "Something something micro-aggression, muh-feels".

Disagreement is not tolerated on RPGNet, because the only reason anyone would ever disagree with the Welcoming and Accepting hivemind is because they're secretly Hitler.

Nah, everything woke turns to organized religion.
We swear we're more advanced than those dumb bible-thumping hicks, srsly.

Actual religions (even heathen fake ones invented by Satan) are better, they have written rules and ways that you can seek redemption and forgiveness. The Woke cult has no exit clause to their internally directed persecution. It's all the worst parts of cult ideology with none of the upsides except flavored sports drink.

You didn't had much experience with "deeply religious" laypeople or priests, did you? They quote whatever scripture supports their argument at the moment, ignore the inconvenient ones, and call you names for trying to be honest with their own ideology. Just like the wokes, it's all about power and people who have no shame or self-reflection and want to boss you around while feeling self-righteous and justified about it.
