NUll's post in the roderick thread discussion

[SpessCaptain]

wait people care about the roderick thread? i thought it was decide it was a stupid thread and it was to be ignored

Because people want to be upstarting moralfags and say "OH THEY'RE NOT A LOLCOW."

well to be fair she isnt really a lolcow in a normal sense (or atlest she isn't in my option) but yeah alot of people lose the right to be a moralfag when they post on this form

What, people like ADF? That's because it's easy not to support them.

Diagnosed trannies are extremely quick to disown people like Chris, ADF, RWS, etc. They are what Tumblr calls "truscum", meaning they require a medical diagnosis before acknowledging someone as trans. People like the ones I've mentioned are either too poor or dysfunctional to go to the doc' for therapy, so they never get their papers. It's a great and easy way to separate people who shame the transgender community.

Trannies go "oh ADF isn't a legit trans, therefore it's OK to call him a he and disrespect him". Same with Chris. Trannies flipped out over Chris coming out as trans because they don't want to be in the same category as him, even though Chris is definitely someone who despises his male genitals and quite obviously wants to become a woman and has for some time. Even when he was in his late teens, he was playing with ancient My Little Pony toys and encouraging other men his age to do the same.

It's a matter of semantics. It's a prudish, cheap way of cutting a line between icky gross trannies like ADF and prim proper trannies like Jenner. I stand by what I say on those grounds.

Fair point, and one I hadn't considered. It would be interesting to see if that thread would have gone down differently if Cox was another obviously unstable, mentally ill tranny

Why did the celebrity rule not get applied in this case? Is that just something that's being ignored? What's to stop someone from doing something exceptional like starting an Obama lolcow thread tomorrow?

We had a Ronald Reagan thread some time ago(that was swiftly locked because there isn't much lolcow-ery).

 

[Bronchitis that Lingers]

I feel like people who get vehemently angry over things regarding gender/sexuality have had something in their past that's the opposite of their current views, most likely out of guilt. Like how some guys in the closet will fly off the handle at a gay joke, certain trans supporters who aren't trans will foam at the mouth over the rights of others because at some point in their life, they viewed trans people as "wrong". This was quite common ten years ago when gay acceptance started becoming a hot button, people who made gay jokes or said "fag" outside of the derogatory term suddenly felt bad, and had to put everyone else down around them who made these jokes to prove to themselves that they weren't awful people.

There was no reason why that thread needed to have 300 replies and people defending Cox, a celebrity, other than people wanted to prove that they weren't trans phobic.

It probably would've been locked or ignored had it not been made by Introman. He set me a PM a few days before making it asking for permission and I OK'd it out of apathy.

Can I make a thread for obama?

 

[Darwin Watterson]

I like the new "pronouns" section, which I can only assume has resulted from this thread. However, I'm wondering if it's possible to change the pronouns, and if so, where I could go to do that. I've noticed that some people have different pronouns than others, and I'm not sure if it's randomly set or if they changed them themselves. If the former, I'm deeply offended. Being a fish who evolved to grow legs, my pronouns are "fish/fish/fishself." This site is oppressing me by assuming that I am a white, human woman apparently. You all need to check your privilege! DOWN WITH THE CIS-TEM!!! (Inb4 someone takes this seriously: Obviously, I'm joking, but I do wonder about the mechanics of this new pronoun thing).

 

[Ruin]

Why prune the thread? Why not move it into the Tumblr subforum and let morons scream about pronouns all they want? It's a win win, idiots can have their social justice circle jerk and the rest of us can laugh at the caged monkeys without infecting the rest of the site with shit.

So if you usually delete that kind of thread, you really didn't have a baseline to know what would happen if a shit tier thread were allowed to survive and got popular against the odds. Surprise, it was a clusterfuck. Nobody could have ever seen this coming. Another surprise: a forum about autism is full of autism. Haven't you been around long enough to know that, especially considering yourself as the prime example?

Your post has no coherent point and comes off as a whine. I think you're trying to say "the forum (especially you !!) is autistic, so shitty threads are expected". If that's the case, you're dumb and I don't even know why you're here.

Introman made a thread about a person of interest to him, as many people have. Some easily offended users didn't like the thread, and since moderation was not bending to their whim, they decided to post nonsense and be disruptive. I've seen this on my own in a different community. I made a thread to complain about something and people jumped on me. I decided to ignore them, but they began to spam pictures of defective toys and shit they saw on reddit to try and stifle discussion by just loading the thread up with bullshit.

That's why I called it de facto moderation. It's an attempt to regulate the board by just diminishing the quality of the conversation to the point where it's not worth having.

There is no measuring stick applied to what stays in Lolcow threads. We play by ear. It's a mod decision. Introman is a mod and he said his topic was worth having so I took his word on it. That's the entirety of our process to approving threads.

Stop shitposting my thread.

In other news,

Null is a cow.

i am a fly over cow moooooooooooo

 

[niggers]

I will burn it out of the forum before I let it control every discussion.

write this out on a post-it note and slap it above your monitor.

i would be legit crestfallen if this place turned into something awful. don't let that happen null baby.

My point is that the thread really should have been deleted when it got to 8 pages and 90% of the posts were just saying "This thread is boring and should be deleted." Not because they were asking for deletion (obvoiusly if there's lulz to be had then keep it alive by all means), but because that in itself makes it a shitty thread. My point about there being a lot of autism here is that when there's nothing of interest in a thread, on a site like this it can only die or get autistic.

If that's the case, you're dumb and I don't even know why you're here.

For all the dank memes of course. I can't even tell if the rest of your post is directed at me or what, so I'm just gonna end it here.

Introman is staff and thereby indirectly represents "official" site opinion in his words and actions.

People may be upset because his OP comes across as staff and site position/opinion. That's what I draw from this, anyway.

But why does that matter? He represents the staff of a website dedicated to watching a retarded manchild collapse in on himself like a dying sun. This website isn't some big huge hub of all kinds of people, it's a very niche market that only assholes enjoy. People shouldn't go to an asshole website and then get picky about what everyone is allowed to be assholes about.

That's kind of his point. People were deliberately making the thread shitty because they wanted it deleted. When some asshole kid keeps shitting in the sandbox because he doesn't like making sandcastles, do you ban everyone from using the sandbox or do you just send that asshole kid to a special school for retards?

You have a point, but what happened here is that all the normal kids left the sandbox when that asshole kid started shitting in it, and all the other tards came over and joined in until there was nothing but shit in the sandbox. And at that point, yes, you should probably ban all the kids from using it, if only to prevent them from getting covered in shit.

We might be pushing this sandbox analogy a bit far. At this rate, we'll have a good source of fertiliser to grow our own cows. Sustainability!
