    White America

    Can we not overgeneralize an entire race-based demographic when we’re trying to make fun of racists?

    Seems kind of, I dunno, racist?

    For fuck’s sake people.

    Edit: To be clear, this is on brand for Trump and his band of sycophants, magats, whatever you want to label them. Just don’t try to label an entire skin tone as belonging to his support group.







  • C’mon, a post like this is inviting these kind of insane replies. I’m not the one that started this cum war, but by god I will cum end it.

    Everyone lols at shit like “cum war” and then gets the icks when people start talking details? Way I see it, especially online, either sex shit is okay for discussion/jokes or it’s not. This “play horny” shit tends to just be masking for uncomfortableness. Get comfy with yourselves and your sexuality because you’ll be living with it for a long time, and no one lives long enough for it to be worth being weirded out or uncomfortable with your own wants.






  • Simple: you get banned from the specific instance where you’re violating the rule, like OP did.

    It sucks, but this is literally how it’s supposed to work. They can participate everywhere except where they are violating the rules.

    Realistically, all instances should probably be restricting access to 18+ so they don’t need to navigate the mess of US’s COPPA (I think that’s the name) laws regarding retention of minors’ data. I’m sure other jurisdictions have laws around that as wellm

    And a free tip from someone a decade and a half past the 18 line: Don’t let people know how old you are online if you’re underaged. It’s just asking for trouble. We all lied about it when we were in your shoes. The ones who didn’t had to deal with creeps.


  • Fair, but in that case if I get it wrong just let me know. It’s not malicious, just a mistake.

    I think the whole leading with your pronouns or having them clearly visible online thing is just a shortcut so it doesn’t take as much time to figure out if the person getting it wrong is making a mistake, or if they’re an asshole.

    But I’m also a white cis male, so take it with a big grain of salt. Last time I was misgendered was over the phone pre-puberty.


  • To put this as simply as possible: people are allowed to dislike things you find value in, for any or no reason. Whether you consider their reasoning valid or not doesn’t matter.

    They are allowed to think that it doesn’t have value. It doesn’t have to effect the value you find in it.

    I find artistic and comedic value in youtube poops. I’m not going to sit and argue that they are high art or something that needs or deserves to be respected by the wider world. I’m not going to be offended if others find them dumb, childish, or whatever else. I enjoy them and I respect the effort put into them. That’s enough.


    And about Skibidi Toilet in particular, it bugs me that we have something like 16 years of machinima, content created with Garrys Mod, and content created in the source engine, and what seems to be making the most money and public awareness (outside of RoosterTeeth) is something that started as meme of a song with a singing head emerging from a toilet. There’s so much other content made using the same tools (and that was made with less tools) that deserved more than what they got when compared to this.

    There’s an old speedrunning trick for this: If you don’t put new clothes on each day and instead keep re-wearing them, it stops growing.

    The game tries to prevent this with the stench debuff and the hit to your cleanliness stat, but you can counter that with routing to avoid enounters with other players. Then the debuff does nothing and the cleanliness stat only matters once it gets low enough to trigger damage to your HP.

    So it really only works for specific builds, but if done right it can save you a lot of time.

    What do you mean they added a large negative modifier to the mental health stat when using this strat? I guess this works better on earlier patches before personal hygiene became so important in the meta.
