I am rather flabbergasted that, when the owner of 8chan was told that he's website was being kicked off patreon because it was used for hosting childporn, he changed his patreon to "support me making cat videos!" (whilst clearly stating that the excess money would still go to "other charities") instead of... doing anything about the child porn 0_o.

Apparently it's borderline (how the hell they define it is up to law enforcement) material, then again, Canada has much more different laws on the books than us. But here, I rest my case to the Anti-GamerGate crowd being Social Justice Retards. This is the reason I stay the hell away from both camps. One group is quantifiable idiots, honest and actually to the point, the other is made of retards who believe Social Justice condones vigilante-style lynchings. AGG is pretty much like those crazy vigilantes who use Sex Offender lists to shoot sex offenders, but lo and behold, most of the time we discover "offenders" as dumb former teens who decided to bone someone in their age bracket and got hung up because of a stupid law system.

Chans will host almost anything unless it is deliberately illegal or violates the ToS. Keep in mind as well that Chans operate on human mods - sometimes stuff slips through the cracks, other times the Mods overlook it. It's usually the board populace that gets this sort of material flagged and removed. It's not the first time **** like this has happened to 4 and 8chan, and Howwheels had to shutdown several boards over similar incidents.

I stay the hell away from the Chans for obvious legality reasons, but this time? Eh. Idiots them all. But I hope Dan Olson gets the books thrown at him to remind everyone just because it's potentially illegal, you should report it ASAP to the proper authorities instead of posting blurred stuff to a blog. Stupid people get themselves thrown into jail for exactly doing this.

Please keep it civil.  We allow a fairly wide latitude on rants in this thread, but watch the language.

Agreed. I think I'll refrain from mentioning it anymore because it does make my blood boil at the sheer stupidity of it all. I think GamerGate has proven one thing: idiots abound.

But on brighter news, cha-ching, I've got my Bachelor's Degree confirmation. Now time to build a resume/portfolio and find a way out of Dodge.

Plus... family is going probably expel me after my post-graduation show. I've altered the second half of my show to talk about Jewish Banker conspiracies and the Israeli Defense Forces. For every time I hear the Rothschilds, another Merkava IV four is added to a growing list of referential material. For every comment about Banks, an Israeli F-16 is thrown into the pile.

[An4ximandros]

I hate saying this kind of thing but, you need to get the hell out of there already. That does not sound like a mentally well place to live in.

That language was... not civil?

I thought it was pretty tame in terms of what could have been used to describe things

[Scotty]

"Social justice retard" crosses that particular line, fyi.  "Better than it could have been" isn't an excuse for crossing the line.

[deathfun]

So it'd of been better to say...

"Better than it could have been" isn't an excuse for crossing the line.

If you crossed the line, that generally implies the words you used were crossing the line worthy

Majority of what I saw in that post involved "idiot" and low level variations thereof
Essentially my point here is just what is the line, how is it defined and in what contexts are there exceptions or more harsh outcomes

[Grizzly]

Comparing people who speak out against child porn to people who are in such a mental state that they are not able to function normally in society is crossing a line. I'm surprised this is even up to discussion.

[Luis Dias]

Idiot and retarded are both ableist insults.

Now, the correct insult that has been shown to be able to skip the landmines of accusations of anything resembling ableism, homophobia, mysoginy, and all the other sins that are du jour, is the one that was designed by socially correct people with correct academic practices. I'm talking of course of the word ****lord, although I am personally skeptical. It might be correctly escatological for an insult, but, after all, it is also slightly descriminatory against people who are having hemorrhoids. And who has more of them? Yes, african children, who die with diarrheia and dehydration. Also, it can be construed as a bad anagram on Star Wars lore, and that's an obvious capital crime.

Alternatively, you can just call them "white cis male virgin neckbeards". There's no more vile people than these fellows on earth, and even them get really pissed when you just simply describe them in those precise words. So, if that works against such vile creatures on Earth, it's really established as a correct insult.

[Scotty]

@deathfun:  I'm not going to define that, because if I do people will dance on justt the correct side of the line to avoid punishment.

@Luis: that sort of response is why you get warnings for sarcasm.  Knock it off.

[Luis Dias]

****ing hell, I can't be funny now? I can't joke about the current internet ideological etiquettes? I can't ridicule the ridiculous?

This place is getting worse and worse all the ****ing time.

e: here's a funny to get your humour risen a bit:

[Scotty]

Luis, this is not 4chan.  Humor is not in a vacuum, you must consider your audience.  Being a colossal asshole passes for humor there.  It does not here.

[Luis Dias]

Scotty:

1. I am not an asshole, I politely request you take that insult back;
2. I am not colossal, I politely request you take that compliment back;
3. I am not a 4chan participant, my jokes were absolutely kosher (that last one is from youtube FYI). If anything, they are at the expense of radical extremists' talking points, which are to be ridiculed as much as anti-vaxxers or other wacky fundamentalists, nothing more;
4. Because I don't think I have done anything wrong, like for instance insulting other members clearly is, I politely request you take that warning back.

Thank you for your time.

[Scotty]

Luis, when someone with the authority and responsibility to moderate behavior asks you, at the behest of multiple users, to alter your behavior, do so.  Have the maturity and strength of character to accept the criticismand act accordingly.  You have not, and continuing to argue will not convince me.  The warning stands (and is dangerously close to increasing in severity).

[Lorric]

Well I for one found the joke funny. And I don't think this place is a hive mind where we'll all have the same taste.

I do not know on what video the joke was posted, but it has a lot of thumbs up, so plenty of other people like it too.

I found it. Oh, you have to watch it to hear it read out loud, it's hilarious!

Here's another from the comments section:

I go on a date with a girl. Take her out to a nice restaurant, she orders a shrimp cocktail and a few drinks.

I ask for the check. The waiter places the check in front of me - not in front of her, not in the middle - in front of me. A look of horror comes across the girl's face.

I reach for the check and put my credit card inside. She begins to tremble. Tears well up in her eyes.

I can tell she is paralyzed by the fear of the oppression she is facing. I chauvinistically place my check with the credit card back on the table, daring her to do something about it. The power of oppressing this woman surges through me, as I lean back in my chair and stare directly at her. She is shaking with fear, the oppression choking her voice.

The waiter returns to take away the check. All is lost to her now. Men at other tables stand up and begin to clap. Women all over the restaurant shriek and cry. I feel my erect cock raising the tablecloth up.

I ask my date, "Did you enjoy your meal?"
"Y-yes...thank you.", she says behind a mask of tears.

I lean back, a devious, patriarchal, patriarchal smile spreading across my face. And I tell her,

"It was my privilege."

 

And if anyone doesn't get this, this is satire people.

In the description of the video, they think it originated on 4chan. Well, I say so what if it originated on 4chan. It's still funny. It doesn't matter where it came from.

I read out the second one in the style of the video. It's fun. Try it.

[AtomicClucker]

Edit: Putting my foot in my mouth.

[Scotty]

I won't, for the similar reason that I don't find rape jokes funny ever, under any circumstance.  Put quite simply, humor in which the vehicle of the joke is impotent, terrified helplessness is in the worst taste.

But that's not why I warned Luis.  I warned Luis because his method of abrasive, mocking sarcasm and satire has reached the point of being inflammatory on its own, regardless of his sincerity.

Related: Though you've gotten more subtle about it, stop trying to be a mod.  Again.

Before the post edit: Goddamn it.  AtomicClucker, that gets you a warning to for not letting the damn thing go.  You're characterizing more than a few people on these boards with such broad strokes, and even if you've stopped using that spcific word I called out first it's still not acceptable.

[Grizzly]

The power of oppressing this woman surges through me,

Jesus christ lorric. Thats not satire, thats a one-on-one reminder of a rapists thought process.
How can anyone find fun in that? I thought you said you learned from the rape and why its not a good topic thread.

[Lorric]

Scotty, stop twisting. I shouldn't be surprised though when actually using the report function gets twisted into trying to be a mod. If you're not twisting and you actually believe that, you're seeing what you want to see. You think I'm doing something, so you're seeing it where I'm not.

@ -Joshua-

I just see satire on feminists blowing things out of proportion. I didn't think of rape at all.

[Scotty]

I'm not talking about your report, I'm talking about your reply trying to smooth things over and make what I've clearly described as unacceptable into something acceptable because "other people like it too".  That one is pretty clear cut.
