The only thing I got from my TVT experience, apart from my gf, is that it is absolutely necessary for people to be called out for their terrible opinions.
Really?
I think she means stuff like the kind of crap people would spout in OTC...

I'm well aware of what she means I just really question the necessity of this conversation being had for the 37 billionth time in the past two years.
Also, Mojave, I know what you mean about wanting people to show more interest in you. I feel like a lot of times I end up being an "also-ran" in my circle of friends. I dunno, maybe that's not reflective of reality, but I do feel that way at times.
And of course, the irony is that when I am in the spotlight, I just freeze up and turn into Fluttershy.
Well, I think your interests are actually pretty interesting, I just don't know anything about them myself and thus find myself unable to comment.
I guess that's a problem more people have than I thought.

Yup otherwise those people will run riot over the good people.

Yeah clearly I needed to be told that my music was terrible or else I would just trample all of western society on my lonesome.
You want me to lend you five dollars, pal? You seem like you could use 'em.

This shtick is getting old.
Just sayin'.
Sorry, the whole TVT love in really bugs me
I see literally no one saying anything positive about say, Shichibuki.
I see literally no one saying anything positive about say, Shichibuki.
I did see people say literally good things about Shichibuki though.
Really? When?
Because I'm scanning the last page quite thoroughly and I see his name not once. Nor the names of any of the typical TVT punching bags that get talked about way, way more often than their stupidity merits.

It seems that any time the topic of TVT comes up in any capacity, you feel the need to remind us of your belief that the site is/was full of "terrible people" and/or "terrible opinions", though you almost never even go so far as to elaborate on what you mean by this. Frankly, it comes off to me as an attempt to say "look at me, I'm not one of the bad tropers!", which is unnecessary, because nobody said you are, and also it's annoying.
And frankly, when we've very clearly been discussing the good people on TVT, such as those mentioned by name earlier tonight, and you come in with "but TVT is full of terrible lol" it comes off as insulting those people. And if you insult my friends, I feel justified in telling you to shove it.
^^^ i don't remember anyone on SA equating those two. i do remember goons saying quite the opposite, that liking anime was fine but that racists were horrible people.
Unless you're referring specifically to pedoshit, at least.

Thats because I saw people on TVT openly call for genocide and for the "glassing of Africa". I saw people saying on TVT that it was okay for poor people to die because fuck taxes.
I saw retards on TVT saying that gay marriage was wrong because the telos of sex was reproduction.
So excuse me if I can't find any good in TVT land.
Did you miss the part where almost everybody in that thread disagreed vehemently with the 'glassing of Africa' opinion? It would admittedly be easy to do so, seeing as a lot of those people got thumped for some unfathomable reason.
Regardless, the opinions you're quoting were a minority, so 'I can't find any good in TVT land' seems a severe exaggeration.

Do you really think those are the people we're talking about?
I mean for gods' sake names were listed. Do you even know any of the people mentioned? You were a member there for like three fucking months.
hint: we're not. No one is praising the insightfulness of the 2011 OTC crowd here, and no one is saying the site had such perfect moderation.
What do you want here, a disclaimer at the end of every mention of the site that yes there were idiots there?

What the others said.
You seem to be of the opinion that expressing any feeling other than virulent hatred toward the site as the whole is somehow equivalent to defending the racist idiots or pedophiles on the site, which honestly doesn't make any sense to me.
Did you miss the part where almost everybody in that thread disagreed vehemently with the 'glassing of Africa' opinion? It would admittedly be easy to do so, seeing as a lot of those people got thumped for some unfathomable reason.
No, I saw the glassing of Africa opinion and then a bunch of thumped posts.

You're aware that we're not talking about that guy right?
Like you're not--there is no way in hell you're this dense. We are not saying "OH MAN I REALLY LIKED THE GUY WHO SAID WE SHOULD GLASS AFRICA. HE WAS SUCH A SMART DUDE AND I REALLY WISH I COULD'VE HAD MORE CONVERSATIONS WITH HIM" motherfucker we're talking about people whose usernames we actually remember. That we're referring to him as "the idiot who said we should glass Africa" should really testify to that in of itself.
God damn, grow up and stop trying to kiss up to the people on Something Awful. They don't care about your opinions on TVTropes. I know the idea that you have to actually be insightful instead of just mock-insightful to be respected there may come as a shock to you, but it's true.

...oh dear. i was afraid of that being the case.
i guess you missed the ensuing argument about that in Wiki Talk, as well?
The moderation made some pretty awful decisions, i realize that. i can't fathom why that guy wasn't banned.
For the record, though, those posts were thumped because they contained insults and 'fuck you's and posts of that kind. *i am not saying they should have been thumped*, if it were up to me they wouldn't have been, but that is how most OTCers responded to that kind of bullshit, with outrage, not agreement.

Better, but not for reasons that have anything to do with the system.
As little as we currently qualify for, if we were in the same position we are now back when Bush was in office we'd be far worse off.

that's why i'm kinda typing oddly

Also, very much this.
On the other hand, i feel like i usually get a lot more attention than i look for or deserve, so no complaints on that count.

Y'know, even on OTC, the kinds of opinions Ace is citing were in the minority, and tended to provoke strong reactions more often than not.
I'm aware of that.
But even if they weren't, it's irrelevant because it's not even that group of people we were talking about.

me sad now
The only person here who follows sports besides you is Lee.
Besides why do you care about the Superbowl?
Because I've followed American Football on and off since I was 5?i have seen other people post about sport, like sunn wolf.

About the cable, i mean, not the lamps.
Whatever.
