I mostly go on there to read about politics, that would probably be warping my brain wherever I did it.

it was just an internet forum, what could the harm be

but now look at us

Ok yeah that got pretty out of hand

I let my anger completely take over and the part of my brain that actually thinks about what I'm saying just shut down completely 😫

AU managed to pull me out of it, thankfully

People can run their places how they want.
Other people just seem to accept this, which is weird to me.

Why aren't people like "the government should mandate that all businesses are run in the way I approve, no compromises"?

Central Avenue said:
I don't know, saying "our ruler should be someone I always agree with" basically amounts to saying "I should be our absolute ruler so I can approve of the way things are done"

But few people actually ever say that, which is weird because I figured it'd be more common

I mean, nobody actually agrees with everything about the way our society is run, so why don't they say "ugh, I could do better"?

Well, yes, considering I know multiple people who had SA accounts before the split, or even joining. It was hardly like some homogenized transition.

i know.

i guess to be less hyperbolic it seems like some of the more toxic parts of SA culture have kinda seeped into this site over time

Haven · 2015-11-03 02:04:48

naney said:

oh.

Well, then my serious answer would be to point out that SA is actually a huge forum, most parts of which are actually rather tightly moderated, and it doesn't make a lot of sense to get all Fast Eddie about it. (Also against your hypothesis, to my knowledge none of the people who were bad enough we actually had to ban them had SA accounts.)

To be fair, some of the more problematic (I don't like using this term, but can't think of anything better) aspects of this site were also influenced by Tumblr.

The hyperbole is really tiresome when trying to approach this stuff even half-heartedly, at least after many long days.

That much said I still disagree, given the parallels I've seen on here that sprouted from TVT (e.g. mock threads, which the Tumblr thread effectively has been at various points, or various other examples I'm forgetting).

@Vash: Yes, that's what I'm saying. I'm thinking e.g. Calica compared to Central, or Central to me. Perhaps not not a coincidence, but a fair amount which could be chalked up to TVT or both of them.
