Sigh. S&M is a consensual sexual fetish, taking abuse from online people is not inherent in the social contract of forum posting, or at least it shouldn't be, and is definitely not something people enjoy or get off on. If you took a canvas of the people here and asked them what would they prefer, insults being hurled at them whenever they post pictures or normal, friendly and/or supportive messages, what result do you think you would get? Sorry to tell you, most people are not masochists :/

Oh and I definitely lack your "bro-ey" sense of humor. It's macho sh!t I was never interested in. Doesn't mean I don't have A sense of humor. It's just not based on abuse. :/

I should point out that this type of behavior is almost exclusively between men and other men, which perpetuates the atmosphere and culture of toxic masculinity, because "feelings" are for "whiny-ass pussies".

You don't want to see my point. Peace out and good work on being so mature. I think you see a lot of us as something we're not.

Adidasss, man, we all do it. We all insult each other all the time but we also all talk about various things every day. That's just how we are. I wouldn't change it.

Its consensual and when it isnt mods do a pretty good job of stepping in.

Notice that no one speaks to Lisna or spaceboy or you (if youre not okay with it) in that way.

Yah bro, I understand there might be a consensual agreement among the bullies to bully. I'm questioning the existence of consent among the targets of bullying to BE bullied...is MY point...

But thanks anyways! Peace out!

Why not? Because then this place would be too normal, supportive, relaxed, civil etc? Because you would potentially evolve beyond the closed cycle of stereotypical "boys will be boys" macho sh!it into normal, respectful human beings? Whachamightcall...mature adults even...? Eh...? Is that what it is?

Please stop bullying us and try to be a little more considerate. If this is how you treat people in real life then you need to shape up, kiddo!

Since when did being on an internet forum relate to real life? I come to this forum to escape from the difficulties of life, not to find it. Everybody here has always had a mutual understanding that if someone crosses the line, it's dealt with. Many times I've seen it dealt with very quickly. Most of the time we're just throwing friendly jabs at each other, and sometimes it's a bit more excessive but honestly, who cares? It's the internet.

I don't consider it a macho boys will be boys concept either. We all just hate everything.

It's ok to bully bullies! I just decided that.

Also, I thought you were leaving...

By "difficulties of life" I guess you mean "standards of decency"?

Ok guys, I've harped on the point long enough, have a good night Western hemisphere, it's lunch time in the Far East.
