Well, the truth is that Frownland is a LIZARDMAN.

No quid pro quo, just a suggestion from someone who has been here for a long time.

My 2 cents.

Seconded. A bit of a troll. Nout wrong with that, just not mod material methinks. Mods are supposed to quell arguments, not flame the fires. :/

You should counter with how straight people are over-populating the planet.

I don't disagree. But if this is because of something I posted, please allow me to explain.

Re: my burger post, that is the first time I've ever posted that word on here when it wasn't in reference to the pork dish. Also I was quoting/impersonating one of our homophobic posters. I purposely left that word filtered while filtering the swear words though, to imply that I do not agree with it.

Hope this explains my post.

Cheers.

DwnWthVwls 08-25-2018 01:39 PM

Yes, because adding stars to the word gives you a pass. You're like white people who say "the n word".

Silly Fluffer.

It's not like that at all. Please let's not turn this into another race discussion.

I'm not. I understand you were saying it to mock another member but leaving stars in it as some sort of protest doesn't make up for the fact that you still said it. It's not suddenly less offensive to anyone offended by the word and you saying you also dislike it doesn't make it less offensive to them either. Sorry homie, that's just keeping it real.

Me

I never said any of that stuff. I said it's not like a white person dropping the N bomb.

DwnWthVwls 08-25-2018 02:01 PM

I said saying "the n word" not saying "nigga".

DwnWthVwls 08-25-2018 02:04 PM

Yes it is.. Youre censoring yourself in protest while still saying the word.

White people justification, jaja.

I didn't say the word.

How come you keep using white people in your example?

DwnWthVwls 08-25-2018 02:10 PM

Idc if you said it or not. Im talking about the usage of stars in words on forums and what they mean. I'm not attacking you or your beliefs.


simplephysics 08-25-2018 02:14 PM

This place use to be run with an iron fist. Most of the older users who took themselves way too seriously have jumped ship.

The discussions were more substantial but not as entertaining.

So what's the irl equivalent of f*ck?

I don't care. It's not the example you gave.

DwnWthVwls 08-25-2018 02:35 PM

It's the point I was making. Since youre being a grump...

What's the irl equivalent of n*gga or f*ggot?

Bottom line is using asterisks or saying things like "the n word" does not diminish the connotation of the word itself. It's somewhat insulting and dishonest tbh.

Touche.. I forgot people say that stupid phrase.

Cuthbert 08-25-2018 03:09 PM

I was half taking the piss with my first post.

Cannot believe this has become a discussion.

DwnWthVwls 08-25-2018 03:18 PM

I'm just curious. It's an interesting discussion to me. If it's annoying you we can drop it.

Took me a while to understand what you were referring to, my comment was actually in reference to the exchanges in this thread (all the mods are gay, gay sex jokes etc).

But while on the subject, who is this homophobic poster you're referring to?

He's not actually fanning the flames, it's more like a controlled burn. The same way they fight fire with fire. They clear out dead wood with fire as to prevent an enviable forest fire from getting way out of control if it does happen, or burn down a path so that the real raging fire can't spread. I think Frownland is keen on this tactic and executes it well.
