No it doesn't. There's no equation between criticism of bad behavior which is based on standard rules of a civilized society which I feel should also apply to online forums, regardless of the fact that we don't look at each other in the eye when we write, and being annoyed by it because it's inconvenient and easier and more fun to do as you please because people here won't actually punch you in the face because you're being an asshole.

With all due respect, sir. :/

It's not between criticism and bad behavior. It's about consenting adults having fun joking with each other and someone being outraged and offended by their humor. Youre the MB equivalent of idiot college kids protesting and disrupting the presentations of Ben Shapiro.

Do you think that if you barged into a bar and demanded that two people who were telling jokes and laughing about them to stop because you don't like that brand of humour and insist that you will forever give them **** for having fun, you would

A. Open up a constructive dialogue where both sides come away with a greater perspective on humour and man in general
B. Be obeyed without a word from the people in the bar
C. Get punched in the face because you're being an *******
D. Get a free drink
?

Shrug. I argue intermittently but I guess I make an impression. And I guess maybe I argue more with all those people than you.

This is something you guys keep harping on about even though I thought the issue was closed in the member picture gallery thread. You spent several pages arguing with me how it was all in good fun and how there's only consenting adults there joshing each other without ever actually checking if the target of this "joshing" was cool with it.
Turned out, he wasn't. :/

So, you know, like to little children, I have to explain (again) that the difference between "kidding around" and abusing each other is if feelings are getting hurt. This should be clear, but apparently your bro culture brimming with masculine toxicity didn't teach you that. People have feelings, and you should be careful with them. :/

Pretty sure most of us addressed (or me anyway) that if that's the case it was wrong. I personally have been insulted plenty and never took offense, some of it was even funny. I don't know why you have trouble understanding that joking and not crossing the line can coexist.

So you'd rather lump us in with what I assume are your negative experiences with toxic masculine bro culture instead of listening to constructive criticism about how your approach isn't tactful and is actually making the culture more toxic because you're unwilling to communicate anything but demands that you get your way. I guess that's one way to make a forum more positive :/.

If we didn't cross the line then kidding around would be boring as ****. **** "playful" cultures where everyone toes the line at all times.

You know, I guess dwn was right, there is a fundamental difference of opinion here, I believe we should try to act civil to each other because that makes interaction more pleasant, you believe being an asshole is more interesting. Wattayougonnado. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
