ok middle aged woman teacher that so happens to be unmarried and has recently encountered a misfortune but it wasn't debt to child payment checks because her uterus is a baron inhospitable wasteland hence will not be able to have children and is also very insecure about her looks but too stuck up to deal with her own problems by herself and would lash it out on her students especially the male students for example exercising double standards between the male and female gender each and every day but not in the presence of the headteacher because she secretly has a crush on him even though he's married and fantasizes about him leaving his wife for her in the toilets where she also masturbates over this fantasy and then one day she was caught by a student but had lesbian sex with the student in hopes they would keep their mouth closed but then a rumour has spread around the school and now has to lay low 50 miles away from any town or city in fear that the police will catch her and throw her in prison

Tbh I love the place and the people there, but I can't fucking handle that tupsu kid. The fact that he/she/it is bratty and has an unrefined, sardonic and downright nauseating opinion of EVERYTHING that's being discussed is something I haven't seen anywhere else.
So, instead of making a drama out of it, seeing as I wasn't of any importance to the place, I just "left". I still browse it every now and then to check up on my favourite Turkish delight (kinda miss her tbh), Briansky, IppE, the crazy Argentinian, you and some other people.

You also need to tell me when those speedrunning contests on twitch are again. I enjoyed it the last time I watched it.
B1rd
Having my posts deleted and certain topics censored because some special snowflakes get triggered is intolerable. Fuck ippe if he thinks he can just delete my posts on whatever arbitrary whim like he's playing king of the fucking castle.
Aurani
Well every place has its rules and the censorship/deletion of some posts indicates that you crossed the line somewhere. What did you post this time you radical mongrel? :p
B1rd
Donald Trump memes.
Milkshake
I think it was something about or related to tupsu and trump. a meme from the bottom of b1rd's heart as far as I can remember... but hey, in the end, he IS the king of the castle. it's his forum after all and he can delete w/e he feels like, even if his reasoning isn't good enough for your taste.
Aurani
Good Trump memes or bad ones?
Either way fuck tupsu, deserves to be killed and fed to coyotes.
B1rd
You're right, my mistake was trusting that having physical control over the server was unnecessary. "Might makes right" after all.
Milkshake
then he could say it was right to not to give you physical control the server because it was childish.

the post that got deleted was pretty childish. you could've "saved" it for yourself and I believe you knew it was going to get deleted. so what was it good for?

What do I care if you think it was "childish"? That's just your subjective opinion, and I've heard other people comment differently. The minute you start thinking that your opinions on whether something is "childish" or not constitute a legitimate reason to start censoring me is the moment I leave. And FYI, the reason I posted it was because I was sick of all the stupid talk of rules and I was forcing IppE to show his hand.

Let's be clear, it wasn't deleted because of any perceived insult, it was deleted because of a unilateral decision by IppE, for some reason, to ban Trump memes from ITT because they triggered a minority of people there. Don't try and shift the blame to me what what I posted, your argument is that "it's his server, so he can do whatever he wants". So be it. I don't want anything to do with that type of authoritarian bullshit which is the reason I advocated leaving for Tuuba in the first place.

How is it his fault? If what he's saying is true, that would mean IppE made a decision to please other people there who were triggered by meaningless jokes.
If you get offended by a joke, grow the fuck up.

The ONLY way for it to be a justifiable "ban" is if Bird is lying and it had nothing to do with other people and it was objectively over the top and stretching the rules of the place.
Milkshake
afaik, tuuba's rules are arbitrary. something around "don't be stupid" would be the most precise way to put it.

afaik there was no ban, b1rd just chose to leave because he's not allowed his safe space.
Even so, this is basic democracy lmao. b1rd was harming the forum more than he was helping it, so he got thrown the fuck out. Seems reasonable to me
Aurani
So basically, he is right by saying it's a faux dictatorship. No true forum has ever worked with arbitrary rules, and the only reason Tuuba is working as it is, is because everyone there is completely comfortable with the others. The moment a new face arrives or someone gets offended and starts complaining is the moment everything goes to shit.

Idk, I have yet to see what those "memes" were to be able to decide whose fault that was.

Also Mahogany mate, what you just wrote there at the end isn't a trait of democracy, but authoritarian rule. :V

not everyone is comfy with each other @ tuuba. but they're also not being intentionally asses towards each other.

Not really, people piss on trash boat all the time, for example, yet we're all still buds. B1rd is just too inept to coexist with other people, apparently.

The only reason you're still "buds" with him is because he is genuinely a nice guy. Most people say that they actually think something is wrong with him and that he's an idiot, so I don't think you're all "buds". I fucking hate the friendly dilly dally bullshit with backstabbing others. I can count the number of people who actually like Boat on my fucking left hand.
Anyways, that was completely off-topic. Boat is a good guy and deserves love.

I hardly think you know what democracy is, my child. 3 offended people telling Bird to shut up is hardly a majority and I'm 100% sure those people were either IppE's fuckbuddies or simply children who can't take a joke.
If it was THAT big of a problem, you could've simply solved it by outright telling Bird to stop being retarded and look around himself - that the posts he makes are not interesting to anyone around. I don't think that's how IppE operates, though. He probably simply deleted it right off the bat.
Yuudachi-kun
That's why I left
Milkshake
@yuudachi I'm not so sure who you were in tuuba because I don't recognize your username really (offtopic)

@aurani he did warn him before deleting his post. he was asked to move his trump memes to the politics thread instead. while I don't really get the intense whining about them coming from certain people there (I personally found them funny tbh), I don't see the big deal with not posting them in the ITT thread but in the politics thread instead :thinking:
Endaris

So let me get this straight - he posted some shit and was warned to post it in the appropriate thread, then ignored it and continued posting it where it doesn't belong?
That's another thing altogether. He is at fault for not adhering to common sense and posting it where it belongs. If what you said is true, it has nothing to do with any rules of the forum or with IppE at all.
In that case it's his common sense that failed completely.

It was a majority of all people who cared about the issue. It was a fairly heated time, and I think it's rather telling that nobody spoke up to defend bird specifically. The rest of the people who didn't speak up didn't care whether he was banned or not. I mean, you don't say real-life elections aren't democratic just because of low voter turnout.

Not wanting to see his shitty offensive jokes doesn't make someone a child, it just means they don't want to see his content on the forum. In which case, voting to get rid of him is literally the most democratic thing they could do.

Bird WAS told to shut the fuck up and that nobody liked his stuff. His response was to turn it up to 11 and intentionally acting unpleasant to others. Then he left because he got all pissy he couldn't autistically screech at people all the time.

My common sense works just fine. Since when is the ITT thread not a general thread for everything? And since when has a certain topic been banned from ITT because there is another thread for it? I could have applied this argument to everything else and complained because someone mentioned something to do with food, because there is a food thread. The reality is, Tuuba doesn't have a big enough userbase so segregating topics doesn't work well and it doesn't promote good discussion. There was no valid reason why Trump memes alone should be targeted; the reality is that it was done because it triggered a few people and IppE and a few others thought that their right not to be offended trumped my right to free speech.

Well I've now seen the posts where IppE and Bird were talking about the thing. I still have no idea what Bird posted, but let me put it like this:
I'm COMPLETELY on IppE's side if Bird posted some shit that could start a discussion about politics. So basically something serious.
I'm COMPLETELY on Bird's side if Bird only posted a joke, because a joke that is political in nature is still just a joke and thus has no reason to be posted in its appropriate thread.

It all boils down to what the shit he posted to begin with. I agree that cooking stuff goes into the cooking thread and politics go into the place with politics, but ONLY if it's worth the time and dedication to be there. If I make a joke about Mahogany being homo, I should not need to make a fucking separate LGBT thread to say "Yo Maho mate, yer gay". It would be downright silly...
However, Bird would definitely have no defense against the decision for it to be deleted if he posted something along the lines of "Trump is gay and all his supporters should die because he wants to build a wall". That's not something lighthearted and definitely doesn't belong in ITT.

Literally what's happening in OT these days.
B1rd
My interpretation of forum rules is this: provided you aren't literally spamming the forum and making it physically difficult for other people to view posts, or on a focused campaign to harass people, then you can post whatever you want; and people are free to be offended or not, and people are free to scroll past content that they don't want to see. If there were to be some major policy or rule change, I assumed that it could be decided in a democratic fashion with votes. And if people decided with a democratic vote that they wanted a safe space rather than a forum of free discussion, then I'd still leave, but at least I'd know that it was because the people there didn't share my ideals and values, rather than an arbitrary decision by IppE which is what happened.

One of the main reasons I advocated for the migration to Tuuba because I wanted a place of free discussion free from shitty moderators banning people and deleting posts for arbitrary reasons, and getting in the way of discussion which is the primary purpose of forums. Because I'm damned sick of having to save any of my posts that were somewhat controversial because otherwise they might be erased from existence by the 1984-ministry-of-truth-esque moderators.

So it isn't that I couldn't have just "posted in the other thread", which I could have done easily, it's because my ideals were violated in an egregious manner. The fact is, if you agree with IppE, you must also agree that people who are offended have the right to censor the speech of those who are offending them. Either that, or you agree that one person should have dictatorial control over the forum "because he owns the server".

I strongly disagree, ITT has never just been for "lighthearted stuff", it's been for everything. And the most serious discussions have almost always happened in ITT. But if we accept that ITT should only be for lighthearted stuff, then why didn't I get to force people posting about LGBT or anything else to post in other threads? I didn't, therefore you can't justify the deletion by saying "you were just posting stuff in the wrong place"

Yo dawg, I'm happy to deal with all the gay jokes you're willing to throw at me. But (theoretically) if I repeatedly ask you to go post it in another thread because it makes me feel uncomfortable, I'd expect you to do so, because that's basic human decency and helps uphold some sort of order in the forum.

Go ahead and joke about something, but if it turns out to be in bad taste and not accepted in the megathread, then you should have enough cop-on to at least be posting it somewhere else. Hell, I know you would.

Bird just stamped his foot on the ground and threw a tantrum, and so his posts were deleted because they were causing disorder and discontent in the forum. He was given a fair chance and he threw it away.

B1rd wrote:

"Go post it in a different thread" isn't censorship.
Aurani
No, I don't agree with you on that one.
If I want to discuss the social implications of Venezuela currently being in a state of anarchy, I should not need to make a thread about it since it's such a narrow topic to discuss. However, ANY kind of politics-related topic should be kept in the politics thread IF it is of serious nature. It's just fucking common sense, mate.

Now, for the post itself:
If you only put the picture up, I would call that a pretty nice joke and would be on your side, but if you put that text along with the picture, that's something serious and worth discussing, which means it goes to the politics thread and not ITT, simply because that's why the fucking politics thread is there for.

Offtopic - I genuinely laughed at the pic, if Granger took it seriously. :V

Yoyoyoyoyo Maho mate, I don't agree with the part where you get offended and tell me to post something in another thread. If I make a joke and Mara gets offended by it, he has no right to tell me to fuck off to another thread without a valid reason for it. Just because he got offended doesn't mean he can tell me where to post my shit, if it's the appropriate place to do so.
B1rd
What part of my post is serious in any way? It's just a parody of one of Trump's speeches.

But that's besides the point. You can say "keep politics in political threads", but you still haven't justified why you don't have to apply that to any other major topics.

And by the way, from what I remember, what was banned wasn't political discussion, it was memes. I think I remember IppE stating that quite clearly, that random political discussions in ITT were OK, but no Trump memes because some people from Tuuba were still salty about the election.

So basically, the reason behind it wasn't because the content of my posts weren't appropriate for ITT, it was because IppE wanted to contain my posts in a containment thread so they wouldn't trigger anyone.
Milkshake
you're getting too worked up for a stupid trump meme that got deleted. it was not just a trup meme even, you were obviously targeting it at Granger and Tupsu for the sake of being a total ass. he didn't tell you not to post the memes. he did not delete it without warning. he just told you to move it to fucking politics, because you were obviously stating your political opinion in a way or another by pestering people with trump memes. while I, again, don't justify crybabying over frigging memes - if you really wanted to stay in the forums, you'd just post it there. I believe that most tuuba users do check the pol thread, so no "exposure" is lost apart from 2-3 frigging people who didn't want to see it in the first place so it has no value.
Mahogany
@Aurani

If something has merit and value to other users of the forum, I agree with you, as long as something doesn't go overboard. Say what you want about intent, but b1rd was the only one who was enjoying b1rd's posts, nobody else found them funny.

I mean, say I map something in osu and I say here "hey dudes, mapping is fun". If someone replies to me and asks what I mapped, who I took inspiration from, etc...then a discussion is forming and it has merit!
Now, other theoretical situation: Nobody replies to me. I keep saying, "Wow, streams are difficult to map" "Jumps are easy to get right" "My maps are the best" "Play my maps guys" but nobody else is replying or taking part in discussion, it obviously has no place in the topic. At that point, I'm just whoring out my map for visibility and should really be posting somewhere else. ESPECIALLY if someone asks me to shut up about my dumb map. If I still don't shut up about my stupid fucking map, I'd deserve to have my posts deleted.

That's my best example, at least.
Aurani
Jesus fuck I wish we were all on a voip for this, since there is more than one layer for this shit.
First layer is the discussion of what does or doesn't belong on ITT
Second layer is if Bird meant that as a joke or not
Third layer is people who might have gotten triggered over it
Fourth layer is if IppE had any personal reasons to delete the post

Now, let's fucking discuss it one by one here. Stop mixing shit up since SOMEONE here either isn't understanding the situation correctly or is lying. Both sides seem to have posted some seriously fishy shit - the fishy shit being:
That meme was definitely not a joke; the picture was, but the text was just edgy and worth being discussed over (Bird's side)
People getting offended is NO reason to tell someone to fuck off. That's exactly why I left the place, since tupsu the glorious imbecile was practically ruling the place with how much "she" (it) got triggered by various posts. (Maho's side)

So this shit has to be cleared out layer by layer instead of arguing about everything at fucking once.

I don't understand why you haven't understood, as I've already explained it, that it wasn't about the meme. It was about the censorship. Why do you think I care in the slightest about posting the meme? I wouldn't have even posted the fricken thing it it wasn't to test if free speech was going to be maintained or not. In the same way, I couldn't care less about Granger or Tupsu, it was just an intentionally incendiary joke to see whether the forum was to be a safe-space or not. And I see you are of the opinion that ITT should be a safe space.


Also if it means anything, Brian more or less agreed with my position.
Milkshake
"oh no, they wanted to move my posts to a different thread, CENSORSHIP!!!!!!!"

Yes it was, very much so.
Aurani
Mate, you need to get that shit out of the way if you intend to discuss it with me. I'm not like them and won't fall for your distractions of whether it's some kind of safe space or if IppE is protecting Granger or tupsu. All I care about are facts.
Is that post intended to be taken seriously? You just answered with yes.
Is ITT the place to post serious stuff about politics or cooking or your feet? No.
Is the reason your post got deleted TRULY due to you not having posted it in the right thread or if people were butthurt about it? That's what we're here to discuss.

So far, you said you intentionally posted something to see if you can "trigger" Granger/IppE/whoever was there, correct? That goes completely on you. You chose to have your post deleted for pushing it too far, even if it was justified.
However, I also do not like what I heard just now. Did IppE SERIOUSLY tell you to post it in the politics thread NOT because it belongs there, but because it TRIGGERS some people who don't like Trump?
Milkshake

Mate, you need to get that shit out of the way if you intend to discuss it with me. I'm not like them and won't fall for your distractions of whether it's some kind of safe space or if IppE is protecting Granger or tupsu. All I care about are facts.
Is that post intended to be taken seriously? You just answered with yes.
Is ITT the place to post serious stuff about politics or cooking or your feet? No.
Is the reason your post got deleted TRULY due to you not having posted it in the right thread or if people were butthurt about it? That's what we're here to discuss.

So far, you said you intentionally posted something to see if you can "trigger" Granger/IppE/whoever was there, correct? That goes completely on you. You chose to have your post deleted for pushing it too far, even if it was justified.
However, I also do not like what I heard just now. Did IppE SERIOUSLY tell you to post it in the politics thread NOT because it belongs there, but because it TRIGGERS some people who don't like Trump?
I'm pretty sure,though I don't have proof since I'm not going back there to check up on facts. You can look it up yourself if you want.

I disagree that ITT is not for serious discussions. We're having one right now, and we've had them in the past. And it seems very stupid to split up a forum that might get 12 posts a day into a dozen different threads. Anyway like I said, if it actually was about it "being in the wrong place", then it would have applied to a lot of things and not just politics. And if it were about me posting in the wrong place, then we could have had some sort of civilised discussion and vote about what exactly what was appropriate in the ITT thread. But that didn't happen.

The post was obviously a joke, it was intended as a joke, and it was basically the final straw to see whether IppE was going to follow though on his threats or whether he was just offering his opinion. The latter one I could have accepted.

Yes, that's what censorship is. And you must realise you're being intellectually dishonest when you're trying to simplify the discussion to single statement like that.
