Well in that aspect, I agree with you. Boat is a cool dude and fuck anyone who says he's an idiot or anything. You can count me in on that hand of yours.Aurani wrote:
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.
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.Aurani wrote:
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.
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.Aurani wrote:
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.
Aye, that's pretty much what happened.Aurani wrote:
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.
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.Aurani wrote:

Then you should have, and we would have voted on it.B1rd wrote:

Your memes being voted out is a demonstration of OUR free speech.B1rd wrote:

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...
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"Aurani wrote:
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.
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.Aurani wrote:

"Go post it in a different thread" isn't censorship.B1rd wrote:
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.
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.Milkshake wrote:
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.
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.Aurani wrote:
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?
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.Milkshake wrote:
how come? because 3 people could decide whether to see your posts about trump or not??
