Nov 2023 Mod notice:
There may be other, more specific, threads about some aspects of US politics, but this one tends to act as a hub for all sorts of related news and information, so it's usually one of the busiest OTC threads.
If you're new to OTC, it's worth reading the Introduction to On-Topic Conversations
and the On-Topic Conversations debate guidelines
before posting here.
Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.
If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules
when posting here.
In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

I'm trying to, but it seems like I always get sucked into some MAGA hole that that's even more unhinged than the one before, including in DeviantART of all places. It's really messing my head, and I should stop giving them attention indeed.

Scaled seekerIf you keep finding yourself going into MAGA sections of the internet unintentionally it may be worth reviewing if your internet-habits inadvertently align with those of MAGA conspiracy-theorists in less obvious ways.

I often times deliberately seek these places out on the Web.
Off course, I always need lots of showers afterwards.

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"The Azur Lane fanbase, for example, has more than it's fair share of cryptos posting actual nazi dogwhistles and propaganda skulking around.
Don't ask me how I know that.

i'm tired, my friendEvery time I go on DA I find some good art, a lot of crappy art, and a lot of "precious butterfly souls" who form communities around being completely unable to handle any sort of criticism.

Including Porn with Plot - that's where Sunstone got its start, after all.
"Why would I inflict myself on somebody else?"Most of everything is terrible. That there's terrible porn doesn't especially privilege it.
I don't believe in demonizing sex workers. Laws against prostitution, porn, and other forms of it inevitably target the participants in a way that makes their job less safe and more demonized.

I'm done trying to sound smart. "Clear" is the new smart.
