The 5 geek social fallacies. Know them well.I really resent the idea that all the spinoff forums so far have been entirely devoted to bitching about Tv T, especially after their foundation.
ETA: Yes, a lot of us do not meet eye to eye with the way things are done here, I'll agree with that, but IJBM has moved on from that, and Heapers Hangout pretty much never was about bitching about Tv T in the first place.

HH is awesome (*Way better than here*). I dunno about IJBM II though, and IIRC BTL kinda died off...

The 5 geek social fallacies. Know them well.Wait, so we were being serious?
So this is a serious thread dedicated to worrying about / feeling bad for the people being banned for defending pedophilic anime?
I think I'm going to be ill.

The 5 geek social fallacies. Know them well.Even BTL has moved on from the whole "Criticizing Tv Tropes" thing by now. Hell, if there was one forum that actually was explicitly about criticizing tvtropes, it was that, whereas IJBM, while having been started by people who did not agree with the administration (And GMH) and constantly derailed to that topic in particular, wasn't specifically about that.

What exactly produces a culture so horrid?

The 5 geek social fallacies. Know them well.OK, three things:
- Mocking the guy who really doesn't like being mocked is not exactly "basic human decency", Inane
- I don't actually agree with the idea of censoring articles about lolicon, but I am really bothered by the way these shows get constant praise by our editors and as such, I'm on board with this, even if I'm quite bothered by the execution of the plan
- With all of that said, I really really wish we didn't just ban people instead of letting them speak up, if possible. Or at least, letting us see the posts in order to understand why was KITA banned. I've seen him in IJBM and he was...OK. At least, he didn't overlty advocate lolicon or whatever.
Yeah, I'll meditate so much I'll come to the conclusion...
Oh, forget it. This is a complete wast of my time, I might as well be talking to a brick wall.
The 5 geek social fallacies. Know them well.That's pretty much my view. I feel like I just watched a train fly off the rails and explode, but it was full of Zerg and fell on a bunch of Daleks. I mean...our trains should probably be better than that, but I can't say good wasn't done by it.
I'm not attempting to be. I'm stating my issues at hand and what I find to be the conclusion of what such a meditation would be. I'm hideously flawed as well and I admit to it, but I am making attempts to stick with these, going so far as to stopping with any mockery of other individuals out of malice. I suppose at the end of things I will end joking mockery for the sake of love as well.
Given that I hate myself and feel myself more or less completely inferior to others I can't really self-righteous if we want to be technical with definitions. I'm not greater than. I just want people to stop and calm down and in fact that would be the result of the meditation one would take after mocking someone.
The meditation being one of Loving Kindness. It's a specific practice meant to help with many things. In part any feelings of malice, anger, and so on. Along with mocking and other unkind acts as well as any sort of numbness to the sufferings of others.
If someone wants to accuse us of eating coconut shells, then that's their business. We know what we're doing. - Achaan Chah~skims thread~ ....Seriously, people?
I vowed, and so did you: Beyond this wall- we would make it through.

Dear TV Tropes.
Please stop putting me in situations where I've already clicked on "reply" before I realize it's a dumb idea to make veiled criticisms of authority figures.
Preferably by replacing the authority figures.
When people are unjustly banned for criticizing authority, you know what they do? They go to one of the spinoff fora and bitch about us, which both makes us look bad and is beyond our control. Sometimes they even make their own spinoff site devoted to "TV Tropes is horrible".
