The Eternal Thread: 2016 is dead! Long live 2017!

I've seen things in the evidence locker, man...

Pornspammers on fire off the shoulder of Orion. Shock images glittering in the dark near the Tannhauser Gap.

I do not envy you guys.

[Sungai Pusat]

Indeed you all aren't really.

Also... well, I'm more tolerant of sexualised MLP art because... well, I mean I guess in terms of accpetance iwtihn the world if they did exist as people, it would be sexualising... well, what are essentially coloured sentient beings, so... problematic I guess to a sense, but not horrifying.

The problem lies in doing it to kids, in my mind, because.... well, you know; kids. They're still mentally/sexually maturing/haven't even FUCKING matured yet in that way.

Oh yeah... jesus. o_o

Eh, you get used to it, after a while shock images just become blasé. The people who spam these sorts of things don't really have enough imagination to find anything really horrifying.

TBH, that's the worst part of being a mod. The "OMG! MODS ARE ABUSING THEIR POWER!" stuff takes a little getting used to, but it's not as viscerally disturbing.

I stopped reading those threads a long time ago. It seems to follow the same template every time.

D:

Going to bed now.

It's 4:50 PM

I'm not tired.

The screaming is not because I'm fatigued.

The context is because I saw someone using the conversion rate of years between two species to justify pedophilia for a fanwork of something that is for human consumption and that the original work itself is meant for- BASICALLY LOLICON

The only reason I fucking know of this is because I watch the artist and that's the only image they'd posted of that nature.

Like, of specifically lolicon of MLP, so I'm so goddamn sorry Herp. ):

It's ok.

I'll make a fresh perspective one, I won't even bring up the first amendment

It would also be refreshing if the incident that sparked the creation of the thread wasn't an instance of the OP being deservedly admonished/warned/banned/DEAT'd.

There's been one or two over the years who were just bright-eyed naive idealists who couldn't see the gaping flaws in their plans to bring freedom and democracy to NationStates.

No way I didn't deserve that ban, I'm in no way at fault for the fact that I ERP in tgs, I'm so unashamed I'll make myself into a victim in my signature and advertise places to 'talk' off site. Who cares if that one kid was literally groomed, my jollies are all that matter. I'mma let the mods know

Everyone is being treated like a special snowflake except meeeeeeeeeeeee-uh!

Problem is that people keep it up even when you make it clear to them that decisions are taken as a group and not just by one member of the staff acting out some personal vendetta.

Speaking from experience.

[Yoite]

It's amazing to think how much has changed in my life since I made this account six-ish years ago, yet how much about me has stayed the same.

Of course, sometimes the group is very divided... But still, if it's just one mod out to get you, their rulings will get overturned on appeal.

There's too many people alive these days for many of them to matter.

[Vassenor]

There's too many people alive these days for many of them to matter.

I know I certainly don't matter.

[Dumb Ideologies]

There's too many people alive these days for many of them to matter.

Very true. Personally, I broadly order them as following:

Me
Partner, Friends, Family
People sharing similar social characteristics to me
Disposable NPCs

Noooo, of course you do.

So, TET, what do you think of me?

From your post history, you seem to be one of the few genuinely good people that I know.

I am giving you a title. From now on you are Sir Herp the Merciful.

I believe he's now obligated to make a silly French pun out of that and go "Merci beaucoup!"

Or... honestly, the thought came to me because reasons, idk puns are nice right?

Last night I had many very realistic nightmares and woke up after 6 hours, after which I was feeling very tired and could barely open my eyes, so I went back to bed and slept for another 2 hours. Has something like that happened to any of you too recently?

Shall I fetch a warm blanket and some of our most potent rum?

Sounds like you could be having fever-dreams. D'you feel ill?

No, it wasn't anything like that.
