The Bore is a place of nightmares and walking horrors, suitable only for those who have shed their humanity and put upon their shoulders a cloak made from new flesh.

push the lever too far and it becomes an asphyxiation station.

also i learned a hugbox is a thing that physically exists.

pretty sure that hugbox is what parents use to "accidentally" crush their autistic kids to death

what i'm not sure of if that makes this place more or less or a virtual hugbox

We're not a hug box, everyone gives everyone shit and you need to be able to handle that.

We're not malicious, though.
Title: Re: the bore votes: are we a safe space?
Post by: Himu on June 11, 2015, 01:46:31 PM
Have to say I don't like the implication from this thread that the recent reddit drama is indicative that not supporting the existence of forums that message people death/rape threats while doxxing their personal information and going on social media harassment brigades equates you to participating in a hugbox.

I also don't appreciate that such behavior should be taken as a joke.

All in all, the joke is badly timed, and i'm not sure what Cruncheon is trying to achieve here. Are you saying that trying to make a website a safe space is a bad thing and that people who try to do so are participants in hug box thinking? Are our concerns not legitimate and worth mocking?

How am I to construe your post? Because it certainly isn't funny, especially in light of the fact that sites are legitimately trying to recruit for hate speech across social media sites. People even lurk this site to create hateful content outside of it. Yes you are not taking this seriously and deem it worth mocking. Or did you not think this through when you made this topic?
Title: Re: the bore votes: are we a safe space?
Post by: Himu on June 11, 2015, 01:49:14 PM
So in light of a site that says that Devo should be shot in the head and attempts to doxx me and her as well as throwing threats just because I am trans, you think this is funny and that Tumblr "trigger warning" culture is relevant in this situation?

Fuck you.

WUT. himu, i made this poll when i was high as fuck. no correlation between this and your shidoshi spat, or the redditocalypse. i'm only here to mock the bore and make inside jokes.

that said, i DO find the language of intersectionalism and tumblr scolds kinda hilarious to misappropriate, because i am a giant fuckface.

Depending on how you define a hugbox, this place definitely qualifies. People call each other out, but in the end it still seems more caring (maybe because of size) than GAF has been for a long time. Apart from some trolls, no one seems to seriously antagonize anyone else.

On GAF, every one of your comments is always in danger of being actively interpreted in the worst possible way, which makes (risky) jokes impossible.

this place is pretty safe as long as you groove on the juicy brolove vibe. we let neofeg stick around too long despite the dude clearly being damaged goods -- mostly because he targeted a few key boreans with cheap and overt flattery -- but hey, nothing's perfect. we're not a fuckin' tumblr orthodoxy.
Title: Re: the bore votes: are we a safe space?
Post by: Kara on June 11, 2015, 04:56:25 PM
Since this thread got cereal, no it's not a safe space, but at least the prevailing mores are mostly tolerant (in the negative freedom sense). You can fall on the extremities of its bell curve so long as you're amusing and able to keep yourself "chill."

If all forums must be the same what is the point in having separate forums as they say on a subreddit that isn't banned.

i don't think we ever pretended it WAS a safe space. however, that's really outside this joke poll -- thanks, himu-chan :beli -- which was entirely made up as yet another van cruncheon vehicle for perverting popular internets terminology into an excuse for homoerotic flirtation.
