Because every batch sucks and you think it's the worst batch ever, then the next one comes and you're like "welp fuck I was wrong."

Also if I ever read a ThisWreckage post not mired in bitter distinguished mentally-challenged I might die of shock.

This is the kind of thing inclusivity leads to.

Just read the urbandictionary definition for hugbox

   
A hugbox is a derogatory term for an environment, usually on the internet, in which a group with similar interests gathers to discuss topics in what they intend to be a safe, comforting, and confrontation-free environment.

What they intend to be a "safe space" almost always turns into a circle-jerk of forced consensus and ends with every member repeatedly expressing the exact same opinion to each other, no matter the topic. Since the community is founded on unconditional love and support no matter how much of a tool a person is, these communities tend to attract tools and rational and useful advice is usually a rarity.

Moderators of these groups are usually extremely militant and do not tolerate even the slightest dissenting opinion. Members of these groups are usually so hypersensitive that the moment a contrary opinion appears the entire community explodes in a total drama shitstorm.

Welcome to our community of self-diagnosed Asperger's sufferers. We have all read the wikipedia article and decided that we have Asperger's and thus have an excuse for being anti-social and thinking we're smarter than everyone else. Let's take turns talking about ourselves and how smart we are and how terrible the world is to us, and after we're done everyone else will tell us how brave we are. NO TROLLING. - average hugbox community

Not everyone can view video game websites while they are at work.

Not rehosting the pics is kind of shitty.

Ok, I assume, as a "normal" person, you're repulse by the idea of raping someone, right? Then questions, would you rape someone to avoid be rape yourself? would you rape someone to save your live? If not, why not? you willing to kill but not to rape, how so?

so basically... the "journalist" dressed as rainbow brite turned out to be a huge attention whore, and a liar?

why am I not shocked

[Tasty]

Ok, so because she lied (the fucking BITCH), that absolves everything, everything is her fault, and the victim is actually the poor cis male presenter.

Got it, thanks GAF!

This has got to be a joke.

[benjipwns]

Lexi's quote (and the opposite posts that are in the thread) encapsulates the assumption that there must always be a victim and someone with malicious intent rather than mistakes or misunderstandings made by everyone. Since the original victim can't be the victim or whatever, clearly the other person must be one.

[etiolate]

^^

It becomes a back and forth feeding off of the other's indignation.

[Shadow Mod]

That kind of bullheadedness leaves us nowhere near an easier time for everyone when it comes to this shit, re: Lexi's attitude.

I'd be furious at the TG person for basically lying not trying to cover their ass and still impose blame on some nebulous cis male agenda.

I hope whatever justice needs to happen, happens soon. Because in a few short days. It will be forgotten.

A lot of these always seem like situations where somebody could say "hey, let's inform this guy (and gamers/society/whatever) about what's cool/what's not", talk to him behind the scenes and invite him (if he's not a legitimate raging bigot) to host some trans-community or LGBT event/fundraiser/whatever and everyone has a good time laughing it off while circle jerking over "awareness."

It's really messed up to just not get shit straight at the event or afterwards. Learning moment for everyone. Seems like professionalism is lost though even with the people getting paid.

[Phoenix Dark]

I doubt many people think twice about Lexi on GAF. She's one of the more sensible trans people on the forum although she has said some "wtf" stuff. But she's not Platy...

[benjipwns]

You have no idea, when I went to Taco Bell the other day they asked "how can I help you?" YOU, no SIR, no DUDE, no MISTER. And not once was I asked to pull my dick out, instead they all had horrified looks on their faces when I did it and went behind the counter. It's like can I go anywhere without being microagressed against?
