Another thread about 4chan

Sorry but WTF are ad hominem attacks doing in the 'Pics of everyone' thread?

I think most of us are wondering the same thing.

The picture thread is for pictures and discussion of those pictures. Please take the strange 4chan arguing to the strange 4chan thread (I've never been there and know some of these terms so it's not unreasonable that the louder 4channers have spread the language across the net). The anti-Rui stuff is, as always, welcome in my PM box.

Since it came up I'd also like to say that in general please could we avoid the use of "fag", it has certain pejorative connotations which I think reasonably fall under the offensive language rule. Even though it's common to say now it can still hurt people.

Edit: Unless explicitly talking about smoking in a very British accent. Though I don't think that tends to come up here much...

R (Having done something once which I deliberately mentioned at the time does not equate to doing it "constantly". I don't mind people criticising me but don't make things up to do so.)

With respect, I think we all know, the context I used it in was not aimed to offend anyone. "4chan fag" is a term i've heard strewn about all across this forum.

I know. But as a potentially offensive term I think it might be best to err on the side of caution from now on.

Split this into its own special topic so the previous derailment doesn't take down a perfectly good picture thread.

Err, 4chan people don't say or use "bra" unless they're discussing the removal of the clothing used to ease the strain on the backs of women and large men. Spyro is just odd.

There are some insults that are popular in certain countries and on certain sites. In America males tell her other that they're objects used to clean ladies vaginas when bonding, and on 4chan "fag" is used a suffix.

joy-killing new admins
If I have one single thing to say on this matter, it's that whatever the new administration / moderation team has been killing, it certainly hasn't been joy.
 
"bra" and "bro" are merely minutely different takes on the same thing. 4chan just happens to use "bro" more often. It's not the point.

Yeah, sure. :roll: Just stop antagonising people. It's getting old.
 
So, if I'm annoyed by something, I shouldn't mention that and just keep it to myself. In other words, I have no right to not be annoyed by other members. But if I annoy other members, they have a right to not be annoyed by me? Doesn't make sense, sorry. All I'm doing is voicing these objections. Of course I can't make, nor do I expect, people to do as I say, but I can at least remark on these things. If you don't want to hear it, just ignore it.
 
Obviously not. If admins actually believe that nonsense (that PMs are the best way to solve differences), they would be practising as they preach. Rui clearly doesn't believe this. Neither do the other admins. Your constant admonishment of PMs is totally undermined by your hypocrisy, I'm afraid.

Why does Spyro201 think this is 4chan? :s

This statement is as intelligent as 4chan

If you could do it without trolling, I'd have no problem. However, you seem to like bringing Lupus into these arguments for some strange reason, even when he has nothing to do with it. You also troll threads just to show you object. Just how is that helping anyone? It won't help the ones you annoy because you're going about it the wrong way and it won't help you because you're just giving people an excuse to ignore you.

Also, I recall you objecting to my Game Collection thread and calling it an exercise in vanity, which I do know it is, even though you've posted photos of yourself in the Self Pictures thread which is even more vain. You're either a troll or hypocrite. Pick one.

At least someone else notices xD

He just needs to calm down and stop being a troll. After all, he wouldnt want someone to call him... a 4chan troll, would he?!?!?!
 
To CitizenGeek

1, You can bring the rudest words you want, if they were not meant to offend (the person using them lacks the intent to cause a person or persons to be offended), there can be nothing offensive about them

2, Yes, obviously you have a right to hold opinion. There is, however, a margin of toleration. The use of the word 'bra' throughout the forums is not to your detriment in any way. It does not put you, or anyone else at a disadvantage. Even if it derives from 4chan, there is nothing inherently sinister about the word. By opposing the word so strongly, you only prove your unfounded prejudice and its extent. Mentioning a person who did not partake in the discussion as sort of a 'demon' or 'evil spirit' likely to corrupt is clear evidence that you are writing your complaint because your sense of aesthetics is upset. But again, let me refer to the margin of toleration. This is a public forum, so obviously, there are loads of people who may or may not like each other for various reasons. The correct approach is to tolerate each other, as opposed to develop a super-sensitive community where only appropriate things may be said, lest they offend others. I think people on most forums have a right not to be intentionally offended in a gross fashion, but there should be no rule which creates a right not to be offended at all.

To recap. The word 'bra' is neither meant to be offensive nor is really crucial. It is just a word used for a purpose without any intention of offending anyone.
 
Faggot's meant to be some sort of meat product I think:

I'll try to assist CitizenGeek by teaching him not to be hurt or angered by petty insults: CitizenGeek, you are a man eating [word removed by Rui].


To be fair to him, Spyro can be very, very, very, very, very annoying with his usage of "d00d" and the like. Redrum comes to mind when he messages me on MAL in what I can only presume to be code. It's not worthy of an attack on him but it can get rathing testing.

Okay- I will not refer to you as 'd00de', okay? lol. I haven't called you that in bloody ages anyway after the first time you moaned at me for it.

About the 'brah' thing, I've heard people say that in real life. Not often, but I do hear it the odd time. I don't think it's exclusive to 4chan. Since Spyro doesn't visit 4chan, I assume he picked it up from around too. It's just slang, really.

Exactly.
