Hey, we are almost at 15000

Maybe not a troll but I feel like you’re very angry for the wrong reasons.

This threads really just here to vibe and curtail the spam of those T threads. Has it worked exactly like that all the time? Nah, but its point and purpose is good.

Most of the “straight” threads have been arguably hostile reactions to this thread existing or to those spam threads. They’re getting closed down because jerks keep closing them down. Its really hard to start something like that without the inherent hostility it brings. (And for my personal thought I don’t really see why people need those spaces when they’re literally able to be anywhere else. They’re not facing any backlash for existing.)

I watched that thread for awhile last night and it seemed like it was doing ok for awhile, bumpy but not like… bad bad. I think I went to bed before it started to falter so I can’t really say anything to why that one was closed down.

I think there is a high chance that those threads might meet the same fate for the same reasons. Might take longer though. Making something in hate isn’t ever going to go well.

(Mind not saying you hate, just a general hate from others)

Don’t violate the CoC. Best advice I can give.

These never stick around, so you’re good.

Personally, identity hangout threads should have their own place other than WoW General.

It feels like this identity thread is filled with boldness and a little malice knowing that the staff will not touch it under any circumstances. Don’t we have a General Any Topic somewhere? If not, why not?

We do, actually:

I just want to add that, that specific poster seems to come into this thread to literally be nothing but drama and complain and while I did support that thread last night when it was made, I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if after I went to bed that it devolved into a mess because that’s almost what always what happens in those threads.

Members of ruling majorities often pretend that marginalized people act in positions of power when we’re reacting to their discrimination.

“What about straight pride” they’ll ask without understanding LGBTQ+ pride and why it’s important as a marginalized community’s historic reaction to bigotry and oppression.

Only malice in this thread tends to come from without rather than within.

Besides, if we did go there to hang out we’d be kicked right back out by the same people who come here to rail against this thread existing.

On another note, I got the helmet partway done for my werewolf costume!

I’m going to be working more on it tonight. I got to add foam etc and I think it will be same as done after that to put on fur!

Still weird how the person who hates that this exists constantly hangs out here

The Straight Thread started off fine and then devolved into debates. I am pretty sure LGBT was mentioned more in the straight thread than here.

Which doesn’t get the same treatment that this one does. 'Cause this thread can “devolve” into “debates” (as well) but instead of removing the thread, the “debates” get removed. But, with the other one, the whole thing gets removed.

EDIT: But, I get it, we can’t have such a thread exist. It’s just not possible. Which is my entire point, that I’ve been saying, the entire time. So, don’t just tell me “lol just create one” 'cause it’s only going to get deleted. There’s just no way for one to exist, it’s impossible 'cause trolls are gonna troll :woman_shrugging:

It’s their own fault for pretty much ignoring everyone after they disagree with them about literally anything.

It stayed civil except for the classic blood elf who had no other intentions than getting it deleted by upsetting people
