New Tumblr Rules and the Spine of Deathwing

Best way to handle toxic people in-game is the ignore function. Don’t let them suck all the oxygen out of your game. They thrive on callouts, because it’s attention. Don’t give them any. I guarantee your head space will improve.

This guy internets.

Redundant.

Well you know why diapers have to be changed as much as politicians.

You and my 97 year old grandmother should hang out. Your jokes and ideologies seem to line up pretty nicely.

When I write a lengthy post about why tumblr decided to remove CP off their website. I didn’t expect the next 20 replies to nitpick part of a sentence, not the whole sentence, part of it that says I didn’t like a group of people that goes around setting cars on fire and hitting garbage cans with bats to try to prove a point to the other side. As if that accomplishes anything.

Then they go and start generalizing my views while I feel like any form of defense I come up with will just be attacked with “LEL RANDOM POST” Nah dude let’s just assume I’m a racist that’s against LGBTQ+ people, better healthcare in this country, which I am well aware is a disaster and desperately needs to be modernized.

Do you feel safe on these forums?

A very real and serious question here. I know a lot of people who post here, and a lot who don’t, and I hear very varied opinions on how positive or negative the forum environment is here. So I want to ask, do you feel safe here? Do you feel able to share your opinion without people jumping down your throat? Do you feel like a variety of topics can be discussed here, or are there certain community taboos? Do you feel overwhelmed with negativity, or overwhelmed with positivity, or generally just…

This thread was posted a while ago and I think it still stands. Many of the same people chose to nitpick one part of my post and attack me for it. Rather than discuss what I wanted as a whole. This forum is negative as all hell.

@Zenrao-wyrmrest-accord

The personal attacks aren’t really cool, imo.

No. They aren’t.

[Zenrao-wyrmrest-accord (Zenrao)]

As if that accomplishes anything.

As opposed to your methodology: picking on randos on the internet. I’m sure the world is a better place now that you’ve done this, right?

No. They aren’t.

Yeah that post was because Enekie was stating a harmless opinion about the game, and getting attacked over it. Not because she was politicizing a post that had nothing to do with politics, just to get a rise out of people.

If she had done that, I wouldn’t have said anything. You’re bringing up my response from another thread, out of context, and bringing it into a topic that’s totally unrelated. It doesn’t really make any sense.

[Grimmox-wyrmrest-accord (Grimmox)]

I would argue that this debate about tumblr was already inherently political. And to be blunt. Despite the context, you saying personal attacks aren’t cool, then sliding in a snide comment towards me and about my perceived ideology does make sense.

So by your definition it’s okay for someone to say an opinion about one thing but when someone says something about another thing that you don’t like that’s when it’s okay to start inferring what they believe in even though you know nothing about them? That seems hardly fair.

[Zenrao-wyrmrest-accord (Zenrao)]

No, “by my definition”, sometimes personal attacks are acceptable, sometimes they are not. Because the world isn’t black and white. You trying to frame that as me being hypocritical is purposefully naive on your part.

Someone posting political buzzwords and terms to get a rise out of people, is a bit different than someone saying “I think XY and Z about WoW”. If you are going to sit there and tell me that those two things are the same, I have to assume you’re willfully misunderstanding some basic social concepts, for the sake of an argument.

[Grimmox-wyrmrest-accord (Grimmox)]

If you have to resort to personally attacking someone to get your point across then you’ve lost the argument already. And I know you can bring up the fact that I called the server “Trash” twice now. That refers however to the attitude of the community as a whole.

You are being hypocritical if I did think of it the first way. But if you think personal attacks are okay for people you think are on the other side of the political spectrum then go for it.

If you think I’m posting then I’m not sure what you think serious debate is. I AGREE with the people in this thread on why dumb callout blogs should be removed.

[Zenrao-wyrmrest-accord (Zenrao)]

Cool. So you won, you can stop now.

[Grimmox-wyrmrest-accord (Grimmox)]

Lol it took you less than 10 seconds to reply to that. You didn’t even bother reading my post. I have nothing against you. You baffle me.

[Zenrao-wyrmrest-accord (Zenrao)]

Lol it took you less than 10 seconds to reply to that. You didn’t even bother reading my post.

That’s because your opinion means VERY little to me at this point. I assume it’s mutual, so idk why you insist on continuing to reply to my stuff.

I’ll have you know good sir, I have a very pleasant attitude!

[Laurensa-wyrmrest-accord (Laurensa)]

I knew what would happen if I dropped this particular signifier in my post, but by gum I had to do it!

[Zenrao-wyrmrest-accord (Zenrao)]

If you consider the server trash, why do you continue to waste time interacting with the community?

To troll. But when I bring that up, he fans his face, flustered at such an outrageous accusation.

[Rialius-wyrmrest-accord (Rialius)]

Careful guys. He’s already playing his oppressed rightist libertarian victim card. He’s going to become angry and threatening next.

[Zenrao-wyrmrest-accord (Zenrao)]

Adult content being banned from tumblr…

WrA is trash, something something antifa.

Yeah that’s a solid leap.
