    Poll: Do You Manspread

    I'd really love for you to repeat that statement while an obese man is sitting on your lap.

    Poll: Do You Manspread

    Usually sit with my legs crossed. Never had any issue whatsoever closing my legs. If anyone does have issues they should probably have that checked out by a doctor, if your balls are that bloated you've probably got an STD of some kind...

    Facial hair: yes or no?

    Considering my cheeks don't grow any hair I usually refrain. That fact combined with long hair mean that when I don't shave I look like your stereotypical VOC merchant.

    A question about drunk legality, and holding people responsible.

    I think, in all cases, it's more of a case of can't resist or know what you're doing because you're too drunk and the other party could be reasonably expected to know that. I think in regards to drunk driving if you can show that: - You were drunk to such a degree that you couldn't...

    "You only wrote this, I actually read it"

    I'd say that an author's interpretation of their work is the correct one. I'd also say that if an author's interpretation doesn't match the interpretation of the majority of their intended audience then he/she is a bad author. Considering the example given in the OP I don't know if the OP...

    Is this guy a dick or is this ableism?

    There seems to be a distinct lack of whirlpools in this story. Anyway it's not a dick move and even if you felt it was I wouldn't say it was ableist to feel that was so. At least, I'm assuming you'd feel exactly the same way if someone decided to enter a 200 character email or misspelled...

    Why are so many people here angry?

    I apologize for cutting away the rest of your post, but I feel we're kinda going in circles so instead I figure I'll just focus on this part as this seems were we're mostly in agreement. If you want a response to any of the rest feel free to ask though, I don't mind responding but I'd feel as if...

    Why are so many people here angry?

    As you say yourself, a forum is not really a place with a single style and a single artist having their pre-arranged place on an exclusive stage. And yeah, it probably will be a noisy shithole, already is if we're being honest. It could be a more fun and friendly one though, which is something...

    Why are so many people here angry?

    I'm not entirely sure what the point you're making is, I'll try to refrain from assumptions but please do correct me if I'm going off the rails somewhere. But I do think you're accurately describing how many interactions on these forums go. People see a post they find staggeringly offensive...

    Why are so many people here angry?

    You're right in that, I missed the part about groups. Still the fact remains that there's posts in that thread which don't say those things, merely imply all kinds of hostility without directly calling names. I don't see those as any better or worse yet posts like those rarely, if ever, get...

    Why are so many people here angry?

    He isn't directly calling other forum members that. He's just saying it in general about a group of people. Which whilst completely breaking the spirit of the CoC doesn't break the letter. For all we know he genuinely believes every single gay Escapist member is the exception, after all, he did...

    Why are so many people here angry?

    Only if you moderate by dictionary. In which case why use actual moderators and not simply use a simple word-based filter to auto ban users who use bad words. Context matters. Intent matters. Which is exactly my point. A post without any expletives but written with horrible intent in...

    Why are so many people here angry?

    Except under current rules B wouldn't say that. Exactly because he'd get banned. Instead B would post a long diatribe accusing A of overly generalising Gamergate, of which he's personally certainly not a part but nonetheless feels some sympathy with considering the extremely common behaviour...

    Why are so many people here angry?

    Maybe I'm just weird but in comparison to the passive-aggressive implications that get thrown around these forums constantly I personally find being called actual expletives to genuinely be much better. I'm not claiming directly insulting someone is somehow a good thing but honestly, I think...

    Bethesda Raising Fallout 4 DLC Season Pass Price and Details First Content

    Just another reason to wait for the Game of the Year / Ultimate / Whatever edition next year that'll have it all. Plenty of great mods bound to be around by then as well.
