I posted twice in creepshot thread and am still a junior so I am genuinely hoping the angel of death passes over.
Junior members have a shorter leash.
Sentry, what do you think your chances are?

Time to put on some dramatic classical music.

You are part of the problem. No, I am not just throwing out a cliche. If you stay away from topics you consider serious because of other posters, you are only encouraging the conformity you dislike.Honestly, I feel like this forum passed a point of no-return a year or two ago, and it's never going back. The moderation favored cohesion and acceptance-at-all-costs over lively debate, and now we're reaping the rewards.
Controversial topics have become toxic, and controversial opinions (that being anything outside the progressive way of framing the world) even more so. Almost every time the outcome is predetermined: posters trip over themselves to quote dogpile a dissenting view into oblivion and derail a thread in order to show some sort of holier-than-thou high-mindedness.
For a forum that rails on about "privilege" so much in its many forms, there seems to be a particular sort of privilege that goes unmentioned and is even encouraged: the empowerment of certain groups to get outraged and berate others who don't share their view with impunity.
It makes me stay away from participating any semblance of a discussion concerning serious issues.
Anyway, back to your irregularly-scheduled bloodlust countdown.

Creepshots thread had a lot of "you wear yoga pants out of the house (or clothing "I" consider sexual) you get what you deserve." If people think there is an actual discussion to be had there then what the fuck bros.

Should I wait and see? OR should I go to Popeyes for that new Dippin Chicken deal, and come back for the fallout?

But if you don't conform most of the time, then there's the chance you will be banned or the threat of being banned will be thrown at you constantly.
Aint gonna happen cap'n.The twist will be that everyone who posted in this thread will be the ones banned.
Only if you think mods ban based on pressure from posters and quotes. I have made some arguments that were pretty unpopular, but the only time I have been banned (so far LOL) was when I insulted another gaffer.
