I guess it still amazes how willingly dense folks try to be in these arguments.
When I saw that I immediately thought, he's doing this on purpose but now. I don't even know anymore.

The shit that just made me laugh was the in Oklahoma thread - "Hey hey hey let's not slander these murderers with accusations of racism." Like even if that's wrong in that case, who would give a shit?

With the higher-ups on GAF making a stronger effort to handle racism (or accusations of lack thereof, "they're just insane, it's not a race thing") and the like, I have to wonder if GAF is due to an update on terms of use. I mean yeah, of course the TOS already covers "don't be a dick, avoid obscenity or directly threatening the safety of other members," but I feel like it wouldn't hurt to explicitly lay stuff out to avoid having to pre-emptively lay out "don't derail using x or any variation thereof" in future threads. If any mods could shed some light on this, has it been considered?

Judging by your Favorite list, I'd probably start with Mirai Nikki and Kokoro Connect above the others. You might also like Psycho Pass, but I haven't finished it yet. And Nichijou is just hilarious.
'Is the victim actually black?' got me. Um, yup. Black enough that there'd have been no questions if he was on the other end of the gun.
....sigh. I really didn't want to think of that thread. Shit's so sad. Imagine meeting someone, getting with 'em, giving them shelter, and then being murdered by their parents. Gut wrenching.
That would be beautiful.

MHWilliams is that a list of your favorites or just a list of every anime you've ever seen?
Oh no that's bullshit, but I'm really more talking about someone from Europe or Asia or something who might make an innocuous comment (like "why no water cannons") because they're genuinely unaware of the history. Like, what's Mufasa's reaction to some of the shit he sees in Japan relating to Africans?

Speaking of other mods (and Devo):
I think we all use it pretty commonly. It's really just an easy way for us to do stuff without having to use the clunky-ass vBulletin interface. He makes it possible for me to ban folks on my cell phone, so I can bring the thunder anytime, anywhere.
I banned someone last night while I was at dinner with my wife, then got in trouble for GAFfing at the table.
This is what's happening with the Zoe Quinn stuff on Gaming. Sexist idiots are trying to appeal to "non-censorship" and demanding for so-called fair and open discussion of SHIT that deserves no platform. I don't get this thinly veiled crap to entertain every dumb, bigoted idea. This is why pogi got called out earlier in this thread. A person's hyper rationality, over politeness and easygoing smiles/sunshine personality doesn't make saying some of that shit okay.
Golden niggas.

Taylor Swift has the grace of a new born deer.
My exact observations. It's often the same people vehemently defending the same derailing arguments. Only very few are making a first-time mistake in dismissing racism. One can usually tell which is a novice to the discussion and which is the repeat offending asshole.

Yo fam, this stat just came across my inbox from a reporter looking to interview families.
620,000 households that include at least one soldier, reservist or guardsman - or 25 percent of the nation's total active duty and reserve personnel - are seeking aid from food pantries and other charitable programs across the country, according to Feeding America.
holy fuck. these aren't vets; they're active or reserve soldiers.

Strawberry Letter 23 has me feeling some type of way every time it shuffles on now. Fucking Six Feet Under man (pls don't google the two if you haven't seen the show! -- if you have, you know what I'm talking about, right??).
I've read that a few times on this forum tbh. Always funny.

Ask your friend how many times they saw Boys Over Flowers and report back. Depending on your answer, I will respond with the appropriate amount of head shaking

I have a weird feeling I've heard stuff like this from Kpop Jpop and JRock fans before...when it is clearly and undeniably the other way around. (meaning they are heavily influenced by american rap/rock/pop acts but for some reason always seem to be ~5-10 years late to the party)
