Post a quote, that could have just been text but instead for some stupid reason is an image, entertain me!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but one of the unspoken (or maybe it's even spoken, I don't know) guidelines on this forum is that people don't get to tell each other that they shouldn't be offended by something. Particularly when the lecturer does not have the life experience of the offendee they are lecturing.

Pfft. I wish.

You know, that could have just been text but for some reason is an image. I'm entertained.

Hah, I didn't even notice how clever that was. Well done.

I'm greatly entertained by the juxtaposition of that message...lol.

Cool story, bro.

What happened around here? I remember back to the days of ole' where when I came to the "entertain me" threads, I would see actual entertainment. Now I see things removed half of the time and everyone getting offended.

I'm not pointing anyone out specifically, so I don't want this to be a targeted post. I used to love coming to these threads to escape reality for a bit but now it seems so different.

Alternatively, go to a Taco Bell.

And they don't even have the decency to argue in image form.

Not sure what they make at a Taco Bell even qualifies as a taco (or any other Mexican or Tex-Mex “food”)

We were a lot happier back before it felt like the US was teetering on the brink of fascism.

I like Taco Bell as far as fast food goes, but I definitely refer to their menu as "Mexi-can't."

He's not wrong.

We are rapidly moving from moderation to censorship and it regularly is unevenly applied based on personal biases, belief system, or agenda and not always the GWJ Code of Conduct.

"Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, violent rhetoric, personal attacks, racism, sexism, fascism, ablism, homophobia, transphobia, or any other hate-based ideology."

The bolded behaviors are regularly tolerated as long as it is "punching up" so to speak with the appropriate target and the en vogue GWJ poster. So if our pledge is "In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as posters and moderators pledge to making participation in our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, disability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, level of experience, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation." we aren't always universally applying those principals. If that's where the community wants to go than be honest about it and caveat that those behaviors are acceptable as long as they punch up at the right group of people.

I would also like clarification on this, primarily to reduce the amount of people of privilege claiming victim status about it.

Quality rebuttal.

First time I smiled at this thread is several pages.

I know that we've joked about everyone else for decades but now that the joke is about me I'm going to need some rules clarification.
