Happy (?) April Fools

[Davsto]

Yeah I think all of these were good in concept but taken too far in execution

Title Fairy free reign? Entertaining and relevant. Insisting it were true to the point where Chevre and zoraster were making big posts about it? Not as funny.
Silly rule changes and mod anarchy where random people are banned then other mods are banned and name colours are changed as a result? Hilarious to me, as I didn't see the Reckoner drama-y thread until it was all over. If I had been following the Reckoner thread along the way, I'd have found it less amusing as that seemed too harsh.

wow psyche im really glad youre perfect at understand things but not all of us are and your condescension and lack of understanding of those who felt pained is rather irritating

[Davsto]

that post was a polite way of saying "psyche have some damned empathy" like just because you got it doesn't mean everyone else did and it feels like you're just invalidating the concerns of those who were upset by the drama

Like I knew the site thing was a joke but reading the Reckoner thread post-that made me feel rather uneasy even though I knew it was a joke

someone doesnt have a sense of humour holy shit

Someone doesn't have a sense of empathy holy shit

Like don't get me wrong I'm someone who largely found it funny, if executed rather poorly

But the way that people who - perfectly reasonably - took issue with it are being talked down to is pretty fucking disgusting tbh

[Davsto]

people being upset about titles on an online forum is pretty hilarious

reck was in on it, and it was hilarious. Comedy is best when its unexpected and has the ability to make you see things differently.

Nothing came even remotely close to crossing a line and implying that it did is pretty fucking disgusting tbh

Really? Even the screenshot of the Facebook conversation where it looked like very personal arguments were being thrown between Reck and Pie? Not everyone is fucking perfect at reading situations and so not everyone realised it was just a joke, especially when things got that personal. To treat those people who were worried or the like by it with your sense of contempt is really unpleasant.

You know who else told me I had "no sense of humour" when I got upset by unpleasant things they said? My bullies. The people who made me feel incredibly insecure and generally worthless and the feelings from that are still with me today.

Just because you found it funny doesn't mean everyone did. No need to go around antagonising them just because you viewed it differently. Your lack of empathy is disturbing.

[Davsto]

Also hiplop why did you single out my post? It wasn't even unreasonable - it was saying that the concepts were entertaining but the execution could be better but no, that's the one you single out to start shit about. What exactly do you have against me?

yea, that was pretty hilarious.

Being offended doesn't mean you're right, etc.

Wow it's almost like humour is fucking subjective.

I'm not even saying "wow it was bad how dare you find it funny". I'm merely saying that you should have at least a tiny bit of sympathy for those who were upset by it and be more willing to see it from their position, rather than deriding and invalidating their concerns by attacking their sense of humour. These people on the forum are actual people with emotions, and you seem to have no respect for that.

[Davsto]

So apparently offering constructive criticism to the execution of those kind of jokes to maximise comedic effect and minimise upset is "not having a sense of humour".

All I was saying was that adding rather personal drama to a situation when it's not clear who's in on it or not can be rather uncomfortable to watch and makes the silliness less funny (not unfunny, less funny). But no, you have to instead drag me down as having no sense of humour.

[Davsto]

Not "pretty obvious" to everyone, but I guess I should be sorry for being autistic and others should be sorry for not being as good at reading situations as you!! You're right, it's all our faults!

Fuck off with your lack of sympathy and consideration.

[Davsto]

to be fair chamber you look for any opportunity to shit on the administration so

Wow, what a pathetically cheap shot.

I agree with everything chamber has said, and I'm someone who has consistently been very supportive and appreciative of the moderation.

Of course, you ignore that because you don't really have a proper argument or defence and just want to make another jab at chamber, and it doesn't fit your narrative that maybe his issue is exactly what he says it is rather than him just having another go at the moderation.
