Happy (?) April Fools

[Not_Mafia]

someone who apparently only likes very simple humour that has no chance of ever ruffling feathers

(AKA, someone who isn't funny)

[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.

someone doesnt have a sense of humour holy shit

Someone doesn't have a sense of empathy holy shit

[Davsto]

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

[Majiffy]

I wanna see what Reck wrote can I get a link up in here?

[Vijarada]

it's in site ideas.

[Vijarada]

i can't believe there's now real drama about how seriously to take fake drama.

[hiplop]

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

isnt it gr8

[Shadoweh]

Reck's posts were meant to be satire based on his own previous patterns of making huge mod rants. Maybe the joke was too meta?

[Accountant]

its really ungood that people are brushing aside genuine concerns and bad experiences raised by firebringer and chevre under the pretext of them having no sense of humor as though this invalidates their feelings

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.

When the bans fall down in the Mafiascum town,
People are pissed for the evening.
I jump into the scene and I throw in all my memes,
My heart beatin' time with my breathin'.
Postin' novicated, lolin' to my soul,
There's people out there turnin' ragequits into gold.

yea, that was pretty hilarious.

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

[Accountant]

It's generally problematic to mock or deride people for having different ways of viewing humor from you

[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?

I enjoyed reading the drama. However, I will never say that someone is unreasonable for not enjoying it. That is because I know people have different senses of humor than me. Perhaps you are simply more intolerant of such differences between human beings.

[hiplop]

yours was the only one that talked about THE MERITS OF IT AS A JOKE

idgaf about anything else, no problem with you man

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.

hey accountant this is what someone mocking and being intolerant to other comedy styles looks like

[Psyche]

what if instead of escalating this further, we didn't

That's impossible humor is completely objective what happened to you Accountant when did you become such a grey line kind of person

You have a warped definition of mockery and intolerance

When I accused you of mockery, I meant that you were saying that Davsto is unfunny, doesn't have a sense of humor, etc because of his criticism of the joke. When I said you were intolerant, I meant that you dismissed him under someone who has no sense of humor and is just easily offended.

It's clear that this is a difference from the quoted post.

Black and white is for morality, there is a certain level of niceness in having variety of personal preferences as long as everyone does the right thing
