@trwnh ironically, i think this has developed as a habit to discuss things without accusations of "but you're harassing someone by talking about them and what they did wrong specifically", and being more pointed often ends up creating a much larger conflagration of anger aiming to stifle discussion of the actual problem, especially when evidence of bad behavior is called out as... screenshot dunking.

@popstar@myasstodon.xyz i mean i literally just showed up here with starbucks five seconds ago, but i'm decidedly unimpressed when someone's response to seeing a racist attack is "well i am rubber you are glue, the REAL bigotry comes back to YOU because you're only doing this on account of hating women and enbies". because that is so inexplicable the only way i can make sense of it is that it's a clumsy attempt to DARVO (https://dynamic.uoregon.edu/jjf/defineDARVO.html), and generally that is not a sign of good, well, anything, really
also i haven't been going to this particular doctor for long but honestly i feel like if your chronic pain has been going on for 5+ years, it's fair game for you to Dr. WebMd on occasion
i suppose this is a subtoot
anyway i was peering around to see what the mod response was to, uh, All Of That, and it seems like the mod response was mostly
"hdu screenshot dunk one of my users i'm defederating"
i mean, i get "it's frustrating when i really needed a report of this so i could act but i'm only learning of it now". but also. sometimes a "screenshot dunk" is "i've preserved evidence of this bullshit and wish to make it clear what's up so others can be warned and avoid".
@InspectorCaracal i mean if someone's really in it for charles the second of spain, i'm sure that SOME strange gatcha game in Japan has turned him into some pretty anime fella and/or anime girl. i mean if you can get thomas jefferson the steampunk big titty anime girlfriend, it's probably not too much of a stretch
@00dani exactly! upgrade! UPGRADE!
i mean you also have a lot more options if you're dedicated to a man who's a bit shit. it's like these people have never seen a picture of young stalin and been offended at how handsome he dared to be
@bort @popstar@myasstodon.xyz a body pillow with charles the second on it, i would assume, unfortunately
@wigglytuffitout yeah not those specific ones, true, but they definitely did books at that level and tone, so like, all you really need is more wishbone doing more books, right
@InspectorCaracal i did actually google and they don't have Heart of Darkness or The Great Gatsby
and like.... how great would tiny puppy Gatsby be though
@InspectorCaracal honestly
yes
valid
same concept we just move it into the "literature you get in high school and college" area
....probably not the risque ones though. let's not adapt Lady Chatterly's Lover for that
@wigglytuffitout harp that's just Regular Wishbone lmao
@popstar@myasstodon.xyz wow, the things that drift by on the fedi timeline and make my eyebrows attempt to fuse with my hairline (not at you, mind, but at the, um, well, yes)
are people sure this isn't a troll, pulling the wildest shit they can think of for pure straw man? (this may be pure wishful thinking on my part, but a gal can dream)
you know what we really need a reboot of, though?
Wishbone
yes i know we'll all have to admit that the original dog actor has died and it's awful, but like... imagine Wishbone For Adults.
i don't mean dark and gritty.
i just mean that it's a dog in a costume giving you a summary of, like, The Great Gatsby and Heart of Darkness and such
