@trwnh the real takeaway in a snappy line that makes sense with all of these definitions is probably more along the lines of

"redefining a justified callout to be a screenshot dunk so you can be angry with the person delivering the callout is some whack-ass bullshit"

meta meta 

@trwnh yeah, there definitely are big differences between the three. but, alas, the waters were muddied when the person who should have seen the initial report about a problem, only saw the callout with receipts, and then called it a screenshot dunk (and thus deeply unfair and offensive)

there's an additional layer of irony in that the warning only existed as a "screenshot dunk" because of wanting to preserve evidence (e.g. present receipts), but is Bad For Doing So by decree of dunk

meta meta 

@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.

IT'S LIKE RA-AAA-AAAAIN ON YOUR WEDDING DAAAY youtube.com/watch?v=Jne9t8sHpU

@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 (dynamic.uoregon.edu/jjf/define), 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 now have a folder of internet articles i have printed out to show my doctor

i am aware that this makes me That Patient, however, i think citing Mayo Clinic and Annals of Vascular Surgery (Volume 24) soften the blow a bit

maybe with physical therapy my shoulder will simmer the fuck down and i can, as promised, do a lolita fashion border print of public domain paintings of Sappho and sling it up on spoonflower for people to make some extra sapphic skirts

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".

i suppose this is a subtoot 

"i'm not a tankie just for exposing the truth about anti-north korea propaganda with words of real north koreans"

hmm

hmmmmmm

hhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

@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

i mean, honestly, if you're going to go be creepy with a body pillow of a historical figure

at least upgrade more than charles the second of spain. like, you're worth it. treat yourself.

@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

@popstar@myasstodon.xyz oh lord.

well.

let's, uh. let's... prayer circle that it's just a really dedicated troll, everyone

@popstar@myasstodon.xyz yeah some of those terms have a distinct whiff of 4chan. reads a bit too much like someone was reading old fanwank writeups of Astral Snapes On A Plane or what have you and decided to use it to try and have fun trolling people with

@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
