How utterly bothersome.

Half the fun of hanging around Tumblr is messing with the snowflakes.

I don't think I will ever truly understand why some people enjoy trolling. I mean, literally getting joy from making other people angry or sad.

I guess its more or less just because I can. I can't really think up a better reason.

The problem lies in that mentality, Niam, unfortunately.  "Because I can" eventually morphs into "I shouldn't have to face consequences from my actions because I'm free to do as I please like everyone else" and then you wind up with shitfucks like /r/theredpill, among others.
There is light and darkness in the world, to be sure.  However, there's no harm to be had in walking in the shade or shadows.

Sometimes it's for the reactions. Sometimes it's funny to watch a regular poster over there at RR blow a gasket. Other times is because you get the feeling that certain people just need it.

I gotta admit, I never thought I'd see reddit of all places described as a "safe space". What's next, making 4chan a "safe space for discourse"?
It's on its way there already.
And this is a bad thing... how? Like what, do you like it better when places like 4chan are full of doxxing and leaked nudes, or when reddit has subbreddits like /r/deadniggers?

I never gave an opinion on it. I just voiced my opinion that it was amusing. It's like waking up one day to hear that Fox News got a new CEO who's going to make the news organization more liberal-minded.

I would actually believe there's a god if that happened.

Or have we just accidentally tinkled on more evidence of a patriarchal culture?

While studying abroad in Kenya, I routinely took long bus trips during which the side of the road was used as rest stops. I routinely witnessed both men and women pee on the side of the road.

Yes, the women wore dresses and sarongs that concealed their lower regions, and, no, I am not arguing that Kenya represents the pinnacle of gender equality.

Nevertheless, women squatting to pee in public can be a cultural norm. Just not for American women.

Thus, here in the US, not only do men have the physiological luxury of holding it longer, they also have the patriarchal privilege of releasing it sooner.

Today I learned not peeing in public is part of the racist Patriarchy.

Or it could be because a toilet allows for easy disposal of fecal matter and urine.

Peeing and privilege, huh?  I don't think I'm the only one reminded of this:

I have a feeling that Reddit, like 4chan, won't take any attempt to police the site very well. At most it will cause people to move to another site, like what happened with 4chan.

What exactly do they mean when the say "safe space"? Because due to people like those discussed in this thread, "safe space" has become associated with echo-chambers and hugboxes.
History is full of maniacs, my friend, men and women of intelect, highly perceptive individuals, who's brilliant minds know neither restraint nor taboo. Such notions are the devils we must slay for the edification of pony-kind. Even if said edification means violating the rules of decency, society, and rightousness itself.

Admittedly, that was what I immediately thought of when I heard "safe space".

That's what I think of when I hear the word 'safe space' too, I'll admit. A place where dissent is prohibited, and you can be surrounded only by people who wholly support whatever opinion you may have, whether it be right or wrong.

Or it could just be a place where trolls aren't allowed to spam rape jokes and insult people based on their race or sexuality and so on.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

When "tucute" crosses the line from laughable to loathsome.
