(cough cough, the two most commonly used slurs on here are the f- and r- slurs, both of which can be used to apply to me)


i don't think anyone who calls you a gay rtard actually cares if you're gay or rtarded, to them it's like calling you dumb because they think you did something dumb

you wouldn't be offended if they just called you dumb would you

please don't say you would


no ofc not!! but those slurs being used as insults is like,,,, like if someone used you, personally, as an insult? like if people who werent just doing it to bust your chops started using your name synonymously with some of those insults??? or if someone took a social group youre part of (women????) and used it as if it meant the same thing as "stupid"
like theres a reason nobodys like "wow thats so straight" when they mean its stupid, and nobodys like "did you seriously just do that? thats f*cking neurotypical youre so neurotypical" when they wanna insult someone
but "wow thats so gay" usually means "wow thats so dumb" and "youre such a r*tard" means "youre such a stupid person" and things like that do affect people

keeping this site exclusive to thick-skinned people is not doing anything to help keep it alive


neither is banning people for using largely harmless language but pick and choose

upsetting people isn't a crime


ofc its not a crime but it hurts people and makes them feel unwelcome all the same??? and i said knowingly mistreating another person is whats wrong, not simply making them upset
like the bottom line here is if you have new users coming in and facing that kind of mistreatment AND seeing constant use of offensive language about A Group They Are Literally Part Of (cough cough, the two most commonly used slurs on here are the f- and r- slurs, both of which can be used to apply to me) theyre not gonna be very motivated to stay
personally im a bit too detached for things to emotionally get me unless its in direct personal confrontation?? but i know a lot of people who for a number of reasons, including mental illness (that theyre getting help for thank you very much), arent like that and theyd love this site if they could feel welcome here

bulla says

maybe you should develop your emotional resistance to words online rather than expect every person to bend over to your arbitrary standards of social justice


or perhaps you should realize that when someone knowingly mistreats another person and that person gets upset it is the fault of the perpetrator for doing it and not the fault of the other person for getting upset

like honestly if you wanna be edgy theres multiple websites full of people who love that where people who are made intensely uncomfortable by it either dont go or know how to avoid it
if edgelords like that are gonna stay and stay backed by those in power nobody else is going to stay. itll just attract more of the same or nobody at all
from what i see of this site?? its all the same people, just a bunch of people who have all known each other for years and keep making new accounts to fill the void. everyone else leaves. like ive been here since november, meaning for about half a year, and still nobody after me has stayed. its kinda, sad tbh

Christopherzilla you are the most enigmatic person on this site.

I've known of your existence for years and still can't figure out your motives or your alignments. Do you dwell in the dark or shine a light of justice? Sometimes I think you may be a character similar to Chris-chan with your obsession to Nintendo and other times you just come off as a normal dude.

You don't create alternate accounts that're named after 4 letter nouns with anime pictures and are still more unknown than those fake strangers. Sometimes I don't even know what you're doing on this site still but that only adds to the mystery. You're like the Great Deku Tree if it player online mafia; no one will know of the knowledge you have let alone that you're a tree.

They say online no one knows you're a dog but I fear instead of a dog you might actually be a large prehistoric reptile, because what do I know of you. Sandbox was also the most alive during this old dinosaurs time..

If it's between having a dead site and playing with 4chan users I'd rather have a dead site. I hear those people use naughty words, enjoy furry art, and c*m on anime figurines. Disgusting.

Verumbox when


when either hell or 4chan freezes over; might as well watch both for signs since there appears to be very little difference
