badposting is a comm where you post badly


This is not a [email protected] alternative. This is not a [email protected] alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.

Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?


Rules:

  1. Do not post good posts.
    • Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
    • Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
  2. This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
  3. This rule intentionally left blank.
  4. If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.

Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

Two things:

A lot of "unlimited genocide" comments aren't obviously joking. Many are made in the same style as earnest "death to America" comments, there's a whole contingent of basically ultras who (being generous) are not interested in splitting hairs over when violence is justified, and of course you have the problem seen on every internet forum that makes edgy jokes: some people take them seriously, or at least say they do to be even more edgy.

Also, "it's a joke" is not a bulletproof defense. People have brought up sexual assault jokes -- those and many other types of jokes are "just jokes," but for various reasons we don't tolerate them. Even obvious joke comments like the picture you posted can still be tasteless, offensive, etc.

And people (like myself) have explained why they're not at all comparable.

You have a point mayocide would actually improve things so it isn't 100% a joke. Like, I'd be sad to go but it would be a fair price to pay to bring about the revolution worldwide.

The majority of every evil group getting hypothetically gui-better would be worth being called mean
