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:
- 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
- This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
- This rule intentionally left blank.
- 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

Least favorite type of guy: the perpetual devil's advocate, the guy who seems to have the unstoppable urge to justify any bad thing that is criticized in his presence.

Ever see a Redditor mansplain about mansplaining? 
Know a guy who proudly stated how he loves to play the devils advocate just to test my knowledge or whatever. I asked him to not do that once, because it's just shitty and pointless.
The devil has so many fucking advocates and they often congregate on Reddit. 
Yup and these guys definitely exist in the wild, proudly.
I've spent 5 years studying a field, they always devils advocate me on my work if I make the mistake of talking about it. And typically tell me how my field works, which they know nothing about.
It's kind of amazing, the confidence I mean.
least favorite type of guy: dude who ignores when women speak & then just repeats their ideas like he came up with them.
Pretty much every corporate boardroom that has one or slightly more feeemales in it be like 
What do you mean misandry isn't real? They give me a little bowl of it before every meal at the Japanese restaurant near my house

The computer toucher types that got the worst possible understanding of Spock from Star Trek and LARPs as some kind of emotionless (but also contemptful of emotions) condescending passive-aggressive contrarian asshole. With fake politeness, these types infest 
(and sometimes here) with "who hurt you?" style put-downs, trying to silence people that care too much about things or maybe criticize their treats. They also commonly like to say dehumanizing shit like all social interactions are transactional, that people they don't like are "NPCs," that "human nature" means everyone is (and ought) to be a sadistic murderfucker that only cares about breeding and/or wealth accumulation, and so on.
c/goodposting must be made for this.
Also probably english lit guy. If there's a university guy who is smug and classist about it, him.
Having English professors look down their noses at me and tell me that "genre fiction" was universally bad and childish and only gritty grimy contemporary stories that try so hard to be nonformulaic that it becomes the formula, where nothing happens in the story but unlikable characters smoking, drinking, cussing, having sex and/or receiving/enjoying SV, and maybe doing self-harm until it all (predictably) ends in a pretentiously unsatisfying way to "artfully" make the reader feel like they wasted their time, were worthy of the snobs' approval.
90% shitpost 10% serious
Contemporary fiction is for authors who aren't creative enough to do worldbuilding
What a compelling argument these professors have!! 
contrarianism
No lie though that describes some of my absolute favourite queer lit. I like the subversions of commonly accepted narrative structures. Orange Book.
I haven't read that particular one and know nothing about it so I can't really comment upon it. My issue is primarily the dogma of "all genre fiction is bad but 'contemporary' totally isn't its own genre" so professors could push their particularly favorite slop on all students and try to indoctrinate them into One True Fiction obedience.
Common western "education" L tbh, not surprised in the least. Hate to see it though.
Take it from a westerner who works in education. Shit sucks.
I know it does!! Thank you for saying!! Death to amerikkka!!

Hmmmm... actually kinda based, potentially. You can be One Of The Good Ones

Chuds who chud, hate them, simple as.
guy who's both incorrect and confident.
omfg I have a coworker who is just like this and he is a turbochud who claims to be apolitical.
Every now and then I will pull up something to completely factually correct him and I can just see the look of cognitive dissonance at being proven wrong in front of an audience and the frustration flowing from it and then he just moves on and forgets it ever happened, continuing to condescend to me and act like the smartest person in the room on every SINGLE topic despite the fact I have repeatedly proven him wrong just on memory, then I have to wait till a break so I can get my phone pull up a source and be like NO MOTHERFUCKER YOU ARE AN IDIOT STOP ACTING SMUG.
My guy is my brother. He acts like I'm some kind of a mark for not believing in ghosts.
Ah same, my guy is in tech and is related to me. He never really listens to what I say and starts to impose his understandings of what I think and am like on me often before I can even finish what I was trying to say.
Likes to throw out things like "dunning-kruger", but when I reply with something like "doesn't actually exist" just completely dismisses me and trucks on with those prefixed ideas.
He also loves to state how he is a feminist and on the side of equality. Thinks other men are misogynist, but treats the women in his life in a very condesending way. Exhausting to try and talk to.
This but unironically
my least favourite guy is every man who comments on women's posts on instagram. that app is borderline unusuable because every post from a woman is just filled with all sorts of misogyny
I also hate the "Christian" assholes on tiktok who brigade queer livestreams just to harass people.
That’s such a specific thing and it always happens no matter what. I have a transfemme friend who livestreams on TikTok and I can’t get over how smug the people commenting “hello sir” are. Like they really think it’s clever or original or something.
There's a special kind of chud that drops Bible verses out of nowhere, especially in attempts to make some sinner feel uncomfortable. Sadistic creeps.

its real and I'm the misandrist 
my least favorite guy is pretty much all of them
The guy I posted about in the reply below is also a the kind of guy that constantly deflects criticism of his bigoted ideas by claiming to have "lots of queer/trans/black friends" etc.
My least favorite type of guy is someone who alludes to having a vast pool of knowledge on a topic but chooses not to demonstrate it because you are not worth the effort. But they would still like you to know how bemusedt by your ignorance on this topic they are. On account of their vast, vast pool of knowledge.
the level of ignorance being demonstrated towards how the economy/AI/governing actually works is truly entertaining
My second least favorite type of guy is murderers.
The admins skipped this one when I said we should import all the ShitRedditSays emotes.
be the change you want to see in the world.
I saw Miss Andry in the break room and she had a ring on talking about how she's going to be Mrs. Andry now
my least favourite guy is the one who chose to abandon all truth & reason instead of so much as entertaining the possibility that his personal experiences of this world may not be gospel.
i was gonna use this opportunity to just kinda unload all the vile fabrications & twists of logic he's grown so fond of (while ofc maintaining he's a just & reasonable centrist because i guess a quick web search is already more effort than he's willing to put in) but honestly his pathetic ass has eaten up enough of my mental bandwidth as it is.
my brother's dead to me. I just gotta get past the mourning stage.
I'll have you know that I've been participating in misandry since Trump was president. However, it's okay that I hate men and constantly talk shit about them because I unfortunately am a male.
Also, my least favorite kind of guy is old Americans, fucking boomers and Gen X dudes are the worst patriarchs imaginable.
Guys that drive lifted diesel pickup trucks, especially if they're "rolling coal," ie intentionally making the engine run worse so it spews black smoke. In my experience there's a lot of overlap with gym bros and dudes with gross beards that chew tobacco and have multiple DUIs.
Whoops, was sleepy and didn't read the least part. That was awkward.
