Don’t be a piece of shit. Pieces of shit will be banned Final decision to be made by me and Mix Go cat
I think we also need to keep political talk in the political threads. I post a ton in them, but I prefer that not every thread on TMB become politicized. It’s August 2019, this politicizing of threads will get infinitely worse in 2020 unless we try to keep it in threads where people expect and want it.
you realize that mass shootings are a hugely political topic, right? and i’m assuming that’s what you’re referring too
only addition i'll make is that in the past when people complained about this it was in threads now deemed appropriately explicitly political, like mass shootings is that what you mean?
Absolutely not, any thread about mass shootings is a political thread. I’m talking about the constant creep of politics in threads where it doesn’t belong.
I know this isn’t really has nothing to do with anything but I guess it is relevant to the topic but it’s so funny how big of a fucking loser Buff_Ruffnek is.
There are some people that really don’t like being reminded of Dabo Swinney’s or Shelley Meyer’s politics.
He’s saying if it’s a thread about cartoons and someone says that the cartoon improperly depicts the plight of single males in Chicago then they should fuck off because it’ll cause a shitstorm
I think some people are taking the political talk way too personally, which I have no problem with, as long as that dispute stays in those threads. Sometimes it doesn’t. People who are mad at each other about politics carry it over to non political threads. I would like to see less of that.
It’s not a particular thread. It’s a trend over the last three years where I feel politics is creeping into too many non-political threads. I think Trump is a racist piece of shit who has to be defeated. I try to keep that talk in the threads where it belongs.
Honestly I think as we’ve aged people have lost interest in sports and politics has become their new rooting interest. It doesn’t seem like many genuinely care about truly improving society, but it’s more a us vs them thing.
I’m okay with standoffish and unfriendly men, and agree that we should not fear change, but sometimes I just like to talk about sports.
Anthem kneeling, White House trip cancellations (or fast food extravaganzas), whether college athletes get paid, trans athletes, the US Women’s National soccer team - I don’t know that it’s possible to avoid politics in sports regardless of whether or we should.
