The purity spiral isn’t so much an argument as it is a description or rather identifying word for a small but vocal subset of users yourself included sadly that simply refuse to believe in the concept of mentalceldom even though it’s clear that famouscels Elliot Rodger and Martin Bryant were both clearly this type of incel.
The oh so “genius” argument put forward against the reality of the mentalcel condition is usually we will have someone from the purity spiral contingent saying something along the lines of: “Hahaha guys all Chad has to do is claim to be a mentalcel and instantly he’ll be accepted to the site! Peak clown world am I right?” followed by various laugh emoji’s apparently to not only highlight the purity spiralers sense of humor, wit and intelligence but to also effortlessly dunk (or so it seems) on his staff member nemesis (usually me) but his argument is easily rendered as while not necessarily being pure trash…certainly not at all amazing or profound as it at first may sound to fellow purity spiraler ears.
Now why is that?
Here is why…
Purity spiraler asshole troll: hahaha pretend to be a mentalcel get accepted to the board!
Regular asshole troll: hahaha pretend to be an incel get accepted to the board!
So as you can see the conclusion is…?
Herpa derp.
As I mentioned before, it's not purity spiraling when you set clear and defined boundaries for a community. Right now, you've widened the boundaries to include "mentalcels." That's all well and good, if those are your defined boundaries for the community, but disagreements about those community boundaries doesn't mean that there's purity spiraling occurring. Anyone who disagrees about who is and who isn't an incel isn't a "purity spiraler,"
ESPECIALLY when it's not clearly defined within the community. That seems like some negative label you attach to someone to discredit their position or arguments, like "agecuck" or "moralfag."
2. Are you seriously saying mods should allow ourselves to be shit on and viciously name called with impunity?
That we shouldn’t have the same recourse any other viciously insulted user would have?
I'm seriously saying that: A) should have thicker skin, especially as an admin, and B) calling someone a name (faggot, retard, cumskin, nigger etc.) is not sufficient grounds for punishing them. I mean, WTF. That's being a sensitive fucking snowflake. Punishment should occur if they're legit harassing people, as in, constantly going after them thread after thread and insulting them.
"Mods are cucks." "Mods are shitheads." "Mods suck dick." If these are punishable offences, then we're truly lost.
I've never reported someone for insulting me and the very idea of that is downright feminine in a free speech board like this. Punishing these 4-5 people for "abusing staff" and "spreading misinformation" is petty and an abuse of power. It's frankly concerning how you and/or others brought down the hammer this hard on something like that.
Speaking of misinformation, what is that about? The screenshot of Rhaast's post that got deleted? That's not misinformation. More than one person caught the screenshot.
Please tell me you’re not a BLM/Antifa “defund the police!” type as well based_meme because if you really think it’s “fucking disgraceful” for mods to defend ourselves from attacks well just saying this line of logic is where that thinking will take you.
Are you serious? You just compared me to those leftist communist faggots? I'm neutral and apolitical, btw. I don't care about politics.
What's disgraceful what I said previously just above (banning for petty reasons).
Im not sure why Gymlet keeps saying I’m mad he left the Discord server. I barely talked to him. Regardless, the server mutiny happened a month ago and Bloc has existed for over 4 years. We were in the same discord for a long time and I saw what was going on - joking or not. My point about his hypocrisy stands. He’s totally okay with many things on discord that we ban here “, but comes here with a very haughty attitude about how we have fallen from grace and that none of us are incels. It’s a very tiring double standard.
I don't use discord, but I know how it works. If you can retrieve knajjd's messages and screenshot them for all of us to see in a stickied thread, then you shouldn't have a problem finding at least one of the several times you say you've seen him post gay roleplay.
Right now, it's still just your word against his, and you've taken away his voice.
