I'm suggesting he actually manages the topics he creates so that he doesn't let a bunch of people push their own agendas in them.

I have no control over what shitposters shitpost. Creating a topic doesn't give me mod powers

I have no control over what shitposters shitpost, and neither do you.

Idk, you could like, respond and counter their bullshit. If you wanted to be responsible.

Youre right. We cant afford this senile man as president! This is his problem.

you and hockeybub convinced me to vote for trump. It makes sense, we have seen him at his worst and we didnt die. We dont know how bad Biden can get.

thanks for opening my eyes @Antifar and @hockeybub89

Literally both of us constantly shit on Trump. That doesn't make Biden good. Apparently you're not allowed to criticize two Presidential candidates without getting accused from each end about being a sleeper agent for the other. There's some weird tribalistic gatekeeping that happens around elections. You are forced to support 1 of the 2 candidates or you're an inadvertent ally at best and a not so secret supporter at worst of the other guy. You have to make your choice if you want to place yourself on that side of the political spectrum.

I don't typically make political topics. TC on the other hand...

I'm not demanding "more content". I'm suggesting he actually manages the topics he creates so that he doesn't let a bunch of people push their own agendas in them.

but like, why. Whats he gonna do respond to every alt-right troll on the board? Thats so much effort wasted.

He has a very consistent style, he posts the OP and maybe a follow up or two, and other than that rarely responds in his topic.

I've tagged him with a few questions and been ignored. Its just what it is.

He manages what he can, and often without providing just his person opinion. Usually he just links a story or a clip.

like I apologize for the outburst towards you, tensions are high all around and I lost my cool. But this is blatant bullshit, youre not just asking for him to participate more, youre asking him to moderate his own topics, or engage clear trolls to appease others?

Instead of that why dont we as a board just literally not respond to the obvious trolls. The karlpilkings, cautions, hidden roars, alts made this very month. Just seems absurd to ask him to do more for this board, shit with darkman and most the other good users gone hes one of the few reasons I even come here anymore.

If anything we need more like him to post content and just step away, instead of multiple topics on the same subject from multiple users all focusing on how they each feel about the event. Idk, but what you did ITT was some bullshit that set me off, so again I apologize for that but I stand by what Ive said regarding them.

I don't think responsibility entails responding to every dipshit on Current Events

Sorry, gonna continue calling you out on your bullshit.

Maybe then we can avoid falling into 2016 again. Nobody here wants to repeat 2020 in four years, I imagine.

Maybe you can look into that crystal ball you invented and tell us all how Biden will fix the world.

Jk lol you're so arrogant

Like, if you are actively trying to guide conversation on a social network, you can't just not take responsibility for what the resultant conversation is.

Idk, maybe just don't post if you don't want to be responsible for what happens when you do.

---

I don't think that he really cares if you hold him "responsible" for that. Something tells me that he doesn't hold you in a particularly high regard

This isn't Twitter, antifar isn't Trump, and you're not some pioneer of proper political debate. In fact your thoughts on things are becoming unwanted.

This ain't a gaffe

Please don't say bad things about Biden or else we'll have to deal with his smooth brained supporters

I ain't a fan of Biden, but it's hilarious seeing Trump supporters try to insult others' intelligence. You realize your political opinions are a joke, right?

being responsible for replying to every shitposting bad faith right wing troll has been the most interesting bad take I've seen on this board for a while

Is his wife one of five sisters?

Divorce attorneys hate him: See how this average guy found the key to a happy, successful marriage with this One Weird Trick

Any reasonable human: Biden is a bad presidential candidate
Democrat shill: U said Biden bad u must leik Trump lmfao ignored

Great way to convince people the democratic party is devoid of thought or conscience, much like the Republicans.

Shut the fuck up. All of you. I'm getting so fucking infuriated with this stupid counterproductive garbage. Just... enough bullshit, baby steps. Otherwise you're threatening, not helping. I'm getting really sick of fucking seeing people who have the minds to help instead putting said minds to threatening. Just fucking knock it off. Or jump on the the trash pile if that's what you really want and make america great again again...

This is apparently a fight that needs to take place. Can't see it getting better if Biden actually wins the election.

He should do what he wants to do since people like you have been wrong about literally everything since the primaries started.

You thought Hillary would become president.

Except everyone has acknowledged the phenomenon, but simply believes he's not responsible for his own topics.

Good, at least i'm being earnest lol.

It's not even clear to me there was any alt right people posting itt at all when you initially complained about it

I literally just reread it and the most energy in the topic was already people complaining that it wasn't a gaffe and tc should leave Biden alone. I don't think any alt right people had even posted, the ones who imo are sort of between were just saying antifar was a leftist lol

---

shockthemonkey posted...

Absolutely everyone here is making fun of you for being pathetic

Idk, if I made a bunch of topics about IQ and I had a bunch of posters posting a bunch of bell curve race science shit, and I said nothing as the TC?

I'm probably responsible for facilitating that conversation.

If you make a topic, you should probably consider yourself responsible for what's inside it.

Like, this kinda shit is kinda why 2016 was such a shitfest with propaganda, because you had people on both sides of the aisle trying to push anti-clinton sentiment.

that's wholly unfair
if i make a topic about how i watched a movie with my girls and then we had ice cream they loved it and it was a good day and someone comes in and says "what movie" and i say "it was a my little pony movie" and then the topic is inundated with bronies talking their bullshit, i'm to take responsibility for this brony bullshit?

Creepy Joe

I don't think he was saying there were alt-right people in here that Tc was making love to. I think he was saying that he's serving the same overall purpose that alt-right people do by shitting Biden with a topic like this. COVxy probably doesn't like Biden as a candidate as much (well probably not equally as much) as Antifar dislikes him, but COVxy thinks that Biden is still miles ahead of Trump, and he thinks that Antifar probably feels the same way. So he's calling out Antifar for his current behavior.

That's just from a brief overview of this topic.

no one acknowledged what you claimed. the responsiblity stuff was tangential to your point, not a follow up

what the fuck is wrong with you people

Dammit Antifar if you'd only devoted all your time and energy to countering all the trolls then maybe COVxy would have seen fit to not take a steaming dump on your topic. This is all YOUR responsibility.

His quality topic providing an out of context clip of Biden about marrying into a large family.

Antifar posted...

It'd be funny if she wasn't, right? But she is.

Like fucking damn, what an intellectual contribution this topic was to our board! Too bad I fucked it all up by addressing an issue this board has.

Ruined the fun of the Biden memez.

---

If I were Antifar I would feel ashamed to be responsible for COVxy's posts tbh.
---

Shut the fuck up. You're teetering into Broseph territory with all the shit you've been posting lately in any topic that criticizes Biden or just makes a joke like this one.

COVxy gently cradling Joe Biden, that these vicious blows may fall on his body instead of Joe's.
It's going to be a long election for you pal.

1) I don't think that's all that he's claiming
2) if it were it's an incredibly weak objection

I seriously don't understand your motivations at all.

Here's me doing a you impression:

I never talk about a posters responsibilities to their posts, but you do. But you only apply it to topics, arbitrarily. I disagree. Since you think posting entails a responsibility, I think every time you make a post that doesn't somehow help Biden win reelection, you're abdicating a responsibility that you should feel by your own logic

---

"I don't post about politics so I have no obligation"

"By not posting more about politics, you're normalising the current political moment and supporting Trump's reelection."

---

"but that's 'more content' which I didn't ask of antifar!'

'actually you are asking him for more content, just within his own topics, I'm just saying you shouldn't post about other things, not that you should post more'
