Just played my first four-player game of the boardgame #Root, big takeaway is that imperialist forces are no match for a guy walking around drinking tea.

I've seen this "kill fandom cops" image passed around, and I think it's actually a perfect case-study of why "furry discourse" keeps happening.
Cuz thing is, the person behind it doesn't actually agree with the message. She said herself that it doesn't apply to cub, which means she does actually think certain fetish material should be unacceptable and "policed", she just wants "the line" to be drawn somewhere else.
So why did she make this image? Because it's provocative, and provocative stuff gets more clicks than nuanced analysis. Social media algorithms encourage people to tout extreme opinions, even ones they may not necessarily hold, because that's what gets them views.
It encourages people's worst impulses, to view everything in black-and-white and resort to gotchas, roasts and harassment over genuine discussion.
It's the same thing we see everywhere else on social media, and something we should work to avoid so it doesn't become the case here too.
@mynameistillian Look, I can tolerate different viewpoints and opinions, but this is where I draw the line. I can't believe you'd post such an evil, disgusting, morally repulsive take and poison the entire federated internet with it.
Consider yourself blocked and reported. I'll be writing a callout post and a TwitLonger to warn others of your crimes. Goodday.
(/j in case it wasn't obvious)
@jackemled I'll talk to the council and see if that can be arranged
@mynameistillian and even when it comes to deadlier drugs, there is no good reason to criminalize users. Addiction and drug misuse is a health issue and should be treated as such, much like alcoholism is.
Weed paranoia is so clearly politically motivated.
@mynameistillian hella based lol.
It is really inconsisten though, and often makes really bad choices.
For example, saving one child and letting every human being on the planet, including millions of children, die.
Or saving "ten thousand hitlers" because it would maximize human suffering.
@senil888 @mynameistillian I think it may really just be an issue of STEM people in general overestimating their abilities in non-STEM fields. I've seen way more techies and physicists telling me how we should run the economy than I've seen economists and sociologists telling me how to code.
