Well, it sounds like it would be a worthwhile movie tbh. Which is probably never something anyone should actually want said about their life because it usually means something quite shitty happened.
'
I figured nothing would happen since she's a minor. Hopefully at least the police are aware she's a repeat offender and keep that in mind.
'
The amount of injustice in the world is exhausting sometimes.
'
I actually mentioned you by name to cycy (and a couple other people, hopefully you don't mind) when we were having our back and forth. Not any details about your situation since I didn't know a lot, and details weren't relevant, but just because I knew you'd had a crappy year and, based on your reaction, the porn was definitely something you were serious about.
'
Seeing your comments now I know that even I didn't realize just how much was at stake, and if I didn't then the discord people definitely did not.

Out of the blue and into the black?

@jasonmon that was a hell of a fucking rollercoaster ride.
'
First off kudos to you for your relief efforts, that's really an amazing thing you did.
'
I have to ask because I can't remember, did anything actually happen to the girl? I mean, was she held accountable in any way shape or form? I'm asking this less from a revenge perspective and more from a "is she still a risk to other people."
'
Also have you been approached about making this a movie, or are you just thinking hypothetically?

Well now the debate is do I take the time to go back and edit every post I've made about him calling them a her. O.o the neurotic in me is sorely tempted, but they have to battle it out against the lazy person in me. Really it's anyone's game.
'
I hope it hasn't discouraged you too much from talking about the things you were thinking about talking about before. Maybe you changed your mind either way, but hopefuly this hasn't been too discouraging.
'
Haha I did watch some of it. Sadly I got distracted by some rather discouraging announcements regarding a child rapist on the news and forgot

I think Mrs collector is possibly still around, also? Mrdad may or may not be. Idk if johnnyjohnny left or not. He was talking about it. :/
'
Still, it is a strong user base that remains for now
'
I imagine they have been posting for years, the thing that bothers me is a) the suggestion that the bots are taking over formerly active accounts. So, for example, if I take a hiatus, I could come back and find out my account has been used to post porn and rape jokes. Or anything at all. Outside of that b) i just dislike the uptick, horrendously outdated/inappropriate stuff, and the titles.
'
Idk if they do regret it. I think the godaddy price for the website may have gone up since the influx of bots? But idk for sure. Don't really want to speculate. They may be here to stay, and that'll just be something we have to deal with I guess
'

As near as I can tell Timebender25 wanted his discord to become an extension of that-- a refuge away from the refuge in case it all goes wrong. And they're working toward getting it back on track.
'
Good grief, I've said an awful lot about a subject I said I wouldn't say much more about. I guess that's typical for me, though.
'
Hopefully this has been a more positive discussion than we have seen previously, or at the very least isn't disturbing the community at large :/

@aviva I've seen a few people who seem to have similar viewpoints. Jasonmon is already here, ofc. guest_ has expressed very strong exasperation about the behaviour entirely. There's others whose names I can't recall.
'
I was more upset about the porn behaviour than the treatment from Zeus either way. As I said to cycy, it was an attack launched against people who are not at fault, that put them at risk in more ways than one, and tried to collapse what remained of what was and still can be a good community.
'
There's a lot of people who have been to hell and back this year. Or even in the years prior to this. Most have been through things I can't even begin to pretend I can understand. Some are still going through them right now. I haven't been here long, but I don't need to be here long to know this place acts as a refuge for a lot of them. And they deserved better than what just happened. So if anyone needs to understand my reaction to that incident, it's here, on digital paper.

The subtitle behind the subtitle is NOT what they're saying. It is the headline for the "case/episode/drama" whatever you want to call it.
'
It says:
"you're a violent cheat.
I hope your baby's mine."
'
What the other captions say is EXACTLY what's going on.
'
The audience members that were just laughing then proceed to clap like they hadn't been partaking in the behaviour to begin with

I have not, actually even heard of it

That said, they do seem to be making an effort to clean up, and I'm glad you at least are taking this more or less in stride @jasonmon . A lot of people are seeming more content to complain or leave, and I can't fault them for that, it just seems nice to have people be part of the solution.
'
As for Cycy's gender, I honestly have only ever seen people refer to them as a girl (the first time several months ago), and cycy never corrected them, so I went off that haha. It's the only reason I used a non-neutral verb for them at all, since I've never had any idea which one they were. I also always read their name as Cee-Cee, but I guess "Sigh-sigh" is also a possibility. Now I'm getting off track a bit, though

I don't really even know if I should talk about anything at this point, but I'm kind of on the fence with the discord tbh. And this isn't me telling people not to go there, just my experience.
'
I only went to the discord to read the previous chat and only spoke when I was summoned/addressed directly by cycy, and hyperion, at which point someone else entirely accused me of being there to cause drama. Which I found a bit ironic. I also saw at least one still active funsub user talking about how all the drama caused by the actions of people posting destructive content was great, and they were grabbing popcorn. The whole thing just was very tiring. I haven't been back since.

I debated posting that one instead

He was always my favourite host

I think this community is still worthwhile, and can still be salvaged. We all just need a break from the drama and hostility and negativity. Whether that be from it dying down naturally, or doing as grim did and taking a full break from the site for a few days or weeks.
'
There's been harms, there's been fouls, but hopefully we can all move on in the near future.

I don't think funsub is complete garbage now, and I don't completely hate the bots-- just when they post irrelevant content and the ridiculous titles.
'
But as I said, I got very enraged when a few people launched that pornographic attack against funsub. Cycy was one of the first people I called out and thought that maybe I'd been attacking her personally. Wasn't the case-- I would and have called out everyone I've found to be involved, either for the good or the ill. And she and I had a decently long conversation, and Hyperion and I talked some as well.

I don't really want to keep getting into this. Not at you @aviva , just been hashed out a dozen times already, and everyone's tired, so I'm going to try to keep this summarized as short as possible

Cycy's opinions are there. I don't think Zeus owed us as much as she does. At the end of the day funsub is a business he owns, and, like any business, if he chooses to sell, he's allowed. We're not monetary shareholders in this business. Just "customers." If the website goes to hell we won't stay, and the website will die. And this is true whether Zeus owns it or not. Heads up is nice, but not something we are OWED. I don't think he deserved the backlash and personal attacks he received, and it's hardly any wonder to me that he stopped replying. We also literally have no idea what's going on on his end. A LOT of people have had very horrific times this year

It's the Spirit of the Forest, a God from the movie "Princess Mononoke," which is also what the quote is from
https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/powerlisting/images/f/f2/Forest_Spirit_%28Princess_Mononoke%29_water_walk.gif/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/340?cb=20180624072342

Ehh. We just have slightly different viewpoints on how much Zeus "owed" the community during recent events, and we're annoyed over different things as a result (cycy is annoyed/frustrated/hurt over how the entire process has been treated as a whole, I'm more agitated about one or two very specific parts of it)

Not directed at anyone in particular, my point wasn't meant to be "thank god they kindly cleared this up, so sick of all them white skulls being categorized as identical to those LESSER races," rather just that there have been some subtle observed differences in the skeletal structures of people from various parts of the world, as with people of different gender and age.
'
It's not a race thing, it's a neuroticism thing on my part, because my brain likes to go "well, technically," to just about everything it sees.
