    Yes, but given how long it took me to put up the last one I'm really hoping that there's a way to make it easier.
    *Puts right hand on forehead, shakes head.*

    Come on guys. Let's make it to the end of the day at least.

    It is thematically appropriate to discuss the treatment of transsexuals in our society. But QQ would rather we not generalise that debate to encompass modern factional politics more generally, and I heartily encourage everyone to follow that requirement.

    Flexile Dark is centered and only uses a tiny part of the screen though, which sucks. I'm using dark responsive (green), and it works fairly well.

    The other fics I read regularly - and the one I write - are their own blog sites. I don't understand why one wouldn't move there, rather than deal with the content restrictions of a discussion forum.

    Your posts were fine... it's just modern politic discussions is way too [insert word of choice regard division and angry poster sounds], that we just ruled it better to not have that sort of discussions. If you do see something that you think might be political... just report it, don't engage it.

    I sympathise with you Mr. Zoat.

    Respect to the mods and how they keep things tidy in a forum, but their presence and eyes on your thread really is a bad time in the end. From disruptions to scheduled story posts to *sob* a thread locked forever and a broken dream of a story you've been writing for a long time.

    Heck, they locked and never unlocked my thread because of how violent and gorey it was.

    To be fair the last few parts did step on some rules, but anyways.

    Hope the threads here last ten times longer than they did in SB and SV.

    Flexile Dark is better, thank you!

    On the topic of gender-flipping for powers for me it 100% depends on whether I become fem!Me or I get an entirely different female body, I'd be particularly uncomfortable in Mr.Hamill's position.

    Mr Hamill actually prefers that it's not a fem version of him, because it means that he can think of it as not being anything to do with him.

    Blackend-Blue is pretty good on my phone, for what it's worth. Most of my fanfic reading is mobile, after all. The real test will be the invisible new god speak, though.

    I have hope for this forum.

    Maybe if I get infracted for crimethink here it'll be for a thoughtcrime I actually committed instead of just stating a fucking logic gate in proximity to someone else's crimethink.

    Can we go back to the world line where Orwell is fiction? Please? This timeline is fucked, someone send a message to the microwave and move us back to one that makes sense.

    Which is, of course, the point. The original comic was an anvilicious morality tale about sexism. "Turn a catcalling construction worker into an impossibly buxom woman and see how HE likes it!" Not exactly subtle.

    it took me FIVE MINUTES on my registration to SV to realise "I Identify as an Attack Helicopter" was not allowed. I don't think anything else in your post was Infraction worthy. it would have pissed people of, (did me tbh but im still here) cause derails sure but suspension? don't really think so.

    and a Poison Pill? Seriously? thought you were classier than that, Sir.

    as to the posts, I look forward to see where they go. as always, Since SB

    Anyone who is offended by the attack helicopter idea, but doesn't object to the Flying Spaghetti Monster, is a blatant hypocrite.

    QQ's mods are the best out of the three forums.

    There's something to be said for the site not being too big, and a more laid-back atmosphere.

    And for the majority of their stuff being porn so far all over the place as far as kinks and preferences go, that it pretty much requires an open mind.

    The specific thing that got Mr Zoat in trouble was him using the attack helicopter meme, which is basically saying that a person identifying with a specific gender is no more valid than them identifying as the proverbial helicopter.

    I hope you can see why trans people find that meme insulting.

    Dude, there are already lemons. However now that we're here, Mr Zoat might link to that thread in his signature. In Praise of Eros.

    I originally wanted to link to the story about a man who gets terminally injured and has his brain moved to a helicopter. It was particular relevant as he ends up deciding to be classified as an AI rather than a cyborg in a show of solidarity with oppressed synthetics.
    I'm not completely sure what you mean by that, but if that's about my last post then all I can say is that I am pretty angry with SV right now, and that influenced my decision. A transhuman is someone who goes beyond the norms of human existence. It isn't someone doing something to trivial as changing their sex, or at the very least isn't merely that.
    Actually, that wasn't what got me in trouble.

    Curses, looks like I won't be posting on the WTR thread on SV with my new SV Avatar and title once my thread ban is lifted. Shame, that.

    I've seen many a dysphoric friend get their feelings out on their issues with their... condition, only to get the conversation shut down with "hurr durr Attack Helicopter! get dunked on!" to the extent that they get jumpy at images of the apache.

    the worst his Noodly Appendages does is mock the "theirs only one faith all others can die" mentality

    Poison pill? I'm missing something here.

    But seriously, I don't see where anyone's having any favors done in the whole SV kerfuffle. Then again, I learned the ways of the internet back in the bad old days of 4chan and vanilla WoW, where nobody really gave a shit if you were offended by what they said. I have a hard time remembering that people can be actually hurt by words posted on the forum. Angered, sure. Irate, or sad, or disappointed, fine. But I can't grok people feeling injured by someone else's statements, such that they need Big Brother to protect them from the scary wrongthink. I have a serious problem when people start getting in trouble for a logic gate statement; if your position is offended by the presence of a basic logical statement like "X=X, which does not equal Y", you have bigger problems than me pointing out that X does not equal Y because you believe really hard.

    EXACTLY. With all porn (except illegal IRL stuff, but digital is always okay) bring kosher, it cuts out the haters. There are obviously dislikes, but the answer is to avoid threads/fetishes that don't pander to you, not report things or shit things up.

    Just don't pull IRL politics, don't be an excessive asshole (a certain amount of dickishness is allowed. For everything else there's the rants section), and don't sockpuppet. And that's most everything you need to know about rulebreaking.

    I still love this story, and have been following it since before you hand to leave SB, even if I have to take occasional brakes from reading it when the cliff hangers get to be too much.



    on genderbending for super powers: to me the level the permanency is interconnected to the power levels gained. it would take something on the level of a super saiyan, The Gamer, or Kyptonian before permanent becomes acceptable.
    that said being able to change at will would still be preferable.
