MU Peeves Thread
-
I feel like the peeves thread on a Mu* forum is probably not the best forum for detailed debates over ‘Kink: Good or Bad?’ It should probably be, for one thing, a discussion people are consenting to join and I’m mildly requesting that it …go somewhere else.
as previously stated, good day.
-
Yeah, like at this point can it just be split off to somewhere else? Or stopped?

@Kestrel I’ve been playing since like…1992, minus my recent time out since TR…and your minority/majority experience is reversed from mine. I’m one person, so I’m not discounting your experiences but I’m going to go out on a limb and think that my playlist isn’t the same as your playlist at the very least.
Slut shaming is a huge issue online and RL. People oversexualixing small things is a huge issue rn RL which is why I stated I give it a serious side eye in these discussions.
I’m going to be honest, considering the current way things are going RL, I personally am not going to give in to some perceived prude persecution complex.
Once is a coincidence, twice is a pattern. Fuck nuance, if something happens more than once that you don’t like and you don’t find another place to play, that’s on you.
It’s a solution I hate, but it’s legit been the only 100% working solution going as far back as I can remember. We should always work to improve any community, but there will always be disagreements over what is and isn’t acceptable behavior.
Unacceptable sexual situations has been in public discourse by sociologists since the early 1990’s due to the LambdaMoo incident and hasn’t really been considered ‘solved’ yet. . (See this account and this article)

Official voice time.
This is absolutely not the place for this kind of intense discussion. IF it must continue, I’ll happily move the posts to somewhere else. I’d prefer that it stop altogether, though.
-
@farfalla Seems fair, I’m done, it just took me a long time to figure out my reply and format it or I wouldn’t have made it.

This post is deleted! -
@Pavel Sorry, I composed that post before I saw your official voice. Should I delete it?
-
@GF If you don’t mind. Just so that it doesn’t continue the conversation here.
-
@Pavel No problem. I wouldn’t have asked if I wasn’t at least concerned that it was too far afield for this thread.
-
Today my peeve is burnout. Hella burnout, and being forced to confront the fact of burnout.
Bleaurgh.
-
Today my peeve is: People who I don’t know, and have never interacted with before, paging me out of the blue with single word greetings.
Bonus creep points if your character got approved less than 15 minutes go.
Even more creep points if you’re doing that from a male roster character who tops many (most? all?) top 10 strongest marvel heroes lists.
-
@Sammich I’m honestly about at the point where if someone I can’t identify even says ‘hi’ to me I’m all ‘back the fuck up and never speak to me again’ which I’m sure is very healthy.

Whoa, whoa, let’s not throw needless shade at Hawkeye
-
@Snackness I was honestly half-expecting to find someone here having replied to you saying ‘hi’ in their post and only that.
-
@Sammich I know everyone in this hobby is a giant bundle of nervous tics and anxiety issues, myself definitely included, but god I hate it when someone just says “Hi” to me. When my nerves are especially frayed, that comes off like they’re saying, “Hey you, come up with something for the two of us to talk about because I want to be entertained, not do the work of contributing to an actual conversation.”
-
@GF Exactly this. Don’t put the onus on me. You messaged me for a reason and my psychic pills haven’t kicked in yet, so out with it.
-
@GF I’m usually braced for some creeper shit.
-
@Snackness Do they actually say anything to you other than answering direct questions you ask them?
-
@GF Yes? That’s why I don’t like it.
-
@Snackness Interesting. My experience with guys who just page “Hi” is that they will only answer questions and wait to be asked more.
