Logical conclusion: shut down BCT, let the racists rant because freedoms.What did I miss? :lol:
Perfect storm of "wait… was DY talking about me!?!," new community posters becoming more active, heated racial topics in OT and a reddit about gaf that clearly has lurkers in the GAF BCT.
Bish did a short lock, but that was because it was all infighting within BCT.
Clearly I'm the glue keeping that thread together.i should've just bailed on em when they completely alienated satch a while back.
My take on all that - not everyone has to go around posting dissertations and trying to change minds. Hell, the busier I've gotten the less and less I find myself caring to do that. But, reading threads or following posters to then post in the BCT stuff like "omg, they're at it again!", "why isn't he banned!?!" and "get em!" is pretty lame.
Also, the frustration at OT and gaf in general is getting tiring. I honestly think it's a bit of DY and JC on point. You want to be bothered by that stuff, get in there and debate it (DY), otherwise chill out and enjoy the jokes (JC).
Even when I'm telling cats to "fuck off" and getting banned, I'm not mad.. just felt like a funny thing to say at the time.
RE: the Swift stuff - Yep. That's been a recurring thing, every 10 pages or so BCT wants to post on bodies and asses (fat ass or flat ass).. I mean I'm not going to get too heated about it, I just won't participate–but it's common sense that it makes it harder for women to want to come in and participate. And the "no ass" stuff is definitely the same sort of thing that'd be complained about if reversed, it's jokes (not really a funny one)… but a spade is a spade, and it's a personal appearance blast.
but you're right - i got shit ton of PMs and "you didn't me, did you? :O" looks. its particularly hilarious how that brought out JC's only serious post in all the years he's been posting there :lol: a long ass post to tell everyone how much he doesn't care :lol: . But if they're gonna bitch about how the OT is ass then act like a different side of the same coin in there, then I'll just keep popping in to shit in their waffles. I'm hardly the first person to be 100 about it.
BCT feels weird now. Maybe it'll settle down in a couple days, but it definitely made me look forward to leaving that site more than before.
What gets me, maybe someone can break it down for me, but all the critiques and complaints didn't feel all that serious until it got serious like out of nowhere. :roll: reading on-lookers opinions of the "incident" and community in general.

when did this happen?
Think he's referring to the Slayven/Satch jokes that got beaten to death...or maybe the misogyny stuff that she touched on before and general boysclub attitude the thread has from time to time....she had good reason to ditch the xommunity.

Yeah, when that one OT started with the Slayven/Satch wedding and went overboard with the Slayven/Satch jokes, Satch left the thread for a while and refused to come back. DY was one of the first to say everyone messed up.

The amount of "thirst" pics have died down since Satch and Devo have actively pointed it out, but the BCT and GAFers in general need to become self aware of not turning threads into boys clubs.
Nobody posts in here for a month, and spontaneously the thread breaks out into one of those meta conversations that requires Gaf refugee status to understand.

Sounds heavy-handed. Usually that kind of stuff in a community-style environment resolves itself.

I was dying at JC's post. Like retro(? maybe) said, "you just posted several paragraphs of 'I ain't shit'."
Can someone link me to JC's shit that started all this?
lol JC didn't start anything, he just had his first serious post ever in response to the in-fighting, just to say he dun cur. I'll pm you.

To summarize, DY started the dialogue about the direction the thread was going in and losing old thread regulars, in addition to calling out posters who were constantly complaining about Off Topic threads (usually related to black issues) in the Black Culture Thread without actually posting anything in these Off Topic threads themselves in order to make them better. This started a long back and forth for a few pages between the regulars. Then to top it off, a couple of posters were making fun of Taylor Swift for not having a big ass. DY, Devo, and a couple of others pointed out the hypocrisy in this since these same posters get mad when people call Nicki Minaj/black celebrities too fat.
So you had this argument going on in addition to the BCT direction discussion. Bishoptl then decided to close the thread for a few hours to "let everyone cool off", only to come back later and say that wasn't a good idea and to let everyone solve the problem themselves. JC then came into the thread and made the post I'm assuming Moris PMed you.
Remember BCT: Stay black, stay strong, stay black and long

1) Man, I'll be damned the first time I encounter someone's Pathos being influenced on the internet, especially on a forum where the discourse is rapid-fire. Current Events GAF OT almost always comprises of strawman discussion topics that are about as flammable as the Hindenburg. That stuff about "discourse and reason" is inconsistent with the dog piling that almost always takes place. In other words, why bother? (or as I put it, I do not cast my pearls of wisdom among swine[/])
2) Thanks for pointing this out. The level of passive aggression and coded speech rendered this side-topic indecipherable to me. I thought it was simply about judging women's bodies rather than the hypocrisy of skinny white women vs thick black women, or beauty aesthetics. Funny how those politics work in close to relation.
3)Yeah, that's what I thought. I've been a FM before. That's usually how you're supposed to let it roll in a quasi-homogenous environment with already-established and enforced moderation policy.

I can understand them wanting to prove a point where it is inappropriate to say that a woman is hot when she's talking about being sexually/harassed/assaulted/compromised, but a ban is harsh. A quote and note that such a comment undermines the woman/women is better because that opens a dialogue. The "because I said so" method does not bring about change, which is what the mod should be after.
Really disgusted at the american justice system right now.
no indiction and niggas had video footage of the nigga bein' shot.

I'm just mad that this kind of stuff is only JUST NOW getting coverage, and that it's trending alongside stuff like whomever that chick Chris Brown is feuding with. Ugh.

Agreed. This has been a huge positive that white are seeing the injustice and are reacting in such ways.. Of course there are still douchebags who blame the person who got shot 20 times.. but all in all the support has been really felt..

It's nice, but I would have liked it better when it wasn't trending on Twitter and creating clickbait for outlets like CNN and MSNBC:

The debut audience was 54% male and 65% over the age of 25, and the film played particularly well to Hispanic and African-American moviegoers, who made up 18% and 20% of the crowd, respectively.
