I'm personally torn between multiple sides drawing battle lines like it's Flanders or Verdun, and one reactionary refusing to take critique from everyone else until :ban-hammer: .
Daily reminder that this is a website, not a revolutionary organization, and you aren't going to win or lose the revolution based on this forum's official stance on outdoor cats.
Only leftist on this site logging off as all you libs should too :fidel-balling:
my favorite was the guy telling me IBS didn’t exist so I dmed him a picture of my toilet bowl and he deleted his account
My favorite are where the userbase splits into two camps and gets really angry and subpost each other about it for days afterward. The recent re-light of the veganism debate was great for this, with every single food post since threatening to explode and relitigate the entire thing and every major post on the vegan comm brimming with anger.
The food comm always brings out the worst in folks.
We had people thirsting over someone's girlfriend that cooked a meal, making fun of someone cooking a meal for their parents, plus all the evangelism around people's diets.
i like the ones where the stakes are really really low but we're all sending live anthrax to each others' parents' houses over it anyway.
It ended with someone posting photos of Aboriginal australians hunting and killing outdoor cats.
This is not a joke, that's what actually happened
My favorite kind of struggle session is the war I've been trying to wage against the city of Boston, but no one is defending Boston so it's not much of a struggle session.
I know basically nothing about Boston. Why are you trying to wage a war against it?
I know basically nothing about Boston either, but when I was a kid I saw an episode of Cops! Boston on TV and one of them kept talking about a CAAAHH. He used the word over and over again. It scarred me for life, and I've vowed revenge ever since.
EDIT: Found an example here: https://youtu.be/vd2yAdqMBEo (MASSIVE CW - cops, mullets, almost indecipherable Boston accents)
None of them.
I believe that sectarian division should be avoided or at least minimized whenever possible, not turned into "dae le popcorn" :reddit-logo: style declarations.
I agree with @UlyssesT, but also sometimes it's really fun to have a struggle session over shit that literally doesn't matter. Like if Dark Souls is a good video game or not or if Big Chungus is funny
I would agree with you there if I didn't have to get weird treat defender grudges returning months later in unrelated threads. One noteworthy example was when I said that Star Citizen was what it always was: a grift.
That wasn't the only time, but it was bewildering, because that particular vapor treat is an especially absurd grift and I could instantly feel new layers of :jokerfication: apply themselves to my face when someone on Hexbear expressed that much lasting rage, conjuring it up months afterward in a thread that wasn't even about Star Citizen because I called it a grift months ago and stood by that.
Comrade, this is the shit that I want injected into my veins every time and hate when I miss.
When it's pure ideology :zizek-preference: - then :lets-fucking-go:
The magical realism debates are starting to hit that fuckin vein - I can't wait for us to hit peak struggle.
Like if Dark Souls is a good video game
Someone got really mad about it when I said "Nobody actually likes that game theres just various levels of deluded stockholm syndrome like affection for it"
Not sure if it was a struggle sesh or just one guy but the one about Art where someone ended up arguing that everyone who has an emotional reaction to art was faking it sticks in my mind.
I like that the final battle at the end of everything, where all the men and all the gods and all the spirits and everything else in creation pick sides and throw down, is going to be over whether you should let your tabby outdoors or not.
I love struggle sessions about questionable content in hentai and anime, because the subject is so incredibly niche that the only way a person would have an opinion on it is if they actively consumed that kind of content in the first place.
Eh, I dunno. I'm regularly recommended different anime by friends and online people, and was pretty regularly grossed out by various questionable shit in all of them when I gave them the chance, so I have an opinion on it since I don't want to give any anime the benefit of the doubt anymore.
(not tryin to start shit or say all anime is bad, just sayin I'm several times bitten, forever shy)
This is where I'm at with it. There's no baby to throw out with the bathwater

Yeah but if people think the wrong things online then their spirit energy makes the wrong thing real like a goddamn Neil Gaiman novel or something. Bad ideas are like tinkerbell and the history of mankind hitherto is the history of people having bad ideas.
The best ones are where people get unreasonably invested in something that doesn't actually matter at all
I'm partial to male circumcision debates, just so funny.
