    I think that it would probably be best if Malkavian went over and talked out his issues and we went back to what we were discussing before this little derail.

    ^ Quoth Malk:

    "I've tried. It hasn't worked. Or it works for ten minutes then he's back to it."

    I agree about the ending the derail part, though.

    Oh. Huh.

    The sheer amount of people completely missing the point in regards to what IJBM is about delights me.

    While I feel bad if someone in particular feels offended, I stand by my opinion that badgering them / constantly flirting with them is annoying and should seriously be worth at least a warning or something. TvTropes is a lot of things, but it isn't a dating chat site.

    ^Maybe he wasn't being blunt enough. Perhaps it'd be good to bring it up again, politely, but firmly.

    Also, I want those pants.

    I'll stop. I've had my fun with this little derail.

    Heh heh heh.
  • MyrmidonMyrmidon
    Sometimes you have to do something multiple times before it sticks.

    Or maybe it'll never stick. Still worth trying.

    You can change. You can.
    The people who can go and talk their problem out there should go. Those of us who don't give a shit should stay here, and watch silently while consuming cuban rum

    or whatever it is you consume.
  • MyrmidonMyrmidon
    Well the thread just got locked so the point is probably moot.

    Aww. Well, it was fun while it lasted.

    Anywho, I agree with AHR on this one (considering I already kind of said it except worded differently). Malk, just PM him and tell him straight up that you don't appreciate the flirting.

    ...Again.

    Myrm: Maddy gave her blessing in making another thread -- which he did, in a more general topic.

    ^^^^For a second I thought Fetishes was locked again and was all 'that was quick'.

    ^^I just don't see it as worth the trouble, especially since there aren't a lot of people of Fetishes I want to talk to now, and as I've said at this point it would just be a lack of pattern recognition.

    Anyway, let's talk about something actually interesting that I wanted to comment on

    Also, am I the only person who finds the self-proclaimed asexuals (the ones who obviously aren't really asexual, not the actual ones) just as annoying (or at least almost as annoying) as the sex-addicts?

    Like everything else, it depends on how they behave about it. I think a problem is that some people equate lack of sexuality with intelligence or superior-ness. I saw a rathe infamous thread, by now, where a user claimed that he was feeling sexual urges for the first time in 22 years and that he was turning into a barbarian.

    This is annoying.

    However, there are quite a few self-proclaimed asexuals in both here and there who are actually hyposexuals, demisexuals etc etc who use the term asexual either due to ignorance or simplicity's sake.

    I can't honestly get mad at them. Cuz sexuality's complicated. And it's really hard to explain to people who are too busy being either sexomaniacs or otherwise annoying.
  • AHRAHR
    Oh mai GAWD I wish I was asexual because they are superior in every way and then I could get ALL of my work done EVER.
  • ForzareForzare
    Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the last Day.
    I wish I was asexual because then I'd be able to get all the bitches.

    I remember one or three posters that pissed off the entire hivemind of the Photos thread once or 10 times. 

    CamwhoreTroper: "hey handsome ;D (Random link to troper tits)"

    GenericASeximal: "lol nope"

    CamworeTroper: "WTF THAT HURTS MY FEELINGS YOU STUPID DICK"

    Photothread: "WTF GTFO YOU CHUCKLEFUCK THIS THREAD AND HER POST WASN'T MADE FOR YOU"

    GenericAseximal: "o sorry gaiz I is aseximal so please no criticism >8D"

    And as much as I hate to admit it, I agreed fully with the Photo Thread hivemind

    @Kraken (I think):

    "In the course of making fun at someone's expense there is a grain of truth to ridicule, no?"

    Maybe, but if you honestly want to help, you need more than a grain. Ridicule is funny, but the ridiculee (I know that's not a real word) might want some honesty.
  • MillerCrossMillerCross

    I think of them as a comedian AKA: People who make a mockery of us. And in order for a comedian to mock us properly, they need to use some truths. 

    The thing is, that the comedian doesn't give a shit. Because this is all a joke.

    ^^^^ Just asking. Am I wrong in agreeing with them? Because proud yodel at the top of the mountain with a bullhorn asexuals (or any type of person, no exceptions) can get very annoying, very fast, when their opinion is not wanted, needed, or given an opportunity to be used.
  • BobBob
    I would say, no, as I would agree with them too. It's especially annoying when they find any excuse to bring it up. Then again, this goes for anything.
  • StormtroperStormtroper
    Boy, this thread sure got feisty. Good thing I abstained from posting in it earlier. Plus what I wanted to say then was probably better off not said anyway.

    About asexuals and smugness, there was this Troper Tales (What Is This Thing You Call Love, I think, I don't know how to get the TT archives) where many of the editors seemed to think that their lack of desire for romance and/or sex was involved in transcending humanity.
  • BobBob
    And bullshit like that is why people make fun of TVT.

    From my SA lurking, TVTropes is almost as common a byword for internet loathsomeness as reddit is, so I'd say the site's getting a genuinely bad reputation there at the very least.

  • MillerCrossMillerCross
    You can change. You can.
    And then you go to the LP section and see people referring tropes unironically.

    Like always, it's good to not assume that sites are not a monolithic entity that only holds one opinion. There's a reason why their second thread was nuked and it was precisely because of this. 

    Anyway, as always, my stance on this things is that it can be fixed, but I'll let smarter, better men do it. 
  • vandrovandro
    He who laments and can't let go of the past is forever doomed to solitude.
    I disagree, the potential for the übermensch is there, and maybe one day there will be one. I hope it does exist someday. The rest is okay though.
  • DarkDecapodianDarkDecapodian

    ^^ Well, I know that there's plenty of crossboard rivalry on SA, but from what I'd read I thought it had become common sitewide. I could be wrong, though.
