 Posted: Wed Nov 02, 2016 4:23 pm Post subject: Are Toonzone forums invaded by SJW? |
 |
|
I've been on Toonzone forums since around 10 years. When we come to some political discussions. They don't seem to accept a lot sites like ZeroHedge, Breitbart, SHTFplan, thinking there's conspiracy theories websites like Infowars while they have more readers then Huffington Post, NY Times, the mainstream media.
I got a message from "Zombie Chevrolet-Oldsmobile" (I changed the username like they do in changing names in the classic tv series Dragnet when they mention in that series it's to protect the innocents).
I quote the message I got in a warning.
| Quote: | This is a poke to inform you that we've been getting complaints from other members about the links you keep posting to conspiracy websites in the US election thread. For starters, it discourages conversation when you keep replying to every other post with a link (and you've been poked about this behavior before). Secondly, regardless of whose side they support, are these links to good journalistic sources with credible reporting? Where are they getting their information? Would you be able to use this as a source in a scholarly writing? Think about that when you post a news piece.
If we have to remind you of this kind of behavior again, it will be a full warning. |
I begin to wonder if Toonzone forums had been invaded by SJW(social justice warriors) or by using this not so correct term "liberals Archie Bunker"? By the term "liberal Archie Bunker", I refer to that episode of the classic tv sitcom "All in the family" when the open-minded Michael (Mike) Stivic (who's married to Edith's and Archie Bunker's daughter Gloria) titled "The games the Bunkers play" where open-minded liberal Mike act like Archie Bunker in this clip at 10:03 https://youtu.be/BB9PF7gFD78?t=10m3s
Btw, maybe I could invent a new term, how about SJABW for "Social Justice Archie Bunker Warriors" but it would be a miracle if it's catch and became viral like "Trigglypuff". |

...Well... Readership numbers aren't always the same thing as perceived respectability. If you wanted to source-cite a conservative source which might be considered more news-like, perhaps you could go through FOX?
Also, it seems like the complaint isn't just about people being scared of the sources, but also about link-replying in general? Like, I know I find it a little intimidating if I'm trying to talk about stuff and every time I want to reply to someone, I have to go read whatever article or list of articles they've linked to, instead of just having an exchange of opinions and occasionally looking at a source document if they've made a claim that particularly needs backing up... sometimes people don't have time to go through a lot of articles, they just want to reply to a discussion and move on with their day. |

Some said Fox news had softened over the years.
I guess we hadn't completely realised, the mainsteam media had been probably caught pants down by people who refer to the "alt-media" (alternate media) with besides the websites already mentionned, some Youtube vloggers then I know like Doctor of Common Sense, Styxhexenhammer666, Tommy Sotomayor, Steven Crowder who posted avlog about media corruption, etc... and some might not like this competition and want to shut it down.

I guess I might check if the grass is really greener elsewhere like City-Data forums.
Edit: Some newspapers like the New York Times who had taken a recent biais had reported a 95.7 percent fall in quarterly profit. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3897406/New-York-Times-reports-95-7-percent-fall-quarterly-profit.html There's one poster on that article who nicknamed it the "New York Slimes" (due to the Ghostbusters slime I presume? )  |

Yeah, exploring your options and looking into other places to hang out online is always an option if you don't like what a forum you've liked has become lately.
I've never left a forum on purpose - had a few buckle underneath me, though. But I get way attached to communities once I've been with them for awhile. |

Apologies for the bump, I posted a message then I written to MDawg in late September.

Sorry for my late post but I guess it might be better late than never. If you think then what I'm really are because of Styxwhatever. I posted the following to wondefly a couple of weeks ago and I thought it might be worth then I share with you.
There was some old posts on TZ forums wayback in time who mentionned Noam Chomsky. http://archive.is/AF6h2 (and some of these old posts are probably archived on Archive.is and the Wayback Machine) What's the link with that Youtube vlogger Styxwhatever? Almost 40 years ago, Noam Chomsky got his credibility hurt when he signed a petition in the Faurisson affair about a guy named Robert Faurisson who was a Holocaust denier. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faurisson_affair And a guy named Werner Cohn had once written a book titled "Partners in Hate: Noam Chomsky & the Holocaust deniers" who's available on Amazon.
I wonder if we could still mention Noam Chomsky on TZ forums?
I spotted a discussion on Reddit about Styxwhatever and that video and Rationalwiki, I wanted to check it but it was already removed,( I don't know if that video in question had been uploaded elsewhere )
who's archived on Archive.is http://archive.is/gmaIs
and if you have some free time, I saw these threads on City-Data forums who might be worth to check.
http://www.city-data.com/forum/great-debates/2409890-holocaust.html
http://www.city-data.com/forum/poli...-anti-defamation-league-criticizes-jay-z.html
Btw, should we put Valerie Plame in the same category as me? She posted a tweet, now deleted but archived on Archive.is and on the Wayback Machine, it goes as far then the Valerie Plame article had been chosen article of the day for Sept 23-24 on Encyclopedia Dramatica. http://archive.is/vOQnq
https://archive.is/OFaGQ
Noam Chomsky and now Valerie Plame, I wonder if I might be now in good company?
And let's not pull all our eggs in the Rationalwiki basket. Rationalwiki's stance about Gamergate who might had probably hurt more their reputation than helped it. Here a archived copy of their entry from 2014 posted on the Wayback Machine.
https://web.archive.org/web/20141011112608/https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Gamergate and let's have fun to compare it with the current version. http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Gamergate |

| As you can see, those leftists can't be reasoned - talking to them is like talking to brick wall. |

Worse than a brick wall! It's like talking to a pile of rocks.  |

You got it right - both rock piles and crazy leftists are likely to cause severe headache. |
