Now it's your turn, Dazzle1: Feel free to back your bullshit up with some details about your bullshit, and then we can discuss it...
Edit: spelling fix!

It's happened before.
So I made this Phantom Zone thread so the argument muck can go here, and leave the WW 1984 thread on topic and free of politics (especially the really stupid kind).
Totally the opposite. This phantom zone thread is here for you to spew your nonsense. Have a it!
I guess there's no hope for your spelling, but anyway...

The Squad are not terrorist supporters.
Linda Sarsour is not a terrorist supporter.
But I think I understand you better now. You're Anti-Arabism:
Anti-Arabism, Anti-Arab sentiment or Arabophobia includes opposition to, dislike, fear or hatred of, or advocacy of genocide of, Arab people.
So question is. Do you just hate on Arabs, or do you also terrorize them as a terrorist in actual practice?
Good point. Yes keep the WW 84 thread about the movie.theScribbler wrote: ↑3 years agoSure. Lots of smack talk around.

Different thread. Similar tho. In Phantom Zone. Same purpose.
Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions is not a terrorist movement, is not part of a terrorist movement.Dazzle1 wrote: ↑3 years agoAnother personal attack.theScribbler wrote: ↑3 years agoI guess there's no hope for your spelling, but anyway...

Both the Squad and Linda Sansour support BDS which is part of the Islamic terrorist movement and they all support attacks on Israel.
No I am not anti Arab, I am pro Israel. There is a difference. Arabs who can get beyond their anti-Semetism are fine. No problem with Hirisi Ali or the Arab Americans I work with.
Why do you excuse their obvious Nazi like beliefs?
Politics are intrinsic to human communication is the issue, and not at all intrinsically toxic. There really is no art without politics or some other mode of belief. There is no opinion or LOVE without a perspective or stance. Even in our depictions of SHiP there's a likelihood that your own opinions and beliefs have permeated your work or your interpretation of another work in some way, so saying 'we shouldn't talk about politics' somewhere is sort of like saying 'we shouldn't communicate at all.' and a forum can only exist with communication.
I'll go along with this. I suppose I should've titled it more generally. Like 'Branching out thread from Wonder Woman 1984 thread for politics arguing.' Not sure that would fit as a title.
I agree with the no changing mind part. I disagree that trying to move political stuff and potentially long arguing about politics out of the Wonder Woman 1984 thread is not constructive. To me, that part is constructive.
I disagree entirely with this analogy. Way over the top. But no worries. I'll revert to lurking for the most part from now on. I think that's for the best. I do have an WW art piece I was working on that I wanna post, so maybe a post every 2 months or so? I think that should not cause much trouble.
My point is... THIS is not the forum for politics.Femina wrote: ↑3 years agoPolitics are intrinsic to human communication is the issue, and not at all intrinsically toxic.

... That said.
There IS a point where it becomes a problem (or toxic as you say)... and I can't help but feel like creating a topic thread at another person's expense IS that point. Phantom Zone or otherwise (Lord knows I'm not 'one members' biggest fan) Talk about the industry, remark on the politics if they crop up organically... (or in the few topics dotting around that are clearly specifically ABOUT the politics and/or current state of living) but for crying out loud...
This is a topic thread with the sole intention to ROAST a specific individual. There's nothing constructive to be gleaned from it, no hope of changing a persons mind by nailing a picture of them on the telephone pole to point and laugh and spit.
This is bad form.
Sure, people want to discuss it. But is it appropriate for them to discuss it HERE?MightyHypnotic wrote: ↑3 years agoI am leaning towards a no politics rule.

As others have pointed out we have Facebook for that.
Probably better to not have politics till after the election. Things are going to get pretty tense.MightyHypnotic wrote: ↑3 years agoI am leaning towards a no politics rule.

If used as a parallel to this situation, prohibition was somewhat successful. It didn't stop drinking entirely, but it may have reduced instances of people getting wasted in public, in a way that might have been annoying to others.
The thing I see that starts these fights is someone adding in a quip or smart remark like some anti-Trump or anti-antifa comment which then gets a response and so forth. So people need to stop doing that. Its the old saying of "Two wrongs don't make a right - just as long as mine is the first wrong".bushwackerbob wrote: ↑3 years agoThat might be for the best, I just wonder how tightly a ban like that might be enforced, that what some people might perceive a post to be political in nature to one group, to others may seem non political and harmless. If that is the way you are going to go, then I think you need to put strict parameters in place about what people, candidates, or issues are off limits, and then you have topics that seem non political and then all of a sudden some stinker comes in to spoil the fun and then we are off to the races. I think a no politics rule is a good idea but I think the forum bigwigs are going to have to actively enforce that ban if they are really serious about that idea, not this sort of polite suggestion handed down from Mount Olympus and hope everybody goes along with it.
