Calling out crapulence as best I can

I've seen the online looner and body-inflation communities develop over the past three decades and this morning I saw an example of misogyny and victim blaming that left every other such incident in that context in the dust.
I've spoken out against this sort of crap in the past and been shit-canned for doing so at every opportunity because the people moderating the spaces in question kowtow to bullies and because those bullies mistake their cheer squad for validity.
I started a blog this morning so I can call out crapulence on a level playing field. I would be grateful for any likes or shares the online looners and BI fans afford me. The only way I've found to date to curb the worst excesses of dim bulb entitlement junkies like Spunkpunk is to drag their bullshit out in the open and to laugh at it as hard and as loud as I can. I would be grateful if you joined me in that endeavour.

Hi pongo, 

I am sorry to hear that you keep witnessing this happening in the community, and I do agree with you that there are really bad people out there. I will try my best to help support your cause. Thank you for bringing this concern to everyone. Appreciate it!

You need a hobby

Damn- not to sound disrespectful towards pongo, but that was actually kinda funny

pongo

Surfing, crafts, podcasting, underwater photography.
Got plenty of hobbies, but I'm enjoying this new one of calling out and outraging thin skinned and cowardly bullies a lot.
Thanks for your considered and very helpful advice.

I'm sorry. I interpreted Markofaslayer's comment ironically, like Bender from Futurama saying “Do a flip!” (I'm just digging myself deeper here, aren't I?) Out of genuine curiosity, do you photograph marine life, or anything aquatic in general? (coral, etc.)

pongo

Mostly benthic invertebrates.
It's how I developed my skills in dealing with spineless bottom feeders.

Do you remember that last guy who complained? It was about Discord it's because the people who he was talking too were trans or playing a female character and he was so arrogant that he declined me an art commission because I showed him a photo of me with a female photo filter and I told him because I didn't want to catfish, he didn't get any sympathy from the community 

I suggest use a vent room in a discord server  unless the person in doing something illegal with proof

I don't understand what you wanted me to take away from your contribution, inflatingclothes
I don't see an analogue between the situation I brought to light and the one you reference.
Someone was doing something illegal and when called on it they got irate and abused the content maker with venomous bile and cowardly threats. 
The thread I took the screen shot from appears to have been removed from the site at which BI clips are being shared.  I won't take credit for that but I will state that doing nothing achieves nothing.  Venting silently to yourself about abuse, both of IP and of people, will never bring about change.
Loving this hobby, Themarkoftheslay.

Alllllright, you fight the power, brother

Wasn't awaiting your permission, snowflake.

Need me to bring you some ice back next time I head to Antarctica to help salve your hurt butt?

You confuse, anger with apathy. I find it a tad goofy that someone that apparently has all these hobbies and things going for them to go on a crusade over some misplaced sense of moral superiority. I'm just having a giggle in the meantime.

pongo

You conflate a few minutes of my time with decades of holy war.

Where you giggle in misplaced confidence I flat out laugh at you, stumbling around with your rhetorical pants around your ankles in a dialogue no-one forced you to join and in which your input is both pointless and whiny.

You are a pigeon on a chess board, strutting about and knocking over pieces but failing to understand the condition that constitutes doing well in that context.

We're going to need a bigger boat.  This level of butthurt is going to require a lot of soothing ice.

For what? You haven't done anything 

pongo

Get off the chess board ya lice riddled avian.

You're not faring well and what little empathy I can muster for dim bulb incels is expressing itself as embarrassment for you at your performance in this context.

You really haven't done anything, have you? Where's the "blog"? Mind you I'm not going to read the thing, but that's kind of my initial point

pongo

It's linked in the OP.

You need a hobby.

That's not a self important decree about how you spend your time.  It's my earnest hope you might find something you're good at, because reasoning and rhetoric are clearly not working out for you.

I stand corrected. Still not reading it though

You should take it to crime stoppers  or your countries version

Erm… respectfully, aren't you going against the very message you're trying to purvey, pongo? Insulting someone by calling them — pardon me while I look back —  “a pigeon on a chess board” although I think pawn would have worked better, a lice-ridden avian, and a snowflake. You could have very easily taken the highroad and ignore Markofaslayer, but you opted to hurl petty insults. And he's being more than cordial. It's more than fine that you have a cause to uphold, but methinks you won't get much support popping off on others that get under your skin. And the quips about him being butt hurt over your “burns”, however eloquently you type them, is still a tad childish. In fact outsiders looking in might say you have a holier-than-thou complex, which I'm sure isn't true.

In layman's terms, if you read something you don't like, let it roll over you like water does to stones and move on.

My message is stop with the misogyny that sees content sharing shitstains using slurs and threats against the sex workers who cater to their kinks.

MofSlay chose to stick their oar in and no-one forced him to keep sticking his bobblehead above the rhetorical parapet. 

After giving them encouragement with your own initial contribution you now come in with this holier than thou tone trollery to label me holier than thou and miss the point about the pigeon analogy.

Moffles is a troll at best and the misogynist making threats against my friend at worst.  Either way I don't owe them respect and good will.

Labelling them a pigeon on a chess board is a accurate analogy.  He is exactly that effective and helpful.

LadyMars224

First, I apologized for my contribution and even asked about your hobbies. Secondly, did I or did I not say “Which I know you don't” have a holier-than-thou complex. And lastly, I'm going to be the bigger person here and drop the conversation. Goodbye and good luck with your endeavors. :)

This conversation stopped being productive a while ago, so I'm locking it down.

Now all of you go to your respective corners, think about what you've done, and put some serious thought into how you go about posting in the future.
