Ok, Political Posts

I’ve been lurking for a while now waiting and thinking about the next post to make. But coming back to offtopic after a while and seeing so many political posts regarding both sides, along with bait politics. Need to stop! or go somewhere else. I get it, we are living in weird times RN, almost had 3rd World War. And politics in the US (of course). And you want to share you view on theses topics. But here’s my issue (possibly someone else’s too) with that. People being bias. Now some might not realize that their being bias, and that’s ok we all get to learn. But it creates conflict with others, do you see? If I made a post about, let’s sayyyy an Android phone is better than an apple phone, and here’s why. No one would care, you have it stated in the title that you can’t change your mind, your bias. And then we’ll get people who are bias and saying apple phones are better then Android. Great more people that wouldn’t change their view and wants to sway others, bam conflict. And we go the people who don’t care or they see one phone can have better UI while the other has a better camera. Their both bad and good in different ways. Now let’s get back to the political posts. This is offtopic, a place where we share our creativity, our accomplishments, our failures and how it changed us. We come from so many background I can’t list them all. I’ve seen art, I’ve seen RP, I’ve seen funny posts, interactive posts, I can keep listing. But what do those have in common? They bring people together. For example, those Story post Asterisk (if I spelled that right). My friend flabber Jay and Jestingworm love that. I remember hearing them taking about “oh the new Asterisk is here!” There was excitement to see and connect with others in the story, other b.net users. Another one is what I did, I made a post about “If we had a Minecraft Server, would you join?” I got a lot of Yeses. And a reply from Dmg04. [quote]Do it You Won’t [/quote] I was bounded and set to make it. When I got it running so PC, Xbox, phone, and Switch can play together. People flooded it and the discord for it. But there people were collaborating in building, killing the Ender dragon, sharing ideas. That’s what we need again. Not this petty political crap. If you want to keep the posting, go to reddit. You can log onto b.net right. Make an account on Reddit. I would call out people but I would violate Code of Conduct. But just quit it please. At least have it vary rare. Talk about something else. Something good. Like charities, or a cool story you herd off. Something we can appreciate. Sorry, I’m not big on politics cause I’m a neutral guy. So let’s just quit it. At least a week.

      The other posts aren’t much better... do you really prefer the following? * random fact about me that has nothing to do with you * stupid joke that doesn’t make you laugh * rehash of that stupid joke * incoherent post * rehash of that incoherent post, trying to be funny * something Destiny related * random news fact that you would see elsewhere * role playing * popularity contest * look what I drew

      • There is a ton of high-profile political stuff going on and you're telling people to... not talk about politics. You know, plenty of people have tried this throughout history and it turns out trying to suppress free thinking and public discourse is [b]never[/b] good.

        • I know it may be a difficult pill to swallow. It still needs to be said. This is not your forum, nor is it my forum. This forum does not exist for you, nor does it exist for me. Neither of us have any entitlement to this forum. This forum is not owed to any of us. You may express your preferences, but do not expect anyone in this forum to fulfill them. Setting such an expectation will always result in disillusionment. It will never be fulfilled. It's best to just ignore the posts you don't like and move on. I do it all the time with the roleplays, stories, and the like. They don't interest me so I scroll right past them. I'm sure you would be happier if you did the same. [spoiler]The expectation thing applies to much more than these forums. When I was first promoted to HACCP Coordinator, I expected to be more involved in management meetings immediately. That did not happen. After several talks with my coworker, who previously held my position and is now the 1st Shift QA Supervisor, expressing my frustrations, she finally got it through my thick skull that I'm just not to that point yet. She had been in my position for several years and it was over the course of that time that she became more involved in those meetings. There's also the fact that our facility is going through some major changes in management. Neither her nor our new manager are really able to take me under their wing for such meetings. I basically have to remain available in their stead while they are in those meetings. We can't all three be unavailable. To make a long story short, that unfulfilled expectation is the source of that frustration I've felt. I just have to be patient during this time. It's far from easy. I really don't have much else aside from another long story involving my frustrations with my church's leadership.[/spoiler]

        • Political neutrality and apathy is a functional a vote for the status quo. Political discourse is fundamental in creating a feee society regardless of whether anyone’s minds changed. Conflict isn’t a negative it drives change. If you don’t like it block Eccho

              Ive seen that offtopic negotiates what they want posted or not posted by how many "crickets" you hear when you post something noone wants to hear or see. 0 likes + 0 comments = your post sucks butt... Try again. Edit: i wasnt taking a shot at op's post just saying offtopic moderates posts they dont like by ignoring crappy posts. Imo

              • I'm also a politically neutral guy, but I'm also not politically apathetic about it. What happens at the level of the federal government affects me directly both in my personal life and my paycheck. Even if I don't like it, I force myself to be aware of the issues affecting the US at the highest level because if I don't, I only have myself to blame if I didn't see something coming that could have been prevented if I was watching what was happening in the federal government. Besides, the trial for removing the president from office is happening right now, and given how many people on this forum support Trump and the Republican party, it would really surprise me if there wasn't a single day in the Offtopic where someone is going to bash on Democrats and Independents on this forum for no good reason other than those two parties don't share the same opinions and feelings as the Republican party.

                • No. You dont have any more right to tell me (or anyone else who posts about current events/politics) any more than I have a right to decide what you post. If you dont like it nobody is forcing you to click the links to political threads. And if even *seeing* political threads is upsetting for you, you can mute the users who post them... which includes me. Ps. Some of us hate the "story" and roleplay threads just as much.

                  • Just mute them, you're not missing anything. Most of those 4chan rejects straight up admit they do it because it's the only way their lonely arses can get any attention, and the bans for triggering those snowflakes that can't take what they dish out are not worth it. If I'm gonna get banned for upsetting a bot, I'd rather it be Bungies bot. So just let them hyperventilate in their safe spaces over the latest thing those evil they on the other side did and step around them, plugging your nose to avoid the smell. Its all we can really do until the folks in charge decide to do something about the filth plaguing our streets.

                    • Oh look another one of these [i]“people should only talk about things that I want to talk about”[/i] posts. If it’s inside he CoC then people are free to post whatever they like. Believe it or not some people actually enjoy talking about things that you don’t like talking about. Crazy right? So here’s a little tip I learned: If you don’t like the subject of a post just don’t open it - keep scrolling. It works every time.

                      • Asking political posts to go away on off topic, is like asking a brothel to attend church.

                          First off Hoss, politics are never going to leave. Every 3-6 months when they flair up again, someone makes a post about it. Secondly, every single person here has free will. As in, you can willingly choose to enter those topics or not. Third, without the negativity that politics brings, people don't see the beauty of the posts that bring us together, because after a bit of the trippy dippy hippie peace & love, people start to complain about it. Everything here is a cycle. Due to the huge amount of kids, when something takes off, we have too many people copying for a hope of becoming popular or cool. They don't get that being popular & cool truly sucks! Doob was the coolest kid on the block when I started here & he dipped because of it. Triumphant1000, do ya'll see him? Cell-3? There are more, but I am tired. Look, I know you are probably cussing me & thinking I am being a douchenozzle, but I swear I am not. You are frustrated & you know what? I have asked the same shit & I got the same answers I am giving you. It took me awhile to see the truth, but eventually, I did. Fact is, if we all just blended all these different topics, we would not get so burnt out on them, but until we help every noob that walks through OffTopic's doors to see that they should be themselves & not seek to copy what is the current trend, it will never stop. Religion. Then politics. Then Stories. Then RP. Then shitposts. Then memes. Then trolling. Then favorite user posts. Etc. They just flow through in a cycle, not always in a set order, but the do flow. So, ignore what you don't care for or just make goofy ass replies like I do, though I do that to any post, not just ones I don't like. Be patient, let the wheel turn & hope for a fun one. Stay positive & don't let it get to you, because oddly enough, those debates will change people's minds. Not immediately, but if you calmly talk about your ideas & genuinely listen to their side, in time, their opinion will change as the information slowly sifts into place. It may not be exactly what you expected, but it will be something new in their minds.

Iirc, people wanted more "shitposts" and "politics" instead of the heavy rp. But now, rp don't seem that bad...
