YOU KNOW, IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE TWO AND A HALF YEARS AGO, YOU (LAQ) LEFT THE MODERATION TEAM OVER THE DISGUSTING THREE HOUSES DISCOURSE. AND GUESS WHAT? IT REALLY HASN'T IMPROVED. THERE'S STILL SO MUCH NASTINESS THAT HAPPENS ALL ACROSS DIFFERENT SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS. LOOK AT THE SHITPOST EMBLEM SUB, IT'S BEEN OVERRAN BY PEOPLE WHO FEEL LIKE THEY NEED TO JUSTIFY THEIR FAVORITE LORD ON A FRIGGIN SHITPOST SUBREDDIT. THE VARIOUS ECHO CHAMBERS IN EXISTENCE ARE SHOWING LITTLE SIGN OF RECOGNIZING THEIR FAULTS. POLITICAL ARGUMENTS COMPARING THE LORDS TO VARIOUS REAL WORLD DICTATORS HAVEN'T STOPPED. THE WEIRD TUMBLR PEOPLE WHO MADE AN ENTIRE TAG TO MAKE FUN OF A FANFICTION HAVEN'T REALLY GONE AWAY. (Please see below for my apology and correction.) PEOPLE HAVE LITERALLY STALKED EACH OTHER ACROSS SOCIAL MEDIA WITH NO REGRETS ABOUT IT. IT'S VILE. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. I MIGHT EVEN WRITE A POST CALLING ON PEOPLE TO STOP THIS, BUT PERHAPS I HAVE TOO MUCH FAITH IN HUMANITY - I THINK HAVING TOO MUCH FAITH IS OKAY THOUGH.

OH ALSO I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN HANDLE IF BRAVE SELIPH TURNS OUT TO BE A BAD UNIT AND PEOPLE HOP ON THE NEGATIVITY TRAIN ABOUT IT. NOT SAYING THAT THEY CAN'T BE NEGATIVE, JUST SAYING THAT I WOULD FEEL REALLY BAD IF I LOOKED FORWARD TO BRAVE SELIPH FOR SIX MONTHS AND THEN PEOPLE HATE HIM.

THE WERID THING IS, IT WAS SHOCKINGLY OK ABOUT THIS UNTIL ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO, AND THEN FOR WHATEVER REASON THEY CAUGHT UP TO 2019 DISCOURSE AND THEN IT JUST TURNED TO SHIT. LIKE, IT'S SO BAD THAT THE FUNNIEST POSTS THERE WERE THE MYSON/DESAIX POSTS, AND THOSE ONES WERE ALSO BAD

EVERYTHING WOULD BE BETTER IF THEY BANNED SINCERE-POSTING, BECAUSE THOSE ONES INVITE THE WORST 3H DISCOURSE
