I'm talking about i would have liked to choose if i get to see footage of a deer getting its head blown off. I would like to have known that is what i would be seeing in a GIF when i was thinking I was checking how foot was doing. I found the GIF sickening abd a bit of perverted deer snuff film. Liking or not liking hunting is beside the point, and i had expected someone else to say something like 'yeah, you know, that is an image that perhaps could be hidden behind a warning:" Like, is there a mod in the house?

I thought my comments were rather clear on that point. Now I have King GIF on ignore, but that doesnt do too much if I don't log in nor does it do anything for others who may share my sensibilities.

I don't see much point in mounting that one's head on a plaque, either. It's a tasteless attention grabber for no apparent reason.

It was the 'for shame y'all' and 'grow a fucking spine' that bemused me.

I agree about the gif.

Incidentally, this was my first sight of the thread. I've been avoiding it because I knew it would upset/disturb me. And lo and behold so it has.

Next time I'll try to express my disgust with the status quo in a more, um...'less disgusted with the status quo' kind of way.

ok...I guess. I don't know what you mean by the status quo in this case though. I don't see how this thread and people's responses to it in any way reflect some wider problem.

Maybe I'm being particularly dense.

OH SHIT

yeah... i had been viewing this thread on my phone, which does not do gifs.

thats fucking nasty, bill

shaw is right.

put a fucking NSFW tag on shit like that.

I think Shaw is commenting on the lack of an outcry from the regulars over that gif.

The eyes bulging out is what got me.

Bill, this place is like a bar. There are ladies present. There are even some minors. If you must post things like that, put a link to it with a good strong warning label, instead of just sticking it in our faces.

Do you understand?

On gifs and posting styles more generally: it has been pointed out to Bill that a lot of dwellars access via phones ( I mainly do these days) and that his posting format is not very phone friendly, but apparently he has to post in the best way to get his point across to his 'audience'.

Or...come in our mouths or whatever the fuck the skittles thing was about. Go figure.

I see. I think quite a lot of people hadn't seen the gif. I only saw it today. And it was fucking horrible. Very disturbing and not what I want to see when I enter a thread. Sure as hell wouldn't want that up on screen if I had youngsters about.

I still don't see how that lack of outcry was indicative of some major problem with the 'status quo' in the cellar though. Or was the result of people being 'spineless'.

Not trying to get at Inf, just genuinely not seeing what she is apparently seeing in the community.


Exsqueeze me?

Usually view the Cellar on my phone, so just now saw the gif. Not something I wanted to see. Bill's posts make me wary to enter any thread he creates or posts in because whatever I find usually makes me uncomfortable. I've never had to use the ignore feature and hope not to have to employ it now -- Bill, can you tone it down, please, or put a warning on thread titles?

OKAY.

I just made the mistake of opening the "For the love of Lucre" thread WHICH IS IN FOOD AND DRINK FOR FUCK'S SAKE only to find pictures of a mutilated rhino.

Can a mod please either delete or move that disgusting thread? Really not the place for posting gratuitously violent pictures with no discernible commentary.

Have you ever noticed there's never a Dalek around when you need one ...

yeah, not defending her calling us all pussies... just trying to interpret the reaction. I don't really find the cellar as a whole culpable if they choose not to flip their shit over things I would flip my shit over.... but hey...

ladies present
oh!

and Dana is here too!


sorry.




sorry dana
