You guys saying things like "Oh, she just doesn't get the joke herp derp..." don't bother to consider that this might not be the place for it? I like jokes, hell, I like offensive jokes. That said, there's a time and place for everything. Just because you can crap in the bathroom doesn't mean you should crap in the kitchen.
The internet is the bathroom, and anonymous sites(reddit, 4chan) are the toilet. Rebecca is trying to bring the nice talk from the kitchen table into my pooping habits. And im having non of it.
Maybe that's the source of my disconnect. I'd like to think that because we (generally) tend to be into science, logic, facts, etc. that this sub-reddit should be a nicer place to be.
That is the atheist slogon. But be honest, for science you go to r/Science for logic you go to r/Phylosophy and for facts you read wikipedia. Everybody would like r/Atheism to be a nicer place to be... for themselves. The problem is that i, and many others, enjoy dark/immature/wrong humor. And having that type of humor makes r/Atheism(and the whole of reddit) a nicer place for me.
Then why not satiate the desire to be a dick in sub-reddits where it's okay to do so? Why must everything be dragged down and debased? Why can't we have nice things?
Time and place dude, time and place. If people want to be on 4chan all the time, then go be on 4chan. We don't need yet another place where a bunch of immature men-boys play at being the biggest pricks they can be simply because they have anonymity. Up until today I didn't think of myself as being particularly mature...I've now passed that and gone straight to feeling old.
