badposting is a comm where you post badly


This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.

Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?


Rules:

  1. Do not post good posts.
    • Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
    • Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
  2. This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
  3. This rule intentionally left blank.
  4. If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.

Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

Unless you're being deliberately hacky. Otherwise, knock it off. It's played out.

Apologies if your name is Scarlett and you have red hair. Unless you dyed your hair red, then you're kinda part of the problem.

Bit idea: character with green hair named Scarlett, who was named by talking dogs.

This could have been me if I changed my name to Scarlett when I transitioned. Missed my shot at greatness kitty-cri

my-hairdo <-she would be out of a job if you stopped writers naming like this (which is a good thing)

[Racism] Going to remind you all, her only black character was called Kingsley Shacklebolt

Jesus is that even a real surname? Even Freeman would have been more subtle.

It's one step away from naming a character "Watermelon Tyrone". You would think her editors or something would be like "Bruh, this name... You need to change that."

I did not notice it as a kid, but it is essentially "Martin Luther Escapedslave"

[–] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 8 points 2 days ago
