Yup. Classical liberal here too, to show how much of a turn-off Gaf's extremism is.

Probably the first time I noticed it was that big brouhaha over Penny Arcade making that hilarious 'raped by the dickwolves' comic strip.

All of a sudden, I witnessed fellow posters that I respected go out of their mind over a funny, harmless comic strip. A dark one to be sure, but that apparently merited a hyperbolic response best compared to 90s parents freaking out that you could shoot someone in a videogame, or music CDs contained swearing.

Weren't we past this? Hadn't society reached the point where it could take a joke, and understand context without screaming it's head off for censorship?

I was a sweet summer child. It only got worse from there.

I always knew the site was so partisan it bordered on parody. Off Topic has always been barely useable because of the smug shitlib contingent. But when I first saw someone type, without irony, "Stay safe" to someone who had merely had their feelings hurt (I'm pretty sure it was an insane "feminist" or tranny), I knew the site was in deep shit. Because very few posters were pointing and laughing at something so absurdly delusional and manipulative.
