You know, at first I thought "maybe you're right, maybe the folks at wizardchan are not as bad as they seem." Out of curiosity I decided to take a little stroll through wizardchan and guess what I found?

I don't think we have any business flooding that space and commenting. It's a safe place for members of a select community who clearly rely on that space and one another for support. I respect that.

I went over to that thread discussing the killing spree and I regret it profoundly.

Is Milonov seriously arguing that Wurst is making Eurovision less classy? Did he think it was a bastion of taste and refinement before? Because if so, I have some questions.

If buttsex is so unnatural, then why is poop dick-shaped?

I think the "daughters, sisters and wives" part was an attempt to get your average 'Merican dude out of their own head and thinking about assault in terms of how it could affect someone he loves. Many people here have a much larger vocabulary to support discussions about sexual assault, and a much more nuanced…

I went on a whale watch in Maine with my family when I was like thirteen (and thus easily embarrassed). Welp, the waves were more than almost everyone on board could handle and the whole boat became a giant puke machine as literally like 95% of the passengers and crew started barfing, into barf bags or wherever it…

Blugh, except plants have shown remarkable abilities in communication, awareness, and even nurturing.

It is ridiculous because she is using that term to bring to mind rape culture and the marginalization of women, implying that she is similarly discriminated against because she's a vegetarian (which she flat-out said later in the thread). To compare servers rolling your eyes at you to the systematic, global oppression…

I feel like I start every post like this so I'll make it the last time... I love in Europe (ok, got that out) and the biggest shock is no one wears gloves at all. If your order a baguette, it will be picked up and wrapped in paper by the same person who was sweeping the floor when you walked in and who you just saw…

It also does absolutely nothing for the safety of the customers. Gloves aren't magically germ-resistant. If anything, it only really protects the chefs from germs, which isn't a concern.

My first thought was to dismiss this because it's really dumb, but then my second thought was to just let you get pilloried for it because it's dumb.

Gloves make cooking less safe, not safer. You need to be able to sense temperature so you don't burn yourself, when something is slippery so you don't drop it, and to handle knives and food securely so you don't cut yourself when chopping. Gloves impair your sense of touch and make it more dangerous. Glove wearers are…

I'm a pantry cook & I do not feel as though it would be safe for me to be wearing gloves all the time...I have to do lots of very high-speed slicing & dicing & I would not feel safe putting a glove on my right hand (the one I use to hold my knife.) I want to have a very secure grip on my knife at all times.

The list goes on and on.

Or maybe, you know, he finds her smart and attractive and interesting and those two grown adults greatly enjoy each others' company. Anything's possible.

This is my favourite part:

I believe the buzz word Jezebel uses to describe what you just did is "concern trolling". Parents shouldn't leave their children to scour the internet alone unless they are prepared for them to see porn. Your rational for not wanting my little porny can be used against any sort of fan fic porn/dinosaur/sasquatch…
