If thou gazest long into the Pit, the Pit will also gaze into thee

... I know the reason for my emotional response but I would never seek to avoid them or ask that they never be shown. It is my issue and not anyone else's. Following that road means sterile discussions and debates. Not something I have any interest in. That's over-stated. Avoiding or minimizing enc...

.. I'm sure plenty of people on here have had much, much worse experiences, but they still manage to function in society without expecting life to carry trigger warnings. Well, first it depends on the individual and how severe and recent the trauma was. Blanket generalizations don't apply. And seco...

[quote="J.D." Up until a few weeks ago I thought there were no images that could trigger me. I was wrong. After seeing a trojan horse PETA ad, I've never been so fucking angry and upset at anything as much as I was at the ad's makers or the sick fucks they portrayed. I think I saw the same ad you d...

Its something she needs to be discussing with a psychiatrist, and considering her unrealistic expectations of others, I doubt she is doing that. THAT is unfortunate,... .

Completely depends on whether they were predictable or not. Why would she have an expectation of seeing graphic images...

... No shit. This sort of behavior is going to turn her into someone afraid to leave the house eventually. The outside world is full of stimuli beyond one's control. Adding every new unpleasant experience to a list of things that absolutely must be avoided will destroy your life and ability to func...

BWAHAHAHA. That's some funny shit right there.

At least in feminist spaces, 'safe space' policy often includes things about anti-harrassment and triggering images. It was mainly his tone which seemed really trivalising for something that is a real concern for many people. Thanks for coming by and clarifying your position. I think you misunderst...

... Yes. Every place I go on the 'net regarding A/S topics, Oolon the Asshat is there. Usually whining "slymepit this" or "slymepit that". One day...just one day I'd like to go to different forums/sites and not see his sniveling crap. Don't let him get to you. Oolon only deserves mockery and ridicu...

Reading my feed, say Hemant's piece on the AA legal suit. Saw Matt and Co rush to defend their buddy by any means necessary. I did see that Matt is following Becky's lead - pink beard? WTF? Is he going through his midlife crisis as well? All he needs now is hipster glasses. http://img823.imageshack...

@JustAtheist Cheers and thanks, good to read that someone actually reads the wall of garbled texts I produce on occasion. :D You often post interesting & useful analysis, Aneris.

#SilvermanMustDenounce - Can we get this hashtag going? :o Justin, I fully appreciate the SHIT you have had to put up with recently. But my word of advice to you is that when someone dishes your ass hard core as was recently done. .... I agree Silverman took him to the woodshed, but it was Dave who...

https://twitter.com/AmandaMarcotte/status/346760278924472321 I find the tacit assertion by Marcotte that she herself has "intellectual chops" to be laughable. Also, Rebecca Watson wouldn't know clever if it swam up her urethra like a Candiru. Oh now they're so deep into how much they don't care at ...

Another gay man here who thinks it's a riot.
Is it bad that I also find the Al version oddly sexy?

As a straight man, I have no problem admitting Al is a cool looking dude.

Not to be a prude, but what exactly is being ridiculed here, incest or gay sex? Nothing. It's just kinda fucked up and therefore funny. And quintessentially representative of the Pit: Fucked up, shocking, provocative and irreverent. A work of genius. There were only two people I was hoping would wi...
