we have some toxic interactions, j guess, but we're probably way less toxic than the average forum because we've mostly all been together for years at this point.
I like to think most of us have some kind of Stockholm Syndrome for each other. Even with someone like Vlado, who I find almost constantly frustrating at this point, there's a little bit of affection underneath the toxicity.

If I want toxicity, I'll go to OT.

Here's not that bad if you know what topics to avoid.

Also, weren't you saying that you got in some trouble with the law? Did that end up going ok?

I think there are a few toxic personalities roaming around but this board is no where near the toxicity of some other boards like CE for example.

Here you may get some folks that are overly passionate about their interactions but there (imo) the overwhelming majority are into trolling around.

it's possible to be conservative without being shockingly awful to the point of not seeming real

there's a select handful of conservatives on the board that don't understand that

100% accurate, but it's true for this entire site.


Not WWE... granted that might be the worst board on this site (and maybe the internet in general) for different reasons, but they aren't ultra liberal.

every time I come back to this board it looks super toxic

But then I get used to all the characters' schticks and it becomes fun again

There are a few people I worry aren't trolling, but that's kind of the charm of this place

We don't have our sdraggonrockers anymore, so now we have to make due with our vlados

We like to argue about things. We're all here because we like arguing- passionately- about which video game character is the coolest.

it would be nice if we could go back to being about forum games, but nobody has the time and creativity for it anymore

I don't recall any conservatives leaving but we did have some insane and troubled people leave who on other boards could have easily been radicalized into terrorists

This board is a god damn quarantine zone, providing much-needed uncertainty to these impressionable people

but we are extremely cruel to those who don't know how to post here like a "board 8er" and I've seen this board drive off new users time and time again after a contest.

Eh, I feel like this aspect is overblown. It might have been true when we were all stupid teenagers, but I don't really feel like this happens anymore.

partly because we don't get new users anymore

I ran off that fake Nick.

Also as a mostly conservative person, I gotta say I don't find it toxic at all.

Probably because i don't discuss politics here and don't care if someone is left, right or whatever.
