Why oh why couldn’t I just have left well enough alone? But no. Once again I became the butt of Facepunch. Not surprisingly anyway.
Allow me to explain…
A few days ago, one of the locals in the now named “The Hatdargon megathread! V2” was worshipping porn.
The OP showed up and said he can’t believe the thread has turned so shitty. I stepped in and told them about that you know about these sick perverts posting this shit.
The local defended himself saying he isn’t a sick pervert. So I asked him to prove himself. To not support or post dragon porn.
Soon I had enough and said I would leave the thread and never come back. One of the mods saw this and said that this is the 5th time I did this, and I got laughed at.
But I did my best to stay out, only glancing in it and giving anyone a box (the Dumb rating) when I saw people posting or requesting porn.
Then last night, I got a PM from another local in the thread, saying he misses me posting in it. I explained why I didn’t and he said that he too hated this porn shit. So I thought I finally had a force behind me.
He posted in that thread, saying that it’s not the same as it was without me and another local there.
2-3 hours later, another guy posts in it, requesting dragon porn. And something in my mind snapped. The memories of trying to stop this shit, then having my obsession tossed around like a toy by Postal. It was like I turned into a dragon.
And like a dragon, they fight until their end. And I wasn’t about to let this shit continue for another minute. I had to put a stop to it once and for all.
So I told him to grow up, and continued to defend myself. However I knew I was outnumbered. But I wasn’t going to go down without a fight. I stood my ground. If I get ‘killed in battle’, at least I would go down in honor, instead of in vain. Like a true dragon.
I was about to post something that would surely be my demise, but then another thought came into my head. My depressing side. Telling me this was a waste of time, that you’re just going to get yourself banned or permabanned over it.
Eventually the depressing side won, and I stopped myself from posting it. But the damage to my reputation was already done.
The next day, I knew I would get banned anyway. Instead I wasn’t, and I got three PM’s, with one coming up on my screen with the subject being “Owned”. I have been defeated. Slain even.
But, I’m not shocked anyway. I already knew I was fighting a battle I had no chance of winning.
Anyway, I decided to check the PM’s. One was a PM with the “Owned” title, spamming this link, one was from one of the locals that I said was a sick pervert, and the other was from the mod that I threatened to leave five times.
.
But, in a realistic note, when am I ever going to learn that fighting to stop porn is pointless? They’re just going to do it anyway. And I’m going to get bashed and trashed, then slammed down by Dragon. I’m just one guy. A spec of the entire internet.
Why would anyone wanna listen to one, powerless member? Why do I keep thinking I can make a difference to stop this shit? And why do I take it so seriously?
I wish I had the intelligent answers to these questions, but I don’t.
