badposting is a comm where you post badly
This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.
Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?
Rules:
- Do not post good posts.
- Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
- Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
- This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
- This rule intentionally left blank.
- If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.
Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

See this sort of copypasta always works best when it's written like the layers of an onion: peeling back the layers one by one to gradually reveal the writer's true motives, before building itself back up into an equally ridiculous defense of those true motives. As it stands, unfortunately, this copypasta — though it has its moments — is only the pretense, the façade, the tatemae: it has no clear "crack in the mask" moment, certainly no "burst of the dam" moment, it's setup without a punchline. Which means it's a B rate copypasta at best.
The guy didn't actually want to fuck the bunny cop, that's why it's not as good as you want it to be. This is actually only the main post the guy made, he went on to crash out in multiple additional threads about it. By the end people were unironically telling him that it was a joke and he should leave because the whole thing was clearly causing him a lot of emotional distress, but it didn't really seem to take.
I am aware that it's a verbatim comment by a real person, I'm just saying that if you're going to make it into a copypasta you might as well embellish it — it's already been divorced from its original author.
B-but that would be falsifying the lore!
But honestly I've always felt this bit was kinda mean-spirited, right from the jump, so in all seriousness, I kinda don't like the idea of retroactively vindicating the old sub for its frankly cruel irony-poisoned reaction to the original post.
Yeah, that's fair. I guess I was thinking that if the bit is distanced from its original inspiration that that would make it feel less mean-spirited, but I can also see how doing that could end up having the opposite effect in practice.
