badposting
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

The degree to which I'm willing to excuse unrealistic shit in media depends on the degree to which that media purports to be reflecting reality.
Fantasy stories, yeah whatever magic.
SciFi? Unless you're trying to write a hard SciFi I'm willing to excuse some bizarro tech.
Action or horror film. Eh, I can suspend my disbelief.
Cop shows? I mean considering how cop shows shape people perception of real life cops, yeah I'm gonna scrutinize them a bit more.
Show that's supposed to be about the agency that investigates internal crime within the US Navy? The fact it's gotten so ridiculous seems weird to me.
I think that also applies to extremely fictional stuff, whereas how it says it is vs how it actually is.
Like Harry Potter's magic system, the books act like it's a hard magic system, with laws and rules, but it's one of the softest magic systems ever written, so I'm going to criticize Harry Potter's magic system (you know, in addition to everything else).
