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:

  1. 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
  2. This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
  3. This rule intentionally left blank.
  4. 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

There are too many cat girls! Too many effeminate kitties, and that's no good! We need cat MEN. We need big, burly, sweaty men with whiskers. We need men who aren't afraid to scratch a post once in a while. We need men with 8 packs who aren't afraid to purr.

you have given me an idea for another bad post

if it ends up being badder than you expected, than you only have yourself to blame catgirl-smug

On second thought, I think it's too bad to post seeing as though I am a he/him. If you want the joke tho, here it was:

[CW: Ironic Chuddery, Ironic Misogny]A chud who's so misogynistic he ends up supporting trans rights because he want's all the "females" to go trans masc

On that note, I think I should stop doing irony bad posts.

Just remember "ironic x is still x"

My dad looks almost as hug shaped in cat ears as he does in bear ears. Anyone looks hug shaped as a kitty cat. Hearing a huge guy with whiskers, fur/body hair, and kitty ears purr up a storm would be so neat.

(But I'd still rather hug a catgirl. They seem a little more snuggle shaped, if less likely to give a good squeeze of a hug.)

I did wear cat ears and a little tail to work one Halloween “ironically” (I knew I looked cute and wasn’t going to pass that opportunity); and people seemed to enjoy it for the reasons you laid out (silly big guy kitty)

Yep. The less stereotypically "catgirl" you look in a set of kitty ears, the more silly and funny it ends up being. Especially when you respond to the giggles by meowing.

(And the more you look more like a "bear" than a kitty, the funnier a "big cat" joke will be.)

I try to bring Binturong vibes wherever I go (mostly by smelling like popcorn)

[–] alexei_1917@hexbear.net 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh, is that those bear-cat things? Those are just bloody adorable and I know I will die trying to hug one.

[–] FedPosterman5000@hexbear.net 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Sure is!! Only seen one at a zoo once, but the fact that they smell like popcorn has been lodged in my head for decades

[–] alexei_1917@hexbear.net 3 points 3 weeks ago

I want to hug those cute kitty-bears so much. The fact that they smell like popcorn is just even cuter. Makes the hug even more tempting.
