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

- Anyone who named their kiddo after a GoT character is a turbolib,
-
- giving your kid an "interesting" name is a sign of ~~bourgeois~~ boojwah decadence and malaise,

- and what actually gets my goat as an occluded nerd is that Khaleesi is a title not a name.
D&D did their audience dirty by building up Danaerys as a good girl savior because she was a fan favorite, they knew she would go off the deep end and if they had any guts they would have foreshadowed that more instead of springing it at the end of the series.

I'm torn on this because on the one hand naming someone after a title from a fantasy novel also sets my teeth on edge... But, as I understand it, there is also a history of African-American people giving their children respectful titles - Prince, Queen, etc - as names as a subversive act in response to white supremacy. They may be called all sorts of things by white people but at least every now and again one of them will address your child as a social superior. I'm neither American nor black so I won't claim to be able to speak on the topic but it does seem extremely cool to me.

Can't have a violent revolution it will always end with mass murder just look at stalin and daenarys
I named my daughter "Donkey Kong" and she is the sweetest two year old you've ever met
Dawn Keyes-Khan (hyphenated last name) could work.
Edited it to Khan from Kong. I now have crafted the perfect woman name.
NTA but you can offer her a different name of a liberator as a compromise. Like Joan Brown or Dessalines.
