Haha, this thread always devolves into sex talk. It is its default topic.

I confess that forgiving strangers on the internet seems silly to me when you can just block them and never deal with them again. I don't see how people can think that's so wrong. Why deal with people who have shown that they can't be trusted in the first place....urgh it reeks of naivety.

:p A lot of people don't forgive though. They do it very seldom...but if you don't forgive someone they want you to, they like to talk about how nice forgiveness is.

I agree. The only time I would forgive someone over the internet is when I've known them awhile. But I'm not usually inclined to do that even. Gotta be real careful of when to do that.

Haha, you're far too positive for me. Humorously, I can never believe people who are always saying stuff like "be positive," and "let's all be friends!" I think I'll stick to my skeptical nature~

It's easier to block someone and deny their existence than it is to forgive them, so it's not surprising most people take the former route on the internet. I'm not going to preach, but consider this - forgiveness isn't just about the person asking for it.

We live in a shitty world, but I remain optimistic because it's all I have.

Ieono! Can we start a club of misanthropy?! We can criticize the simplistic nature of most of humanity as they wallow in their own mistakes, and listen to Dashboard Confessional! :D

Asshole: Forgive me, bitch!

Girlfriend: It is one of humanity's greatest virtues...I think I lost a tooth.

I lol'd hard... because I've been on the receiving end of that situation from other loved ones.

I'll say it again, it is a shitty world!

:p I have too. But I have enough respect for myself not to associate with such toxic folk nowadays.

I agree that forgiveness is a good thing, however I do feel there are a few things that are unforgivable. There's at least one person I will never forgive, 'til my grave.

Forgiveness incorporates all other virtues; to truly forgive somebody you must possess understanding/empathy for others, patience, humility, diligence to forgive despite your anger, and kindness.
And yes, I believe that anybody can and should be forgiven, that's not to say that we shouldn't forego a punishment of just severity to their crimes.

I don't mean to detract from the discussion at hand, but I have something to confess.
This weekend I was at a furry convention, one night while dancing with a friend I was randomly approached and groped by a stranger in a fursuit, I acted appalled by it when aroundy friends, but truth be told I've been so lonely that I feel an attraction for that stranger. So much so in fact that I used a picture of the suit to find his account. Then I found out that he has sex in the same suit he wore when he was all over me and I was turned off, but still...
I've hit a new low.

See avatar for reaction.


But seriously, I don't understand loneliness and why it's so rampant in this fandom. At least the online side of it all.


Or maybe the minority speaks louder than the majority in this case.

This is a fandom riddled with social anxiety and body image issues, it's not that difficult to put the pieces together...

But the question being: Why?

I think its a stereotype that the fandom cloaks itself in inadvertently. As to why this is, who knows. But what I know for sure, this is the case for any fandom on any part of the internet. And with the resources the net gives you, the only people who'd be hiding under a rock, social wise, are creeps.


I dunno about you, but I don't even understand what the Croc I'm talking about.



Is it really that hard to communicate? Damn, maybe its cause I took so much lunch money from scrubs. dang.

It's settled then. Go club Misanthropy! ☺

I confess I am often self-righteous in the idea of how much happier I am than others whilst owning much less.

Edit: SHIT! I am on fire! :shock:

Hmmm....I wouldn't call myself a misanthrope at all. I just like joking about the poor state of humanity, but in all seriousness I wish to live my life to improve upon it. I just doubt people who spout rhetoric like "virtues are the way!" will be the ones changing anything.

And yes, this too shall pass. I think in like 50 posts or something, haha
