Ah yes, the new series. Star Trek: Everyone Is Beautiful - No Uglies Allowed
Wow. It was a joke and y'all took it so seriously. I had no idea this community was so toxic. Good job for making sure I won't participate in this community again.
Edit: I'm not toxic, you're toxic! Screw you guys, I quit.
I'm toxic cause I made a joke at no-one's expense and got a severely disproportionately adverse reaction?
What does your comment here even add to this community? You're just needlessly punching at someone because they made a joke people didn't agree with which insulted no one. My joke, while many people didn't like it, still got people to talk about star trek and add to the participation of the community. On the other hand, your comment just adds needless vitriol and has nothing to do with star trek.
To me, it's very clear that this community, with your help, exudes toxicity. I just wanted to join in on having fun with star trek and got downvoted to hell for it and comments at my expense. Even comments like yours which only add toxicity to the community are being rewarded with upvotes.
I'm mildly interested to hear how that is not solid evidence of a toxic community, but not from someone who immediately jumped to kick me while I'm down because I called out the community for their toxic behavior nor the people who would reward such behavior.
You asking others what their comment adds when you've been ranting and raving a day after you claimed you wouldn't participate here is telling.
As you condescendingly told the guy who didn't properly screenshot his /c/privacy issue last week, "You can do better in the future".
It's not and you have provided no reasoning as to why. Saying things out loud does not make them true. Am I wrong in wanting to defend my claim that I am experiencing needless toxicity in this community with reasoning and logic?
I just threw out a harmless joke and got rude replies thrown back into my face which were supported by others. I called out that toxic behavior and got even more toxic responses which also garnered support by the community. Some of the toxic comments were deleted. Here's one that OP deleted (I wonder why):
I have a small amount of optimism that by pointing out this toxicity and backing up my claims may lead to an improvement in the future, or as you quoted me saying before "You can do better in the future". Then again, maybe not and I could be wasting my time, but I think should at least try.
There are far better uses of your time than white-knighting perceived toxicity in such a tame thread. It's not even your thin skin or this supposed disagreement in what's toxic and what isn't that gets me.
It's your blatant hypocrisy in an "I'm taking my ball and going home" style statement only to write paragraph after paragraph of self-serving bullshit afterwards, calling a community out and THEN trying to justify your actions in post after post. If you'd just left and not gone edit/response wild, we'd be done long ago...but I think you just NEED to get the last word. We'll bud, it's all yours, we're moving on.
