Nobody pointed it out in the other one and I saw a gauntlet-shaped pothole in the ground over which the discussion appeared to be going 'thump thump thump', at least to my eyes, so I decided I'd fill it by, as it were, throwing down the gauntlet. I'm surprised any of Hubski's female users at the time glossed over it. Has Reddit suddenly made it 'uncool' to a huge population of women to, you know, defend their own interests and not be a huge doormat in the style of Stereotypical Christian Conservative Housewife Brainless Walking Baby Machine? (I blame SRS for this in part, in addition to the just plain misogynist elements on Reddit. I am staunchly feminist, and I hate SRS with a burning, burning passion because they took the fundamental legitimacy of feminism and warped it with their own twisted, bereft-of-reading-comprehension-or-nuance, often logic-free rhetoric - they're playing right into the hands of the right-wingy types and the stereotypes they hold.) kleinbl00's only word on it, in the very linked thread: Justifiably so. kleinbl00, take that badge off my Eurovision post. I don't want one from you.Sooooo much drama from that comment.
I don't ignore it, I just understand the context in which it was written, and the voice in which it was written. Context is everything. You're talking about someone who uses a calloused, fatalistic point of view in an effort to drive home very specific points (in this case - "people, quit playing games - other people, quit allowing people to play games with you"). It's pretty much the literary version of shock Horror to drive home points, or Shock and Awe tactics on a battlefield. Playing "Die Valküre" from Helicopters while shit is blowing up, if you will. Not only does Kleinbl00 use this tactic often, if you read his OTHER posts, it's pretty obvious that he comes from a pretty genuine, caring place. I mean, look at this other comment, from this exact thread. It's Obvious that Kleinbl00 knows that there is complexity and subtlety to life, and his "LISTEN SON, I'VE GOT EVERYTHING FIGURED OUT" voice is for literary effect. I understand that the truth resists simplicity. Perhaps it's time for you to attempt the same. Also, as an aside, saying that "Kelinbl00's name is all over that thread" is only true for the comment thread that he started, and is kind of disingenuous.. If you look at that thread in context of the OP, it's like halfway down the comment thread, with way more problematic things above and below it, and Kleinbl00's pretty vacant.
Saying it gets old is one thing, not recognizing it for what it is is another. You can complain about the tone (in fact, I encourage it. discussion and active engagement is the only way to change the tone of a website you frequent), but You can't willfully misrepresent the content as it is.
For me kleinbloo is the only negative of hubski.
His views are pedestrian to the point of banality. His tone just reddit neckbeard turned up to 11
He pouts he rants he writes 5 paragraph essays about things that don't even require 2 words. He bullies demands site changes belittles anyone who disagrees with any of the tired bullshit he spouts . I have him ignored hushed and whatever that third option is. Still I don't think it okay to drag something he said on reddit a million years ago. Partly because hubski should be a reddit free zone but mostly because why spend time on boring?
