Current You'd think after like 15 years I'd stop feeling like a fraud when writing posts but I still do which is both a statement on my self confidence and a compliment to how good my partners are as writers

Wacky fun times ahead



This was more than a little surprising to be sure - and Sara was almost disappointed that it wasn't some sort of robbery-slash-hostage situation; how often did those happen to the every day person? Sure she had heard of the demi-human thing, or as it was known among people she knew the 'monster in the closet system' (and that was one of the more..friendly terms used) but she hadn't signed up for it. As far as she knew the people that willingly participated were in need of some extra living expenses or else had some other, often more private reasons for doing so. Sara didn't especially need the extra money given her spending habits consisted mostly of perishable goods and electric bills with the extra being used for her collection and supplies, and no matter what people assumed or knew about Sara the nature of her particular interests didn't necessitate demi-humans.

"There must be some mistake," Sara shook her head, the unkempt strands sliding along her forehead, "I didn't sign up for-wait I don't have a perversion!" Though she protested to the agent, in actuality she was protesting to air as the suited man had left without so much as an instructional manual. That her face was still blushing red at the mention of her non-existent perversion was a fact lost on her.

Sara took a glance at the two guests - now residents - and then at the room they were all standing in. The front room, or the living room, was fairly spartan. A simple couch that could sit four, a television atop a stand which contained various books and film cases. A coffee table inbetween couch and television with the only thing on there being a half-full tray of various nuts, almonds, pecans, walnuts, things for the rare guest to be tricked into thinking Sara had people over often enough. On the wall were various pieces of art, none of which cost more than thirty dollars and only two of which were done by Sara herself - they were the two that stood out and didn't fit with the aesthetic of the other pieces which were countryside and seaside scenes. The kitchen was connected to the living room and the kitchen itself was connected to the dining room. The hall to the left was Sara's territory with her bedroom with connected bathroom, and her work room across the way. The hall to the right was currently being used as storage, but it had a bathroom and a bedroom as well.

Sara was quite glad she kept a mostly spartan life since the house was shockingly clean. She might've been easily absorbed into whatever went down in her work room, but she wasn't living in a pigsty and she was shockingly hygienic in that she took regular showers. This was likely not her best first impression but in her defense she had no idea to expect something like this.

"Uhm..." Sara blinked and stared blankly as Niyo spoke; Sara had Japanese ancestry on her mother's side but she wasn't exactly fluent conversationally yet. She had once thought to take the proficiency exam but her hobby got the better of her at a crucial moment. "I'm...Sara Kimoto. I...didn't know you were coming...uh..." This was awkward. Did host families prepare speeches? Wait, did Niyo have a second voice? Sara turned her eyes to the one who called herself Yoki. Sara lurched forward, her fingers gripping the back of the couch to keep herself from fainting in delight. "P..P...Pet?" Her blush increased, and her expression morphed from panic and confusion to utter joy. Surely signs of the 'perversion' the agent mentioned. "M...Miss Yoki...how wonderful...Did you hear that, Lighty? P...P...Pet! Is there anything you need Miss Yoki? Come in, come in, both of you!"

Maybe this wouldn't be so bad for Sara.
I'll have somethin up by Thursday
Rowan'll probably get along maybe possibly who knows
@SleepingSilence You have this habit of being passive aggressive when you're trying to drop something. You have to be aware you're doing it, right? Is that the thing? You dangle a piece of bait wrapped around the notion of 'Well let's just drop it okay' which is a pretty suspect thing to do. You should maybe stop doing that. If nothing else it'll make you seem like a more willing participant in a discussion like this instead of someone who drops the victim card as soon as your side is challenged back.

For the record, I did read your second paragraph. It doesn't excuse or overwrite the first paragraph.

For the second record,

Someone who enjoys to bait me, baited me.


You weren't baited. You literally did the thing I mentioned in my first paragraph here.

For the third record, this isn't semantics.

It can't be passive aggressive, because it wasn't even directed at anyone specifically. <.<

You Posted This


That statement (in red) is passive aggressive
You Posted This Too


Why is mine passive aggressive but yours not? Yours, of course, being
I saw a lot of strawman walking on by, so I clearly missed nothing


Now we're gonna get into semantics. But my comment didn't reference or allude to anyone specifically in this thread but rather a broad stroke joke at the expense of a specific type of group. You implied that people posting in this thread frequently do little more than strawman. You might not have named any names specifically but because your comment specifically mentioned you peeking into this thread it implies that you're talking about people that post here regularly. You don't have to name names for it to come off as passive aggressive bullshit which is why Dynamo did the whole thing of, you know, suggesting you don't do that.

On the whole your particular manner of posting tends to color discussions with you a particular way. Which is why I'd really suggest you tone down the whole stuff like this:

If you actually read my paragraph long comment, it would've been clear. [...] And if this somehow become 6 different replies in my inbox, I'll be done discussing with you as well. [...] Now back to anime. Have a good rest of your afternoon.


Since we're all generally civil here and stuff like this just makes you come off as, well, as kind of a passive aggressive douche. For clarification, I'm not calling you that.

Also you shouldn't expect discourse, if you speak primarily in shitposting. -.-


I don't speak primarily in shitpost. As has been demonstrated various times when the need arises I'm able to be civil and serious. This was one of those times, hence why discourse was expected.
@vFear Nah, I don't mind; though my post probably won't be up until like tomorrow. Possibly tonight.
Go ahead and pretend sexist generalizations aren't passive aggressive or things used in strawman arguments. Fine. Just don't bother me when I point it out as such.


I'm not saying generalizations aren't used as strawmans - or at least people like to spout it all over the place. I'm saying that my post wasn't a strawman because it doesn't even fit the definition of the term. You're pointing out something that ISN'T an example as a means of suggesting that it WAS an example. The reason you didn't see Dynamo comment on it is because A: He had the context for the comment and B: He understood that it was said in jest. My comment wasn't aimed at anyone in this thread. It's what is commonly referred to as 'a joke'. Now the humor of it is up for debate but it remains that it was not a stance or an argument or anything political. To answer your question: No. No one expected you or anyone to respond to it in a serious matter.

You get on us for not reading but you couldn't be bothered to look up and get the context for the post?

If anyone got offended by that particular comment, well then perhaps I struck a nerve and what's that say about them.

Why can't my statements be considered shitposts and left alone?


Dunno, man. Why can't mine?

I know why. But neither of you have a legit reason for it.


If you made a shitpost I would leave it alone. Shit, man, I didn't even know this was happening until I got tagged in like a wrasslin' match. Please don't say that the reason your statements can't be left alone is a victim thing because we've been down that road and it's not the case. It's really hard to consider your statements as shitposts when you get so offensive about things (read: my statement) and then get upset when we respond and call you out on them. If it's some long form trolling then it's really not working. You come off as being rather serious in your indictments here.

Which is why we don't consider your statements shitposts.

Off topic, but did you really have to make that 3 separate posts? Spam me much? <.<


It was two because you edited a post while I made mine and I'm a rebel who doesn't like the edit feature anyway.

And if this somehow become 6 different replies in my inbox, I'll be done discussing with you as well.


See this is the level of discourse I've come to expect.
<Snipped quote by SleepingSilence>

Also shitposting, doesn't not make it a strawman. It just means you used a fallacy/stereotype/generalization in jest.


The fact that there wasn't an argument presented and that there wasn't a debate going on when I made that comment makes it not a strawman. I wasn't strawmanning. I was literally shitposting in response to whatever it was.
This baiting is beyond pathetic


you guys just play stupid so often I can't imagine it not affecting your real IQ levels.


You wanna be the Pot or the Kettle here?
