I respectfully disagree with your implied disagreement.
Fair enough.
Call me 想φαγω.
Spoiler:
Things started going back to politics when Gau kickstarted this discussing on evil and when Gau's went kinda political on karens a fews posts back on the previous page talking about privilege and whatnot.
In short, it's almost always Gau's fault for steering the discussion to a political tone.
Spoiler:
I’ll concede to this. I was pretty much just parroting what I’ve heard about C_V, but I’ll admit that it’s been a while since I’ve read over it so I’m also a broken telephone at this point. Though I don’t know what frusty means. Sounds negative, but I’d like to think my days of starting shit are behind me and that I can facetiously call myself an insensate ragemonster as a self-deprecating joke.
Maybe C_V isn’t evil and is just cruel. I suppose cruelty could be considered evil, but it isn’t quite synonymous.
I can get behind this.
As the son of a man who spent literally months of my childhood doing exactly that, I can confirm that this is an irrefutable fact.
You can quote me on this, but I will vehemently deny all proof suggesting that I am not a for-real dragon because my whacked-out class-clown-mentality demands it of me.
No it’s not. You were the one who pulled us back into politics. Please, you have to stop. Just… before you post, just look it over and try to present the same message without being political. I know this can be difficult. I live in an extremely political household, and it was at the forefront of my life for years and still is, but I turn that off when I’m here because I want to get away from it.
Something, something, Sakura.

I'm sorry, but I refuse to be apolitical because that's still making a choice, and whenever shit comes up that concerns my personal morality, you bet like hell it'll get political. For some shit, you're literally asking the impossible. Could I tone it down a little? Possibly. Could I stop? No.
If you can't have self-awareness at least have some humour and post something funny instead.
Okay, uh, I can see where this can lead. If we all start saying that, even if we all only have the best intentions, it’ll start to sound like we’re attacking Gau due to the buildup of negativity, when we just want to express a point. We should probably stop adding/agreeing with each other once someone says a thing regarding his posts.

I feel pretty self-aware, and sure, I could post funny shit outside this topic.

It's also funny because pretty much every debate in this forum about the themes of TM and the Nasuverse is inherently political, yet nobody seems to acknowledge it for what it is.
Look, you don’t have to be apolitical, but you could stand to tone it down a lot. Save it for the moment that someone says something that actually is unacceptable. If abs when such a time comes, feel free to take the appropriate measures to have them removed, but not before then.
You also still need to adjust your tone to be less confrontational. I really hope that I sound more anxious than angry, because I’m trying really hard to avoid an angry tone in my messages.
I agree with virtually everything you’ve said here, but this is not a political forum. TM material might have political undertones, but that doesn’t mean we need to talk about them, that’ll just create unnecessary division in the community.

I guess we can somewhat agree there, but when it comes up, it comes up. I have not been the sole instigator, and some have been fairly civil.
Also, I can feel the anxiety in your posts, and I'm not a monster, so I'll let up.
Gau, when will you learn that everybody may or may not know about the politicality of the Nasuverse, but none of us want to get into it because everybody knows it's a waste of time to argue about politics in the internet?

Very true.
Well, it’s not necessarily a waste of time, but it usually is, and when it isn’t, it usually still takes days and causes an inordinate amount of stress just to come to a peaceful resolution, so… uh…
…okay, I just savagely murdered the point I thought I was trying to make.
Thank you. I appreciate that. However, if it’s you who pulls it back, even if it was there already and being ignored, I won’t be able to stay in your corner. Maybe just avoid mentioning left or right at least?

Sometimes I can't help it because it feels relevant. Also, I'm just trying to get my ideas out there, not necessarily win arguments because that's annoying. I suppose I, like the numerous righties on here, barely couch my political opinions in TM analysis.

Alright. As a favor to an online friend and the guy who brought me here, I'll give it a really good shot.
I’ll count that as a win.
Though, I had forgotten that I brought you here. Was it my fanfics, or something else?
