[QUOTE=SenhorCreeper;46648934]So a festival exploits something so you receive a text from "Mum", and thats somehow a good thing? Grow up FP[/QUOTE] Most people seem to agree that it's a very bad idea, for several reasons It's just that the thread also houses a select few socially incompetent morons who likes to scream "SJW" at everyone and everything

[QUOTE=Crash155;46648945]I was on your side until you started slinging that "paedophile dogfucker xD" shitpost shit[/QUOTE] "I was on your side until you started talking about your opinion" How dare him, have different views and opinions that aren't yours!

[QUOTE=Lachz0r;46648920]are you some incredibly passive person that never reacts to anything no matter how it affects you?[/QUOTE] I wouldn't consider myself incredibly passive. But I try not to get upset. If I was a reactive person, I'd be like this: [t]http://www.desktopbackgrounds.me/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Super-Depressed-Toon-Wallpaper.png[/t]

[QUOTE=SenhorCreeper;46648963]"I was on your side until you started talking about your opinion" How dare him, have different views and opinions that aren't yours![/QUOTE] No, I agree with his opinion but the paedophile/dogfucker shit has nothing to do with this

I don't like to generalize a group of people (in this case, a lot of people on facepunch) but no matter what, every time there is a thread where a general bad thing happens to someone, when the good and bad, right and wrong are clearly seen, someone will ALWAYS, and I mean [B]ALWAYS[/B] try to look at it from another angle. Even when there isn't one. And it always be something totally ridiculous and cause a shitstorm. I mean Christ I get that you don't want to generalize an opinion of something 100% but god dammit just agree on something for once.

[QUOTE=SenhorCreeper;46648963]"I was on your side until you started talking about your opinion" How dare him, have different views and opinions that aren't yours![/QUOTE] What does the WTYO have to do with anything, though? Or was Kardia one of the few people who wanted it to stay?

[QUOTE=Crash155;46648945]I was on your side until you started slinging that "paedophile dogfucker xD" shitpost shit[/QUOTE] are you pretending there isn't a massive undercurrent of support for pedophiles here? look at the threads about women having sex with boys, or guys getting arrested for loli porn, or 22 year olds fucking 15 year olds, oh wait you were in that thread defending the guy you have people consistently defending stuff like this but then you get all the sweet dudes out here mocking actual things and it's like lmfao this forum

[QUOTE=Crash155;46649027]Oh look, it's CheeseMan Sorry dude, but none of the shit you're talking about has to do with this topic[/QUOTE] The fact that JWJ probably got more sympathy from dudes like you than this event here is pretty telling about not only the topic at hand and this community's perception of it but also the forum as a whole, actually.

[QUOTE=Crash155;46649027]Oh look, it's CheeseMan Sorry dude, but none of the shit you're talking about has to do with this topic Nor was I defending a 22yo dating a 15yo[/QUOTE] How about you stop being a closet pedophile and actually go and seek help? do you really think there's nothing wrong? [editline]6th December 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=SenhorCreeper;46649041]You registered half a hour ago[/QUOTE] What is your point?

[QUOTE=CheeseMan;46649044]The fact that JWJ [/QUOTE] Literally who

Are we seriously going to start actively talking about "damn pedos and dogfuckers" in a thread like this?

[QUOTE=Skerion;46649065]Are we seriously going to start actively talking about "damn pedos and dogfuckers" in a thread like this?[/QUOTE] That seems like the most productive thing that could possibly result from this thread at this point. We might get more pedos/dogfuckers banned, that's always nice.

[QUOTE=Crash155;46649082]Who's alt are you?[/QUOTE] I'm nobody's alt, I just lurk the forum. Stop shifting the subject, are you going to go and seek help or not?

[QUOTE=Poutine;46649096]I'm nobody's alt, I just lurk the forum. Stop shifting the subject, are you going to go and seek help or not?[/QUOTE] Says "stop shifting the subject" regarding Crash155's alleged pedophilia, while on a thread that is about dirty marketing tactics. Hmm...

[QUOTE=Kardia;46649132]Says "stop shifting the subject" regarding Crash155's alleged pedophilia, while on a thread that is about dirty marketing tactics. Hmm...[/QUOTE] He shifted the subject to this

[QUOTE=c:;46648654]That person's e-mail was heart-breaking[/QUOTE] Just to put this in perspective, whenever I have a good dream where I get something or someone that I cant have by my side or with me in my life, and then wake up and find out it was all a "lie", the day is instantly ruined. Imagine if it was something like the person in the email... Actually, dont, that sounds like it might actually short ones lifespan with sadness alone.

[QUOTE=CheeseMan;46649044]is pretty telling about not only the topic at hand and this community's perception of it but also the forum as a whole, actually.[/QUOTE] I personally think it's pretty weird of someone to start talking about things like this in a thread that has literally nothing to do with it I mean, not that I disagree with you, but just why

[QUOTE=Rixxz2;46649144]I personally think it's pretty weird of someone to start talking about things like this in a thread that has literally nothing to do with it[/QUOTE] Crash was the one who brought up the dog fuckers in the first place, what does cheeseman have to do with this?

[QUOTE=Poutine;46649150]Crash was the one who brought up the dog fuckers in the first place, what does cheeseman have to do with this?[/QUOTE] I'm just saying, and Chesty was the one who brought it up for some reason

[QUOTE=Poutine;46649150]Crash was the one who brought up the dog fuckers in the first place, what does cheeseman have to do with this?[/QUOTE] no he wasn't? this was the first post with "dogfuckers and pedos" in it: [QUOTE=ChestyMcGee;46648840]i have empathy for dogfuckers and pedophiles and believe this forum should be a place for posting our porn fantasies but fuck any loser who gets upset by the death of their mother. fucking pc-brigade at it again[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Kardia;46648906]People will probably be fired as a result of this backlash. Do they deserve that?[/QUOTE] uh yeh 100%

[QUOTE=Rocâ„¢;46649143]whenever I have a good dream where I get something or someone that I cant have by my side or with me in my life, and then wake up and find out it was all a "lie",[/QUOTE] Yeah that's life sometimes. [QUOTE=Rocâ„¢;46649143]the day is instantly ruined.[/QUOTE] Bit of an overreaction.

[QUOTE=Bumrang;46649180]no he wasn't? this was the first post with "dogfuckers and pedos" in it:[/QUOTE] He was the one who actually started the convo about it (aka shifting the subject) [highlight](User was permabanned for this post ("gimmick alt" - Orkel))[/highlight]

While the text message seems pretty pointless to me considering that I usually never check advertisements as text messages, I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that they were trying to intentionally upset anyone who may have lost their mom, and it was just something that they overlooked, unfortunately. Then again, you've got that one boss who tweeted and called all those people jars of Marmite, so I don't know, it would have been a good idea not to have tweeted that, at the very least.
