NSFW jcd, you won.

Be Scrooge and post photos of yourself.

Is there an echo in here?

Do you mean Scrooge is Jewish?

i like the brofist, even if guys like JCD abuse it.

it's a simple way to let someone know you approve of their post without clogging the thread with quotes followed by "this".

I agree

I concur.

Scheissefaust bolshevik jcd has once more stirred the hornet's nest, and once more it's the rich and vibrant culture of GD that has to pay the price. Without brofists there will be no one willing to work the lulz fields. Clearly the time has come for GD to secede from the Codex union and pursue our own separate destiny as the Internet's premier RPG discussion site that largely fails to discuss RPGs.

the pro-brofist crowd seem to love trotting this out when their Instagram likes are threatened, but a glance at pre-2012 threads reveals that this was never a significant problem, certainly not any more of one than it is currently in spite of brofists

if anything brofists have possibly brought the tone down by giving positive reinforcement for circle jerks and low-hanging fruit one-liners

the one plus is maybe more funny photoshops

I know it's hard to let go of likes, there's a reason social media is so successful, but are we not better than this?

jcd is a hero.

now excuse me I'm off to take brooding shirtless pics and pics of food for my insta

 

[Zed Duke of Banville]

How about, brofist system only applicable to Gaming Forum ?

You forgot to mention retroactively removing posts and brofists already credited for GD and other invisible forums.

That's not true, I'm posting as regularly, just posting more +1, or or

I disagree.

WTF just happened,I was browsing the Udmunt Liberation Front and was preparing to fap to brofist a photo and I can't anymore?WTF?

[IDtenT]

What's wrong with circle jerks? I'd rather fap with bros standing with their own dicks out beside me than having to wank by myself.

 

[Irenaeus]

Since I can't earn more brofists for posting them in GD anymore, I'll start posting my selfies here:

Tfw you never leave the codex long enough to get more than 50 alerts

Btw: All screenshots taken the same day (that day I was banned for posting the picture below on Site Feedback, I think):

Who's that?

Thanks for ruining my thread, you assholes.

 

[LeStryfe79]

You look great Irens! Have you picked out a tux for the wedding yet?

 

[Zarniwoop]

Do you mean Scrooge is Jewish?

No I mean he copied my joke.

But sure. Why not. Scrooge is Jewish. Screwish.

Typical DU: confiscates Brofisting from GD, but leaves Brofisting in the actual game discussion subforums unmolested, so that people are encouraged to pander by posting popular opinions and can continue to suck each other's cocks for having similar tastes.

Upvotes are extremely cancerous. When Facebook began its meteoric rise to prominence in 2008, Likes suddenly appeared as a feature on virtually every vBulletin and phpBB forum. I tried to fight their addition to Uncover Reality—an erstwhile vBulletin gore forum that I super-moderated at the time—but to no avail. When I founded Goregrish in 2010, I appointed an admin who is far more Internet-savvy than I am, and he (not to mention the entire user base) wanted Likes, so I eventually gave in and allowed it.

DU, you have the cure for cancer available at the push of a button, yet you refuse to use it. Be strong and do what can, should, and must be done: Eliminate Likes, points, and all forms of bogus kudos and tomfoolery. The humor to be had from people who care about such nonsense wore thin years ago.

 

[Norfleet]

Likes are a cancer. You can't have a conversation without disagreement, and if everyone is chasing these imaginary tokens of agreement, you have groupthink, not a conversation. Back in the old days, we had a saying: #-1 CHANNEL (PUBLIC) EXPECT AT LEAST ONE ARGUMENT

I DEMAND YOU STOP THE SARCASTIC BROFISTING IMMEDIATELY!

 

[Space Insect]

I DEMAND YOU STOP THE SARCASTIC BROFISTING IMMEDIATELY!

I must say, I totally agree.

 

[Mustawd]

I DEMAND YOU STOP THE SARCASTIC BROFISTING IMMEDIATELY!

I'd brofist this...but...

 

[Mustawd]

When I founded Goregrish in 2010,

I never understood the appeal of gore. It's truly a strange fetish imo. What do you get out of it Blaine?
