because if you go into highly sanitized communities in which everyone is supposed to get along and share the same groupthink opinion, you'll eventually get tired of them. unreal strikes me as the type of person who dislikes those types of highly sanitized communities

im an outsider but i assume most modern furry communities are like that

It would seem then that the best strategy for any group would be to use free speech to get power, and then silence its opponents.
Yes. This only works the one time however. The liberasts that were responsible for preaching such freedoms were always a vanguard for the people who now has power. They will not fall for their own tricks. They know their ideas do not hold majority popular support. They do not care to engage in fair debate. There is no second switch around.
Whereas in the past different ideas dominated, but whoever was in charge still allowed the opposition free speech.
Were they an actual opposition? Either they were approved of or the leadership did not have convictions one way or the other. If you have convictions you put them into practice and enforce them if needed.
It's easy to imagine a vicious cycle where the group that is disenfranchised now will eventually take power and clamp down on the free speech of the former power-holders even harder.
Nothing bad about that, it would be dumb to make the same mistake twice in a row. Man is supposed to be a learning animal.

Indeed, ㅤㅤㅤ:
Political freedom is an idea but not a fact. This idea one must know how to apply whenever it appears necessary with this bait of an idea to attract the masses of the people to one's party for the purpose of crushing another who is in authority. This task is rendered easier of the opponent has himself been infected with the idea of freedom, SO-CALLED LIBERALISM, and, for the sake of an idea, is willing to yield some of his power. It is precisely here that the triumph of our theory appears; the slackened reins of government are immediately, by the law of life, caught up and gathered together by a new hand, because the blind might of the nation cannot for one single day exist without guidance, and the new authority merely fits into the place of the old already weakened by liberalism.
But they go on to say:
The word "freedom" brings out the communities of men to fight against every kind of force, against every kind of authority even against God and the laws of nature. For this reason we, when we come into our kingdom, shall have to erase this word from the lexicon of life as implying a principle of brute force which turns mobs into bloodthirsty beasts.
Liberalism always was merely a foot in the door. The shape of what they want to come is ultimate tyranny, not democracy.

Furries, or any members of general ‘communities’, are the dumbest fucks who ever lived. Everyone on the internet is just a drama-generating NPC, and they have no taste and no knowledge of anything. What's the point in that?
t. dumbfuck furry with no taste and no knowledge of anything

I just want to play games and watch anime.
If this was the case you wouldn't feel the need to present yourself as a cringey furfag
So what do I really have in common with such people?
You mean besides furfagging?

Also, interesting how most ‘LOL FURFAG’ insults I've gotten were from new users who've barely posted... makes you think.
What does it make you think? Whats more likely is you are just trying to minimize the opinions of others because that's your final cope.

I don't draw or commission or wear fursuits or go to furry conventions or do anything, really. So what do I really have in common with such people? They can't even into metaphysics..
Then why do you use a furry avatar and tell people stuff about you being a furfag? No one would know or care if you never told anyone and I don't think anyone here wants to know anyway. It's attention seeking faggotry. How gross would it be if I started talking about how much I love redheads and Japanese creampie porn? Its the same thing. No one wants to know about your sick fetish.

Look at yourself codexer, see how you tremble when I make the most minimum effort to mess with you, see how you cry as I move only a nanometre forward towards your free speech and suggest you are a mere ant when compared to me.

All of you will swing on the gallows pole.

RPG discussions are interesting and fun. Slurring is not for either side. If it is fun for one of the sides, it means that trolling or hate is in progress. Free speech does not condone hate. Trolling is as I have understood one of the parts of being a codexian. We can. Deciding whether RPG discussions are more fun than trolling or the other way around is the topic of this thread. So come on guys/gals, leave it for me.

call me crazy but one aspect of true personal freedom is feeling no negative emotions when someone insults you on the internet
That's not freedom, that's a walking dead. What kind of living person not feeling negative emotions when some motherfucker insult them on the Net?

No, true personal freedom is you being able to insult someone on the Net knowing that if that bugger feeling mad enough, he can hire hacker to trace your ass follow the line and hire a lithuanian hitman for your head.

Free speech is retarded,people should accept social norms and enforce them,not allowing retarded degenerates to do what they want. SJWs exist because of free speech,they are evolution of liberals. Free speech always leads to the same cultural and political decline. You could clearly see it,in all the nations that embrace free speech you see the same problems. Also most people that want free speech are the weak people. I am for strength guarantees free speech. If someone comes to your house and begins breaking your fingers one by one,you will get in line really fast. It is just hypocritical whining of the weak. If you are strong you won't care about that shit lol. So in the end you just want other people to defend your shitposting because you are too weak.

Are you sure you didn't mean cultural decay and softening that increased tolerances towards certain groups, deviants or weaklings of any kind? It was lack of free speech that gave them real power. They had no-one to say NO without fear of consequences, that's what political correctness entails - bad consequences to whoever is out of line. It used to be a social contract more than a legal one. Those who you can't criticize rule over you, their way into power was first paved with pity, now fear as legal ramifications came into play. It sounds like your ideal society isn't much better than what US has now, instead of clownworld they'd have a conservative dictatorship. But no free speech there, whopee.

Not really,loved by your people and feared by your enemies. Why sohuld XI care

Yeah, aren't all dictators "loved" by the people.

The world does not need bullies, it needs proper judgement, which said bullies will be subject to themselves. To say otherwise is to be a fool. Stop cucking for your own brand of degeneracy troolololololololmao
Bullying is one of the most important forms of social influence. When bullying is discouraged, freaks like yourself begin to start thinking it's okay to be a weird faggot.

It's not.

Bullying works well when a relatively homogeneous community wants to preserve its heritage.

In this community, RPGs were what brought us together regardless of our differences. We grew up playing them because they were fun. What's been happening lately is different. Modern RPGs are being designed to offer acceptance fantasies to fringe minorities. These groups are being deliberately catered to, by design, as a marketing segment. Apparently there was an enormous latent appetite for idpol LARPing grounds, and our hobby has been hijacked to serve that purpose.

So, when the primary goal of these newer RPGs is to virtually empower oppressed minorities, politics is the topic. Deliberately stifling that subject, here or elsewhere, makes any genuine discussion of RPGs impossible. Which I guess is the idea.

He is autistic enough to actually write it on his own. Just read his walls of text he calls "design document" for an RPG somebody needs to make for him. Prosperland material to outprosper Prosper himself if I seen any.
I can hear you calling, you need me here. Well, when the longing gets too much just go back to my "letter".

So you refuse to be a living person just so you can deny a Net troll their pleasure....

That price is something I refuse to pay~

I don't get the Kiwi Farms hate. Internet drama is fun to read about and they actively discourage their members from getting involved with the people they talk about. I think the saying there is something like "don't stick your finger in the poo". If you don't want to be made fun of on the internet, don't be a weirdo on the internet. Simple as.

you can rationalize it all you want, but going out of your way to dehumanize others because of the skeletons in their closet while having your own (spoilers: everyone has them) only works against you

It takes quite a bit of effort in order to become an exceptional individual on KF. You can't reach it by simply being an awkward basement dweller, an ugly incel and what the like. Lolcows transcend these mortal norms. And besides, a decent portion of KF is dedicated solely to internet personalities and other celebrity wannabees.

the only sacrifice you're really required to make is an ounce of mental effort reinforcing the idea that words on a computer screen have no effect on you
