Re: how does coal feel about luigi

[(Anonymous)]

that this feels like bait, in the group that’s just supposed to be for talking about one holiday fanfic exchange yet has at least one person devoting to constantly arguing about the worst current world issues for the last couple months

Re: how does coal feel about luigi

I legit assumed there must be some sort of discourse about the Mario character going round because this is a fandom comm and despite being vaguely aware of the incident concerned I am not on immediate context-free first-name terms with references to US news.

It's totally bait.

Re: how does coal feel about luigi

No, I was honestly curious

Re: how does coal feel about luigi

I mean, why? this is such a specific use, seasonal forum that it’s bizarre to me people keep trying to turn it into something else

Re: how does coal feel about luigi

[(Anonymous)]

Because like I said, I was interested in the divergence of opinion between the other places I read in.

Like I said originally, it just looks like bait to drag us back to all the annoying shit people have been doing all season. Why would you care what a small group of anonymous international people who participate in a holiday fanfiction exchange think about an American news event, there are literally a million more appropriate places to discuss that online.

Anyway let’s discuss the real hot button topic, which is that apparently Wario and Waluigi are not actually brothers?

Went "What???" in disbelief, googled this, first thing that came up under 'People also ask' was "Are Wario and Waluigi dating?" Glad to know people are out there asking the important questions.

They aren't?????!?!?!?!

Re: how does coal feel about luigi

[(Anonymous)]

I found this out last year and it had me fucked up. I thought they'd be brothers because Mario and Luigi are!

lol no place humans can converse will ever stick to a specific use without constant enforced moderation, that's just not how humans work

Re: how does coal feel about luigi

Sure, but there's conversational drift and then there's showing up to a comm that's silent 95% of the time, dropping a non-sequitur wank bomb not even tenuously related to anything ever talked about there, and expecting the mostly-silent people who are there for something else to spontaneously start discussing it for you.

Re: how does coal feel about luigi

People were sure willing to wank here ad nauseam about other political stuff a few months ago, so why not?

Re: how does coal feel about luigi

I think the problem is that there is a sharp pro/anti-genocide divide and a sharp pro/anti-trans divide, but most people fall down on meh when it comes to one dude setting out to kill one rich immoral fuck and killing exactly that dude and nobody else, so it's unlikely to kick off a fuss.

Re: how does coal feel about luigi

[(Anonymous)]

No, the divide is sharper in my experience there too, I'm seeing a big difference between the "Free Luigi, hero of the people" and "All violence is bad, he's a murderer" that I honestly hadn't really expected.
