continued Thatfucker discussion

[anonniemouse]

Since we've been kicked off FFA for the week, please feel free to continue the anon discussion here. Apologies if this is a big flop - I've never made a DW community before!

The rules are vaguely the same as they are over on FFA. Please refrain from being too much of an asshole, making personal attacks, posting identifying information or engaging in transfail.

ETA: If there's information you'd like to see archived (journal/blog posts related to Andy, etc.), please dump it here and link to it from the main post for discussing.

No, it doesn't make it better. He think he admitted it to describe how flippant he is about the matter, because the default cultural assumption is if you're "flirting" with kids, it means nothing.

Honestly, I feel gross just typing "flirting with kids", though.

That said, I think in this case Andy is tone deaf and creepy. I don't think he's an actual sexual threat to children.

You mean AYRT, nonnie!

Isn't SA "same anon"?

Re: memory

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, as in "same anon who made the post I'm replying to." It's not used frequently, usually just for typo corrections and such. It's basically "Edit:"

AYRT = "anon you replied to"
DA = "different anon" (used if you're serious about clarifying that you are NOT ayrt, usually to either +1 the other anon's point in a heated debate or chime in to offer a different perspective)
NA = "new anon" coming into the thread for the first time. Almost synonymous with DA, so this one is rarely used.

I wonder if we could put this in the post header?

Re: memory

I'll make sure it's added next post, if nothing else!

Oh, I agree! I meant my comment in the same way you explain it: not that he's sexually dangerous to small children, but that his supposedly flippant comment comes accross as very creepy instead.

As for this SA/AYRT business: SA is what I would have used if I'd replied to my own comment, for example to clarify:

"SA

Uh, not that I'm saying he's a pedophile/child abuser or anything like that!"
