I agree though don't know about copying from hate groups. Often they start out "you white people or folks" and it gets more and more offensive. A lot of racist stuff or hate doesn't that always get deleted. Any personal name calling or attacks should be deleted. Often they aren't.

Yes, they are so angry and irrational. Very annoying.


Oh all of this.

I can mostly see those in the Cambridge thread because even if there are some KM haters, there aren't a lot and they can be largely ignored. It is, in contrast, impossible to do the same thing with the Sussex thread because there are pages and pages of often-racist vitriol that sounds totally batsh!t crazy, and any normal news or posts are buried. I have to read the fans thread for MM because of the crazies, which is annoying. Idk why MM haters are so unhinged. The KM haters are annoying too, but the MM haters are next-level with it.



Yes! MM haters are next-level crazy. It’s scary.


+1 Those are the absolute worst DCUM posters. They are vicious, unhinged and defensive.

Why do you put a space before your period?





Pp, you're so funny .


L O L



Neither of you is funny. Both of you are likely racists, and you both are annoying posters.


DP. It is a legitimate question. The space before the period is ... odd. And that is saying it nicely. It is obviously being done on purpose because it occurs in more than one sentence. So I join the others in asking: OP, why do you put a space before the periods in your sentences?

BTW be careful before you call me a racist, too. I could be (I mean I could be anything) but my skin color will surprise you.


Purple?



PP makes a serious post about the ridiculous amount of racism on this forum, and in reply a poster decides to be snarky, you cosign this behavior by laughing. Think about that. You claim to be a POC but it's more important to you to make jokes and high fives with your troll buddy than it is to take a stand against racism on this forum.





When it comes to painful realities, such as racism and sexism, sometimes you laugh so an not to cry. Also, for people calling out racist posts and posters on this board: use the report button. The moderators here are extremely responsive. They remove racist post as soon as they are reported and they will block repeat offenders.

"Grandma" is an mentality thing, not age. It's meant if you are stuck in the past.

e.g., My mom isn't "grandma" but my SIL is. And she's 35 years younger.


It's a stupid insult that makes you look weak-minded.


Meh. You’re overreacting


Both are true.


It makes me sad. What would our culture look like if we actually respected grandmothers? American culture does not value the elderly at all, and this is an expression of that. Nothing could be worse, in the youth-obsessed culture, than to call someone old. Our society is ill.


Yay! I love when people are out-of-touch with reality but still feel the need to tell everyone what to do.

LOL. So thin-skinned. Maybe you shouldn't spout your outdated, uniformed opinions as truth - 'kay?


Okay Auntie, time to bed.

Lately it’s the anti-wokeness crusaders, particularly on the politics forum, although they pop up in the education forum and other forums as well. They’re practically rabid in their fury and full of the usual grievances.

The entertainment forum used to be a fun place to talk about movies and shows and occasionally gossip about celebs, but it's been overrun by stans. I loathe stan culture.


Yep. Slowly but surely there are fewer and fewer forums on DCUM which are worth my time.
