so this is just kind of a opinion dump, so don't take this all personaly since this isn't directed specifically at anyone, just kinda throwing this out there since today was filled with drama, i wasn't involved in most of it but it's kinda draining even when you're not taking part in it okay, here we go Cussing: points against cussing; It does make you seem over the top sometimes, cussing too much makes you look like you can't think right to make valid points and you're just lashing out, it can also make you look like you're just cussing to make yourself look cool or intimidating, but most people just feel like it makes you look like you're not controlling yourself or you just have no valid points so you cuss to mask it out In defense of cussing: we all have freedom of speech, obviously, especially through the internet, cussing is a good way to express yourself when you're angry, and you're allowed to cuss if you want to, unless it's like a very young kid's website and it's visibly staded in

-the site's guidelines, if that's not the case then yes, you can cuss, and there's nothing really wrong with it, like everything in life, too much of everything is bad, so you gotta be moderate with everything

bullying: bullying varies when it's on the internet, bullied is mostly considered bullying when it's really personal, like on facebook or something, and they're constantly harassing you with not base of reason, what cupidcut was doing for example, was NOT bullying, while i do agree she didn't handle the situation 100% perfectly, but hell! she's stressed as ****! while it's not 100% a valid argument that she's stressed(sorry for saying 100% so much), still, cut her some slack, she proved she wasn't doing alright

the internet itself: people will be mean, people will do what they want, depending on what it is it should be punished, here on fa, people will start drama, things are not punished for the fact that (i assume) the creator is the only moderator, he's an extremely busy man, has a job, is an adult, probably has a family to feed, he doesn't make loads of money out of this but he's trying his best, flipanim isn't a kids site, it's a neutral site, for minors and 18+, while it does have guidelines they're pretty vague, but people can still say what they want, even starting drama, while it's annoying it's true, sadly..

drama: (this is 100% my opinion and i might get a bit to angry at this, i apologize in advance) it's absolutely idiotic, it's annoying, it doesn't help anyone learn anything, because 9/10 times people part their ways without having learnt anything, because it's DRAMA, NOT AN CIVIL ARGUMENT, a civil argument will leave both parties okay, they'll be okay, mostly chill, and will give valid points with time to think of what they'll say, meanwhile DRAMA, you have to act quick, get screenshots, go on multiple anims at the same time, keep up with comments before they get deleted, and you have to be there at all times, no breaks, it drains people, it hurts them, you won't get anything out of it, no one is in the right most of the times, it sucks, you'll be tired at the end of the day, no one learnt anything, like i said, and no one gains anything from it

cupidcut: (this is specifically targeted towards them, just a little personal message, the other part of the comments you can kinda have a bit of a read even when time passes by and all of the things that are happening today are over) I really hope you feel better soon, i get you were stressed, hell, you still are, and i can see you're tired, you should really get some rest, this thing was escalated like all drama is, and i strongly advise you to take a break from fa as a whole, or maybe try to not interact too much when you notice it's gonna start drama, you weren't 100% wrong, you were mostly in the right, i don't like how you spammed them back, i know generic excuse but you didn't like what they did, you did it back too, i get it, "take a gulp of your own medicine, karma", but it just gives them the right that they can do it again because you did it to them, but honestly, all that shit aside, feel better soon dude, you're pretty chill when this shit isn't up or you're in a good mood,

- so take a bit of a rest, really, you deserve it, try to calm down, breathe, drink some water, take a cool bath so you can cool down, yada yada yada, my best wishes for you

ack okay tangent over
