That sucks and all, but if someone left because of a little DSHSB they are going to have a hard time staying in general.
You guys know how much shit ive had to deal with over the years.

True, but maybe it doesn't have to be that way, at least in the Pub. There are plenty of other parts of the site where it's more like anything goes.

I think we do have a problem retaining female users, or any new users more generally. Other than Poor Boy's latest puppet and the odd actual new person who clicks with the culture here.

You can add minority users to that.

Absolutely, I can think of a number of people of other backgrounds who were great posters and rarely come around any more.

Solidarity between minorities very often are not a thing. Many minorities discriminate the crap out of other minorities.

100% Things have gotten a lot better here with time as far as toxicity towards women goes, but that’s kinda gone with the times. I was homeschooled and and was basically raised on the internet during a time it was very hard to openly be a woman on the internet. But the years of “tits or gtfo” is more or less behind us, at least from what I’ve seen. All in all the internet is much more accepting of women, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be the occasional creeps. Idk exactly where I’m going with this. I guess I’m just trying to say, I’ve had idiots post shit directed at my like “post tits” since I was like 12 y/o so I’m kinda used to that stupid shit, where as a younger woman who didn’t have to year with that age of the internet might have much softer skin when it comes to things like that, so ya, I agree. We have enough to deal with, let us ladies post in peace.

I often hear people saying the Pub is like OTD used to be. If that's the case, do we need to all work to make the Pub a bit more welcoming?

SkagitHunter said: My wife says I can’t hang a skeleton from our elm tree with a noose. I think it’s a good Halloween decoration. I live in a small town and we own a business. I am also a firefighter in said town.
Is it controversial with racial undertones? Would you do this if you had an elm tree and a skeleton?
We recently hung up 4 of our skeletons, none by the neck though.. we will prob set up the rest this weekend.

Oooh! Just thought of a good idea! Set 10 bones up in bowling pin formation and pose a skeleton as though its about to roll a skull at them.

You can add minority users to that.
While I’m not disagreeing with you, I would like to point out that the response to someone making a stupid comment about race or making a stupid comment about sex is night and day. If someone says something stupid about race not only will they be attacked by a dozen different members, but they will be punished by the moderation team more often than not. If someone makes a dumb comment about women everyone, including the moderation team kinda just laughs it off. This is especially true then it comes to dumb comments made about transgendered people’s being ignored and allowed.
