We need to do this more.
It's extra cathartic for me to piss off sexist chuds this way because I can remember when being found out as a girl on the internet meant being spammed with "tits or gtfo"
- "You wouldn't last in a mw2 lobby"
  Your right, anybody who wasn't an asshole immediatly muted everybody that wasn't on their friends list because they didn't want to listen to 12 year olds literally just scream the n word over and over again as many times as they could between rounds.
  That's the epitome of culture they want to get back to.

Responding in as few lines as possible to massive walls of text is like my favorite maneuver
- hit em with that "lmao"
- I just use one character
  "K"
  
  I just found the projector emoji which is perfect for genocide fantasies
- "no" is a good one
- i was expecting a battle of wits, but you appear to be unarmed!
  your mom suck me good and hard thru my jorts

or

Bring back "post hog"
Entitled debatebros think they deserve discourse, when all they deserve is relentless mockery.
- Hexbear needs our
  emote
  
  we do! submit that to c/emoji
  
  with chuds, there's frequently not much of a debate, just u mad bro back and forth and it needs a different kind of reply.

/pol/ is proof that containment boards don't work. The moment the guard is down they become a colony. Better to bleach them out and let the survivors colonize a different chan.

✨ post hog ✨
- We live in a post-hog economy
  
  I still remember when the guy did it it.

wins!

It was fucking amazing when it actually worked and chuds posted their dicks. But it's a numbers game. Like Gretzky said, you miss every hog you don't post

Rember when they tried to say we were all pedophiles with the literal argument "one of those fascists they're saying post hog to could be underage"

I struggle with this because sometimes I do have a legitimate response to a chud arguing in bad faith, so I do the whole arguing for other people thing where I post a long argument mostly for other people to read rather than what I maybe should do, which is “post hog.”
There is a certain persuasive logic to chud arguments, and sometimes it feels like if I have a legitimate counter to them, even if i know they’re arguing in bad faith, I can’t help but post a long response so other people, maybe with less developed leftist thought at risk of falling for the chud arguments or something, will see
- That's fine, you have the rest of your comrades to demand hog and/or ppb etc...
  "Combined genre posting" or something like that
  
  Combined Arms Posting Doctrine
- I think it’s valuable because it’s always possible they or a confused lurker is reading in good faith
- diversity of tactics is a good thing.

I think the downfall started when trolling breached containment of extremely online people to the wider world and was nigh-immediatly re-understood as "saying mean things or insulting someone", I guess because aforementioned power structures weren't really known?
You still hear Don't feed the trolls said occasionally but it's lost all meaning, because the word has, it's just an empty platitude now. Used to be good advice.
- you just put that into perspective for me. I had always understood trolling in the older sense of the word, which is deliberately saying anything to get a rise out of people. Like pretending to be stupid, or pretending to be new in a forum when you've actually been there a while, asking dumb questions, or deliberately acting annoying. But now you're right. It just means any sort of insult or any kind of talk that isn't perfectly civil. That's why we get called trolls then, it's because we don't play that game where the first person to become uncivil automatically loses the argument.
- Don't feed the trolls kinda falls flat when the king troll gets elected president, even though you refused to dignify him with a response.
  
  Don't Feed The Trolls is about not falling into their trap such as long sincere replies. Counter-Trolling is about reversing the relationship; you get the troll to feed you.

Anatomy-neutral options:
Post your bits or take the hit,
Drop Trou or leave now.

unrelated but "gnostalgic" is interesting. Secret knowledge of good times long past?
- uh. it was a homestuck reference lmao
  
  welp. still made me think hahahaha
- Yeah I was unclear if it was a typo or wordplay, I dig it tho
  
  there's a character in homestuck whose username is tipsygnostalgic and i was tipsy and nostalgic last night
- Kinda works out, since I think Gnosticism is about remembering your prior existence beyond the mundane physical realm!
- Like an inside joke but you are the only one left inside.

I have a good friend who will often get debate bro or argue in bad faith (not about politics, about stupid stuff like comics and TV). When I sense the argument isn't going to go anywhere I've started just saying "wrong" or "incorrect" and not elaborating. It's really fun and it puts them on the defensive without me doing much effort.
- The proper approach

Gnostalgic
Anyone else remember when Yaldaboath created Adam.
- it's a homestuck reference that i didn't think this many people would comment on

I'm not sure what they're referring to in that last paragraph
- Post hog.
  Had this back fire on me once and the guy PM'd hog, then followed me around to different subreddits yelling at me until I blocked him.
  
  Did you mock his penis enough?
  Like, pull out mspaint and highlight every blemish, every abnormality, and make up a few too?
  "Look at that narrow-ass urethra, look at that gross ass curve, bro you need to learn how to manscape, is that a herpies sore halfway up the shaft?"

wow. wow guys. real mature. oh you wanna see my penis? yeah like i'd show you that. grow up. i mean really. wow.
- sounds like someone wants to post hog (please don't)

Weaponising sexual harassment continues to be gross. Find something else that bothers them.
- This literally hasn't happened in 7 years, find something real to be mad about.
