X-Corp #2 Preview

[alliterator]

You've shown how the magical side of mutantdom can make for strange bedfellows in X of Swords and Excalibur — is that something to look forward to in X-Corp as it expands the Reign of X into the business world?

Who knows? That’s the thing about putting a price on something — anyone can theoretically come buyin'.

I love Monet even more after this scene

Evil nazi trash like Fenris are a cancer upon the planet that needs to be wiped out and her fucking them up here while telling them exactly how worthless, pathetic and inferior they and everything they believe in is was a punch the air moment of joy

The only thing that will make me happier is if someone figures out a way to kill them both in such a way its impossible to resurrect them

Or they wind up in the living hell of the Exile Pit for all eternity

Oh my gosh... look, you’re a self-proclaimed hedonist, can I be selfish for a minute? I get they’re nazis. I get they’re unrepentant. I get you like to harp on every kind of -ist and -phobe. But for the love of gosh, can you please cut that out with the wishing death and the hateful language and the aggressive rhetoric for five bloody minutes? That’s exhausting to see and really puts me in a bad place mentally, I liked coming to this place partly to get away from that kind of spiel. Besides, you’re not allowed to wish death or lasting harm on female characters here.

Yeah, I haven't known how to bring it up without breaking the rules, and I'm not going to pretend I've never wished some kind of terrible fate on or been flippantly dismissive toward a character I wasn't a fan of in my entire posting history. But I also feel less inclined to participate in discussions when I know that's going to involve navigating constant "I hate this character; let me tell you in detail how I fantasize about destroying them" observations. Especially if I want to say something in support of the character who's getting trashed with zero acknowledgment that might not be a universal opinion. (Which is not the case here, but it's certainly hampering my ability to talk about Xavier, for example.)

Don’t get me wrong, that’s nice to see someone so passionate and open about what they love and unafraid of speaking their mind, but there’s something just so draining about reading the umpteenth variation of how thing deserves to be tortured and suffer unending pain before dying a dreadful death and cast down to the deepest depths of the most horrible hells.

I'm glad I'm not alone in wishing for less vitriol from her. I've been banned from replying to her posts, but still seeing the sheer amount of vicious, violent rhetoric really stresses me out.

[beyondthefringe]

And then she keeps starting discussions where I'd like to join in, but I'm blocked from replying to those posts. I don't always pay attention to who starts these things so it's jarring when I write a reply and get the "lol no you're blocked" message.

Just because I don't want to hear about (insert choice of victim here) getting (insert horrible manner of death here) on a frequent basis...

We having a good old fashioned pile on in here?

(frozen)

[miramira]

Also why I’ve been reluctant to say anything, because I totally get how it could feel that way. And I’m not looking for a ban or anything like that. Just...a voluntary shift in focus for a bit would be nice. I’ll even ease up on complaining about how creepy I find Krakoa in exchange.

I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to start anything. That’s just... I don’t know, that just gets exhausting to read/see/listen to.

I wouldn't say a pile-on, so much as a multi-person intervention.
If one person can inspire so many others to speak up with complaints and/or concerns about how the one person's posts make so many others uncomfortable, then hopefully it might result in a more constructive outcome.

Look, call it a pile-on if you want, but the truth is, four people are coming forward to say that one person's language and behavior makes them feel actively uncomfortable in a community that's supposed to be inclusive and harassment free. That's indicative of an actual problem, and it deserves serious consideration.

We suspect you would be hard pressed to find any members of scans_daily whose views come anywhere close to extreme Right Wing, so there are no bonus points for expressing disgust at literal, if fictional, Nazi's.

This community also has members from across the world who have lived through, or are living through, repression of their human rights, or know from their own histories what that entails. So you do not get to lecture someone else on the horrors of real world human rights abuses. It's not a competition, and you don't know what they might know about such things from their own experience.

However, some posters are disturbed by violent imagery, even when they agree with the sentiments of the poster using it. A request to avoid graphic descriptions of physical harm or murder, even of fictional characters, should be taken at face value and not seen as an attack on the other poster or the opinion they're expressing.

In general we do try to avoid wishing characters dead here (especially female characters), and if this extends to the more loathesome villains, that's perhaps an unfortunate side-effect, but it doesn't crop up very often.

We will also add that is also entirely inappropriate to post a reply on scans_daily and then delete it as a means of sending a "private" message to an individual, that is not what this group is for.

This is a Community board and if a post is made, it should stay there unless it is to correct minor things like spelling, or one of the Mods ask you to remove it, for whatever reason. Posting and deleting as a form of sniper-messaging like that can be seen as a form of harassment which we will not accept.
