badposting is a comm where you post badly


This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.

Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?


Rules:

  1. Do not post good posts.
    • Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
    • Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
  2. This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
  3. This rule intentionally left blank.
  4. If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.

Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

I rate this one 7/10, humorous imagery with an appeal to bygone meme culture of the early 10's, an underrated gem

Number 4: https://hexbear.net/post/2648398?scrollToComments=false

Another underrated gem, a mid to high 7/10. This post's title is derived from a contemporary post to c/games here. The jumbling of words adds a humorous twist to the original and conveys the absurdity and triteness of the well-trodden discussion of skill in Dark Souls, an objectively bad game.

Number 3: https://hexbear.net/post/2602350?scrollToComments=false

I give this one a light to mid 8/10. A humorous take on the discussion of "freedom of speech" in online spaces, the dialogue highlights the harm that proponents of "free speech" seek to do in expressing their ideas while feigning a feeling of persecution when they're called out for their harm.

Number 2: https://hexbear.net/post/2706708?scrollToComments=false

One of the few posts with a broader popular appeal as seen in the upbeat count, and for good reason. I rate this one a high 8/10, possibly a light 9/10. The subtext is obvious - how ridiculous it is to seek approval in a forum meant for posting terrible quality posts. However, there is a nuance missed here - the high burden bad posters face of balancing the bad with the humorous, a puzzling tension that has stayed many hands from posting. "Is my post too bad to post to bad posting? Or is it too funny and possibly meant for main or the dunktank?" Who can say, really?

Number 1: https://hexbear.net/post/2747794

Brilliant, high 9/10, maybe one of the only 10/10 ratings I can give. It's so bad, it belongs to the com, but so good the user should likely be banned. There's so many things that could be said about this, but I'll just sum up -
