  • After some users complained that this site fosters bothsidesism, I decided to do some research on what that means. I can see what they’re talking about. I have to agree that some issues (especially science issues) can’t be debated. Even if you have a valid reason not to support policies or programs backed by science, you can’t deny science.

    I think they’re upset at the moderation system for punishing people who engage in political arguments, even when they’re in the right. Personally, I think the moderators are right. In a normal situation, it’s just as bad to fight back as it is to provoke people into fighting, and political dramas are no different.

    I do know one example of bothsidesism in history - those compromises on slavery in America. Both the Missouri Compromise and Compromise of 1850 were meant to give a balance in power to both slavery supporters and slavery opponents. Problem is, slavery is a human rights violation, and you can’t negotiate on or defend human rights violations. If anything, the 13th Amendment was the correct way to compromise on the issue.
    Remember: true friendships last forever. If you’re good friends with someone in real life or online, and not in a toxic relationship, then you have no reason to break friendship with them.
    This collectible sidebar is too cold to even look at.

    At least the “cool feather” and “frost egg” aren’t as cold as the blue star fragment. As long as it’s glowing, it’s powerful enough to grow ice caps in the Gulf of Mexico once dropped.
    Advice of the day:

    Junk food may taste good, but they don’t have any nutritional value. That is something you should only have every once in a while.
    Advice of the day:

    Just because some people or groups can’t do something or don’t do something doesn’t mean nobody else should do it or even talk about it. You don’t have to censor holidays or other stuff to be more inclusive of other groups. You just need to respect them.
    Hi! Thank you for the bells. I'll consider getting one there once I save up some more TBT.
    Advice of the day:

    When it comes to individual words themselves, the worst thing you could say are racial slurs. But when it comes to phrases, the most offensive things you could say are death threats (especially terroristic threats). We must avoid the extremes at all costs.

    But if you want to be a good human being, you shouldn’t even say bad words or use rude language (including “stupid” and “shut up”). As part of being respectful, you should talk more kindly and don’t be mean verbally.
    Hmm, I just realized I need to visit your island to give you the roses, because I don't think you can dig to get them on my island! (I was going to post in your thread but I didn't want it to merge)
    I enjoyed the riddles the other day! I can’t believe I managed to get half of them! Turns out I remembered more math than I thought!

    When I first did those riddles, I was confused, but I didn’t realize that they’re trying to mess with language or facts. Like that Mount Everest one, it’s always been the highest point even before discovery.

    Yeah, I had to think over them several times!
    So I just talked to a Mollycord admin on Discord last night about my rants I posted on TBT. On top of talking harshly, he called my descriptions of the server “false” and said that I truly was misbehaving. He also stuck to his incurable biases that being involved in the chain of responsibility or being neutral to an issue makes you complicit in a crime against humanity. He wants me to educate myself before I can discuss serious subjects and learn to claim accountability for my actions.

    I, however, learned different lessons on my own. Here are the real lessons to follow:
    1. If someone is too biased or polarized in a political issue, it’s not worth your time to reason with them.
    2. If you are or have ever been a conservative, you should refrain from discussing politics in a community for cartoon fans, especially if it’s for a Disney channel show.
    3. Moderation systems aren’t going to be the same on every site or server. What’s acceptable on one site is unacceptable on another.

    I forgot to add, even if I do acknowledge an error in my behavior, and everyone agrees with the server mods, he still used profanity when describing my poor behavior and enforced his subjective moral standards. No mature moderator would cuss people out. Had it been a Bell Tree moderator that privately discussed my behavior, they wouldn’t be swearing or using biased language.
    No, I’m not under 1,000 TBT again. I put that in my ABD so I can have at least 1,000 TBT at all times.

    Now if I do get back up at 10,000 TBT, I’ll probably hide that in my ABD as well.
    This is the sidebar I’m gonna stick to for a while.

    Here, there are no color repeats, no background repeats, and no category repeats.

    Alternatively, I have this:

    You may have seen my new signature. Here’s why each wraith got each glow wand:
    • Molly McGee holds the Crescent Moon Glow Wand since she’s the protagonist.
    • Darryl McGee holds the Snowflake Glow Wand since he likes weird stuff.
    • Libby Stein-Torres holds the Pumpkin Glow Wand since she is an expert in ghost stories.
    • Andrea Davenport holds the Star Glow Wand since she’s the richest and most popular girl in school.
    • Ollie Chen holds the Heart Glow Wand since he is in a relationship.
    • June Chen holds the Flower Glow Wand since she is smart, and flowers are a science symbol to me.
    I don’t know the gender of a collectible if it’s in another member’s possession, but all of my balloon collectibles are male. The apple that usually lands in the same sidebar as the ghost kitty is female (it’s Kaylee the Apple).
    By using the Wayback Machine, I was able to find a lot of interesting things on TV Tropes from before I started reading.

    Like, for example, how when the site was new, there was a page in Darth Wiki to complain about shows you don’t like. It was quickly scrapped. Or how certain tropes that are definition-only for flame bait reasons, like Idiot Plot, used to have examples before they became too controversial. I think I’m going to use the site more to check out TV Tropes’ past.

    Okay, I have good news and bad news.

    The good news is that I did find the Moral Event Horizon page for South Park. It’s right here.

    The bad news is I couldn’t find the others. An Aesop for South Park seemingly wasn’t archived, and the Toy Story Surprisingly Realistic Outcome has one capture, but that’s an archive of the page after being cut.

    Here are some of the most extreme examples from the entire show:
    • Cartman forcing Kyle to pay millions of dollars to get a kidney transplant to treat a life-threatening condition.
    • Stephen Stotch selling his son for $250 million to a spoiled brat and scolding him for not wanting to be sold.
    • Jeff Bezos tricking kids to opening Josh Carter’s box, knowing that it would kill him.
    • Randy Marsh bombing homegrowers’ gardens to get a monopoly on his marijuana business.
    • Mr. Garrison killing a pangolin and the scientist so he can continue the natural genocide against Mexicans.

    I know the Scott Tenorman incident was evil, but Scott Tenorman was an unlikable character anyway. But the very idea of refusing or blocking donations to someone with a life-threatening condition out of greed or hate spooked me, which is why I didn’t choose the Scott Tenorman thing.
    I have some more “Assorted” collectible sidebars. This time, they’re “Assorted” Tradable Collectible sidebars.

    I have suspended my quest to getting the Flower Glow Wand. I probably won’t get that for a while. For now, I came up with two sidebars I would alternate every week. They are free from rainbow coordination, but categories and backgrounds are never repeated. Here are the two sidebars:

    Just letting you know, I’m free to discuss this site off-site and link any discussions here, but I promise not to discuss other members negatively, bring up another’s past scandal, or bring up the political dramas when discussing this site on another site.

    Here’s an interesting place to check out:
