Chatter post

For all your discussion needs.

Ground rules:
- Try to keep it loosely trash party related, or at least Cap fandom related.
- Disagreement is fine, nastiness is not.
- Being offended is not carte blanche for nastiness.
- Trashmeme ground rules apply. Read at your own risk, no romanticizing your noncon garbage, no wank about the moral acceptability of noncon kink.
- Body shots, sniper shots, and tetanus shots are all available at the open bar. Party like it's 2014, kids.

not really gonna touch on #1 because i feel like by now trashmod has explained their reasoning pretty thoroughly, but to your point #2: come on. it wasn't about framing the old guard as "better than" people who might be newer to the meme. it was more making a point about the spirit of the meme and how that hasn't changed since it started. i think some of the more egregious comments were because people got worked up over the negging about HTP dying off if it doesn't cater to this specific thing some people want, and i kinda understand getting defensive in light of that if you've been here for a while and always dug the trash meme for exactly what it was. *shrug* no one is saying one kink is better than the other kink, or that one side is better than the other because their tastes are better, just that most of the content here has always had a sexual component rather than straight up distressing body horror/torture.
