I’m core clique? Awesome. I mean, I’ve only had contact with one of those people off this board (or its predecessor), but still, good to know I’m in the Illuminati that controls the fates of all wrongfully accused
menMU*ers. -
I find it interesting that I was labeled a ‘clique ally’. Mostly because I don’t really communicate with anyone on this forum, or even MSB before that went outside of the forum itself and my level of interaction was contained to just that, nor did I ever think of myself as included. I can’t say I’ve agreed with everything those on the list have said, but that by no means should suggest that I HATE THEM AND THEY ARE TERRIBLE PEOPLE. More often than not, I simply don’t voice my disagreement as usually voicing disagreement isn’t all that productive and more likely is just going to devolve into something that isn’t worth it in the long run. And as disgruntled I may usually be, I am not out to make enemies.
There may of been a time where I was that petty and bitter. I guess I just woke the hell up and just got past it.

That’s the joke, man. I don’t engage with the bulk of the people on that list outside of here, either. Most of us don’t. I am part of what could be considered a clique, absolutely, but most of them don’t do the forum thing.

@IoleRae The only clique worth being apart of is the pony clique.

RUDE.
Also I should be in every clique tier list because I am horny on main all the time, which means I (ought to be) in every TS circle.

@Testament Like I said, I picked random names and made some bullshit in paint because I was bored. It’s not that deep, man.

i am deeply uncomfortable about all the people claiming pony status, but ykinmkbykiok i guess.

in case you really need a graphic guide to the clique

Is @Faraday here? The little @ thing says you are.
You are a good person.

The ‘both sides’ that goes on that totally ignores power dynamics and actions is utterly bizzare and infuriating.
The idea that both sides don’t recognise the split is harmful? Of /course it is/. Only one side sought to exclude the other (and did so) from a position of power. It isn’t like BMD was set up by people on a jolly jape, it was made because people otherwise couldn’t engage with most of the active people in the discussion board part of the hobby.
When someone shows you who they are, over and over again? Believe them.

I love my new pony emoji.

See, I’m not sure it is ultimately.
The reasons behind the split, and the metaphorical violence behind the split? Absolutely harmful and I’m not going to deny it.
The split itself? We don’t know the full outcome of that, yet, but we’ve had exactly one problem poster here and plenty decent of discussion happening. I’d honestly call that a win.
We’re free of the parts of MSB with which we refused to put up, and they’re free of people they clearly didn’t appreciate having in their community. We both win out of this.

@Pavel Agreed. While the circumstances behind the split were harmful to some people, the actual split or two boards existing is entirely neutral. It could become harmful, and just as a person, I’d really love for us to…move on from obsessing about What They’re Saying Over There because I think it does perpetuate some bad blood and keep things emotional.
But deciding that a friend, or a group, is no longer for you and moving to make another friend or group isn’t a bad thing. Sometimes it’s just a matter of recognizing when your needs have diverged from someone else’s and all of you will be happier in separate circles.
