I'm going in and out of cell service right now, so it took me a while to search, but I assume this is the shitpost that is causing arguments in the other threads.

1st off: Grumpus, I could be wrong, but I really doubt these people upset with you are reddit shills. I think a lot of the Lemmy userbase simply doesn't like this type of humor.

2nd: Shitposts, by definition, are usually intended to be stupid and provocative, which this one clearly is. The reddit link is a good example of people taking it as shock humor rather than seriously, and that's usually how a shitposting community operates. If there were a pattern of this user or other users clearly trying to stir up some racist agenda, that would be different, but for now, my inclination is to keep it up and let people upvote/downvote however they think is best.

(My cells service isn't strong enough to upload a screenshot atm, but here's a link to the Merriam-Webster definition of a shitpost that I'm referencing: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/shitpost)

They're way more dangerous. The last time I was in a helicopter, the pilot kept trying to get us over a mountain ridge, but the low air density at that elevation kept causing the blades to be ineffective and would drop us. After a handful of tries, he gave up, and we went around.

I'll probably never fly in one again.

 
 

She's all over. It's great.

It's essentially a one-man show.

How have I missed this news??

(actually, I don't know whether to be excited or to dread this)

Now that you mention it, maybe the kids should be telling the closest police officer about the "sexy puppeteer"...

Damn you, I was in a ranked game!
