Re: Lit Playground is Cliquey

I'm shocked that so few people are willing to admit the PG is cliquey. It has been notorious for its exclusionary nature for years. Most of us have been part of it in some form or another, probably playing both roles at some point.

Lit is truly one of the most hierarchical places I've ever seen. In general and by nature, sexual activity is exclusionary. Take an internet forum where this is the topic of concentration, filled with many people who seek to fill a void or want some form of attention, it is going to create hierarchies. It is one of the things I find so fascinating about the place. This could be an absolute brilliant case study in behavioural economics.

Someone earlier mentioned familiarity, which can often come off as cliquey. I don't think that's necessarily fair to attribute cliques to groups of friends. Familiarity is not exclusionary, as that poster said. I've even seen some people go out of their way to notice those on the fringe in acts of genuine kindness. Not me, as I'm royalty and I won't be getting any peasant mud on my hands. But others.

This feeling has come up enough that there's probably a lot of truth to it. And honestly, perception is reality for the person making the statement. I think to deny the reality of its existence is to turn a blind eye. Now... what can be done about it? Who knows?

I don't know anything about this TS Woody guy. But his statement was pretty simple and people did get rather defensive of his statement. He wasn't particularly snarky about it. Certainly less so than some of those who responded. And maybe prior behaviours caused such a response. Again, I don't know him. But if your reaction to such a claim is defensiveness, one must wonder why.

You're very.... wordy.

Just an observation.

But then you disappeared and things got much better.
Attention whoring threads took a precipitous drop.

If you look at the shenanigans thread, new people pop in all the time and as long as they aren't assholes, they are usually welcomed and fit right in. It's not a thread for everyone but I feel like post-covid lit (are we really post-covid?) is a friendlier, more accepting place but maybe my perspective is skewed by being here longer.

I know, it's very distressing, those are my bread and butter

So. Fast. Paced.

but I feel like post-covid lit (are we really post-covid?) is a friendlier, more accepting place but maybe my perspective is skewed by being here longer.

This is a hot take that deserves more discussion. I have a tough time remembering the exacts of lit pre-covid, but you might be right about it being cliqueier(<-- because that's a word)

Lit can feel like there are lots of clubs. And new people don't always know how to fit in. Some people do. And are accepted as if by magic. Others. Not so much.

And those on the inside wouldn't notice or realise that that is how they come across.

I'd have to go through about 1,000 PMs #humblebrag
But descriptions I've heard are 'hilarious' 'superb' 'completely satisfied' 'like seeing the face of God' 'paragon' and for some reason 'intimidating'

All of those sound legit including the quantity

I agree with you. Terrible the way things have changed, isn't it?

Agreed, SnS definitely is the dominant thread on the forum. But I don't think that it makes for a place to get to know people. In fact, I'd say that particular thread is quite the opposite. It's a place for people who know one another to banter. I'm not saying that's bad. But the hyperspeed at which one must interact isn't easy for newcomers. I'm honestly surprised you can keep up, Bogey. I think a thread like this

And I'm not saying there shouldn't be a place for people who know each other to banter. But I think using SnS as the poster child for inclusivity shows that you probably don't understand what Woody was saying. My advice to Woody would be to seek out threads that move slower and are a bit more inclusive.

And what I'm also hearing is that you want more pmann threads.

 

[morelikeasong]

and for some reason 'intimidating'

I told you that in confidence!

How about you chart the data for the ones you already have

My advice to that young man is entering into threads and calling people giant assholes is not a good strategy to make friends and find people wanting to get to know more about you. But that’s just me. Others may feel differently

I'm happy to say that I've never been exclusionary outside of the sexyalison incident, but c'mon there was like 20 of us that were in agreement that her body-shaming had to go. And that was a top-10 night on lit for me

Lit is truly one of the most hierarchical places I've ever seen.

It's good to be on tier 2 or 3 isn't it, buddy?

So many polysyllabic words. Ouch.

I hear you but you pop in and out of shenanigans and are loved when you are there but it can get crazy and people understand when you aren't.

Last week, I invaded the UK thread. I assumed people knew I was being somewhat tongue in cheek but a lot of those forks likely don't know me well or at all. It could be seen as a cliquey thread but yet I was welcomed and felt comfortable there. I don't think that's always been the case here.

One of the many gifts of the Trump administration (having different versions of truth).

Those who are slightly above average in intelligence will hide that fact through use of flowery and overly complicated language. A genius can get the most complicated idea across using language and terms even the simplest among us can understand.

Is that what he did? Serious question... I don't remember him doing that in this thread. He may have and maybe I missed it or you may be referring to another thread. But for the most part, he seemed quite respectful.

He did it in another thread. Serious answer, which is why he was maybe given less leash for what could either have been an attack or an observation, just a little while later.

I feel like I'm the only one who loved her. She was an ass. But if it's the thread I'm thinking of... she simply stated she was not interested in fucking around with fat guys. She said she liked men who were fit and tone. I think she called it the default24 model. But people were up in arms about it. It's no different than a woman saying she wants a man taller than her or older than her or a man who likes a woman to have long hair or whatever. I was fascinated by that incident. She's my unrequited love. #TooFatForAlison#OzempicForPmann

Loved that night though.

Yes, in response to a post made by Bry in S&S that came off as harsher than I think was intended. i think folks did jump on the person but why not educate them in S&S why bring it so another thread? (And if it was addressed in S&S I apologize I pop in out don’t follow it all of the time.)

That's fair. Past behaviours certainly do influence the perception and reception of a comment.
