Okay, now that I've taken some time to calm down and disable CSS in this section, that was probably bad taste there.

But seriously, I'm talking about an apparent failure to realize that, when you yell "shut up and deal with it" at people who are angry, it tends to make them more angry.

I'm sorry, but that part made me laugh in the most cynical fashion over the "commies are the enemy" presumption.

And yes, the proper response to the outcry about the color scheme is either "tweak the shading to reduce any notes of eye-bleeding" (the background yellow is rather bright now that I look at it more closely, while it's darker on Muffin's site and not used in large blocks) or "yeah yeah it's temporary just let the joke ride out."

Really, it's not much different from the complaints about the first custom skin for CPMC...

So?
=======
Although I must say, I really don't understand what's so "bright" about yellow and red. Turn down your brightness?  :derp:

Durr hurr obviously that doesn't solve it. That was stupid suggestion!*

I have a high contrast display and why is it that my eyes aren't "burning" or "blinding" me? Maybe it's because I used to look directly at the sun back in elementary school.
Which leads me to believe: People will complain whenever given a chance to do so. So, explain to me what is so "bright" or "blinding" about this forum layout. Do that, and maybe we can go back to our Christmas theme.

Although yes, I must admit, on the rest of the board's gray theme, red and blue text look absolutely hideous, so yes, I know what "blinding colors" are. I can't stare for five freaking seconds without getting a headache.

Either way, we're most likely going back. It would be ridiculous to get   to the holidays and still have ketchup over mustard as a layout.
Common sense says to be patient. The theme isn't permanent, you guys.  :V

*Notice the omission of "a".

Sorry guys, CPMC looks like fucking McDonald's,
and I'm not sure if I'm lovin' it.

Post by: Dizzy H. "Muffin" Muffin on November 12, 2010, 09:43:28 AM
Okay, now that I've looked around a bit and actually thought things through, I think I can see the reason the whole drama-bomb happened:

1. The new color scheme appeared.
2. Some people got mad at the new color-scheme.
3. The response from the people who were having fun was universally to brush off this anger and make jokes at the people who were angry.
4. The people who were mad got more mad.

Now, I'm not going to say the knee-jerk RAEG over the new color scheme was justified (particularly my own; overreactions have always been a problem for me). I'm also not going to say that anyone should have seen this coming before the fact, since 20-20 hindsight is 20-20, and if you worried about unadulterated fury in response to every little thing, you'd never get anything done.

But 4 happening as a result of 3 seems kind of obvious to me (though this is still hindsight). Continuing to brush them off as "communist pig-dogs", or that deal-with-it image ... well, I know that it was in jest, and nobody was actually serious about it. The thing is, the angry people were serious, and it therefore gave them the impression that they were being trivialized, that the other people (including the people who ran the forum!) didn't actually care how they felt. Worse were the people who outright insulted them, calling them and their anger "stupid." And, like all people on the internet, the angry people responded by taking it personally. The fun, to them, was being had at their expense. Was this true? Was their increased anger "justified"? Of course not, but it was still there. And so we started to have a feedback loop.

The point I'm trying to make here is: once you have this anger out there, you need to actually take it seriously and deal with it. Joking about peoples' anger to their faces makes it worse. The number-one priority should have been defusing the anger, because it automatically leads to more anger regardless of whose "fault" it is or how justified you think their anger is.

Lenin, I think, understood this. Stalin did, too, after his own fashion. It remains to be seen whether the same can be said of others who would follow in their footsteps.

Well, communists can't be pigdogs, that's reserved for the capitalists.

Furthermore, this is a joke forum that is the home to jokes and other non-serious things.  The fact that the theme was changed lends further credence to the joke nature of this board.  The reaction of the staff, a hand-wave and "calm down", is more than sufficient.  The fact that some posters have such outrageous reactions to the change is not the fault of the staff but rather the poster themselves.  There exist several workarounds mentioned as alternatives in various threads, and likely more exist throughout the internet. 

Besides, demanding treatment more equal than those of the proletariat is not the Communist way :V

Calling attention to the complaints with a thread vaguely insulting those complaining about it and with an empty stock response of "deal with it" is not a hand-wave and "calm down." Nor is there a follow-up segment in that post with a more serious response to the complaints or a hint of that hand-wave and 'calm down.'

Muffin does have a point about fueling irrational anger being a bad idea. Even if it's just recognizing the complaint and saying "Sorry, no dice," showing some understanding of it even if you disagree is a good idea.

Post by: Tengukami on November 12, 2010, 10:18:34 AM
No, in my experience, "taking the anger seriously", when it's over something as trivial as the color scheme of a joke forum, is a very bad idea. It teaches that it's OK to blow up over something that petty. People who go over the top in their reactions to things, generally speaking, are not the people the site needs to bend over backwards for. Just like anywhere else in life. Other folks who don't enjoy the colors very much - among them Esifex, dustyjo and theshim - have managed to show a sense of humor. The community here as a whole is capable of having a relaxed atmosphere without having to shift into Committee Mode over every little thing.

In short, yes, sometimes you do need to tell people to lighten up. Sometimes validating their temper tantrums by "taking it seriously" is a terrible idea.
Title: Re: To all you capitalist pigdogs complaining about the glorious theme
Post by: Rin Kagamine on November 12, 2010, 10:27:13 AM
I would like to point out that there has not been one single post in the proper place to discuss website issues (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/board,3.0.html).  Not a single one of you took even the slightest effort to lodge a complaint in a sensible and reasonable fashion using the proper outlets.  To me, this shows a lack of respect.

Furthermore, as it was stated multiple times, the theme change is and was a joke and the Communist theme is and was kept up in spite of that.  "Deal with it" is a reasonable response, especially considering the level of vitriol that was being spit around by some users.  In McCarthy's day being called a Capitalist pigdog would hardly be considered an insult, and now it's taboo to mention? 

Muffin's point about fueling irrational anger is flawed since it is dealing with anger that is, in fact, irrational.  With anger that has no rationale to it, then is no one true effective method to deal with it.  Once again, the user that has become irrationally angry at a theme change is at fault; the fact that they would get even angrier at being told to calm down only lends further credence to that theory.

Anger is hard to please. This thread is not supposed to be taking with a grain of salt (or less). People who get riled up over something that was supposed to be comedic do no belong here. As serious is "suspended into glittery magic." How much more simple can this explanation ever get?

Holy fucking shit. Why did this turned out to be such a big deal?

Anyway, forgive me if I'm restarting something, but I have to say that I think both sides are at fault here. Some people overreacted about what was supposed to be a passing joke, yes, but I think that making a topic like this would only exacerbate the situation. Sure, the topic title's a joke, but (speaking from personal experience) when people are pissed off, jokes (especially mock-insults, even ones as stupid and ridiculous as "capitalist pigdogs complaining about the glorious theme") will only serve to make them more pissed off. Yeah, they're angry for a stupid reason. So?

Probably some short, serious message before the "deal with it" image would have helped. But as it is, it just seems like "lolz dude its teh internet nothing is serious here :V :V :V ur stupid."

Yeah, I'm more on the side of TSO and the other people who are in favor of the joke. Still think it could be handled better.

this is all there really is to say on the matter (http://i725.photobucket.com/albums/ww260/Dragoshi/ThisIsStupid.gif)

I'm not sure how writing, say, "Hey, CPMC, calm down. You're overreacting to this. It's just a temporary joke, lighten up and we can all have some fun." is reinforcing a temper tantrum. Which is what I was thinking could be placed in the first post rather than the "fuck off, whiners" image that's there right now.

On the WotC forums, they used to have little pranks on April Fools. On one AF, they replaced the avatar of every forum member with a picture of My Little Pony.
As you may (or may not) suspect, people got irrationally upset about that.
There was even one guy who was actually equinophobic there. And you know what? The equinophobic guy told the complainers to suck it down. The only person who might have had an actual right to complain.

I think what I am trying to say is...

Whatever, this has stopped being fun for me because of all of the bitching and moaning.  You can have your stupid theme back and I'll definitely think twice about trying to have fun with you guys next time.

Yes I know it's only 1 or 2 people doing the actual complaining, but that's all it takes to suck the fun out of what amounts to a very shitty job I have here.  I just wanted to play around and play with a gag started by Edible, and I even tried to make it as "unoffensive" as possible by limiting the shenanigans to CPMC.  But I can't even do that without people berating me and making me feel like shit for even trying.

One thing that surprisingly wasn't noted too, is that I saw some people going "waaa but it's the christmas theme and christmas is coming lol".
The christmas theme was put there in what, march? And precisely because it wasn't Christmas or anywhere near it. That's CPMC, we're supposed to joke about stuff.

So, in this forums, the Whites won in the end, huh. I liked the theme, it was just kinda painful to look at, though in the end it turned out that was because my brightness settings were set to too bright. (Now even this whiteness is bearable. It's actually grey, who knew.) :V

Whatever, this has stopped being fun for me because of all of the bitching and moaning.  You can have your stupid theme back and I'll definitely think twice about trying to have fun with you guys next time.

Yes I know it's only 1 or 2 people doing the actual complaining, but that's all it takes to suck the fun out of what amounts to a very shitty job I have here.  I just wanted to play around and play with a gag started by Edible, and I even tried to make it as "unoffensive" as possible by limiting the shenanigans to CPMC.  But I can't even do that without people berating me and making me feel like shit for even trying.

Don't let it get to you. There are always people who are going to have an issue with something. Best thing to do, really, is address it once and move on.

Warning, while you were posting people ninja'd your shit.

....what Aliquantic said, I guess.

Also, is it weird that I have my computer at full brightness and yet I had no issues at all with either theme?

It is funny how you people compare the April's Fool joke to CPMC's red theme.

Two completely different league of jokes. With the April fool, NONE of you could post. With the theme joke, it was just eye rape with no limitations.


Seriously a lot forum users among us has lost my respect rapidly. I am normally not quickly upset about jerks on the forum, but this was totally unnecessary and uncalled.
