Is this normal-sounding family-man comment about kayaking in Mulberry River supposed to be satire? It's posted in /v/SoapboxBanhammer.

Kinda stopped reading there tbh. Anyone posting in a soapbox sub is bound to be bullshit.

Some good goats post in those subs. This place is pretty serious a lot of the time, and shitposting is how many let off some steam.

I used to think the same way, once upon a time, but I found some really good folks that just really enjoy shitposting.

I'm not saying shitposting should not be tolerated, just wondering why we should take anything a shitposting account says seriously.

What's a "shitposting account"?

I have posted on soapdox. I also tell people to build guns and give DIY instructions. Those guns actually work. No shitposting.

u/Empress posts in soapdox. She also runs v/TraditionalWives. Is that entire sub BS or does it give actual useful advice?

If an account is only used for shitposting and taking the piss then it's probably not worth worrying about.

Sorry for branding you all with the same iron:

That might have been too harsh.

I only use one account. I'm not ashamed of my shitposting. I think v/soapdoxbanhammer plays an important role on voat. People need a place to be silly. Voat is a very serious place. Too many blackpills can poison.

If somebody is using an account for nothing but shitposting, nobody WOULD take what they say seriously. The problem is when people make serious and controversial posts, then refuse to defend them but fall back on "it's just a prank, bro!"

Fair enough, but are any of that account's post's serious? He just comes across to me like the class clown.

Like I said, I don't have a problem with shitposting or soapbox subs, they're harmless provided you don't take them too seriously.

Is it a serious post when he attempts to sic pedophiles on a child and threaten to murder another?

Is it just bad humor?

Broc_Lia ago

From having looked through his comments? Probably edgy nonsense.

Shizy ago

Probably edgy nonsense.

I'm sure most of it is. But he sent a threat to kill my kids over pm. I take that a lot more seriously than a public shitpost.

Broc_Lia ago

Have you contacted putt about it? That's not ok.

Shizy ago

Yes it's been reported. A threat like that on its own wouldn't seem like a big deal. Put them together and I don't think it's funny.
