badposting is a comm where you post badly

This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.

Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?

Rules:

Do not post good posts.
- Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
- Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
This rule intentionally left blank.
If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.

Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

this comes up every so often and I don't think it's poorly received. it's really just cis het dudes sexualizing people that causes problems because of how dominant that particular gaze is. now that this site is majority queer, it might be worth revisiting. like we already leave horny posts from obviously queer people up, especially if they're funny, like that gem about pretending to be an imperialist so the hexbear hyenas eat them. but something to keep in mind - it's not always pleasant to encounter sexual content, especially when you aren't expecting it, and it's outright triggering for some. we have to strike a balance and, at least personally, I feel like we're at a good one or very close to one: be funny, don't make being horny the only point of the post, and don't sexualize specific individuals.

I agree with the take about it being triggering possibly. I've had to unfollow queer leftist Instagram accounts because of an excess of hornyposting. I wouldn’t describe myself as sex-negative at all, but sometimes, it's just so damn overwhelming. I am demisexual in a sense, and the only person I feel too strongly about at this point in a romantic/sexual context is my partner. That may be a reason why it's disturbing for me sometimes, but either way, a pinch of horniness isn't that bad... just don't overdo it, I guess. Too much of it is cringe.

Also, when filthy straights hornypost, it's even worse. I actually think my staunch disdain for heteronormativity made me pretty much unironically heterophobic.
