Re: MEME PET PEEVES

honestly the only people I’ve seen making anti-gen conspiracies are people who are anti-gen only players

i’m a huge pervert, I don’t think I’ve gone a day without a smut tag for years, I remember when people considered smut weird and judged vanilla stuff, but there does seem a genuine slide, intentional or not, of BS being less gen friendly, e.g. taking a meme which can accommodate all types of play and then locking it down to smut only, which also prevents the all purpose version from being posted for a week. the assumption that it’s an ‘ewww sexy gross 🤮’ reaction is weird- i used to be able to get threads with hardcore fucking or goofy adventure or sweet shipping from the same top level. Most (probably all) so-called gen memes are actually all purpose. you can fuck in the bathroom of Denny’s, you don’t need a Denny’s Meme with a Sexy Twist

so many words from a bunch of people who haven't even tried to post an identical gen meme with a slightly different title, like everyone else

is your premise that if you posted in the truth or dare meme with (gen only) in the header you would immediately be set upon by demons and devoured

having read this entire thread and many others like it, anon, no, i don't entirely want to post gen only in the smutty truth or dare meme.

looks like you should read it again

why are you being shy about what you think will happen? was this all just bad faith from the beginning?

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

i've only just started commenting on this thread so no

tbh i figure people on the smutty meme want to ... play smut?? is that weird? am i wrong? is there some reason i shouldn't just wait for the plain truth or dare meme to come back around

Re: da

the problem is entirely that because bakerstreet is roughly 75% smut memes, the remaining 25% is not always evenly distributed, and gen players don't like every gen thing (any more than smut/shippy players like every smut/shipping thing), there can be long stretches of time when there's literally not a single damn meme on the first several pages of bakerstreet that i can play in. especially since the memes i like tend to get dropped all very close together, most likely out of pure coincidence.

"just post your own" doesn't work because there's a time limit before you can post the same meme, so if the one i like is less than two weeks ago but it's on page five getting no traffic because thirty thousand niche shipping memes with twenty blank toplevels and no actual threads have crowded it off, i just have to sit here and stew.

so yes, that results in some frustration when yet another meme that i could otherwise play on is carefully edited to exclude the sort of threads i am interested in, pushing the last meme that i would otherwise play even further down into the depths of the backlog where nobody will touch it while simultaneously not bringing the repost date any closer.

you realise you're the one causing your own problems by being so picky about what memes you will decide to play in. there's only one meme you like? really?

if people aren't tagging the gen memes then that's not bakerstreet's fault or anything to do with the fact that there are shipping memes, maybe the real reason you can't find anyone to tag you is because you're in a community that broadly prefers smut and shipping and maybe you need to just accept that instead of whining about it

Re: da

looking at the gen memes currently posted on bakerstreet, imo the biggest problem is everyone just dumping top levels and not tagging around at all. most of them are getting a decent amount of tag-ins but hardly anyone is actually tagging around to get threads started. if half the people who tagged into those memes tagged someone else's top level, there would probably be plenty of threading going on.

or maybe

just maybe

it's getting no traffic because no one wants to play in it

+1

memes on the gen only comm barely break 50 comments on a good day from the same handful of people tagging each other

there's just a smaller audience for gen only memes, that's reality

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

"just post your own" would work if you actually did it

you could make a bunch of socks right now and singlehandedly transform bakerstreet into 75% gen memes daily. it doesn't matter if anyone posts in them. no one posts in the niche shipping memes either

i know you won't because it's more fun to stew and bitch about it, but you could

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

you were going to post gen on a truth or dare meme? like forget the sexy twist part, you were looking big time for gen truth or dare between the REGULAR postings of the not-sexy-twist version? like you were jonesing for it that hard?

but you've been prohibited, by swarming invisible demons who shoot bad vibes at you, from posting gen on the sexy truth or dare meme?

and you can't post a truth or dare meme on the gen only comm?

say it ain't so

these anons don't actually want to play in the truth or dare meme is the thing

in fact, i am not sure why we are pretending like bakerstreet is champing at the bit to play our biweekly all purpose truth or dare meme and the sexy meme has now ruined everything, except that it's very dull in here recently and it's fun to call anons who disagree with us idiots

i used to run smut games and even back in 2013 gen-only people would come TO THE SMUT COMM and ask me, the mod, to run gen-only events, or else they wouldn't app. the current crop of gen purity princesses sound no different.

i think there are a handful of players out there who really think what's stopping them from getting the threads they want is Smuttiness, even though they cannot ever be satisfied with all the gen games, events, memes, communities that crop up. i think they really, genuinely believe that their Forever Partners are out there trapped in the smutty spiderweb and if they just keep wrecking balling at smut things, the Forever Partners will see the error of their ways, come clean, and start playing gen.

that sounds utterly bananas, anon, i will not lie

please accept this prize of one (1) slightly stained tinfoil hat

Re: MEME PET PEEVES

it is utterly bananas. the thing stopping most gen only players from getting the gen only threads they want is the gen only player being offputting.

you can have your hat back, it isnt necessary to signal that ive made you uncomfortable by speaking plainly about your superstitions. it was kind of offputting of you, ngl.

that's a wild story anon, but what's that got to do with a self-admitted smutter anon complaining about the sexy truth or dare meme on bakerstreet
