Why is this thread so offensive to the people that don't care

I don't get it
Not being HOT because we are voicing positivity 

it's fake positivity tho.
its not coming from a real place....

that's the worst kinda "positivity" to display

How the fck is it not coming from a real place? no one here owes anyone ANYTHING! Dont nobody have to say anything about anyone.  U seem miserable tbh, it's unbecoming

cause it's bullshit. loll

you one of the main ones recently making the big ole spectacle, making a thread shading afro

And did u bypass the posts in here where we realized where things started, why things became tha way they did,  apologized and moved forward.  You're too old to be this way.  This board has really done a number on you

but luv...
I can't purchase what you're trying to sell me. I know it aint real gorl...

cause as soon as he says something you might not like yall will be back to square one
and vice versa....yall can only "play nice" but for so long until yall reveal your true selves...

But who in here said we are all going to be friends after this? 
Why because i said someone is smart does that have to mean I'm not gonna check them accordingly when necessary? No one is claiming to have swept all issues under the rug from here on out.  There's TONS of messy ass threads here,  why is it so crazy to have one where there's a cease fire and we all just be civil? We were all in ur thread advocating for u to have that and not everyone there was some mel fan. Ur doing the same thing lew did in there and it makes u look miserable tbh. Im done responding to your mess

BECAUSE YOU DON'T MEAN IT. LOL
the only reason you're saying anything is because you're being prompted to do so...

you cant stand him, you can't stand lew....
so I'm perplexed as to why you're trying to give nice. you know you dont mean it Lavaughn. lol

You dont really pay attention as much as you say you do

Vonc' softened on Lew WEEKS ago. Open your eyes/heart Mel. You definitely aren't the guy i came across 5 years ago, right now. I mean, we've all evolved, but i dont like some of what ur putting out there. Its really not the same

hmm....
you may be right.

but I'm done here. I'll leave the gorls to kill each other with kindness. lol

I always figured people lurked. Hell, I lurk sometimes even when I'm not a member. We're an entertaining bunch.

And tbh I think the HIV and AIDS jokes are very offensive, late and not funny. A lot of you I'm surprised to see them coming from because you all are so intelligent.  The jokes make you all come off as very HIV phobic and that isn't cute.

Cringe worthy even.

Wow yeah I agree with this

[b7]

so...these people see us telling each other 'you have aids' and making those crude jokes about shannon and laiyah?

Sometimes i pray not, but, yea 

the main fortunate thing is that this board has its own language so it takes people a while to even know wtf y'all are talking about
most people would think ya'll are serious and that is kinda scary cuz i know that isn't the case

[LOONA.]

Mel, I like you

that's all that matters...

I don't know why you're steaming.

This board is messy as fuck, you should know that, but I'd say 90% of the mess isn't serious, even though it can appear so.

Fuck you Drais. Hard.

wtf

Why are we so quick to dismiss the impact of social/internet networks in this day in age. Especially considering an environment like this where members have been intimately e-involved since they were teens??

That's a good question, and I think it all has to do with walls a lot of us put up. These days it's all about who's the most "unbothered", "above it all"..."it's just a website, it's just a social network". I think many of us including myself are guilty of it to a lesser or greater extent.

In 2016 social networking accounts for a lot of interaction we have with one another. Maybe back in the era of dial-up/flip phones the term "it's just a <<insert random social network here>> " would be very relevant.

But people have lost their lives over social media beefs. I know a family that just had a bunch of drama based off of mess that went down on Facebook. These are still very relevant interactions, just through a different channel. I think the more people realize this, the less people will lose their jobs from FB posts or have people in front of their doors ready to fight "just" because they posted something offensive on Instagram.

!!!!!

and my perspective is a little different because i know im a rare breed in terms of being super super outgoing, and then all of a sudden
back into "hiding" whenever i see fit. I always make sure to still chat to as many people as possible even when indoors, but sometimes i shut everything off for peace, so although i cant speak for everyone here (and shouldn't try to) i do know that i personally have gone through at least a hundred different stages logging on to this site over the last 5 n a half years

I thought I'd outgrown it and even had negative thoughts of "Oh im above this shit now, too negative! haha" but i was dead wrong. I needed to come back and reintroduce myself, and for real this time. We're all real people. Every single one of us. It doesn't matter if its behind a screen. There's a LIFE behind the screen that we dont get to see and thats a big deal.

SO true. A lot of it is a choice 

But in my case, (right before i stopped posting for a couple weeks) I've learned through God that i'm the epitome of what an empath is. I feel it now more than ever, so there are MANY threads i haven't even read yet because i already know where it's going. I couldn't quite handle it at the time but now i just tell myself that i wont even enter a thread to even read it or go beyond page 1 if it's gonna bother me so much. It's all real life so i dont separate the two as much,anymore. SO, in this life, I'm now learning to feel and touch others without becoming so emotionally overwhelmed.

As you know, Artists of any kind can feel it more than anyone at times. It can be too much if you let it, but im great now.

I love you. Beautiful self

He could be my husband tbh

I am fucking bopping to Godmation

wow yeah..I've kinda always said this. Never got the ki in those kinda "jokes"

[b7]

I'm over here screaming

I always just mess and never think twice about the fact there are people all over the world who come and view the board daily

I might have to simmer downe a bit

literally ALL over the world sddsdssdsdsdsds u had no idea

just because people haven't gone through "the trouble" of creating an account and waiting for approval, doesn't mean they dont come here faithfully ssdsdsd i have really incredible friends that adore Brandy, music and a lot of YOU outside of this forum. Some of them literally call you by your usernames and have connected to you in some way

We're extremely influential. There are people that text me every now n then using bsource lingo and "ds;d;ddsss" that have never posted on this forum a day in their life.  i promise you. its actually beautiful to see and experience

it makes me wanna TURN UP

[b7]

Big Bertha, Genesis and Desi all want to be understood and I want to do a better job of doing just that. I may not care for their style, but I can still communicate better

I think they all have big hearts that are just maybe a little chilly right now cuz they feel they always need to be on the defensive.

Especially when the whole damn board gangs up on you daily

But thanks and this post was sweet. Never had a problem with you in general. Maybe some disagreements but it never went too damn far like with others on here . Water under the bridge

I feel you!!  thank you. DEFINITELY water under the bridge

[b7]

I've been friends with my friend for 5 years and he knew ALL my tea before we even became friends.

He knew about the whole bisexaulity lie and when I finally decided to live in my truth.

It's actually quite...scary! LMAO

omg



hey Libra twin.  what in the world ...
