So what do they want us to do? Tear our 762 dollar BTSSB dress off and beat our breasts because this world isn't perfect? Fuck that shit.

Also caring about random bullshit that gets media coverage doesn't guarantee one isn't a nasty cunt. People can 'care' all they want and still make fun of someone who is fat because they can be cunts. My SJW former friend was someone who would go off her rocker every time someone didn't care about her pet Ethiopian project, but would make terrible jokes about people with Down's syndrome. So tut tutting at us about not caring about some black kid like they're on the moral high horse means absolutely fucking nothing.

I feel bad for the mod. She went through all the trouble of getting the secrets up and that person is still constantly bitching up a storm about what an "actual secret" is. I'm surprised she hasn't told them to fuck off yet.

I didn't submit a secret this week or post on BtB about it. But if they're going to start removing secrets for "not being a secret," maybe they need to actually create some guidelines... since more than half the secrets aren't secrets at all on most of the posts. It's a bit silly to say "this wasn't allowed because it's not a secret" but blatant not-secrets like the first secret, with the knees, are posted.

>> No.6972632

Would you rather a repeat of the 200+ post from months ago with a bunch of trash secrets to scroll through? I know mods have rejected a few secrets that only have a picture of an object and all they did was put a lolita bow on it.

>> No.6972633

>>6972626
Secrets count as controversial things. The knees thing is a somewhat controversial topic since it has to do with dress length. I think that shit like the Nicki Minaj picture isn't a secret cause no one is gonna comment on that. They're supposed to cause drama or 'debate' atleast, that's what I feel.

>> No.6972635

>>6972626
The way I see it is that BtB isn't just a secret posting site (where people can post anonymous things to bitch out others or expose shady things) but also a place to make commentary on what is currently happening in comms and in the fashion.

There really isn't anywhere except /cgl/ to make this commentary. These secrets-that-aren't-really-secrets are good in a way as they incite discussion. People can make commentary whilst anonymous that they may not be comfortable with using their LJ account.

Secrets have always been shitty.

>>6972633
But a picture of people showing knees isn't a secret. A "controversial thing" by itself isn't a secret. If they added something related to how they feel about the image--aka something that indicates why this is a secret? then yeah. Something like, "I think it's ridiculous that people don't bat an eye when Japanese lolitas show their knees but when a Western loli does it, PANIC" or whatever. But just posting something that's related to lolita or the community doesn't make it a secret.

>> No.6972644

they're called 'secrets' because you post them anonymously, not because they're literally a secret you asshat. fuck, some shit you don't even need a stance on, i could post the word replicas and have a 100+ thread.

anyway, you need to shut up because no one really cares at all. if you want 'good secrets' start your own fucking comm.

>>6972639
Going back over the Secrets, a lot of the images have an implied message behind them. If you weren't in the loop or didn't know the source of the pic, the implied message would get lost. So I can see why people are saying they aren't secrets.

From your comments, I think you are too literal to understand the nuances from BtB and therefore perhaps you should therefore stay away from there and refrain from commenting on anything BtB related.

the problem is, what counts as a secret? Why is x not a secret, but y is?

It's funny, normally people on /cgl/ are all over mod inconsistency. Maybe I just touched a nerve for you, since guidelines would probably mean that the majority of the lamer drama secrets (like the "this outfit is shit!" "this person eats peas!" and so on) would be up for removal.

Different anon here, I really don't think they're angry like you think they are, just annoyed that even though it's really just a matter of mod discretion, they're dragging it out so long for basically no reason. Plus, twilight was kind enough to post secrets even though failita is MIA. Everyone here is just telling her to calm down and let opinions be just that.

>> No.6972694

>>6972691
Honestly, the mod decides that. It's subjective. And if you touched a nerve, it's because we went over this before and it came up the same way. It's just subjective. Sorry if you hate human error so much.

"They," as in the person people are bitching about, only made three comments. The initial comment, then two replies. "They" aren't dragging anything out.

You have touched a nerve because several different people have said basically the same thing to you, and you respond with the equivalent of putting your fingers in your ears and going "LA LA LA". It has been explained to you, politely and in different ways and you continue to argue instead of shutting the fuck up and agreeing to disagree. There are other viewpoints than your own and labelling a subjective thing as the topic of secrets as 'mod inconsistency' is ridiculous.

Secrets aren't cut and dried.

>> No.6972817

I agree. The mod said views are going to vary no matter what on that type of rule. I don't think there really can be much of a guideline. I'd just exclude the one-word secrets or secrets where you just took a photo of a cat or dog and put a bow on it.

If you look at the strap compared to the back, the strap has a bluer tint while the back has a creamy tint. The flash would wash it all out more and even out the colours but you can still see its yellow.

The knee thing was only "controversy" for people who wanted to bitch about Misako. And no one really cares a out her so no one cares about one offhand comment that elegant ladies should have their knees covered.

The FB groups suck. The lj group is dead. If you would like to come to our meetups most of them are private and it's better that way since there's a lot of shit talking between groups and tension.the best way to break into the community is to find your own group of friends and that's difficult. If you're interested in coming to a meet sometime soon leave your email here and i can email over details if a meetup is planned. I dislike FB so I tend to plan things by texting or calling people, it's more personal that way.
