An emote adds to the conversation? So how exactly does my facepalm add to the conversation? You don't know if I'm giving you the rating because I find your name calling with Barkeep silly (I don't actually care) or because I think elevating an emote to the level of conversation is head-bangingly lazy. It is the latter.
@GenXoxo makes a great case for the use of the positive ratings and if everybody used them like her I'd be fine. In fact, it would have been perfectly ok with me if she had given my post where I whined about them, a negative rating/disagree cause she also gave an explanation.
Since Amber says they are staying, I'm not going to make a separate thread, cause this thread is Exhibit A of why they negative ones are bad for a good discussion.
Well sometimes people don't have to interact with you. I cannot speak behalf of anyone who uses it. But I know I use it when someone has either derailed, said something a little ridiculous, or sometimes I use it as a face-palming the actions someone posts about someone. Especially if I don't have anything constructive to say. That's not a "Well clearly, I won if they have nothing to say."
My post where I was honest with my experience got disagreed with, but I took it as someone who wasn't interested in looking past their ideology or beliefs when it came to my healing and trauma.
I don't give a fuck when people do that. Not everything you put out there or your say in the conversation is going to approved by people. And that's okay. I've had thought provoking posts I've created that were I've been facepalmed or chill pilled. Didn't get my panties in a bunch when I asked why and never got a response.
I just adding to a reasons why someone may click it. We are busy girls, and I know most models read the forums when they are working. Just adding nuance and playing devil's advocate. Heybarkeep says he is open to discussion, but only with his hands over his ears. He already made his mind up on a group of us. But dude is making judgments based on emoticons. (Ironically, I think it's equally immature). But he also is lacking total self-awareness when he passes his judgments.
Same with Bocefish. Btw speaking of self awareness. I was being condescending and whatnot after he was to me. So when someone is going to treat people like shit, I'm going to do the same. But that's another dude who has a habit of being a giant hypocrite. BTW WHICH REMINDS ME. Bocefish, Have you apologized for accusing people of bullying when they were just challenging you perspective, then proceeds to call the most though provoking post an annoying bitch?
Guys if you are going to put yourself out there, you may not get positive responses. And that's okay. You guys would never make it as a camgirl. Maybe we are all harden bitches because we are used to people making comments without any explanation why. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Text comes off literal too. Smoke a peace pipe and get over it, IMHO.
