Everything else is system-wide. Don't be surprised when your crusade falls on the deaf ears of a company that fired one of its best moderators because they felt she wasn't doing things their way. | |
| Nov 25, 2020 at 7:43 | comment | added | Nzall | @JBH Guess I should start my crusade for improving the SE rules again so they actually make sense and aren't arbitrarily applied to sites where such a rule stifles innovation and oppresses people with genuinely good questions. Also, I understand the value of the "no opinion based" questions for hard science sites where there are objective solutions to questions, like Stack Overflow or Super User. There is no damn value for a rule like that in softer sites like Worldbuilding, and I wish SE would just understand that. | |

| Nov 25, 2020 at 1:58 | comment | added | Justin Thyme the Second | No valid criteria for judging an answer. Why would the perpetrator want to go around biting into someone else's chicken leg? Same concept - it is a senseless act with no sensible reason except some incomprehensibel irrational dream sequence where nothing makes sense, or a slapstick comedy routine where making sense is irrelevant. | |

| Nov 25, 2020 at 0:46 | comment | added | JBH | @Nzall Welcome to the adult world, where there are rules and we're all expected to abide by them. SE is not a discussion forum and raw idea generation is a poor match for SE's usage model. What's amazing is that you're unwilling to understand the value of the rules. SE is a place where specific answers can be found to specific questions. If that's not your cup of tea, go to Quora or Reddit. | |

| Nov 24, 2020 at 19:26 | comment | added | chasly - supports Monica | This is largely the plot of The Country of the Kind by Damon Knight first published 1956! The synopsis shown here explains it well. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Country_of_the_Kind | |
| Nov 24, 2020 at 18:33 | comment | added | JS Lavertu | The anime "Another" has a similar plot element where a class of students purposefuly ignore the existance of a student to ward off supernatural forces. | |

| Nov 24, 2020 at 17:06 | comment | added | JBH | What's the fundamental premise of the Purge films? Considering no citizenry in its right mind would permit universal acceptable violence for any period of time.
