Yeah it's down

Time to bunker here again, fuck.

hasn’t worked for me for an hour, i went to /shelter/ and no one was there…

imagine the mods just turned off posting because they were tired of the infighting kek. oh my sweet jannie’s

Here we go again

Since lolcor is dead I will post my unpopular opinion here.
Anime/comic conventions are only fun if you go with friends and covered in merch or wearing a cosplay, otherwise, nerds are so bitter that even the vendors treat you like shit if they think you look "too normie" it's honestly idiotic.
Those events were supposed to exist so nerds could make friends and shit, can't they not be bitter for 5 seconds and pretend to be kind to people who aren't into showing their powerlevel like a parade of red flags?
Anime/comic events have been like this at least since the 2000's and it's even worse nowadays, it's like a place for nerds somehow also has cliques, like fucker, you don't have friends at work/school/uni, be friendly to the people that are paying to be in a event about nerd shit, you could then finally make a friend into the same shit you like instead of being a friendless loser or only being able to talk to the same 2 people for the rest of your life.
If anything, the normiefication of nerd shit was a good idea because now nerds can have a reason to be whiny little faggots that should honestly die alone at this point.

guys a stranger talked to me in public!! unprovoked! isn’t that crazy?

>>296201
What board even was that on? I completely forgot about it

>>296206
junkuchan.org!

>>296204
I wanted to go to a con ever since I was a little kid. Now, they just seem kind of sad.

>>296204
This makes me think of how fun vidcon and comiccon looked back in 2012…

A shame. I was about to post something autistic about Maria SH2 in unpopular opinions

>>296204
I’m a congoer and cosplayer who likes to carry itabags, and I’ve gone with normie friends and I have never once seen a vendor treat any normie like shit? I’m not disagreeing with your opinion but that’s news to me. Cons are heavily pandered to normies and FOTM shit so I don’t even see how that’s a thing.

I feel super sensitive today, like I've been on the verge of tears all day. Work sucked, trying to get groceries sucked… And I still have a class to do. I guess the pressure really is getting to me. I don't know if I can keep doing this…

>>296218
why did getting groceries suck?

>>296218
it’s ok

>>296196
I thought I had been banned. Here we go again…
This better not effect movie nights

>>296224
samefag, this post said it’s ok nonie kek i forgot the N word is banned here

>>296202
I'm a newfag so I'm pulling this out of my ass, but I think there's been such a large influx of new posters that the jannies can't keep up. The internet is expierencing a cultural shift, people are looking for somewhere to go, but most aren't willing to intergrate since the concept of gatekeeping died in the 2010s.

>>296227
Nta but how did you find lolcow and what made you decide to stick around? I like hearing newfags' stories.

>>296218
Not a doctor but have you been checked for anxiety? The real kind not the Tiktok kind. I had random bouts of not being able to go outside that escalated into me having a crying fit in a grocery store. It was probably obvious but I went to the doctor twice about it and they said I should drink less caffeine or maybe it's you're period. Third I finally got a referral to a pyschdoc who figured me out. I'm still waiting on a treatment plan but hopefully no more sitting underneath my desks for hours. Doctors are incredible useless and slow here, you'll probably get sorted quicker.

>>296228
NTA but I learned about lolcow during Covid from a friend. We were at a party during one of the lockdown breaks and she was pretty drunk. She started showing me the site on her phone. I'm pretty sure she doesn't remember and I don't want to tell her. I sometimes wonder if we respond to each others posts…

>>296223
Honestly IDK why groceries sucked- it was a rather usual event and nothing happened. It honestly might be like >>296229 suggested, and I have an anxiety disorder. To be fair- everyone on my moms side going back to my grandmother were super anxious people, so it wouldn't at all be surprising if this was the case. I wring my hands over nothing.

>>296226
Thank you. I know it's silly but seeing everyone post here makes me feel a little better.

>>296230
What thread was it

Anons tell I'm not being schizo but does anyone notice those (supposedly) two anons who vaguepost about each other? One types in lowercase and one types regularly. The sanic thread has been really weird. Also, I think they have spoken to each other in the unsent letter thread in /feels/. Does anyone know wtf I'm talking about?

>>296202
I really hope unpopular opinions gets dealt with once and for all. How can they keep turning a blind eye to it.

>>296228
how did you find lolcow?
I found out about dedicated lolcow websites in 2019. I didn't start using lolcow.farm until recently
>what made you decide to stick around?
I grew up in tumblrite culture and I just had enough. I probably shouldn't admit this, but I'm still loyal to it in some respects - I'm not a fullblown TERF, just critical of many leftist movements, I also don't believe in censorship, it's the root of real, non-internet oppression. I feel homeless in this highly divisive world, and places like lolcow are the closest thing I can get to the middle ground. I like the s there. They're intelligent and empathetic, I don't mind coexisting with their beliefs if I get a place where I won't be lynched for saying pedophilia isn't a sexuality and misandry isn't as bad as misogyny.

>>296236
Why… why did it delete n/onnies?

>>296236
Just peak on trannies already, you can do it. It's easy.

>>296236
Got linked there during the Jonathan Yaniv drama in 2019. Good shit.

>>296214
I was about to post something really weird and autistic in the bad fetish art thread

>>296233
Can't remember but I know it was weeby at first, then moid hatey, then husbando-y. I never pegged her as either except the middle. I had been known as the weeb girl since college so I can see why she'd show me.

>>296214
Let me guess you either hate her or you love her.

Posting is back up!

>>296244
Let's goooo
Thanks for hosting us CC

>>296243
I think she is arguably a feminist icon and most definitely a deep allegory of how men try to force women to mold to their desires

>>296234
Idk if you're still here but are they also in the "get it off your chest" threads?

>>296251
Yes I swear it's them. I think the drama is that anon 1 was raped? And anon 2 is girlfriend of the moid who raped her? I have no idea what's happening but I also don't get why nobody is calling these schizos out.

>>296253
Samefag, but I think lowercase anon is also that one anon who said she thinks the blackpill cocksucker sperg is someone she knows. I think picrel is who she's talking about. I remember that she said he was mexican? And his name is Edgar??

>>296253
I use to think it was one schizo and her multiple personalities samefagging with herself because the way they replied to eachother seemed too "involved" or "disjointed" (like another voice in someone's head) but maybe it was two people after all. Those anons always turn up at exactly the same time to aggravate eachother until posts get deleted. Feels bad. I hope they get on meds.

>>296254
That's a post from a moid who raided this board 2 days ago.

>>296257
The dijointedness can be explained by the fact that they post in threads where you can't reply to each other (usually). Sometimes they do talk to eachother though.

>>296253
i think she actually made this thread >>>/feels/117174 because it was like two people talking with each other using lowercase and uppercase but it honestly seemed like a schizo having a conversation with themselves and she talked similar to what you described lol

I'm also getting this error now, and yet I can see other posts being made seconds ago, after I repeatedly tried to post myself.

>>296496
Replying to myself, but fuuuuuuuuuckk this is so frustrating. I'm still getting the error. I'm not even banned or anything, why can other people still post?

>>296496
Same, I thought the site was down but then I saw that other anons can post just fine.

>>296496
Same for me. Might as well post some stuff we can't do on lolcow.
Moids aren't all bad

>>296496
I can't post from my VPN. I'm guessing the mods blocked them. Suppose it's better to stop shitposting but I don't trust the site to not be hacked or vindictive mods to leak my post history. I'm going lurker now.

This whole thing is very bizarre, I could post just fine yesterday so why am I unable to all of a sudden? Has anyone tried emailing the admins? Since we can’t let them know through /meta/.

what the fuck

>>296510
I don’t think it’s a VPN ban because I don’t have a VPN turned on

You can make posts if you open in a new browser. I opened LC on firefox and it started working and letting me post

>>296512
doesn't work

>>296514
samefag tried without a vpn, same result so it's definitely not a vpn issue

Wtf were the deleted posts?

>>296202
I have never seen a place so openly self-loathing and aggressively cannibalistic. The mods seem to hate their own website. It's like they don't even want to talk about lolcows with their obsession of saging and red texting posts. For example, how are YouTubers NOT considered lolcows? Frankly, all YouTubers are lolcows by virtue of publicly uploading on YouTube.
