Trashy Zone

You are about to enter another dimension. A dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mind. A terrifying journey into the depths of human depravity. Next stop, the Trashy Zone.

Following these rules will increase your odds of making it out of the trashy zone alive.

  1. Be nice. Rude, aggressive and antagonistic commentors will be made leave.

  2. I don't want a classist definition of trashy being this subs main interpretation of trashyness. Posts depicting decadent displays of wealth are encouraged

  3. The five patron saints of the trashy zone are Charlie, Mac, Dennis, Dee and Frank from IASIP. Please pay homage to them whenever possible.

  4. No overly dark topics like sa or child abuse. I want a light tone to this place. What consistutes too dark is currently up to moderator discretion.

  5. Once this server hits 5k subs a community discussion post will be created. Ideas to build this community will be shared and discussed.

I'm not arguing that you shouldn't speak I'll of the dead or any of that nonsense, hell I was talking shit about her on the day the announced her death, you're welcome to check my comment history. But there's a difference between that and protesting at their funeral.

Shes got family and friends who are grieving - and while she may have been a terrible person (and certainly was, in my view) her family isn't necessarily, and they deserve their time to grieve as much as any of the rest of us.

I'm not advocating for rewriting her history, either the shitty things she did in her career or the "weekend at Feinstein's" shit that had been going on for the last decade, but a funeral just isn't the time and the place to point out what a shitty person she was. A funeral isn't for the dead, it's for the living who are mourning them - and they don't necessarily deserve to be punished for her actions.

She is a politician. Sorry, but grieve in private then, she chose for her death to be a political act and so made her funeral a part of those politics.

Thats not this guys fault. That was her decision.

He's not out of line. Many of these politician people don't respect us in life so we absolutely don't ever have to respect them in death.

Protesting funerals is specifically legal, shitty but legal. I'm personally fine with it as long as they're not actively heckling funeral goers.
