Ban WGW

Post by Hulkamania » #619408

This stupid copypasta has been running its course for years now, and I think I only thought it was funny the first couple times I saw it, the rest was just a heavy sigh of annoyance.

This is a tg "tradition" that for some reason is the sole exemption to rule 8 stuff that would normally get you banned in any other context. It's a piece of smut written about an actual child and only exists for pure shock value, which it stops even effectively doing after the first couple of times.

There isn't much entertainment to be gleaned from someone repeated it for the 500th time in tg history, to have the unceremoniously deleted by the admins and sent to ghost chat while everyone moves on with their lives.

Not only that, but it creates an administrative dissonance when people can be punished for rule 8 but seeing people reading this copy pasta is allowed, particularly confusing for new players on the server.

It's a historic relic of tg's past and has a lot more to lose than it does to gain. Traditions are just people who no longer matter telling you what you can and can't do, and this one is something that can be put to rest at last.

Every time somebody reads off smut into common chat WGW is cited to justify what they are doing. As a community we can still have silly traditions, lets not have kid fucking be one of them anymore.

It's practically bannable already and it hasn't been funny for years. I don't think anyone will really miss it.

A lot of people will probably be devil's advocate for it, probably for bad reasons, but even they won't really miss it.

Source that reading WGW is within the rules, except when used to spam:
https://tgstation13.org/wiki/Rules
Rule 1, Precedent 2
Spamming any channel is not allowed, this goes for radio spam, AI vox announcement spam, paper at camera spam and other forms of spam. Non-antagonists doing so may not defend themselves and may suffer from IC or OOC consequences. Antagonists can to a certain extent, moreso with reading things like WGW over the radio, but may be told by admins to stop if it becomes excessive. Spamming can result from in-game admin intervention ending in you dying, to admin warnings, to bans for excessive or repeated spamming.

Additional source that reading erotica can be treated as an IC issue:
https://tgstation13.org/wiki/Headmin_Rulings
viewtopic.php?f=33&t=12516#p327160
Lynching for erotica on comms: Lynching for reading smut, WGW, and spamming, especially on comms, is always okay. It also makes the reader nonhuman in silicon eyes. (PKPenguin321)

I fully support the removal of both the WGW execption from Rule 1, and the policy ruling that reading erotica in general can be handled IC as it tends to indicate doing so isn't a rule break.

Just make every reading of sick stories like WGW get the person killed by lynching or smiting, then banned.
That way people can enjoy the spectacle and the idiot gets banned afterwards everybody wins! (except the idiot)

That being said seriously just ban WGW.

I think you might be taking it a little too seriously and mistaking wanting to ban it for doing something of virtue. Rule 8 is meant to prevent ERP and sexual harassment. It's just poorly written and vaguely worded. Your time would be better spent fixing that. Reading smut over the radio has always made you valid to both the crew and the admins. It isn't an issue and basically never happens nowadays anyway.

The only times I've found it funny are when someone says the first few words over comms and the next thing I hear over comms is the AI proclaiming "OH MY GOD HE'S DEAD"

We really don't need to keep it around when it's only vaguely funny 5% of the time, it should be bannable.

Full support for complete removal of any mention of it in the rules and make erotica reading a pure OOC issue. WGW creates an enforcement dissonance with the rest of the rules and needs to be sent to a farm upstate for good.

I'm indifferent about the issue, leaning towards ban. But in the event that it is banned, I fear some overzealous admins might attempt a retroactive purge of all mentions of the pasta in-game or on the wiki. It was dumb meme, but it was meme that's a longstanding element of server culture/history. Merely acknowledging that it was a meme shouldn't be verboten.

While I generally don’t agree rule 8 is clear enough to be used to ban this awful copypasta, it should go just for the fact of it involving a minor. Let’s move on to something equally lowbrow but not with children alright?

Andy's age is never specified in the text. Given events are clearly non-canon, it's perfectly feasible that they're taking place sometime during or after Toy Story 4 where Andy is a full-fledged adult. But in an alternate timeline where Andy never gave away his toys and his still living at home with his parents.

We need the tendiespost version of WGW for that to be cannon, for real though, it’s creepy and a stretch of good faith to assume that andy isn’t a child when most of his onscreen appearances are of him as a child

This is such a stupid fucking meme to be freaking out about. You already have the means as admins to just nuke them for this, they get non-humaned by the ai when you read it and you get lynched right off the bat. Let's think about this for a few minutes, if this gets banned all it will do will cause abunch of people to start posting edited ss13 versions of WGW or as people have already said in this thread, other smut. I don't buy this "no no no its totally different because it references a fictional kid!" line of argument. Would you really have no problem if people just swapped out Andy for Andrew the adult of legal age? At what point is the library just gonna be removed and replaced with the space explorers job position.

I'd say that's part of the issue. Should we view all smut posted after a potential wgw ban as "evading the filter"? Should we also reflavor lube so it stops calling back to this dark history /TG/Station has of accepting child erotica? If the issue as Hulk has said is the actual children then would it really be evading the filter if you remove all mention of the child? If someone makes a clown and mime version of this ought they really get dinged for evading the filter?

If WGW loses its special case, then we can treat people posting WGW edits the exact same way we handle everyone else posting NSFW copypasta spam. I don't know what you're clutching pearls about.

The reason this suggestion is being made is people want to fit in by copying what other people do. What ends up happening is they'll post something not woody got wood in order to be original. This ends up getting them permanently banned. Because of this, woody got wood itself is something the admins want to remove from the community as a whole by actually punishing people for doing it and not just slapping them on the wrist for a single round as Armhulen is suggesting. By admins, I don't mean all admins. Some admins want to use it to pseudo ban bait people from the community when they try to be original wgw style.

I was trying to take the piss out of debating the authorial intent of WGW, but it didn't come across.

It pre-dates Toy Story 3 and 4, but it shouldn't matter.

The humour derives from the shocking subject matter combined with the terrible writing. It was obviously written ironically with the intent to be humourous, not to promote its subject matter.

Creating a moral panic about the implicit age of the character is just a tactic to make it easier to ban.

It's obvious the admins only want to ban it because they personally disapprove of it or are offended by it. They're trying to justify that by saying it falls under rule 8. But people have been reading it over Common for at least 10 years. Rule 8 has existed for a large chunk of that. The only thing that's changed is how the admins feel about it.

Coming up with justifications to ban something you're offended by is nothing new. It's like boomer parents and violent video games.

I'd unironically rather see it be replaced with a more modern and equally terrible copypasta (that isn't smut) than see it stay.

Crappy fanfics surely hold a special place in all our hearts, but just like it was time for Andy to grow and move on, so it is time for us. Onto new masterpieces of writing we must go.

Nobody is willing to actually argue that they want WGW in and think it's a good addition to the game, I rest my case

I want WGW in and think it's a good addition to the game because the reaction from the crew is funny and it doesn't harm anyone

There have been two bans in the last week that involved WGW
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=30299

is one, the other is your own.

In both of these the entire existence of WGW was used to justify peoples actions, and shows exactly what we've been talking about when we say it causes confusion around rule 8. The fact that you were directly involved in one these should make it more clear why this is an issue.
The other ban was quickly overturned but the fact that the incident occurs in the first place is evidence more that WGW being allowed leads to mixed messages regarding policy.

WGW has no special protections and can be treated like any other copypasta

For this reason we will be removing references to it in precedents and headmin rulings.
