discussion Is ATRL low-key toxic?

[boneyard]

It's fine now but it used to be really cancerous years ago

[God_Donna]

Not like it used to be whew 

[prézli]

Low-key?

[AMIT]

yes and we all know the reason for it but I'm not gonna say it because I don't want to be even more annoying

 

[Life Savers]

Yes, but it used to be worse so whatever.

 

[Femalien]

It's the whole point of the website and it has gone HELLA soft. Bring back Stand Your Ground, please!

The blatant racism from some users in the old SYG threads was insane. And it went unchecked. One notable member would post there a lot and call Beyonce a monkey

[imabadkid]

girl it was muchhhh worse back in the day. it's actually calmed down over the yrs.

[ChrisTheLoner]

Is this a trick question? 

[Into The Void]

Do you mean high key toxic?   Yes

[Alldeezy]

It has been, but tbh I think the entire internet is toxic. 

[popmusicisdead]

not toxic enough actually 

 

[G.U.Y_Del_Rey]

Kinda, but I've seen worse in real life

It's obvious you weren't here when it was still OldTRL.

[Helios]

Only the general threads are toxic. Base threads are fine.

The way logging on to ATRL back then used to be like going to war.

 

[Kiss It Better]

always has been

One thing we need to stop doing as gays is using female artists as a sports league where they’re dragged, judged + ranked based on arbitrary stats and numbers—

 

some fair(live performances, dancing), some unfair (age, weight, success in Europe, wtf?).

 

I’m guilty of it too but we could do better.

[Bacardo Royale]

I miss SYG, that was the wild wild west

 

[Phaunzie]

No, ATRL is high key a toxic environment, anyone who says either wise is a liar. We take pride in dragging, laughing at, being shady to and being abusive to each other on a daily basis. Girlies hide behind their successful faves to drag those that are as not successful as theirs for a quick kii. ATRL is a case study in Tribalism at it's most extreme. We are a very dysfunctional family unit. We are ATRL. 

 

It was more evident with SYG, however most are the toxicity is regulated to secret fanbase Discord (LMs), and Twitter (where most ATRL racists show their true colours).

ATRL is only toxic if you make it toxic tbh.

[Theshigo Washidu]

Everywhere is toxic tbh, that's just the internet.

Not really, its the raining wp and “can I speak to the mods?” attitude over the littlest thing that brought the site on to the flop era.

Only if you take too seriously, which you shouldn't be on the internet, especially on ATRL. More like people cannot control on what they consume, I would just log off and find better communities if i was you, like r/popheads maybe.  The unfiltered banter on ATRL is what makes it fun and it has been like this since the day I join.
