fuckin YIKEZZ your takezz are rancid [hatemail]

⎈ What takes? I haven't said anything opinion-based yet. ⎈

⎈ You want a bad opinion take from me? I believe the entirety of the clown church, as a whole, needs to be deconstructed and surgically removed from the government. I don't believe being a lime or cherry inherently makes one cullable. I think caliroll sushi is delicious. I believe the entire system of culling, both Alternian and Beforian, is flawed deeply and requires deep adjustments. I have never liked earl grey tea and I think everyone who claims to like it is a liar. I threw someone overboard and into the ocean, tied to several cinderblocks, in a drunken rage back on Beforus and was never prosecuted. I believe everyone should install a dayshade on their hive, just because they look good. I think voting-based systems could be incorporated into governmental systems. I, personally, would find a long-term effort to transfuse blood into another troll to change their blood color fascinating and would happily fund it. I believe tartan is the ugliest thing ever made and the creator should be rebuked for all time. ⎈

⎈ You haven't even sea-n rancid yet, love. ⎈

⎈ Misconceptions about culling ⎈

⎈ So, now that I've settled back in, I see that (Beforus) culling is once again a hot-button topic around here. ⎈

⎈ As I've seen some less than savory claims from non-cullers - and some rather despicable displays of incompetence from certain cullers as well - I'll be attempting to debunk some common misconceptions about culling. ⎈

Your cullee would survive on their own just fine!

⎈ Incorrect. While not all trolls in the system require constant supervision, attention, assistance, and resources, the culling system is built to assist cullees like mine. Disabilities come in all shapes and sizes, from being physically maimed, mentally ill, or emotionally unstable. A cullee may have a disorder such as schizophrenia, which cannot exactly be 'timed' to match a mediculller visit, or 'cured' through any means. In such a situation, a culler will be the best option for them. They can rely on someone being there to help ground them, take care of them, and clean up after their episodes. Without a culler, they would be completely on their own and possibly could hurt themself. ⎈

2. Culling is just keeping a pet!

⎈ Wrong and disturbing. Genuinely rather gross to imply. Cullees are not pets. First of all, they are capable of speech, which pets are not. Cullees are able to negotiate, vocalize, and communicate, and furthermore, they have considerably more rights than a pet does. If you consider culling to be in any way similar to keeping a pet, not only do I strongly suggest you never even consider speaking to a cullee, but also consider not keeping a pet. ⎈

3. Cullers just keep cullees to get into quadrants with!

⎈ Sigh. While the act of culling may dredge up many pale feelings for a culler and cullee duo, they are not mandatory, nor would any good culler go into that system in order to get a quadrant ticked off. What a repulsive notion! In other words, no. A culler and cullee may end up leaning more towards pale, due to the amount of care and affection which goes into culling, but that does not mean all are, nor does it mean anyone goes into this sort of situation with that kind of expectation. It would be ridiculous to assume that, and further ridiculous to apply a label of quadrants to any culler and cullee unless otherwise stated. It isn't uncommon, though, for an ablebodied troll to cull their disabled quadrantmate as a means of protecting them. Perhaps you're thinking of pre-established relationships as newly established ones. In my three sweeps of being a culler, I have only met two cullers who were in a quadrant with their cullee, both starting before the culling itself took place. ⎈

4. Cullees are all being abused!

⎈ While I don't doubt that there are some cullers who are less than savory, and perhaps treating their cullees rather horrifically, that does not shame the entire system. In fact, I have helped a cullee file to be removed from a culler before, so I'm well aware that this is an instance where the system typically fails to properly address concerns. There are several reasons for a cullee to take issue with their culler - perhaps due to neglect, verbal abuse, overly strict rules, etc. - and none apply to all cullers. As a caretaker, of course it is possible for a culler to leverage an unfair and toxic power dynamic, but that is possible in any interpersonal relationship. ⎈

5. Cullers only take on a cullee to avoid being culled themselves!

⎈ I have genuinely no idea why this strange idea exists. Nobody I know of has ever done this, and moreover, no record of someone doing this has ever been brought to my personal attention. But that isn't how it works, regardless. ⎈

⎈ In short, while there are many fair criticisms one can take up with culling, these five in particular are nothing more than nasty rumors, spread based off of misinformation, if I had to guess. Of course there are many qualms one can take with the system, but not all are applicable to every culler and their cullee, and to assume they are is rather ridiculous at best and vile attempts to poison the well at worst. I hope this clears some things up. ⎈

mod anchor stop flirting

⎈ Well I never! ⎈

⎈ I have never flirted once in my entire life. Some of us are more interested in caring for our duties than in senseless quadrant quarries! ⎈

⎈ And even if I was flirting - which I was not! - it would not be with someone over the internet, let alone the moderators of a rival cringe blog! So that should answer that question! ⎈

[alternian-cringe-collector]

⎈ Let's get this ship a bit more shaped up, hm? ⎈

⎈ That's not what commentary is. Commentary is just making comments about content, in this case, the commentary is talking about other trolls' posts. ⎈

⎈ As for the blog posting cringe of the mods... I don't see why that would contradict our blog mission, to be honest. ⎈

[alternian-cringe-collector]
