I would hope that it doesn't fall anywhere. There isn't any kind of political revolution or progress that needs to happen right here on this website, but then again you'd be a bad communist if you let it remain an apolitical space.
No.1076
I don't think there is very much of a hateful presence on the site, though I will say I do enjoy imageboards because they tend to not have people who talk the sort of way that you do. Part of the appeal of sushigirl to me is that it ultimately originated from this imageboard culture, but didn't succumb to the blind hate and extremism many other boards did. Like, I feel other social medias have made one's personal identity super important, while what is nice about imageboards is that it's overall unimportant, extremely so in a case like this board where there is not much real bigotry. It seems there is a type of internet user (you) who feels the need to enter a space, and then announce their unique personality quirks to everyone to check how accepting they are of you before doing anything, but what's appealing about imageboards is the sushi rollymous nature that makes this exercise completely unnecessary. Just lurk, and participate where you feel, no need to do this sort of announcement, especially since I don't even know what other posts you are. That's whats so comfy, I can just come in, and say whatever without any scrutiny about what I (or others) identify as.
No.1077
>>1076(Continuing)
That's not to say I don't get you, I am not trans, but I am of the racial minority whose respective slur is probably the most spammed and used on western imageboards, so I get this feeling of alienation you have. I guess I just don't really get the need to assert your identity like this for the reasons mentioned in the other post.
No.1078

>>1078>It doesn't matter what your personal views on this or that matter fall because (a) we do not discuss politics orany of that stuffOkay but here's the thing: if me talking about my life is political to you and I need to hide every detail of myself then thats worrying. I can be openly trans and still be sushi rollymous. It's not political for me to discuss aspects of being trans, and someone's race or identity is only political if it is being gamified by bigots. If this is an accepting board then nothing about what I said (aside from being a commie) should be interpreted as political. If a cis/het person can talk about being cis/het then a trans person should be able to do the same.
The idea is not that I want to talk about this shit all the time, but rather I want to be able to be as open about my desires and joys as the rest of the users. In order for me to be comfy, I need to be allowed to exist just the same as you, and I can't do that if me wearing a ponytail is somehow "political"
No.1080
>>1079Look, if you ask if you're allowed to exist here while being however and I say yes, then you'd be the first person here to 1. have explicit permission to be here and 2. it would be because you're trans/furry/commie. I won't grant these privileges to you just like that and I don't want the status quo that comes with such preferential treatment. Nobody else has it in text either.
And, in contrast to everything else on this site, this thread is exactly about you asking for this treatment. If any of your qualities is 'political', for now it is so in this thread only and only as it pertains to this website. You made it for this purpose and brought your qualities in.
I think you've picked up some incredibly unhealthy ideas of how internet people are. We didn't all go insane over the past ten or so years.
No.1083
>>1079all i can really tell you is that yes you are literally allowed to be these things, and i haven't seen significant pushback against any of these identifiers, but the only way to get an idea of where this website falls or whatever is to just have to lurk and see what the community is like, since the community consists of a bunch of sushi rollymous individuals with no obvious identifiers of what they believe or identify as. you don't need permission to be here, just post or whatever and if you don't like the vibe, leave, if the vibe seems chill, stay. i get not wanting to talk to people who want to kill you, but under the normal casual discussions here, you will literally never know if someone here wants to kill you because you are sushi rollymous to them and they are sushi rollymous to you. you are thinking in terms of non-sushi rollymous interaction in a community that uses a sushi rollymity based format for communication. the only time identities, or opinions about identities matter in sushi rollymous places like this is in particular discussions about them, of which here there usually aren't too many.

I'd rather break bread with somebody other than you, but does it matter? We can talk, supporting and cuddling with each other is not something the two of us have to do.
One way to make use of an imageboard is for people to get rid of their identities. So that they can speak the truth, however different it may appear to them. So that what they say can be judged fairly, without getting their lives destroyed. So that people who would never ever side with each other would connect.
Anyhow, I remember a post on /lounge/ with something like "transgender women are not women" and a commentary in red that said "interesting" below it. Interpret that however you will.

Tbis thread doesn't sit well with me. For starters the OP posted a transgender flag, which is pretty much a provocation in any other imageboard. Sushi is comfy but by the premise of the thread, I don't discard it being a call for discord.
Then the OP did called themselves a tranny, a commie, and a furry on top. Furry I can take, tranny is not my thing to judge, and commie is just lack of oxygen at birth; but they also grstuitously appended some adjectives: smelly and "piece of shit", and on op threw a few buzzwords such as "safe space", which, again, in imageboard culture is a provocation.
So in conclusion, I believe that OP was perhaps looking to make an uncomfy thread. Later they posted this
>>1088 very dubious post on which I won't elaborate further.
Hey, at least they posted this on /hell/, but still brought forth a discussion on a very sensitive topic which tends to polarize communities.
I am very suspicious of OP's intentions.
No.1094
>>1093very genuine question: why does someone wishing to be accepted regardless of gender feel polarizing to you?

>>1094You ignored what sushi roll said, genuinely, it starts with allowing imageboards to be what they are. As others have said, we come here specifically because who you are doesn't matter here.

>>1097As nice as this would be if it were true, it isn't. Like yea it'd be annoying if people constantly referenced their gender, but having a gender comes up from time to time, yknow? it doesnt make me any more or less sushi rollymous for me to tell you i have lab grown tits and a farm raised cock.
but idk man what if i see a cute anime girl that i wanna relate to? What if we wanna talk about an anime that reminds me of my own struggles with presentation and identity and self realization? its not about wanting to shove my gender in peoples face, its about wanting to express my gender in the ways you do all the time without even thinking about it. its about wanting to express my gender the same as you but without people thinking im being obsessive over it.
tl;dr i want to be myself the same way you can be yourself. if you spoke about gender identifying traits you have nobody would question it, but if i do the same there are people who find it appropriate to remind me that half the country wants to either murder me or wants to watch me murder myself.
this shouldnt be a dividing issue. someone asking if theyre safe shouldnt be polarizing. this conversation would be over if they really just wanted to be comfy lmao.
in a real comfy space, someone would come in with a worry like this and be met only with "i dont think anybody cares just have fun and be comfy"
No.1099
>>1098It sounds like one way or another you have your answer then.
The thing is people pretty much did that, but it apparently didn't satisfy you. If you want a chorus of approval, I don't think any crowd on any imageboard is comfortable giving that to anyone at all just for their self-satisfaction. It's simply not in their dna.Unfortunately this was always doomed to end up like this, but honestly I'm pretty happy seeing how considerate most all the posters were.

>>1098OP, if you want to talk about how gender and anime are connected in your life then do that. If you want to creatively, constructively, or critically engage with your own gender on sushigirl, then you should do it. The problem that you're seeing here is that you're jumping into frivolous meta discussions about those things instead of actually doing them. You're not giving anyone a chance to experience your gender, you're dictating it to them and telling them you want them to like it. Your posts receiving rightful criticism for this doesn't make this place fake comfy.
You say you've been bobbing around for a while now. I want to encourage you to sink in a little bit. A friendly "lurk moar." I think if you really took a close look at this place's history you'd find some commonalities with the old heads here amd yourself. Even Seisatsu once shared similar feelings to you now (hint hint nudge nudge).
It's ok to be insecure or uneasy about this stuff. Being vulnerable in new places can be scary. But most of the time, the only way to let people like you is to open up a little. I hope to see some quality posts from you in the future.

If the point of the post was ask how we feel about your gender identity, then you shouldn't have brought up communism. We don't do politics here. If you had taken the time to browse the site more, you would have seen that most sushis are very open about gender feelings in ways like "I wish I was her". So please stop posting in this thread and just read through the site.

One of the rules:
>Stay comfy~! Uncomfy topics should be obvious, but include religion, politics, misogyny, racism, gay-bashing, ranting, insulting people's hobbies, intentional flamebaiting etc. and will be locked and moved to /superhell/ most likely.Even though it's not explicitly said, transphobia will likely get someone banned. Good.
Also, I'm partial to leftist politics myself, so I'd welcome you with open arms myself. Still, no politics allowed. I wanted to let you know that you're not alone here (politically). I also get why you'd feel this way since there's a lot of scaremongering around trans people and communism. Also, furries are hated.

Late post but I am literally a transfem furry leftist anarchist if that helps. I hope my users don't want me dead? :3
I think most people here are pretty chill and there's also a lot of open transness on the Discord in particular which I suspect reflects the demographic here to some extent. There are always gonna be outliers who are openly hateful about this or that but if they speak up we snipe 'em; this sushi shop has rules against causing a scene. That's the kind of place it tries to be amongst the greater imageboard community. You can generally rely at least on a certain level of courtesy.

I end up being negative and hesitant to post because I suspect the niceness is all for show and if people knew what I really look like things would be different. You end up automatically suspecting people. Sometimes I kind of prefer 4chan because small boards and forums are a small club and things seem nice until you realize the majority of people you've been hanging out with are actually hateful /pol/ adjacent freaks.

Its always strange when someone other a-nonymous on another imageboard thanks you for something or show that he enjoys exchanging with you only to rip into a minority group elsewhere in his post without knowing you are one of them. Its so strange. It feels good at first but after a while you just get tired of it. Exhausting. sushi rollymity is a beautiful thing in its own way.

>>1076I haven't been on this board in a few years, but I remember entering and lurking the discord for a bit. It was pretty racist, standard imageboard fare, which surprised me since the board seemed nice enough.

No.1249
>>1248It seems like a common attitude is "hey you are free to do what you want but don't signpost your identity or express your background" where maintaining sushi rollymity is wheeled out as an excuse to ignore people of certain backgrounds. But this can lead to policing of what people are allowed to express. But the kind of aggressive wear it on your sleeve oppression Olympics you see on other sites is really not desirable either. On the average imageboard, you are likely to take heat if you post anything mildly trans or minority related even if you aren't being a social media attention whore. Its probably worse for blacks and Africans though. And the obvious problem is when an identity is politicized, simply talking about anything vaguely related is likely to be interpreted as political and uncomfy.
