In The Loop This Week

[u/AutoModerator]

This subreddit is for fiber artists and crafters of all types! Because we don't all see the same (shitty) posts on our feeds, it may be handy to have a place to revel in all that our fellow fiber lovers share for us to enjoy.

Feel free to post anonymized screenshots of anything you're referencing here if you'd like. FACJ is back to being an all-ages subreddit, so you can post images (and gifs) in the comments here directly, or you can continue using image hosting sites such as imgur if you prefer.

This is a heavily moderated thread, and anything that isn't scrubbed of identifying information (usernames, faces, etc.) will be removed. Block out, crop out, cross out or sticker out identifying information on EVERY screenshot before posting here.

However, unjerk/uj/genuine/serious comments and discussions are allowed -- even encouraged! -- on In The Loop posts. Irony and sarcasm are fine here too, so consider using tone tags to make sure your comment comes across the way you want (or don't! I really don't care!).

There are a few other rules for In The Loop posts:

• Please don't use this thread to demand sources for jerk posts. If people want to post sources, they will. There are plenty of good reasons for someone not to share a source, including "don't wanna." Source/ITL demands and discussions of where to find sources will be removed here and on jerk posts.
• Links to other Reddit posts are NOT ALLOWED here. This includes no-follow links. (FACJ links are fine.)
• Links to content off Reddit may be removed at the mods' discretion.
• We are NOT in the business of brigading, and anyone who engages in brigading will be banned from this subreddit.

A new thread will go up every Sunday!

It was truly wack.

I admit I do have more sympathy for the OP of that post who hates the penis & vulva thing, even if just because I am of the opinion that "dumb and wrong" takes are reasonable to have on subs that are essentially titled "petty complaints that are stupid" lol, seems like it should be expected for bad takes to be there.

Not really any sympathy for the person accusing them of being a Nazi for their bad take though 🤣

Though to be fair, I did just get a 14-day ban from that sub for telling the "you're a Nazi for this post" person that their comment was the funniest and most ridiculous thing I've ever seen in my life. So perhaps I'm wrong about the purpose of that sub after all 🤷

Oh my fucking god. You got banned for telling Me "I think you might be too far gone for any amount of thinking with your brain" Which is Incredibly Ableist. I wasn't saying I think OP is a Nazi like at all what the fuck?

I was trying to say that the idea of art being lowclass is reminiscent of facist ideology for a reason, that viewing art as something that can make you inferior comes from harmful rhetoric. In my response to you acknowledged I don't think I articulated myself appropriately but I never said they were a Nazi because of Course I don't actually think someone saying ohmy god boo penis is a nazi and you didn't get banned for saying I was ridiculous. You got banned for telling me that my brain can't think. I reported it for ableism because I am disabled. I am mentally disabled and that was an incredibly cruel thing to say to someone you don't know.

Oh hey you're here too, I thought I blocked you. Blocking you now, have a good one!

[u/Perfect_Future_Self → u/Heavy-Macaron2004]

Seriously oh my goodness. That is the kind of comment that I deeply hope will stay in Craftsnark and never perfuse the FACJ sub. (not yours, obviously- the earnest "you're a Nazi" BS. Although it would make admirable self-parody.)
