More like a userbase of nerds who never leave their houses since it's impossible to go camping and not be hit with signs like these. That whole stupid struggle session was a bunch of nerds who never went camping and seeing decades-old signs about how you're not supposed to disturb the environment like picking up stream rocks trying to argue that not disturbing the environment like picking up stream rocks is somehow ultraleftism.
I forgot how they started arguing against leave no trace as well lol. It was honestly infuriating.
I remember someone going "I just don't think it matters if I mess up a flower bloom or stack some rocks" and then they were told that it did matter and how it mattered and they just went "yeah I just don't think that makes sense."
Lot of "well but what if I wanna stack rocks?" And "what if I'm terminally depressed and stacking rocks is my only outlet?"
It was a real low point for the site
I remember reading that thread when it happened, and thinking how ridiculous that all was. Like, it was something I’d never really thought much about but I was just like oh ok, that makes sense, I’ll be sure to remember not to fuck around with rocks. The responses were baffling. Do you have the link so I could revisit it?
Took some searching @CoolerOpposide@hexbear.net was the hydrologist. The thread, for your viewing pleasure.
Death to them!
Thank you!
