To wish that if people don't like a thread topic, they should just move on to another?

I'm sick of when people post about a particular issue on MN, loads of people post saying "boring!", "sick of seeing these threads", "this has been done to death OP" and "can we have a seperate topic so we can hide this?" Hmm

FFS no one makes you read every thread, if you don't like it, move on! And it doesn't take a genius to work out that not every single MNer has read every thread that they have, and so for some it will be a new topic. Seriously, what's the point of making these 'contributions'?

Sorry, I'm very hungover moody today and need to vent. Wine

I don't care about yet another transy thread

But when some some cockstruck woman posts about how she is still bleeding after some bloke "enthusiastically consensually" shoves an article of his anatomy in a place that isn't meant to receive it and the recipient is "still bleeding" it's difficult not to have an opinion

Sparklingbrook · 13/03/2016 22:53

Actually I have only had AIBU unhidden for a month or so now so the bus threads were probably in there and I missed them.

AF that's a bit unfair.

It made me wince too but she posted it in the sex topic at least.

Fuzz01 · 13/03/2016 22:55

I agree, was particularly digusted by someone heartless comment on someones post who was really devasted , they could of moved on and not got involved but felt the need put the boot in.

AnyFucker · 13/03/2016 22:56

Does the fact it is posted in a particular topic make the concept OK ?

Sparklingbrook · 13/03/2016 22:58

Does the Sex Topic need some sub topics?

AnyFucker · 13/03/2016 23:00

If I posted that my husband flayed my backside to the bone in the sex topic would that be OK ?

Because some people enjoy a bit of light arse slapping ?

Don't be blinded to what you are reading. Medical advice is that it is not normal to bleed after sex. Do we close our eyes to that because "well at least she posted it in the sex topic"

WorraLiberty · 13/03/2016 23:01

Whether the concept is OK or not, isn't really the point.

Two adults were happy enough to do it and apparently enjoyed it.

God knows why, but different strokes and all that.

Better she posted it in the correct topic, than Chat or AIBU. Or god forbid, Relationships Grin

WorraLiberty · 13/03/2016 23:03

If I posted that my husband flayed my backside to the bone in the sex topic would that be OK ?

Yes.

If that's the sort of thing you both enjoy, and you wanted to discuss it with other like minded people, then that's exactly what the sex topic is for.

It's not really for people to then click on the obvious thread title, and get all annoyed about what they've chosen to read.

Best to ignore and let the people who want to discuss it, just get on with it.

AnyFucker · 13/03/2016 23:06

It is the point.

Bleeding after sex is not a "sex" issue. It's a medical issue. It's not something to attention seek or knock one out over which I believe is the raisin d'etre of the sex topic. Anyone who cheerleads a bleeding woman needs to take a good look at themselves.

AnyFucker · 13/03/2016 23:07

*raison

Flaming auto correct

WorraLiberty · 13/03/2016 23:09

If you believe the raisin d'etre of the sex topic is for people to knock one out, rather than to give a space on MN for adults to talk about their sexual practises, then I guess there's not much to say about that. It's your personal opinion so fair enough.

But the woman posted to ask if anyone else had experienced bleeding after being fisted.

She had advice about seeking medical help. I didn't see anyone 'cheerleading' a bleeding woman at all.

I just don't think it's fair to then refer to her on a thread here, as a 'cockstruck woman'.

WorraLiberty · 13/03/2016 23:11

I copied and pasted your 'raisin' Blush

AnyFucker · 13/03/2016 23:14

I believe you worra, thousands wouldn't Wink

And a woman that is so blasé about a serious injury after a "very consensual" damaging act is cockstruck, no doubt about that in my mind

Trollicking · 14/03/2016 00:14

Fuzz01 I posted on that thread. I thought it was really really horrible too. I felt so sorry for the OP Sad,

dontcallmecis · 14/03/2016 03:03

I don't mind so much when it's stacks on in the trans threads with "so tired of this/bored of this/should have its own topic, blahblahblah."

At least it bumps up the thread to the top of the page.

Which is where I like it.

The clue is usually in the title, so it's easy for me to move on. I don't understand why others find it so difficult. But then I don't have to.

daisychain01 · 14/03/2016 05:26

I can't stand those titles designed to hook you in.

AIBU to tell my DH to. ..

Sick to the back teeth especially when it's about putting the bins out because it's his turn again . It's so manipulative ffs I'm frothing now.

RaskolnikovsGarret · 14/03/2016 06:39

I agree OP. I think it's terribly rude, esp to new Mumsnetters who may not have seen the thread topic on here before. Just because you have seen the topic before, doesn't mean everyone has. Some Mumsnetters aren't on here as much either, so could clearly miss a thread. If you have been on here a long time and are bored by the topic, move on, no need to eye roll and criticise the OP's choice of topic. They should be free to start a thread on it.

ThenLaterWhenItGotDark · 14/03/2016 06:51

The whole roll-eye not this again is just another way of being nasty to new posters. "Don't we have this conversation at least once a week, all my fellow MNers who've been here for years you sadsack newbie" is the subtext.

Like we needed any more of that.

ThenLaterWhenItGotDark · 14/03/2016 06:52

I think I saw the thread fuzz is referring to as well, and some of the comments are fucking disgusting. I reported and asked HQ to at least remove them but who knows....

ILeaveTheRoomForTwoMinutes · 14/03/2016 07:24

The thing is the thread that has prompted this thread. Was actually about abused women by sexual predators (not transwomen)

It was a link giving a voice to those women and their abuse.

But with everyone piling in just to voice their own petty complaint. The thread quickly deuterated.

Any new person opening that thread is quickly confused about what the thread is about.

It didn't have trans in the title because it was suppose to be about the abused women.

I found it so disrespectful that people were so vehement.

Sparklingbrook · 14/03/2016 07:46

It's not always newbies. Sometimes the OP fancies yet another bunfight heated debate about the same subject and knows exactly what they are doing.

Sometimes they do say 'I know this has been done to death but...' which at least acknowledges it.

ILeaveTheRoomForTwoMinutes · 14/03/2016 07:54

I didn't say it was a newbie, I said if a newbie opened that thread. They would be confused on what it was about.

Women talking about their abuse in the link.

But withouts watching the link, the signalling from some posters that it's something to ignore, hide, done to death, don't want to know about tran issues thank you!

Unfortunately that behaviour takes away the seriousness of the issue of women being abused by sexual predators (not transwomen).
