Look, maybe I'm culturally insensitive, but do the website buttons for rating posts gotta be those troll symbols? Every time I like a post, it feels weird. 'Cause, to my knowledge, the buttons translate to hornylike, hornyhate, hornyfriendly, and hornymediate. Yanno, 'cause of the whole... pail, drone, bucket thing.
That's kinda what makes it weirder to me, though? The symbols have a lot stronger cultural contexts for them, and knowing what they are, it's even *weirder* they don't just have a thumbs up and a middle finger or what have you.
When II send a heart, II send iit lliike II"m giiviing hugs and kiisses. =:D
I am merely speculating. But considering how spite is deeply valued on Alternia, it is fairly safe to assume that YES, it was indeed, on purpose.
Again, what I have said to Mr.Crowbar, seeing how much this culture values and encourages spite, it seems in character for them, so to speak. Again, however, I am speculating. I am no troll, so I can not speak for an entire species.
I know, right? These idiots flip each other off all da damn time. They gotta know 'bout da thumbs up.
D-->To insinuate that our quadrants are nothing more than preamble to filling a bucket is deeply disrespectful. I do not assume that all of your relationship symbols lead to various forms of intense, sweaty dancing and therefore are erotic in nature. Ne%t time you decide to so confidently e%pel such rhetoric I advise you take a moment to e%amine the deeper meaning of our system. #nsfw
They do, though. Both yours and ours. Anyway, I'm just sayin', if one of the fellas on our end made a web site, we ain't gonna use our own romance symbols for like buttons. Kinda the whole point of what I'm sayin'.
D-->Then your view on both our relationship cultures is bare indeed. The Pale and Ashen quadrants are not necessarily se%ual. While the multiversal nature of this platform may have f001ed you otherwise romance does not mandate the filling of a bucket to function, that process was enforced strictly by the Imperial system and in many universes including my own neither moirails nor auspacious third parties of a quadrant would need to provide genetic material for a filial pail as none would e%ist to be filled for either quadrant, their purpose was more cultural than government enforced. I should also point out that these icons are clearly just metaphors and not in-fact brazen solicitations to fill the quadrant they represent. And, unlike any website theoretically produced by leprechauns or humans, gives way to a breath of e%pression without lacking in nuance such as the human equivalent or being bloated and unnecessary such as any website created by leprechauns would bound to be.
