I always wonder how people would take it if they looked over my shoulder while looking at the DF forums..
suggestions for Kitten Cannons, mothers using their babies as shields, and elephants slaughtering many.

Can you think of any threads that would make people gasp if they read it over your shoulder?

[nbonaparte]

There's one thread where people have been trying to harvest merpeople for their bones...

[NRN_R_Sumo1]

not to mention the dwarven milk threads, or talk about cross training dwarves by drowning and stabbing with spikes at the same time.

[darkrider2]

Don't forget the plump helmet man thread or the children waterfall thread, and once I saw a dwarf mother surfing her baby over spikes.

I accidentally made my gf cry after I told her about the kitten butchering thread I was reading... XD so yeah...

[NW_Kohaku]

Goblin Fortress, Succubus Mod, the ongoing raging argument for or against poop, and of course, my personal favorite, the competition to see who could come up with the cruelest methods of breeding elves just to torture them for all eternity.

Also, I have no idea what "reading things literally" has to do with it, that was literally what everyone meant in context.  We really were harvesting mermaid infants for their bones, torturing elves, trying to create a continuous curtain of babies falling to their doom, inflicting kitten genocide for fun, dropping cats into the HFS just to see if the HFS could kill the kittens faster than they could give birth to more kittens, creating sex-demons to slather enemies with their breasts, and their toxic "excretions", etc etc etc.

Dwarf Fortress: In context, it's even worse than it sounds.

Well, one could say that we are only figuratively moving dwarves about to do terrible things to the world; literally speaking, we're typing on a keyboard to flip some bits on a hard drive. Those bits represent ascii smiley faces, which represent dwarves, but if you were to point to that smiley face and say "I am literally pointing at a dwarf right now" you would be wrong. Unless there's a dwarf hiding behind your monitor, which would honestly be pretty scary, and you should probably see to that situation before continuing this internet semantics debate.

[quinnr]

Yes, sorry for my grammatical error

[Ethereal.Frog]

Not, grammatical, just an error with the usage of the word. Grammar pertains specifically to the structure of a sentence; Whether or not one puts excises a preposition and whatnot.

In other news, my friends are used to me making hilariously over the top multi-paragraph death threats, so DF remains within the non-squick boundaries.

It's also ripped directly from Ender's Game.

trying to create a continuous curtain of babies falling to their doom

Try nuffin, I succeeded at it, if only for a brief "flow." And about 90 percent exploded on impact too, baby/child mist.

[Noble Digger]

Even I'm scared to mess with Goblin Fortress.
