Horde callousness

9/10. Morris (as Jordan) posted a looooooong rant about how in-group we were. I have mixed feelings about that. I think we dogpile posters who who clearly come looking for a fight, or outsider posters who attack the more vulnerable posters. For instance, I don't think Orson realizes that one of the reasons he gets burned when he comes here is because he gratuitously attacked Lion and Horatio. Nobody cares that he attacked Klam or me, because it's assumed we can take care of ourselves.
Dogpiling can be fun, though, and I have no doubt that it serves a societal purpose. -

Lol I only read the doctor's post about horatio being asexual and wasn't a fan.
I agree with absolutely everything you said.
I think that since we're more of a clique it happens more often here than on other boards. But I think that most posters join in because they don't like someone attacking their friend and not just because there's blood in the water. -

No need to apologize. Just thought it was funny and figured it wasn’t how you meant it. I imagined myself as a Rainmanesque figure with his head down photoshopping something sitting outside at a cafe and then a meanie comes by and throws a milkshake at me.
“What kind of soulless monster attacks Horatio? Let’s get him!” -

There's some truth to that! You're our idiot savant, and posters from other boards don't get the mystique of the bright-eyed and unworldly Horatio persona, or appreciate the peculiar flavour of the extended Horatio-Bee exchanges about a retro middle-America. Since we can't explain it, we just beat them up if they're hostile.

They don't get his trolling either.
Honestly, horatio is probably the best troll -better than Pete or styg. But he doesn't care enough and gets bored
very
quickly so it just doesn't happen anymore except subtle little jokes. It's art. I don't expect everyone to get it
But I liked your wording about people assuming you and klam don't need help. I always think that about you guys and anyone who fights regularly. I usually think, "oh they're happy they have someone to fight" but now that I realize it's just an assumption I'm all worried that I should have been dogpiling your enemies with you! -

I think it's absolutely essential when it comes to social media. There are times when a woman doesn't like the attention someone's getting for being "hot", and will say "I must be a supermodel". Then you click on her profile and she literally looks mongo-bound. You're like, really? -

I didn’t realize this was a parody so 8/10. It would get 9 but I didn’t really understand the question - are you asking if we prefer horde callousness over dogpiling? Or are you asking which one we do more often? I just didn’t get it.

The title was 10/10 but I didn't really care about the subject so the body of it sucks lol.
The horde callousness is dogpiling, like Bentz said. That's how I meant it. I wasn't sure what else horde callousness could be
