It reminds me of girls who think that they can't fit in their jeans because "they shrunk in the dryer". chipmusic.org needs to take a good look in the mirror, step on a scale, and realise that if people are staring at its ass, it's not because it's bootylicious, but it's just plain fat. And don't even get me started on those thunder thighs, girl!
OK, plainly and simply. any time someone points out something wrong about this place, everyone, especially the mods go all "nuh huh, nothing is wrong, troll!", instead of trying to question if there is something wrongly elitist going on, and what could be done about it.
In the last few weeks, I've asked mods 2 times how close I was to getting banned. Because, overall, it feels that if you post things like that, you're about to get the hammer.
I sometimes wonder why I haven't been banned yet. I have to admit it's, I think, because I have friends here, and I help with shows. I think if someone that was in another position came here and posted the exact same thing, people would get on their back instantly, and they'd probably end up being banned.
