Back in the early days of this site the general megathread contained some of the most off-putting terminally online shit I have ever seen in my life. Fuckin weird ass cuddle threads and all kinds of baby speak. This place has grown for the better but I dont know that we'll ever be able to fully break away from our creepy ass roots. Sometimes that mega can still hit ya with some full force shit that just makes you close the tab and walk away.

It's okay you can join the cuddle puddle when you're ready meow-hug

When this gets brought up it reads as being irony poisoned to the point of cringing at neurodivergent users

Edit: I also don't see how that's related to people posting about crushing on their coworkers or friends/acquaintances

I can think of one couple who met on here who are de facto exiled, and another who are still active posters. and those are just the ones I know of lol
