BP is already anti troon (due to most of them actually being female) so it'd probably be most at home there.
 
Would the various tranny threads would be moved there, giving us the Kevin Gibes Inflated Universe subforum we've been craving? That crowd is absolutely deserving of the title Rat King, and most of the OG rat king threads are less active these days anyway.

It would be nice to have a different name than Gender Critical though, that is definitely going to encourage political sperging.
 
The major problem I can see with merging a board focused on trannies with a board full of women is it might attract a whole lotta TERF sperging. On one hand it could be funny. On the other hand the board would turn inside out into a completely inhospitable place like the rest of BP.
BUT you're not wrong. The Rat King gig has not been as relevant as of late, since a lot of trannies been tearing at each others' throats, and with a lot of people saying BP has its own culture I would think maybe it's time we get BP in specs with the rest of the site, and encourage users to visit the subforum for a change.

tl;dr the women need to assimilate stuff the tranny threads in there for free entertainment.

I mean... the BP chat/Boards are only unhospitable if you are an intolerable weeb/autist/politisperg? Otherwise we're generally friendly.

Can't deny the TERF-ness of it overall tho, it is what it is. Cope, seethe, dilatate if you enjoy transgenderism on it's ... face. But also prepare for us to mock you for all of the above if you come to chat.

As it should be. Speaking of, man I wish we had a chat in AC.
 
I have no strong opinion either way and can see both sides to the argument for this change.

But if RK is rebranded as GC and added to BP, maybe go through the existing RK threads and move those that wouldn't fit under GC, such as the Kengle thread. He's more garden variety lolcow. I can't see too many TERFs and other BP regulars being all that interested in his shenanigans.

It would be nice to have a place to funnel trannies. The Rat King in its original iteration- a collection of trannies that were all weirdly connected to one another in some way is rather outdated, while I've notice there are tranny cows spread all over the place. There's trannies in Lolcow, there's a few in BP, there's the tranny threads in Community Watch, and then there's some threads in Lolcow General. It can be a little hard to remember where each thread is and I find myself rediscovering threads I've forgotten about for a while because I forgot which subforum they are in.

As for political sperging in BP, I suggest you take a look at the current state of the Tard Baby thread if you think BP is a politisperg free place. I generally don't even bother to report politisperging in BP anymore because despite mods regularly going in to clean it up it doesn't deter anyone for long and I see the same posters starting the same stupid shitflinging about the same topics over and over.
 
Rat King could use a name change just because the joke is kind of dated and doesn't apply anymore but I've always felt like Rat King's culture was closer to the rest of KF than it was to BP.
 
It's weird to think Jake Alley might end up in beauty parlor but if it puts more eyes on him the better.
 
Have we, posters in Rat Kings, ever been unfriendly towards female users? I'm not sure what the change will achieve, as the subjects of BP are mostly women and that of RK are mostly men.

I'm OK with a name change (Gender Euphoria is good), I'm OK if we broaden the scope to include transsexuals who aren't buddies (such as Brianna Wu), but I'd perfer to have a dedicated subforum for transsexuals and their whipping boys.

Not fond of the idea, for a few reasons:

Rat Kings runs on autopilot these days, by your own admission. Why the hell would you want to alter something that both works and gives minimal trouble while it is doing so into something that is almost guaranteed to cause headaches?

BP has it's own culture, different from the rest of the site. Why dilute or break that? Different cultures in different spaces is good. OK, I'm biased here because I like the BP culture.

The name Rat Kings itself is part of forum lore and should be preserved.

That's it. Wouldn't normally speak up about fairly minor concerns, but you did ask.

I think your points might outweigh my initial thought that BP is TERF central already.

But if there is a troon board set into the BP, my opinion is to consider the name "TERF Central" if for no other reason than to make the first impression that it's a female space for the most part to begin with. Call me optimistic, but a strong hint like that could be one of however many necessary ways of informing dudes from the rest of the site that this section isn't their personal shitbox. "Gender Critical" also sounds miserably boring, as well as a bit timid to honestly state what it's all about, maybe even bordering on politically correct terminology. (Yes, I am aware of the late GC subreddit, but this is not Reddit, thank God.) The best board here is called "Deathfats", for God's sake, and I love it.
 
Any new name must not give the impression that the board is used for general discussion / ranting of gender politics - whether we are " terves" or "gender critical" is beside the point; we are here to document and laugh at retards.
 
I'm not picky I think ADF will rage out as he's double demoted from his own board to rat king he's not part of to tossed to the girl board no one looks at.

I just like to laugh at Phil, his drunk ex roomate and I hope Timbo fixed his shit.
