A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

i mean, the problem isn't the portal in those cases, and i think the portal is a very cool idea -- imo, the fact that these people get in the news for it is probably why they're doing it, it's just one way to get people's attention by doing outrageous stuff around a new attraction

it's nothing new, and eventually dies off, and there are probably also many events of people being nice to each other that go unreported

edit: also, yeah, showing body parts generally shouldn't be considered that harshly imo - of you're forcing people to look at them, they're probably not pretty, but I wouldn't call those "vulgaire" either
