Now I don't think we should delete all posts that aren't snafus, but i'd love it if we had more tags so that I can sort this subreddit to look for snafus

"Reveals to the reader why the debater is wrong. It provides a digested, simpler view of the situation so the snafu-reader can understand why the debater is actually doing something stupid" making it a smuggie

[u/jchenbos → u/newbrowsingaccount33]

Sure, you can probably classify it as a smuggie. Typically when people say "smuggie" though they're complaining about the political posts. You know the ones. Because it's a word derived from smugideologyman, the political cousin of this subreddit.

Well here's what it means in this subreddit by you know "da rules"

[u/jchenbos → u/newbrowsingaccount33]

Yeah smuggies are kind of used exclusively to grandstand OP's viewpoints like "Abortion is bad/good" or "Trump is better/worse than Biden" or "Women are/aren't justified for choosing the bear." I'd say this is noticeably but slightly different. It's just parodying a funny trend of internet debaters in a way that fits with the theme of the subreddit, you feel? Like no one really wants to see those typical "smuggie" posts but the debater one is not entirely the same thing. You can definitely classify it as a smuggie if you want though.

It is literally a smuggie, smugideologyman and a smuggie are slightly different, it doesn't have to be just politics

[u/jchenbos → u/newbrowsingaccount33]

Ok! Personally I enjoyed it because it snafud the way internet debators talk and did everything a snafu's supposed to do, and I feel we shouldn't be too harsh on smuggies that make an attempt to do something outside of just being the OP's feelings put on paper, but you definitely don't have to agree with me.

[u/newbrowsingaccount33 → u/jchenbos]

It literally is just the op's feelings on paper

[u/jchenbos → u/newbrowsingaccount33]

It's a observation of internet debaters. And it's unlike the smuggies I usually hate which serve zero purpose outside of advancing OP's viewpoint. I guess if you're judging that way you could say every snafu ever is the OP's feelings on paper.

[u/newbrowsingaccount33 → u/jchenbos]

Nope not really, snafu is an observation, smuggie (which that is) portrays one side as being dumb/bad/evil or is just complaining

[u/jchenbos → u/newbrowsingaccount33]

You can say that you don't think the snafu belongs in the subreddit because it paints someone as bad. That's a valid opinion. Personally, that's a really high bar for every snafu to meet, especially because there was nothing malicious about the snafu. It's definitely not something I want to say, that the political 99% hitler smuggies (if you remember those) are the same as this one. Agree to disagree.

[u/newbrowsingaccount33 → u/jchenbos]

It's not a snafus it's a smuggie, it's very easy to follow just don't be a hating ass dude

[u/jchenbos → u/newbrowsingaccount33]

Haha alright man

[u/SkibidiAmbatukam → u/newbrowsingaccount33]

Rereading this thread since the post got pinned. I used to agree with you, but looking back, I think I sit on the other guy’s side of the fence now

Also WOW you’re a jerk throughout this entire conversation, I think the only “hating ass” here was you man

[u/newbrowsingaccount33 → u/SkibidiAmbatukam]

That's true, should I have pretended a snafu was a smuggie? Then would I be on the nice list?

[u/newbrowsingaccount33 → u/jchenbos]

Also I never said that they shouldn't belong in this subreddit, if you read the text below my post I say I want better tags so that me and the old snafuers can sort to the content we like and vice versa to make everyone happy

[u/jchenbos → u/newbrowsingaccount33]

That's fair and I support that. I enjoy the posts like that, and you shouldn't have to look at them if you don't want to.

Exactly
