Why do people come here to discuss completely irrelevant things?

[Giant Hogweed]

I realise that making this thread in the first place kinda contributes to my "complaint", but it's not even really a complaint as much as it is a genuine confusion about people's motives.

Now, I have a lot of interests, and I go to places like Reddit (or previously Something Awful) or other very subject specific forums to discuss them. Whether it's my hobbies or movies I've seen or whatever, I go find the community for that thing to discuss it.

What I don't understand is the thought process that goes "I have questions/thoughts about vaccines/guns/the superbowl/etc, I'll share them at Zooville." To me that seems very strange, like me going to my arthouse film forums to ask people their thoughts on the GPU shortage, or in the case of technical subjects, like vaccines, going to a pot dispensery to ask the staff and other clientele what they think about the recent developments in fusion technology.

It just seems very odd to me. I'm a zoophile and a cinephile and musicophile and I have various other hobbies, and when I want to discuss any of them, I find communities specifically for those things.

Anyways, I'm not here to fight about it or have a big argument. The forum is what it is and the real garbage gets sent to the dumpster fire and people can keep doing what they wanna do, but I do want to understand the thought process.

Because the forum allows that. The rules are not set in a way that would keep it focused more on the animal subject.
To some extent casual conversation is beneficial but I agree that some of the threads or even whole sections here are completely irrelevant.

This is as much a social forum as it’s a zoo forum. Simplest answer you can get.

To me this is a community. So naturally we all talk with eachother about anything and everything. I feel most uninhibited on zooville. I'm more honest with all of you than I am with people in my daily life. My 2 cents. ?

i might be pulling this out of my ass, but i believe there was a "threads need to be zoo-oriented" or something along those lines rule. i personally don't mind off-topic discussions (makes this kind of a social platform) tho i have no idea why there isn't off-topic section.. then again it's probably the point of general.

 

[provo5t]

Maybe because they feel this is a safe place and just get in and relax... :3

Come for the dog dicks, stay for the people!

If you're here just for the facts, sure, stay out of off-topic discussions. If you're here to meet people, well, there's only so many times you can talk about the shapely curves of a horse's hindquarters.

There are other things that people can talk about and share other than just one subject.

Sexy skyrim horses, a subject best kept on zooville that will inevitably go down a non zoo path.

Right, I get that, but like, as someone who loves arthouse films *and* cycling, I wouldn't go to the bike shop to talk about arthouse films.

Totally agree here. I consider some of the people on this forum my friends and well…sometimes it is ok to talk about non-beast topics…

Well, this forum is not like a bike a store, it's more like a swinger club, where you go to have sex but you dont need to talk about sex the whole time... see it more like a club rather than an academic website or something like that.

 

[Mare Lover 1975]

I'll take talking about random things any day over the endless threads asking which dog has the biggest dick or how to get my girlfriend to fuck our dog garbage.

I once discussed films in a bike shop. It wasn't why I went but it is why I spent so much time there.

Bro, if this forum was solely based on animal sex, and not an open forum for anything and everything, it would not be what it is. This is what makes ZV beautiful. Beast Forum was only based on animal sex and that kinda sucked.

 

[DemonSlayerArc]

Honestly I come here for the community first and the beast second. I love seeing what is on peoples minds and how they respond to certain things, their desires, if they like pineapple on pizza

It’s kinda nice to be able to chill here and not always be subjected to a huge dog cock, but if the feeling comes it’s right there to find

Because most of us are multi-faceted people. We have lots of other interests, and it's nice to be able to come to our favorite place on the web to talk about them.

You've been making a lot of sense, lately. I don't mean just this comment, but many other recent ones.
Good going. *pats you on the back*
