I just read a post about a dude who thinks he has nut cancer. I feel bad for him and I wish him the best, but thats not the point. I was genuinely surprised at all the nice posts on the thing. A few years back, every post would've read "LOL FUCK SUCKS FOR YOU NUT CANCER LOLOL". So anyways, why do you guys think the typical newgrounder seems to have gotten nicer?

Maybe people matured over the years? Well, the newbies are gonna be balancing that out, especially with all the "SCHOOL SUCKS WTF" topics. Stuff like THAT, no one cares about.

If you want the old Newgrounds attitude, go to the shithole known as 4chan.

its not because they're soft, it's because they're gullible and dumb. Back then, people would have laughed because they knew it was just someone trying to get attention and was probably not true (and if it was, why the fuck should strangers on a website care anyway?)

I personally like all this new found getting-along-ness because you can actually say something meaningful without the first response being "LOLFAG". Its all good

One thread doesn't give you enough of an insight to judge the entire userbase of Newgrounds.

I dunno, since the rules on trolling have become better defined and there's less users who know how to be assholes and not get banned for it, maybe this place is becoming softer than it was a few years ago.

I haven't noticed much though.

Two or Three threads like this that have users mocking the situation.

That's still not nearly the whole userbase.

Personally, I still see people getting laughed at every time they post something tragic. I think it might just be an odd occurrence when people are actually nice.

Newgrounds is completely backwards!

Whether a thread is full of nice or rude replies is usually based on the first couple of replies. Mob mentality...

Wish me luck.

Everybody's soft on the inside. Empathetic, caring, and concerned posts are better than rude, annoying, trying to be clever one liners that is an average post.

Ok, I just made post on the testes cancer thread thing. If you read my post, you can determine whether NG is going soft or not.
