Hey Richard, I am trying to understand what constitutes humor here on somethingawful dot com. So its funny when you make a joke about kids getting molested, but when someone makes a joke about your kids getting molested its a ban? I am legitimately confused so if you could clear this up it would be great, thanks.

jokes on you nerd because when the op got banned back in GBS 1.0 for some stupid drunk driver thread he went psychotic on the forums over the course of months, spending a shitload of money on accounts and posting a bunch of threats to the mods, then disappeared for a while until he came back on this account

actual op post:


For the record I can't play this game because my graphics card is 5 years old and can't run directx 11. CoD can infact run though on an xbox 360 which was released 9 years ago.

Say what you will about #gamergate, but it really was an indication that the gaming industry is becoming infested with people that don't actually care about gaming and are committed to its destruction. Obviously #gamergate has nothing directly to do with lovely PC support for the new CoD, it is just the canary in the mine with regards to this stuff.

So basically gently caress this gay earth. There is no logical reason why this game should not be able to be played on older graphics cards. I can understand low frame rates, or maybe some graphical glitches, but to simply just straight up not being able to run is just not right.

This is not about banning, this is a legitimate question about what constitutes humor. As was stated in the OP.

Lowtax didn't make that "joke" on the forums it was on Twitter, this is more a question about what constitutes humor than the ethics of ban journalism. I was more offended that he called me unfunny than he banned me FYI.

That is not the main issue here buddy, its how some molestation jokes are funny and some aren't or something that I don't quite understand. I honestly don't care that much about getting banned from this website because it is just a stupid website filled with stupid people, but humor is eternal.
