No, although they are very child like. It's more that his website has so many genuinely lovely things in it that it seems petty and dumb to pick up on that.

There's a real possibility that Ben has unhealthy ideas about children, and it's dumb of me to point out child-like pictures that he drew to appeal to other children? I mean, the valentine card says, hey, my dick is like a pufferfish when I think about you so forgive me if I am creeped the gently caress out by any of the possibilities/explanations

edit: don't hold me to any of this poo poo, I'm just horrified at this entire loving thing and I am in no mind to soften my perspective gently caress that guy

Nerds think lesbians hate men as much as nerds hate men.

This is because self-proclaimed nerds have internalized the idea that "men" are all the athletic jock bullies from 80s teen comedies.

Hopefully it is a needless concern but I'm still afraid someone with actual credibility (read: not us or Derek) is going to have to come from the outside, look at this stuff, and begin talking about it publicly.

I mean, between a general "this was in the past, i have done stupid (or terrible) things in my past I wouldn't want to be held accountable for" pass, and shitizens being unable to question CIG...

We're probably the only people looking at this stuff like "what the gently caress" and not ":rolleye: those goons, digging bullshit up". Then again I am a terrible cynic.

You know what I don't get? People who keep complaining that we're killing Iraqi children. These people have clearly never met a foreigner before. #21,156

Didn't he work in a school? Why is he talking about circumstances surrounding children on IRC?

We do these things not because they are easy, but because we thought they would be easy.
Grimey Drawer
Sorry guys, I’m tired of this. It’s not fun for anyone but your group and it’s tedious for anyone else posting to the forums. The level of toxicity the users posting to this thread adds to the forums is not acceptable.
I am absolutely bored with the insane levels of smug pretense happening here. It’s not fooling anyone (other than regular users already keyed up about ‘Goons’ playing the same game as they are, and you sure showed them! Take that, pubbies!) and it’s just so uninteresting. “We’re just standing up for the little guy! Help we’re being oppressed! Etc.!” I have some good news for you: you’re a regular forum user and you don’t need to stand up for anybody. You don’t run the place. That’s the moderation staff’s job, and if they suck at it then I will fire them.

They don’t suck at it right now, though. Your constant baiting isn’t changing my mind about that, it’s making me feel sorry for the group of people I put in the position of having to deal with you. It’s really, really obvious what’s happening, and no number of lengthy PMs about your views on how moderation is supposed to work are going to change that. The level of disrespect here is outrageous; absolutely no one believes you’re really here with obnoxious rule-skating signatures and stupid parody account avatars because you’re incredibly concerned with how a particular forum’s moderation works.

But if that is a genuine worry: if Toast bans someone for being a Goon instead of for being an rear end in a top hat, let me know (via PM, not endless toxic thread) and I will fire Toast. Until that happens, this is just tiresome and makes the forums look bad to everyone. (And this is just a gut feeling, but maybe the moderator bias that you all claim to be so worried about above anything else in the universe would be more obvious to me if absolutely anyone other than the people posting to this thread were contacting me about it?)

I will say that this is in no way a condemnation of all “Goons.” In following the Star Citizen threads at SA, it’s clear there are lots of Something Awful users who are interested in/excited about Star Citizen. You aren’t being haunted by some EVE reputation that you pretend to know nothing about… you’re giving the group a bad name right here (literally, in the name of your thread.) But of course you know that. SA is full of entirely reasonable people (myself included) who do all kinds of interesting things. Endless forum “shitposting” and trying to get moderators/staff fired isn’t one of those interesting things.
