Solice Kirsk posted:TGRS is always such a poo poo show. Well, the little bits I catch wind of anyways. No, generally it isn't. It was also not exceptionally active until late last year, since it's a space for minority posters to post in peace about media depictions of minorities, etc. The posters demanding that it be disappeared because "we're not posting there now" came across as sheer colonialist mind-set. "I'm not using this resource, so obviously it should be trashed because obviously the people who posted there from its creation just don't matter" is loving bonkers.

Charles posted:Agreed Yeah thats not what happened. What happened is that there were dedicated semi-kosher NSFW threads that poo poo was getting posted into and basically what happened is the PYF Boobs thread got shut down for being porn that she did not like while the PYF Dicks thread was allowed to stay open because they liked that one more and posted in it. Regardless, if you clicked on the thread you knew you were going to see porn so its not like goons got exposed to poo poo they didn't want to see. The erotic fiction stuff spiraled out from that and added to the hypocrisy but the core claim for being a hypocrit was closing one thread but not the other. Goons got pissed and basically started searching her posts which led to some posts in the writing subforum about writing erotic fiction which led to them doxxing her. I am not 100% certain that it was her, but I am 100% certain a lady mod got run off because of this, and in that sequence of events.

It was very bizarre since I think the thing that caused people to start calling the mod "uppity" was something about the FYAD offsite and someone demanding something be done about it, which is odd since no one on this site can do anything about it and the only thing to do is to just keep on posting and not post anything of a sensitive personal nature (or at the least poo poo that can lead someone to your house). I feel annoyed about some aspects of how the FYAD poo poo got handled but the people that were actually spreading harmful poo poo (like the rear end in a top hat posting 4chan poo poo making fun of trans people or the person who signed off from the site saying to kill all LGBT people) were kicked off Something Awful really quick. I'm not sure what else the people who left TGRS/MR really want other than complete domination over the 6 people left, which is an impulse I had until I realized it was really stupid and another sign of my terrible brain problem that compels me to fight with people.

corgski posted:GBS 2.0 was what drove me away from the forums for years, and I only really came back in like 2016 after the culture had started to swing back towards "being a little poo poo for laughs is pathetic actually" GBS 2.0 is why I started posting in PYF so much, it had the kind of serious posting old GBS had. Mods like BroJo and EW were heavy handed but the current mod team has been really good, I like the “I swear to god I WILL TURN THIS CAR AROUND” post approach over throwing probations and bans around all the time.

There was also a click of posters who did that thing where "X mod/poster can do no wrong and actually it is you who are wrong" who formed around whichever mod closed the Boobs thread who basically went "Actually this porn thread is cool and good (because we all post in it) while your porn thread is gross and bad" I think that was the first time I had ever seen a click form like that in realtime. t-.-t posted:wait, what? I don't remember that happening at all. I can totally see it being said directly, but there was loaaaads of dogwhistle about it.

Considering that the vast majority of people who were upset with how those parts of the forums talked openly of creating an offsite since late last year, and we know they did, I think it's fair to assume that instead of yet another conspiracy, they went to post in the place they said they were going to go post on.

I don't remember seeing "uppity" but I was uncomfortable with a few posters saying he was being "too aggressive" SunAndSpring posted:I'm not sure what else the people who left TGRS/MR really want other than complete domination over the 6 people left, which is an impulse I had until I realized it was really stupid and another sign of my terrible brain problem that compels me to fight with people. I don't think there was ever going to be a satisfying solution to the root problem of people lurking the trans threads for doxxing or mocking material other than what inevitably ended up happening, with a lot of trans discussion migrating to a private forum that only accepts new users by referral. SA has no way to stop disaffected creeps from buying lurker accounts to watch threads, and I know the trans threads were popular targets for KiwiFarms and SASS/Something Sensitive for years before all this started. And when Lowtax floated that as a suggestion on SA directly, it was shot down because having a hidden forum just feels like you're hiding away the users when they have the right to post publicly and proudly, on top of it being an important resource for lurkers who are questioning their own identity. People should be able to post and share and even overshare in a welcoming public community, and it sucks that this keeps happening. The active posters on SA are generally pretty cool and supportive, but SA's history all but guarantees that disaffected psychos are always on the fringe and I don't know if anything besides massive shifts in IRL culture will change that. SA and anyone who volunteers to babysit these forums really aren't equipped to solve societal ills on that scale.

I saw a slice of the TGRS drama in that a new mod or whoever who wasn't considered acceptable by the forum stars got poo poo on endlessly for "not understanding the culture" Maybe that was true, but one of the key points was that mod referred to trans poster as being "extra" and then was dogpiled for trans slurs. Is saying some is being a little extra a slur? And one of the popular hearsay things was KM was trying to make a list of who was and wasn't allowed to post in TGRS. Didn't seem like that bad an idea but someone said they were told they had to prove they were a POC to get approved.

The new mod was selected by Koalas March who had been dragged something fierce, but who the same people later said they adored and miss. It feels like revisionism to downplay that KM was treated very poorly. There had been calls for her to step down which is about as strong as it gets for a mod.

Not a good look for anybody.

<-I still have red text from the posters in the trans thread turning into their own clique and trying to exile people they didn't like. Specifically I started talking about queer sexuality and politics in a way they didn't approve of, and then Koalas March backed them up. The trans stuff in TMS (previously TGRS) went quiet because Fluffdaddy became mod and said he wasn't going to let the clique run the thread or the subforum any more, so a bunch of the posters dropped off and headed for I guess that cspam offsite?

Are you maybe thinking about the other poster who tried to go "hey I felt really gender euphoric and appreciated in my local queer community now that I've been to an orgy?" Who also got shut down, etc etc.
