I don't believe Axe Cop was posted originally on SA. The origin of Axe Cop was a professional cartoonist guy was talking to his six year old brother at one point when his brother was playing pretend about being an axe cop.


Maybe you're thinking of Dr. McNinja?

Nah, Weapon Brown was some dude's incredibly tryhard webcomic about muscular cyborg Charlie Brown in a grimdark future, or something? Mostly notable because he self-promoted constantly in the comics form, iirc, and then posted a bizarro transphobic rant in D&D and melted down about the response at length.

Yes, he was unfortunately permanently brainpoisoned during his 'feud' with Scott Adams and was increasingly unable to shut up about politics in general and also keep a lid on his lovely views which weren't that far off from Adams himself anyway.

He's not a comicgater, he's set himself up in opposition to them, but he's one of those edgy underground cartoonist types and super full of himself. You can get a good idea of what his deal is by reading the thread where someone asked to have the forum ban from BSS lifted and then he made such a tremendous rear end of himself that he ended up getting permabanned 100,000-hour probed:

I remember the endless hand wringing and the "real threats were being made" to justify PPJ basically walking up to a bunch of Nazis and telling them who he was and asking how could he earn their trust.

This pretty much covers the backlash

I am absolutely never reading up on any of that QCS stuff despite enjoying FYAD for years, and that apparently leading to it being closed? I thought it was because of AGP memes.

As far as I know, the Nazi off-site that spawned has unsurprisingly regressed completely, and having been left to their own devices, it is now wholly dedicated to exchanging fruits and turnips in Nintendo's Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

genuinely no one has figured out what the gently caress happened and everyone's got their read, probably because it's a dumbass internet forum and in the end, it will always be stupid

I would actually find a completely no-frills dump of links to relevant posts/logs/whatever useful but it's not happening, because gently caress trying to compile that poo poo or even figure out what's relevant

You know, there are times when reading these forums when the voices start to run together and I find myself wishing that people would post with language that uses a little more flourish, with some distinct personality to the writing, then I read the way this guy writes and I want to shove him into a locker.

That's all quite apart from the actual content of what he's saying, which makes me want to lock the door and leave

There's a bunch of new arrivals at the gay abyss these days, scared and timid, and we're the old hands all standing on the ledge flicking stubbed-out cigarillos into the yawning fabulous void, limbering up for the next jump and spitting hoping it doesn't come out bloody. Some of us moved up and out but you find someone who knows how to tell a joke on the net they learned it right here, at the queer chasm.

Reddit maintains some vestige of the old ways of golden manbabies and tipped fedoras, but those were old ways and we craftsfolk moved on. Twitter claims all owns, but we share a table with them from time to time. The Tube continues its undiluted flood, some of us moved there, few came back, but they'll always be welcome as long as they can look out into that winking deep and intone the Old Words.

It's worth emphasising that the lawsuit win was 100% a consequence of Australia and Canada having awful libel laws, which Zak S (who loves abusing women almost as much as he loves making GBS threads his pants at Chick-fil-A) is using to try and intimidate people who would otherwise speak out against him.
