Well, you know how it goes. You do it one day, it's a radical new thing. It works, you do it for a week, it's a little less exciting. Soon it's like checking on an idle game, and not really something that you even think about being weird. But the key is, you need to keep doing it, because if you stop to think about it at all, well...


Nice!

I stay out of the politics forums and FYAD but I already didn't like KM simply because of the annoying sassy black woman gifs that would clog up the Leper's Colony whenever she would probate someone. Stuff like that always rubbed me the wrong way. You're not a loving comic book character, just do your job. The fact that she self referenced the gifs as part of her "persona" in the SAclopedia post is just icing on the cake.

Absolutely incredible that CSPAM has forged its own little community where the accepted truth is that FYAD is a nazi forum and KM did nothing wrong, and anyone who posts from the FYAD side gets immediately probed by Lightning Knight

Kind of demonstrates that just kicking out the lead "bad actor" mods but keeping all their lovely lackeys around isn't actually a good strategy

kind of what I was going for, you have individual members of a group who are bad/wrong and instead of targeting them the entire group is blamed for the sins of the few and held accountable for not stopping it themselves.

pentyne posted:

the cabal clique loving loved importing tons of offsite poo poo into SA to argue their point while screaming to the heavens that FYAD was doxxing them. The mods even had to loving litigate the "doxxing" rule as cspam kept doxxing people they choose to believe were the real "bad guys" and were arguing it was okay since they were (allegedly) bad people.

Here's the mentality at work

Someone wanting a loving mod team to police offsites for content.

How is this any different the people saying “FYAD is a bunch of transphobes”? You’re bringing up events from months ago, by a few bad posters, to smear a whole group. A handful of shitheads (on both sides) incited a shitload of conflict, those posters are gone. The drama continues because things quiet down for a while, then somebody dredges up all of that poo poo to throw in their hot take of “actually this group is guilty!!” and we get right back into it.

Just drop it, for gently caress’s sake. If there’s a terrible post in CSPAM, FYAD, QCS, TMR, PYF, wherever? Report them. Move on. Don’t target an entire group because one person’s post pissed you off, and we can all get back to posting without any more insane drama or forum wars. That’s a fair compromise.

Slanderer posted:

Not a very big apology I guess lol

Homeless Friend posted:

Syenite like John Wick burying those guns, there’s always a next time

An apology doesn’t mean you need to keep silent when someone else decides to stir things up again. KM telling a bunch of lies doesn’t mean the posts that Syenite is referencing never happened. The poo poo that FYAD got closed down over was used to smear a whole group, which was wrong, but it was not made up out of whole cloth.

Pick’s right. The KM alt stuff is amazing, hosed up, and funny enough on its own. How about we focus on that for a bit?

The gifs loving suck because it just feels like bullying. It's literally mocking laughter represented visually most of the time, and instead of being like "hey your post was out of line because of x reason" it's just someone lording their power to silence you and it makes it basically impossible to disagree in good faith

It's in a thread where someone says "go back to your nazi forum" and then they probe all the FYAD posters so I don't really get a joking feeling, more of a vein-popping seething from the notoriously well-adjusted posters of CSPAM

Nice Try Moon Slayer.

Obviously it is Pastry of the Year who is the real hero here. A true hero! If anyone deserves that red star it is Pastry. Did you know that Pastry of the Year killed Hitler and Ghengis Khan?

Wait now. If Pastry killed Hitler, does not that mean Pastry is in fact Hitler? And also that based on the evidence of their posting timestamps that are demonstrably POST World War II, they did in fact FAIL at killing Hitler.

So not only is Pastry a failure, but also a mod that is a Living Hitler posting on these forums.

The logic is irrefutable, Pastry must be made an admin, ASAP.

Didn't know about their posting history, saw them on a goon discord first and felt some sympathy for someone who seemed alright but couldn't help but make an rear end of themselves at inopportune times.

On SA it was apparently constantly making an rear end of themselves. Mostly just kind of got pie on my face for advocating for less harsh punishment and such for when they got banned from a discord.

To be clear that is me, on a new account instead of re-regging because Reene banned me after I made a joke about how she refused to do anything about the people who doxed and harassed me and then deleted the evidence I sent her.

I don't have a bunch of friends to back me up on this, but most of the "making an rear end out of myself" was people deliberately misrepresenting things I said when I wasn't in a position to defend myself.

...Does that count as a saga? Getting doxed and harassed and then accused of being a nazi transphobe by people who then left the site? :v:
