Oh poo poo then I have no idea who Guy Mann is. I thought it was that guy that really flared up the LIST ONLY parts of pyf. Do people still report "gif outside the gif thread" even though that was like 6 mods and three admin teams ago?

Phy posted:Guy Goodbody now goes by Gripweed iirc He really is/was one of the most irritating and annoying trolls (but also well-done, in the same way as Toblerone Triangular) - his posts were perfectly targeted to push that button of "I mean it's mildly amusing I suppose if you really stretched, but it's not loving funny and WHY IS THIS IN THE THREAD". It was basically like the posts were causing papercuts, just intensely irritating because you couldn't outright say "this doesn't belong in the thread", but you knew it really didn't and it was just lovely post noise. He also posted a LOT so you'd get 30 new posts and half of them would be stupid bullshit from him. I mean, this all assumes he was a troll, because he was real good at acting the part and saying "but I think it's funny", which of course was just even more intensely irritating because you kind of just want to shoot stupid people in the face until they shut up, you know? Yeah you know.

I'm a mid-millenial and I've never seen a full episode of Seinfeld. My main knowledge about it is that Jerry Seinfeld is verrrry bitter about kids these days and that Kramer yelled slurs into a crowded audience. I still know what kramering is.

When he was psuedo-mod-challenged to provide a reason for why each of his posts were funny by bird, his explanations were, to be fair, pretty drat good and also quite amusing. Shame she never made it mandatory for him to do it for every post, really.

There was also a "famous" SA quote from years back that popularized it: "feminism?!" newsmonster kramers in the door and just keeps kramering, sliding off around the room, bouncing against walls. he kramers against your toilet, busting it up big time. you get the feeling he's trying to say something to you but he's kramering at such a high velocity you just can't quite make it out. as he finally nails a window and falls out you think you hear him exclaim "I'm a feminist, that's what's so CRAZY about this" on the way down

i've never heard of the quote until now, it was just something i picked up from somewhere on the internet. my dad also watched seinfield religiously when it was airing so the weird jerky way kramer would slam into the apartment has stuck in my head all these years.

i think that is what is commonly referred to as "hyperbole", a form of humor in which someone says something deliberately outrageous that is clearly not meant to be taken literally unless you are deliberately trying to cause problems, on purpose.

Len posted:What happened 11/14/2019? Was that the start of the troubles? Berserk author wrote a manga about young children on an adventure, made some extremely not okay art choices. The perma'd goons in question decided to stan for it under the defense of "Prudish Western values" and pointing out cherubs in Renaissance art claiming it was exactly the same. It was quite possibly the 4th time that multiple people were perma'd from ADTRW for defending pedo anime/manga. For some background The original Pedocaust was around 2003, when people were openly discussing hentai and anime with graphic depictions of underage girls, using arguments like "yes she looks 12 but is actually a 1000 year old robot so porn drawings of her are acceptable" and a good 20-30 people were told to gtfo and never come back. The first ADTRW purge is usually where the story of moot starting 4chan comes from. Years later, 2010s or so it had started creeping back up more and more as the mods were trying to avoid coming down on people in super draconian ways until there were finally a few people who clearly crossed a line with their posting, would not stop, and were permabanned. I don't remember anything else notable aside from the 2019 spree, but I'm sure if I checked there would be at least a handful of people being banned for defending underage anime/manga also throughout the years. The only one that sticks was WickedHate who could not stop arguing about it, was given the benefit of the doubt multiple times and finally banned for good after every mod gave up trying to help. pentyne has a new favorite as of 05:24 on Sep 25, 2020 |

A bunch of Berserk thread posters were posting about and linking to another manga the author of Berserk did which features loads of sexualization of children, and could not comprehend why anyone would have a problem with that.
