I've said before that I had an account here with credentials I lost and couldn't recover years ago, before finally making this account a month before Yikesaroo. From time to time I remember the fun I had at goon meets and on these dead gay forums in the previous decade, and in all that time I never once thought of Lowtax. I'd like to drink to the idea that once this place has taken a new direction under Jeffrey, I can have a good time in a revitalized site and go for a similarly long time without thinking about Lowtax again.

mind the walrus posted:The narrative conveniently ignores a whole bunch of obvious poo poo like "the teenage crowd from the 00s grew up, the loser extremists got more hardcore, and reddit/facebook/4chan became sinkholes for the edgy 'ironic' racist/fascist/Nazi where they can proliferate with much less pushback, financial, and emotional cost than they ever could on SA." There's also a crowd that believes we're all full blown nazi homophobes back from the Shmorky Saga. Somehow SA ended up in the middle which is bizarre. People who can process the bed ridden man walking around but not the trauma victims living lives are a special bunch.

Brain Curry posted:I think the narrative in places like kiwi farms and reddit is that SA used to be in your face offensive and then we were all cucked in to becoming SJWs by a bunch of catlady mods. There are also places on the internet where we're regarded as the next step away from the alt-right ourselves because we do some "punch down" comedy and allow the occasional slur, or just in general are a place where the fyad thing could happen in the first place. The fact that two different groups of very tedious people both hate us for the opposite reasons is I think a sign that we're doing an ok job on that front.

alt-righters and other human detritus will gravitate towards Lowtax because, absent a comedy forums to claim ownership over, his entire personality now consists of proactively smearing the multiple women who have accused him of abuse. That's literally all he's got going for him now, and the MRA/MGTOW dweebs eat that kind of internet personality up like it's a $65 Goldbelly cheesecake. He's already turning into a martyr/figurehead for the hordes of losers who think the same way, you can see it in the sycophantic Facebook comments cropping up on his timeline. These people have zero investment in Lowtax's life now that he's out of SA, but they're still lining up to sniff his rear end in a top hat and lament those horrible golddiggers who definitely conspired to steal away his crippling tax debt, tacky McMansion and leased sports car.

I barely loving saw the guy in 15 years. My sense was always that the heyday of crazy stuff on the forums where he was part of the action was in the past, even in 2005.

SA ain't some bastion of SJW like some people might want to think, but no, we don't want to be on the center of this one. "Punch down" comedy and "the occasional slur" are not things worth keeping, nor were they ever.

Yeah there's a lot of poop touching going on right now but it's understandable, this place got hosed over by him for a long time. I hope it winds down soon, im just glad he's gone and I want his legacy to be "guy whose legacy is swept under the rug and forgotten forever as a new age of posting bliss arrives for SomethingAwful under its new owner"

I can attest to SA not being a bastion of Social Justice Warriors because my spouse posted an Ask/Tell about being genderqueer only three years ago and she was told multiple times to kill herself as well as being bought several red texts and the mods did absolutely nothing about it.

Try using the C word, even in context, around the forums and see if you don't catch a probe for using 'gendered language.' (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

I really hope everyone who dumped on someone like that was banned or at least that doesn't happen anymore. SA has a lot of awful poo poo in the past but I like to think we're getting better. wrt not being able to say the C word: why do people get so upset over things like this? It's a single word. I can rationalize it as that people with universal privilege think any limit is an existential attack- but for fucks sakes, come on now it's one goddamn word. The sum total of words I cna't say is like... four.

Look, I know your spouse was told to kill themselves because of how they identify as a person, but have you thought about how hard it is not to use the C-word?
