I seem to remember hearing something about him trolling for reactions to share with some friend/partner from Tumblr or something, but that might just be people scrambling for some sort of explanation where they don't have to face the possibility that somebody who's Just That poo poo actually walks this Earth.

Big things that I remember:

1) He reg'd a new name (Sleeveless) after getting either banned or just being a such a dumbass that everyone had ignored him, someone called him Guy Mann, and he retaliated by accusing them of 'deadnaming' him, which if you don't know is the term used to describe someone referring to a transgender person by their birth name in a derogatory fashion. Which is in insanely bad taste when you're talking about someone who was so annoying that they not only had to go incognito, they remained so annoying that people figured them out basically immediately

2) I forget the specific context of it but he snidely implied that a woman made a false rape accusation against a man for clout, someone else probably has the exact quote

3) He's just weirdly contrarian and cynical to a comical degree and will find a way to take the worst possible interpretation of anything that he encounters. So absolutely joyless that he got run out of several forums, including and especially the video game forum, but he couldn't resist farting out some nonsense and got repeatedly probed for posting in Games even though he was told not to

To my knowledge he never dropped character like other curmudgeonly types did, like no redeeming posts anywhere. I could be wrong, not being a Guy Mann expert, but if memory serves the best he could ever manage was whitenoise, but even that tended to have at least a tinge of snideness. I mean, I think BotL would post reasonably in some places, even if the greater portion of their posting was making people miserable. But I'm not a BotL expert, either.

Come to think of it, I hope there is no such thing as a Guy Mann expert. :whitewater:

I don't know what you got out of posting here, but you made the environment of every thread you posted in worse by being there, and whatever motivated you to do that, I hope you can take time to reflect on it.

I love the mental image of the kind of person who posts about how their parents are sociopathic narcissistic psychopaths because they ruined Christmas once when they were kids and still asks them go to church with them writing screeds on one side of the internet while the parent posts about how their ungrateful borderline personality adult children are denying themselves and their families a relationship with the only parents they'll ever have over petty reasons post on the other. Two group of terrible, miserable people who has spent their whole lives shouting past each other are now just shouting into the void as they stand with their backs to each other, neither aware that they are truly family and peers in the way that they are broken and incomplete.
In the thread where people discussed the psychology of abusive parents, where most posters are direct or indirect victims of parental abuse.
I'm still furious about this. making GBS threads up threads with garbage, unpleasant posts is bad enough, but mocking victims of abuse like that is on another level.
Shame on you, mods, for taking so long to act on this.

I don't know but look at even the first page of his post history as Sleeveless and you've basically got the tenor of his entire posting career. He was apparently incapable of posting without smarm.

ah yes, the classic americana stereotype of the 1950s where all wives were lawyers. truly biting satire.

Just a short history lesson, back in 2019 when everything kicked off one of the biggest grievances about fyad was the whole embrace/discussion of AGP that was said to occur. Reality being one particular rear end in a top hat kept bringing it up and the vast majority of people had no clue what it was. In short, it's some disgusting anti-trans rhetoric masked as medical theory.

there wolf, the ex-mod of TMR and its associated trans threads, seems to have been citing the ideas of James Cantor in their weird pedo defense. Cantor is famous for pushing really hard to include the P into the LGBTQ+ category, and the P doesn't stand for pansexual.

You'll never guess what other reprehensible ideology Cantor has loudly embraced and endorsed.

In short

there wolf posted:

Yes, the majority of pedophiles know acting on the impulse would be terrible and so they don't do it, instead indulging in it through media and roleplaying with other adults. As much as it sucks, it's likely that sexual attraction to prepubescents is a hardcoded sexuality the way hetero and homosexuality are, in which case the proshippers have a point that having that sort of content serves a social good, providing an outlet for desires that cannot be actually realized.

But thats one part of what would be a complex argument even for reasonable adults. In fandom it's a loving nightmare sucking in a whole whole host of toxic behaviors that have been normalized in that space.
