It happened pretty fast and a lot of that concentrated vitriol was centered around attacking Renee for her role in allegedly "outing" CB which I was never clear on.

It was right around the time the Renee's insane stalker ex started spamming here and BnR(or they just repeated what he said) a bunch of really creepy poo poo that a couple of people immediately ran with like it was Aatrek's criminal record and crowed about her getting comeuppance or some gross poo poo.

It was a weird turning point where "believe women" was either used to score debate points or ignored outright when you like what is being said about them all in the same short time frame.

Is Some Guy TT the dude that everyone PMs when they want to try and grudge against mods? He was the guy who tried to champion Deathray or whatever his name was and he's been making every mod-grudge thread in QCS lately.

He's lucky they haven't all gone as poorly as the Deathray thread.

It wasn't CascadeBeta, but Cuntellectual. Also it wasn't her outing Cuntellectual, but her permabanning her.

Cuntellectual's thing was incredibly confusing and as far as I can tell, Queen Combat was asked by her to get her into the trans discord or something, which involved vouching to the trans discord mods that Cuntellectual was indeed trans, since... trans discord. Cuntellectual got mad at this and ran to QCS and started a thread shouting that she was outted, apparently confused and thinking that the discord was official SA discord and thus she had been outed to SA? I can't really be sure. She grudged about it for a while and acted like a jerk until Renee perma'd her, and a bunch of people with a grudge against Renee claimed that she perma'd Cuntellectual for being outed, when the outing happened like... a year before. This also resulted in Renee permaing Queen Combat for the outing and also promoting BnR, which led to even more stalking and harassing and a lot of BnRers being banned, which was very good, but also Renee quitting, which wasn't so good.

EDIT: Also Cuntellectual has constantly claimed that FAU was the one who changed her name to that awful name, but I have no confirmation. If so, FAU did a bad.

Was the whole blowup around Lady Ambien and I think D&D that resulted in people saying Lowtax had been powercucked off his own forums 2019 or was that 2018? My sense of time has been warped as poo poo the last year.

Cuntellectual is a punny vulgar SA name it’s classic. Idk what’s so wrong about the name itself, although if FAU just slapped it on without a justification (name change thread, moderation) that’s lovely IMO.

I don't know if it was the same thread but this reminded me of a poster who was so fundamentalist Jewish that he would tell other Jewish posters that they were not Jewish. Then when called on it would say things like "I didn't say you were not Jewish, I said that your entire belief system is so incredibly wrong that it could not be Jewish and therefore your entire life is a lie."

At one time there was a master and his disciple walking in the mountains. They passed two boys with a stand, selling live frogs for people to take home and eat. The young disciple told the old master to take a rest, saying he'd be right back. He bought all the frogs from the boys, who happily returned home. He threw the frogs one by one back into the river, who very happily swam and jumped. He returned to his master, who asked him, "You look happy, what happened?" the young monk replied "Oh, no problem! I saved the frogs!" The master said mournfully, "Oh, YOU saved them? Too bad! Now YOU go to hell!"

She was never perma'd. She was banned and brought back but never posted again. Having found the thread where it all happened, basically all the B&R people who weren't perma'd (I think it was mostly Addamere and Benghazi 2 who got perma'd)largely came back and have been posting under new accounts. Can't tell you if Queen Combat did that though.

Y'know, I did post full receipts for the DM conversation with QC that showed that topic never came up to begin with, though you could argue I might've photoshopped them or something. :shrug:

My complaint at the time was that several people whom I hadn't discussed the topic with at all started PMing me accusatory things about how I was fake trans or lying or a gender traitor. It wasn't a big deal to me since when you troll people yeah sometimes people hit back, but I was concerned when one of my friends pointed out that there were vulnerable people posting in TGRS who might not take it the same way.

I joined it because, frankly, for a while there it was not clear Lowtax was going to go away (and wasn't going to nuke SA if he did), and I wanted some other forums with at least some people from here in case this site went down. If that happened I figured goons would rebuild elsewhere and even if that wasn't it, word would get around.

But I also don't really interact with the politics/gender issues side of the forum (I don't disagree with the general leftist political slant I just don't feel much need to discuss it). I just follow some of their games threads so any drama is well outside my knowledge.
