I like how it would be incredibly easy to make a statement that spins the situation to make it sound better but he ended up with a statement that makes it even more obvious that he's a huge creep.

While looking for a recap of the Abe and Docevil downfall sagas, I found a thread about the latter:

https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3731228

quote:

Early October 2011: On an overcast, gloomy gray day, about 100 people mill around in front of a trendy gay restaurant. Guy Fieri makes omelets with extra tabasco sauce and disgusting poo poo which nobody can eat. In a masterstroke, Steve Harwell calls DocEvil to come up on stage. Rather than displaying even the slightest bit of personal charisma and/or charm, DocEvil lurches around awkwardly during the entire event, compulsively brushing his hair out of his face like that one goth kid from South Park and nervously clutching his pink iPhone with a death grip, his knees no doubt on the brink of shaking.

i know this one fairly well. a kid, like a 13 year old, called some fat bluehair a oval office, and a small feminist group jumped him on twitter. somehow abe got involved, and they attacked the hell out of the kid. maybe abe threatened to kill him or something? Im not sure about what was specifically said, but it was over the line. anyway, the kid just laughed at the whole thing straight to their faces.

this story isnt very funny told like this, but its a case of one of those badass SA funnyguys stepping into a bigger pond and getting owned, much like docevil and his flavor town eggs

The kid said rape jokes could be funny in the right context and Abe sicced a bunch of people on him that were doing poo poo like threatening to kill him with a knife.

It's just so goddamn silly. He would have gotten a lot of poo poo for it still, especially with the known rear end groping thing and all his virtue signalling, but what he did was loving nothing compared to what other sexual harassers do. He didn't touch her and left when she said no.

It's bad PR but manageable!

Acting like nu-gbs was an entirely good thing is kinda dumb tho, like it fixed some problems but made plenty of others and that's why it got reigned back. It was literally /b/ making edgy jokes that hinged on slurs for a while, sucked super hard, and we lost a huge amount of forum activity that's never really fully recovered.

There were reasons for the shakeup but it very obviously went too far in the other direction until we went back to moderating it.

This is true. It was hilarious for the first 24-48 hours but quickly became unfunny people trying to ape the posting style of the funny ones and it just kind of spiraled into a mess.

It was reliably hilarious for a lot longer than that, but sort of a 'messy friday night out that never ends' sort of hilarious.

I just really that term. It's like something out of a direct to DVD bargain bin sci-fi movie. Free Zoners.

Actually is a policy on most official forums for MMOs and the like; Community Managers are switched out pretty regularly, probably to prevent too much attachment and playing favourites. Also probably means it's a good thing Lowtax disappears for months or years on end every now and again.

also because every CM is angling for a new job in any other position in the company or any company or maybe a different industry actually is mcdonalds hiring
