But seriously, SA is still relevant?

Reply 1 posted:

No but SA Goons have an odd specificity to all end up as hardcore SJW's.

We all originally thought it was the long trolling con but it turns out that they degenerated into that because of some deranged guilt and projection.

Reply 2 posted:

No, they dont do anything anymore. The only cool people have hosed off to private Discords to avoid the SJW bullshit.

Some of us are still trying to #MakeSAGreatAgain

tl;dr posted:

They always have stairs in their house because SomethingAwful was hot poo poo 10 years ago. It was the big walled-garden for elitists who demanded everyone use proper punctuation and grammar and otherwise follow rules or get banned. Individual thread posters could write their own thread-local rules which the paid moderators would then enforce. Perfect order. When I finally got a credit card as a teenager the ten bux to get in was my first ever purchase.

That's just how I saw it then compared to all the trolls and awful content in free web forums. Haven't been back in a long time. But I can see how people who were big into SomethingAwful when they were a major influence on the internet have gradually honed their irony to new heights of trolling. Goon's have the best straight-face, bar none.

At least the trolls over at Encyclopedia Dramatica let everyone in on their game of shameless anti-social behavior. Goon irony is more like playing devil's advocate taken to absurdity ending in even self-deception. Goons love making the best arguments for unjustifiable poo poo, and now they've grown up to monetize it.

They've practiced so much social engineering they are literally now just power-tripping on loving with every subculture whose structures they can map and ascend. Good reasons, bad reasons, whatever. As long as they can keep fancy-talking their way into being important and noteworthy people of great influence.

im permabanned poster niggerstomper58. i first started reading fyad when i was about 12. by 14 i got really obsessed with the concept of "irony" and tried to channel it constantly, until my thought process got really bizarre and i would repeat things like "friend of the family balls" and "i love making GBS threads inside friend of the family assholes" in my head for hours, and i would get really paranoid, start seeing things in the corners of my eyes etc, basically prodromal schizophrenia. im now on antipsychotics. i always wondered what the kind of "ironic" style of fyad humor was all about; i think it's the unconscious leaking in to the conscious, what jungian theory considered to be the cause of schizophrenic and schizotypal syptoms. i would advise all people who "get" fyad to be careful because that likely means you have a predisposition to a mental illness. peace.

SA died around the time we tried to burn down Reddit. It was funny and good that they closed down the pedo boards, but a lot of goons took it way too far (surprise) and disappeared up their own sjw assholes.

I like gbs more now, where it's about 30-50 regular posters having fun and hanging out, even though it's kinda cliquey. If you like old style gbs you can just go read, well, Reddit.

Thems my thoughts, thanks for letting me share.
