He was that guy. He left like four years ago.

Then that shithead became a consultant for the biggest brands in the industry despite significant criticism stemming from the former. Then the shithead’s Ex girlfriend outed him as a rapist and an abuser. Now that shithead is winning defamation lawsuits against his critics in countries whose legal system he can exploit with his trust fund. He just won one against former trad games mod Ettin. I say former because Ettin stepped down as mod literally yesterday before he had to post a public apology everywhere he could as part of the judgment against him.

Maybe there already is one and it's in a subforum I don't visit. I don't think the ladythread counts and that thread doesn't get a lot of traffic. the other problem was that the feminism threads were infamously full of TERFs, which was part of what kept excluding trans people and good discussions around gender

MageMage posted:Hell, trans threads will exclude trans people if they decide they don't like you. Which is a shame because there are times I could have really changed someone's life or, I needed help to better mine. Yes, they get pretty cliquey at points. I don't think you're excluded for no/an insufficient reason, though. One More Fat Nerd posted:Not sure if the LF feminism threads were TERFY, not sure how defined TERFism was by 2007-09, what I mostly remember is people being very concerned with men sitting wrong, heated arguments over whether you could really be a feminist if you wouldn't permanently give up PIV sex, and weirdly angry derails on if it was ok to bring a small baby into a loud movie, and if disagreeing made you a bad feminist. TERFs, while not being known so much under that term, has been a thing ever since 1979 when Janice Raymond published the Transsexual Empire and got Sandy Stone fired from Olivia Records for being trans. I'm not sure if it was the LF thread in particular, but it's been a big problem with a lot of the SA feminism threads. Pick posted:A loud baby genetically engineered from Andrea Dworkin and bell hooks is exposed in a bathroom to a video game about giving up PIV sex (as indicated the the posture of one's legs). The title is "emotional labor: a mansplaining story" by Gaslight Games. They donated to an anti-abortion candidate in 1991. I laughed. Hard. Dworkin's great.

<-I still have red text from the posters in the trans thread turning into their own clique and trying to exile people they didn't like. Specifically I started talking about queer sexuality and politics in a way they didn't approve of, and then Koalas March backed them up. The trans stuff in TMS (previously TGRS) went quiet because Fluffdaddy became mod and said he wasn't going to let the clique run the thread or the subforum any more, so a bunch of the posters dropped off and headed for I guess that cspam offsite?

Nuns with Guns posted:Serious question Arivia: since you strongly feel that people are misrepresenting your posts in that thread and most people can't check to decide for themselves, have you tried messaging a couple mods or posting in QCS to ask if a mod or admin or two could review the exchange now that things have calmed down a bit, and reexamine the thread ban and general stigma its attached to you? I know "lol time to get judged by a tribunal of mods" sounds a bit absurd but at this point it can't be any dumber than arguing back and forth with people every time this incident gets mentioned. I don't necessarily disagree, but I'm less concerned with my reputation more than how it illustrated the issues with the clique in that thread. Speaking of, the thread ban was actually lifted by Fluffdaddy when he revamped the thread, and I haven't had any issues since; it was very specifically and clearly that one group trying to treat the TGRS thread as "their safe space" and using Koalas March to back them up that didn't like me. The problem was that what I was discussing is a contentious but worthwhile issue to discuss in queer and trans communities; for example, Pick I know has an infraction on her rap sheet for arguing the other side of it (that queer spaces like pride events need to be less sexually open and more "family friendly".) This is why I brought it up specifically in what was the trans news and discussion thread at the time, to discuss with other trans posters in a trans space; instead the clique decided they didn't want to have a discussion at all and just shouted to shut it down. Issues like this can be misrepresented outside of queer spaces, which is simultaneously why I'm wary of getting mods to review it and what I think Koalas March got caught up in. If you're not familiar with the history of the issue or what people are talking about, if you just see the posters you're familiar with, a shitton of reports, and a single poster (me) who seems to be posting very objectionable poo poo (from a straight perspective) that the rest of the thread dislikes, then it's a slamdunk which side to go with. Koalas March was fairly open about how she was interacting with the clique off the forums on Discord or whatever (since this was about the time of DEEP UNDERCOVER NAZI MOD), and I don't think she had the background or the understanding to realize that she wasn't creating a safe space for most or all trans posters, just the ones she believed were acceptable or her friends. Getting another mod to look it over runs the risk of the same thing happening again, and I already served a month+ over it. How Wonderful! might be worth approaching about it, since she's trans, has the background, and was involved in the original discussion anyway, but I'm just inclined to let it lie. I'm more trying to inform people about how much of a mess the thread has been, and the direct pressure that lead to the trans contingent on SA fracturing so hard and so fast. Someone called it catladies turning on each other recently, and that's pretty correct. (PS: Koalas March not being trans is also why a bunch of the trans posters were skeptical of Fluffdaddy, who came into the thread really early and started trying to throw his weight around as an IK, making some really stupid posts that showed he had no understanding of trans communities. That also contributed to the trans posters being skeptical of him when he became mod, but to his credit he just laid down some ground rules for the thread so it couldn't be so cliquish and handed over day to day moderation to there wolf as thread IK, who is trans, and seems to be doing an okay job with it.) e: it's worth mentioning that I never actually broke the thread or forum rules as part of this; I brought up an issue to discuss civilly, got shouted down and told I was "making people uncomfortable" by the clique (again, treating a discussion thread as their personal safe space), then got repeatedly probated by Koalas March for asking her what the gently caress she was doing when she immediately took their side and acted to protect them. It really felt like their private Discord must have been all upset and I was being punished for that instead of anything actually in the thread.

A Sometimes Food posted:So I know about Zak S and get Trad Games' new subtitle but was there anything in a specific thread that spurred making that the subtitle now, or did an admin just decide to? Zak won a lawsuit against Ettin and forced him to post a public apology in a bunch of places including here: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3919633&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=1 I also suspect it was a requirement for Ettin to step down as trad games mod, since that happened literally the day prior.

Lord Garmadon posted:Maybe unfair, but the "eat the rich" narrative in those threads felt tacked-on to me. I didn't follow them outside the drama, to be fair, but I remember those threads as if they pre-dated the "eat the rich" narrative, which made the later development of it come across to me, as a bit of an excuse for the death-pool stuff that people had been doing in earlier editions of the threads anyway. We weren't talking some Washington fat-cats or captain's of industry either, so I sort of think you might as well pretend that being financially able to go to Disneyworld and getting crushed by the Teacup ride is somehow karmic. The other thing to realize is that the "eat the rich" mentality was very much informed by the subject material, it didn't come out of nowhere. Reading secondary or primary sources about Everest makes it very clear, very quickly that there's a big problem with rich people paying to climb the biggest mountain in the world without any preparation or experience, that there are conflicting narratives about this (for example, the OG rich lady who's said to have brought an espresso machine up the mountain with her in In Thin Air was defended by her climb leader as being much more qualified than Krakauer made her out to be), and that capitalism, race, and class are big issues regarding the whole situation. Death pools were maybe a bit ghoulish but the frustrating discussion of inequality that a lot of goons attached onto as being Bad really was justified, especially as things just got stupider and stupider (epitomized by Shriya Shah-Klorfine, Ms. Photoshop Her Way Up The Mountain.)
