The MUMPSorceress posted:

The un banned informant they're referring to is The Iron Rose, who went and shared a bunch of other trans goons Facebook info with kiwi farms because she got pissed at me using the term "microaggression" for some weird sociopathic reason. Afaik she is still not permabanned which upsets me a bit since she sicced those assholes on me, but I know she gets banned semi regularly in the d&d purges.

They were really fixated on me for a while to the point that they got poo poo like my home address and birth certificate, but then the most they could work up the courage to do was send me pms on SA with Google maps links to fast food restaurants near my house. At the end of the day kf is just a bunch of really sad weirdos who try to boost their self worth by maintaining their pathetic little burn book website and the writing manifestos about how they're fighting for free speech or something.

I was catching up and what the gently caress. I see that person constantly. Why are they still here?

I looked into The Iron Rose's posts in the threads in which The MUMPSorceress remembered her having confessed to doxxing. I couldn't find anything to support that.

Same here. That's what truly baffled me :shrug:

I mean, certainly yes, but the post they are responding to also explicitly genders her.

unless specifically said by the person I'm referring to, I try to stay gender neutral and not to take pronouns from 3rd parties.

which...is ironic since I was probably too credible about the OP's claims otherwise. In terms of sagas, I think they were probably referring to Jenner.

What's the story with Jenner?

amazingly, there is nothing in the SAcylopedia.

basically, the original canary in a coalmine for the forums trans doxxing problem. she made a thread about getting harassed, was called crazy and overreacting by a bunch of people, and somehow Lowtax got the impression that she was actually permabanned poster stomper58 because he lacks object permanence, and permabanned her temporarily.

then, that weird thread Mumps linked, had the KF poster claiming that Jenner was secretly trying to get harrassed by going to KF or something, so she could "be a martyr".

it's been a bit but if I remember correctly somewhere they made a post where they said/admitted they were that poster, although I'm pretty sure it was a joke that was immediately taken at face value.

It's pretty funny how the goon fear of being seen as a nerd translates to a bizarrely puritanical idea of what a wedding should be.

it's kind of wild in an "american accent is closer to traditional english than current british accents" sort of way but old SA was a feral bitch palace basically indistinguishable from current day KF or 4chan, it's just that everyone who stuck around figured out how to socialize, while everyone too embittered on their own ugliness to get along began pidgeonholing themselves into smaller and smaller communities of indistinguishable miserable turd-goblins.

to them, we're the normies.

I can give some slack, because 13 years is a long time for growing up, but the idea that some of those people were late 20s or older back then is pretty bonechilling.

I joined SA right around the beginning of the shift to its current culture, and it has been really interesting to see the toxic weirdos slowly get squeezed out. The fact that the FYAD drama just now happened, after the last of the authentic irony vanished, is reflective of that

I wish I still had the link, but there was another thread with some rear end in a top hat giving away his dog because he "didn't have time".

The leak from the Eve Goon guild discussing having operatives determine whether any of the developers were "usefully gay" for honeypotting

They did, by the way, out a rival commander as being gay by posting his dating profile in a forum slapfight. Thankfully, the universal reaction was disgust at their action, and laughter, because he had been out for years.

The operative in question was a real life private investigator, and would use his professional tools to dig up personal information on people who joined the guild. Because they could steal pixels, you see.

I really really love any fact telling about the nazi's idiot dumb decisions. anything to deflate the myths about their invincibility and evil power. fascism is such a (literally) degenerative death cult philosophy, and the Nazi's really embodied how it saps a country of real strength.

the only thing they did well was to murder innocent civilians, and even those non-militarized innocent civilians gave them quite a few black eyes.

More like the 2 week mark starting with the long effort post by someone who said they returned their wife's christmas presents so they could donate $6k to a racist white redneck with fantasies of being a restaurant mogul.

It just descended from there as goons got so hyped on their own farts they started insisting Doobie embrace a bunch of SA specific stuff like make a "frog-dog" and start getting really testy when it wasn't happening fast enough.


That was at least funny in hindsight. Once the gas ran out on the Kickstarter mock and it became "hey let's harass this man on Facebook" is when it got terrible.

these last few days have really sucked poo poo. I don't get why so many people are unable to see the human behind the keyboard. sometimes I wonder if the reason these boards can get so nasty is because a wifebeating narcissist helped build the culture, and ever since the taint of that has stayed here.

I've had many good interactions with goons, and have made lifelong friendships here, but lately it honestly feels like that is "in spite of" rather then "because of"

By the context of the rest of the message it sounds like she meant "I would also like to apologize" and typoed it because it's not a pristine form letter passed through the hands of a dozen lawyers and editors. As long as we're nitpicking words, notice the word "again" in LAB's first message? I was told this is a continuation of a discussion/apology from the mod board, but of course I'm not able to view those boards so I can't confirm that. And I didn't bring this up before because you all clearly decided you hated KM years ago (and also because, you know, I can't prove it, which seems a pretty reasonable excuse to not bring it up).

Also, *I* asked *KM* whether I could post these, she didn't tell me to do it and didn't even suggest doing so. So poo poo on me all you want for posting the receipts you asked for, but trying to gin this up into yet another reason to continue your crusade is kinda hosed up.

Km did the healthy thing by disengaging, as did LAB. Don't be a flying monkey and exacerbate this poo poo.
