liquid penguins was a creepy freak and messaged me that out of nowhere, they got perma'd for something unrelated so it doesn't matter anymore but when I messaged axemaniac saying "hey this weirdo sent me this extremely creepy message" he was like "hands tied, can't do anything, your word against his"

AxeManiac was so useless in so many ways.

lurdiak was not even the only guy who regularly said touhou is for pedophiles in games lol. fortunately the few ive seen who said that with any frequency have been scared off, cuz lol come on man.

I mean there's some weird people who really, really like the characters in bad ways but I don't assume everyone who likes it that kind of person. And besides, pretty much every major media property has weirdo freaks so it isn't like Touhou has a monopoly.

there are very gross people who like almost anything (as a great example, our very own deviantart thread lol), but the point these people are making is the series itself is explicitly catering to pedophiles. which is insane on the face of it. and then doubly so because zun has said "yeah im never gonna write or really even imply romantic relationships in this media cuz i dont know how to do that" lol.

I mean yeah, obviously it's not meant to cater to those sorts of people. It's just the old DURR LIKING ANIME MEANS PEDOPHILE thing that refuses to die (and admittedly there's far too much anime/manga that does cater to that poo poo, and by too much I mean there's "some" instead of "none" and I don't want to get into an argument over specific examples).

Portal of Evil was a website back in the late 90's and early 2000's that was a collection of obscure websites. They had rule - you weren't supposed to harass webmasters of the weird sites you looked up. It was unlike the early days of SA and awful link of the day when nobody had a problem with 'goonrushing' obscure geocities webpages. They saw themselves as curators of the bizarre, don't harass and disturb these weirdos so they don't leave the internet.

Some internet legends were frequent contributors to PoE, like Robert Wolpaw (of Old Man Murray Fame and also one of the story writers for Portal) and Seanbaby.

It doesn't exist anymore. I just googled "Portal of Evil" and the first two results were a tabletop RPG and obscure computer game from 2015. The third result was from WikiFur - people who would have an obvious beef about someplace like Portal of Evil.

Also the oft-mentioned F Plus podcast was started by a bunch of ex-PoE forums people, some of whom are also SA members.

The goon who made the video didn't actually know about the Wounded Knee Massacre (on the account of not being American) and legitimately thought it was a Skyrim reference.

This is actually referencing another video where some LPer with the nerdiest possible voice insisted that it was a reference to Skyrim and not, y'know, the Wounded Knee Massacre. I remember the quote "Booker DeWitt, wounded in the knee."

Dude constantly posting no effort obit threads for D-list at best celebrities and others. When he'd get probated, he's register burner accounts to keep posting them. Just a completely deranged individual so naturally the usual suspects responsible for GBS adored him and gave him with the "oh what a little scamp you are" treatment.

There really wasn't a reason to suspect Dm was a permabanned poster, but I think the gimmick started going to their head in the last few months and it caused them to slip up

If anyone really wants to talk more about why nobody noticed that Driftingmouse was a permabanned psycho for a long while then that's definitely something for SAD shop talk and how easy or reliable alt checks are and not here. If he said something funny or whatever, sure, bring it up here, but it sounds like he was more of a miserable creep than anything.

It's not so much that it was ever funny, but it's vaguely interesting because even by gimmick account standards, reregging repeatedly to post vaguely famous people obit threads is a strange gimmick.
