Not even just neo-marxist accelerationists or communist agitators, also degenerates seeking to normalize their fetishes at any cost, those who don't necessarily give a shit about neo-marxist accelerationism, they just want to normalize their perversions.

Another very good example is After the Ball. I've gradually been improving on the OP in that thread to make it less autistic.

I've kinda been inspired by @I_Am_Not_Bruce_Willis 's example and started to do even more threads on LGBTQ history here.
I'll have to take a look at this. If you haven't already, I'd recommend David Halperin's "Saint Foucault: Towards a Gay Hagiography," which is widely considered the seminal text of queer theory. Famously, it defines "queer" as anything outside normal sexual activity, explicitly including pedophilia.
 
wow.
my favorite writeup on this forum in a long, long time.
from reading the shmorky bit it turns out i actually started browsing this forum in very late 2016, a bit earlier than i thought since i remember it being pre skype leaks but post amanda crashout.
needless to say the tumblrization of a lot of these hobbies lead to my gradual major loss of interest in all this stuff in the late 2010s but seeing a simpler time of the first half of the decade really brings back a lot of youth and nostalgia for me.
another thing i should add is that i always felt there was some connection between YTP and webcomic creator circles around this time, and this thread probably documented it in the best way i've seen. one thing i feel is missing though is that you could even use these files to connect it to some people like sam hyde and MDE, i feel something like that exists but i'm not sure how beyond tumblr loving MDE up until sam came out as redpilled. (could have helped sam get his show onto [adult swim] as well with connections)
i think if such a connection exists then it proves how surprisingly well a lot of these internet communities were connected and then fractured apart because of current year politics, with tumblr of course being patient zero.
 
Tho I will say, MLYP, the guy that exposed Grummz as a gooner freak, made mention in the intro of his latest Something Awful lore video about working on a bigger video about SA's influence on the Internet at large, so that could be good (tho it will definitely have a lefty bias)
He released the video I'm assuming you're talking about. Just finished watching it, and yes, it definitely has a lefty bias.

Just finishing it up now, agreed on the lefty bias, though thankfully it isn't overbearing and doesn't introduce too many outright disqualifying falsehoods. I also have a soft spot for the portion of the left that alogs the NRx / tech-bro sphere, lol
 
the latest issue of this month has an obvious self-insert boy who was meant to be a blatant they-them/themself/xir thing, but someone had called out the writers at the last second, as instead he has no pronouns and is instead referred by his name, and it feels clunky as hell
Akhyally, it is still a "genderless" character, just with pronoun of choice being a name T_T

A genderless blob is still referred as a "they" thing IIRC. Hell, in the issue itself the parents still refer to the character as a "they" in one pic which I sure the reviewer didn't spot.

20 already? I swear this insanity began in the 2010s.

It's been simmering for decades, mostly contained to universities. What I'm taking away from this whole thread is that the internet enabled it to breach containment and seize hold of the mainstream through the mid 10's.

One reason why I just won't tolerate this series whatsoever.

In the words of Bob Page: "Why contain it?"
We saw the effects of (((intersectionality))) dictate that a fandom and bullshit ideas that we falsely claim to be "politics" can walk together.
 
Again, this is what happens when you let progressives dictate your fanbase.
No such thing as a conservative fan for Sonic, nevermind other coutries. What would be the closest thing, Shadow fans?

Yeah, by mid-2010s, all leftards either took of their masks or went crazy, with no exception.
I remember how in Archie Sonic, the long-lived comic, after a reboot of sorts caused due to a legal dispute fuckery, at one point, a minor character belonging to the GUN military shows up. The issue? It was the ubiquitous ugly nigress in a position of power, but of course. There were barely any blacks in this comic before that point.

EDIT:

This terrible short about Netflix Tomb Raider Season 2 might explain why IDW Sonic has crying lesbians. It seems to be common in the woke crowd.

There's less crying in their so-called qweer utopia Revolutionary Girl Utena. It's almost like if you take away character personalities and motivations, you leave behind a void, and voids are just gaping holes that will weep whatever substance you keep pouring into it.

If you want characters to cry, you gotta earn that shit, otherwise they're just crybabies.

It's almost like they were inspired by a certain cartoon about sentient rocks or something.
 
A marvelous series of writeups, amazing work man. Seeing all the disparate stuff of the past come together like this is an eye-opener but it does make sense. Nothing ever happens in isolation, especially with something as socially driven as internet communities.

Maybe if I ever have time and more importantly the willpower I'd do a writeup about the rise of the counterculture that emerged as SJWism ramped up and mutated into the globohomo of today. I don't think I've ever seen a comprehensive historical overview like you did for Tumblr on that one, I have a definite feeling it's more than just 2016 /pol/. Would probably be more politics heavy too since it originated from the politicization of everything, after all. Have you encountered anything about that in your research?

I know about GamerGate (obviously), all the "Triggered SJW" compilations that went viral, how /pol/ rose to power and overtook 4Chan's zeitgeist, and I think that's about it.
 
Looking through all this, it's very interesting to see it all laid out. Like, all of these groups had all come together. Many of the users listed had been mutuals for many years. I had seen people in the Steven Universe fandom be mutuals with Soundclown users and Repaint users. Tumblr made it extremely easy for people in the gaming and animation industries to be direct influence with each other and their fanbases. Its crazy to look back and witnessing all this happening in real time, thinking it was just simple internet shenanigans. 2016 truly was the turning point for a lot of things, it's either you went down with it all or detached from all of it to save yourself. Sad to see many old mutuals of mine did not want to escape, so many of them now are stuck in the 2016 era of the Internet.
