Yeah these are the same people that mock the roid ragers in the roid thread. Taking depression about being a sad dumpy excuse for a human because you hardly move and eat endlessly so hate what you see in the mirror and running with that to "chop off my dick and balls and throw imported horse estrogen down my neck because my doctor says I am just depressed" is so peak fucking goon with everything they come into contact with, the implosion and mass suicides are going to be so cathartic.

Come to think of it, steroid abuse doesn't seem nearly as bad because at least the 'roid crew aren't going around antagonizing absolutely everyone outside of their miserable circle. The 'roid guys are fucking up their own bodies to try and achieve inhuman strength and physique, roid rage is shitty, but they're not openly vindictive, out to ruin the lives of anyone that says "hey that might not be such a great idea".
Trannies, on the other hand, most people are outright afraid of, due to their cultlike vindictive behavior, going after people's jobs and trying to get them unpersoned over the tiniest things. Not only are they destroying themselves, they all work together like a warmongering cult that seeks to infiltrate wherever they can and rule with an iron fist the moment they can get away with it.
It speaks volumes that KiwiFarms needs to have a million signs at registration that say "Seriously, don't reveal your fucking identity", along with an entire mantra and stickers that discourage revealing anything identifying about yourself, while Something Awful and just about any other tranny community openly encourages people to post their pictures and whatever info they like. Gee, it's almost like they're not at any risk whatsoever of any sort of personal attack.

If you understand cult mechanics, there's a much more insidious reason for this.

Unless I'm misreading your post or misunderstanding what you said, you remarked on how troons are encouraged to share. In cults, people are encouraged to overshare their dirty laundry/private details in order to use it as leverage against them later if they happen to not follow orders or try to break with the hivemind.

She should have never posted, but couldn’t resist because she’s a BPD chick and she needed to be publicly legitimized by Lowtax.
The funniest part is it would have been easy as shit to win most goons over. All she had to do was follow the advice of the book she takes great pains to reference on her own fucking dumb website and make the goons the hero of the story.
Instead of being a hyper defensive thin skinned loon making vulgar jokes and using vague corporate jargon with promises of big bucks and youth market appeal...,she just had to compliment goons and pretend she gave a fuck about their opinions. Basically just not be a narcissistic twit. Tell goons they are the heart and soul of SA! Their opinions matter the most! Ask SA’s most ardent supporters what they like and don’t like, make them feel important and listened too. Goons would have stampeded the thread, posted essays and felt validated.
It’s fucking PR/marketing/politics 101.
Instead she made it all about her, her very smart undefined plans and told them the forums didn’t matter and were unimportant, until she was reminded that they were the reason Lowtax gets $9k a month so then she was hiring developers to upgrade them.
She was so eager to defend herself as a real lady boss and Mrs Lowtax Business partner, brand strategist for SA that she came off as exactly what she is - a great pretender. She’s a insecure, childish, shrill side piece who doesn’t have any real business experience but who Lowtax is pretending is some sort of business partner to try and hide the fact he’s been cheating on his wife.

I hope people don't mind another lore post, since it seems my last was well received.
This post is about the rise of BMW. Bear with me on the setup, I think the payoff at the end is worth it. I hope you will think so, too.
With DayZ hitting the scene, 2012-2013 saw Steam awash with tons of survival games. One of the survival games that arrived around that time was a game called Rust. Rust is developed by the same group that made Garry's Mod, and ostentatiously is a simple survival simulator. But because of how the game is mechanically structured, it becomes a sociopathic tendency litmus test -- in other words, ideal for goons to play. The gameplay loop is: start naked with a rock, bash things to create better things to bash things with, build a base, then blow up other people's bases. There appears to be no reason to not trick, rob, kill, and deceive everyone you can find, and when you die you drop all your resources, in essence rewarding craven behavior.
In 2013, an SA poster, Bishyaler, created a thread in the Private Games forum advertising his Rust server. The server proved popular among goons, and was apparently almost always full. Goons congregated in one corner of the map, and because of the ramshackle shacks that goons built, the disheveled appearance of the base, and the sheer volume of people in the area, someone decided to name the goon camp "Detroit," seemingly in homage to the American city that the goon base reflected. As this was a different SA, no one seemed to mind the moniker.
The players that populated the server were mostly part of a longtime SA Mumble/Pidgin community called "CTS" or Camping The Stairs, an homage to the session shooters like Counter-Strike that many of the posters played. CTS was a large social community, and soon Bishyaler's server had people in queue to play. Like EVE, Rust rewards having tremendous manpower to hoover up resources and attack other bases, so someone had the idea to "goonrush" other Rust servers repeatedly. The plot was simple: Goons would invade populated servers en masse, and use their numbers to quickly overtake any other groups on that server. They would do this until the server population was decimated, and then move on.
Possibly in homage to the "detroit" base they first built on their home server, CTS goons began disguising their invading clans on other servers by naming themselves after automotive companies. One of the main groups that began appearing in every rush was called "BMW." Eventually whenever a server invasion occurred, this became the default name used. Over time, BMW SA posters started to become an independent identity, about the same time as CTS split into groups you might have heard of like Starfleet Dental or Mapgoons. When Discord came out, almost everyone left the Mumble/Pidgin CTS server and split into the groups you know now. Mapgoons split and began almost exclusively playing Paradox games like Crusader Kings of Europa Universalis, Starfleet Dental formed out of the people that went to Star Trek: Online, and BMW continued to raid servers in Rust.
People steadily continued to join the BMW Discord from CTS and from SA, as BMW became the main group that played survival games. I've heard the "detroit" base name persist in many goon groups outside of BMW, perhaps a callback to old CTS roots. Regardless, BMW jumped from Rust to many other survival games, with a steadily increasing member count.
This is where things get a little strange. I'll piece things together the best I can from what I know.
In 2015, Donald Trump announced his run for President of the United States. Something Awful was overwhelmingly in favor of the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton winning. I think many of the CTS/BMW people felt like Trump was a meme, and began posting a ton of pro-maga memes. A fracture began to occur -- between core SA posters who took the entire matter very seriously, and BMW posters who thought the entire thing was a joke. Like much of SA, politics was abuzz on many of the SA-related discords. Donald Trump won the election, SA began to meltdown, and life went on.
Soon after Trump was elected, an Early Access version of Conan Exiles dropped on Steam. With CTS defunct, and Conan Exiles appealing to their core demographic, BMW hosted the "Official SA Conan Exiles server" (There are archived threads on SA, but I cannot access them at the moment). This server became the first real re-mixing between a shifted SA and a goon gaming community that more or less lived on their own island. Non-BMW goons built a base, and BMW built a base. As it goes, friction began immediately. Many SA goons realized that many BMW people (or "bimmers" as SA posters began to call them, perhaps as a derisive corruption of "boomer") were unironically conservative, or at least progressives, which did not fall into the hard-left SA demographic at this point.
Because this is Something Awful, there was drama. As the story goes, someone from BMW eschewed attacking the "pubbie" bases on the server, and blew through a wall in the SA goon base, and murdered the logged off players within. Unironically, SA goons began comparing this event to not just a raid in game, but an attack by the political right against the left. One poster compared it to a "gestapo" raid. The gloves came off. Goons declared war on BMW. Rageposts began appearing not only in the games forum, but D&D of all places. "A bunch of fucking rightoid shills keep fucking trolling people trying to play games" was one post.
SA goons began trying to raid the BMW base. As BMW played survival games full time, they were more organized, and more prepared. A bunch of BMW members with anime avatars wearing MAGA hats summoned a giant snake god-thing (I guess you can do that) and leveled the entire goon base. They followed up with relentlessly mocking the core-SA posters in the relevant threads on the games forum.
For many posters, BMW's developing pro-free speach and right leaning bend was enough to not only cause many goons to quit, but begin smearing them on the forums. As 2017 rolled on, "nazi" became the common criticism of the organization. Most BMW posters were banned from SA at an even lower bar than other posters, and roiling paranoia in CSPAM, TGRS, and offsite discords began.
Nevertheless, BMW saw a lot of SA users join, mostly as refugees as they were banned from the site proper for "wrongthink." Other pseudo gaming groups sprouting off from SA, such as the hyper-leftist Serious Overchill (SRSOC), by their own omission, began trying to "infiltrate" BMW's unlocked and open discord that literally anyone could join. Being a troon makes everything difficult, though. In an ironic twist, a "reverse schindler's list" began being compiled by SRSOC denizens, and passed on to mods.
This has lead us, dear readers, to current events: PPJ being "outed" as a BMW member, mass bans and coverups by moderators, lists passed around, and witch hunts galore, all centered around a group that apparently plays videogames. I cannot find any instances of BMW actively interacting with SA recently, at least overtly, but SA has developed an obsession with rooting them out. SA has turned itself into a circular firing squad on the issue, and there has been a tremendous amount of recent drama because of this...

I was going to rate this autistic without even reading it for just being really long, but I advise everyone to read it. Read this shit. It explains a lot of how SA has gone full retard and how it went full retard.

The term is way older than SA or Goons. Back in the 80s it was just shorthand or slang for "BMW owner". The car itself we'd refer to it as a "Beemer".

Yeah, and it's darker than it sounds at first glance. Cults use that manipulation technique to make someone look like a fool in front of the larger population which makes most people, and understandably so, want to have nothing to do with those pariahs in both employment or personal matters, and then, after exposing the rebellious members to hatred and isolation most cults are ready to welcome them back: "see? We were your best friends all long, we hurt you because we love you, our hate isn't senseless like that from others".
New Age religions like scientology are famous for allegedly doing that speeding the process (pun intended) with drugs and torture thanks to the advancements of modern psychology, they even have a name for it ('fair game'), and, apparently, so are Onision and Kai Anderson according to some hardcore fans that used to live with them.

That "circular firing squad" thing and forum witch hunts is an SA tradition. Once helldump ran out of weirdos to target it started to turn on itself. I also think the helldump purges worsened SA. The content declined quite rapidly once everyone realized SA was no longer a free speech area where you could post whatever the fuck you wanted. The perverts , furries and general maladjusted weirdos really made the forums worth reading, because inevitably someone would post something completely off the rails in response to an innocuous post.

I actually researched this when we started using the name and I could have sworn it was the reverse, cars were Bimmers and the motorcycles were Beemers, that said I have heard people call the cars Beemers so idk.

It was bad before then. I remember wandering out of one of the hobby subforums and into E/N around 2012 or 2013 getting dogpiled by feminists and being all like, "What the fuck happened to this place?"
It's almost as if BMW has the ideal of free speech enshrined in it's own rules since day one. We allow almost anything, barring illegal content, discord TOS violations, or incitement/violence/threats. This weird concept of "yeah do whatever, just dont be a fag about it" is simply intolerable to the Troonsquad, as we for all intents and purposes are completely out of their realm of influence. There are no mods or admins they can cry to in order to get us to conform to the hivemind. This inability to "get" us despite their best (lol) efforts has sent them into a frothing impotent rage and spawned no end of paranoia.
If only being in our server wasn't grounds for an insta-ban these days, the more adventurous and less insane posters might show up and find out we're actually normal people doing normal shit most of the time and don't feel the need to police instances of the Gamer word and think Orange Man Not So Bad.
Here's lookin at you Jones, you were all right dude, even if you were on a deep cover op to "out" us or whatever the bullshit excuse you came up with to cover your ass might be. I'd have hoped you would have learned from hanging around us for nearly two years that the winning move is not to play their game and just say "fuck off" when they demand anything from you.
