My favorite part was where the word "Nazi" came out when there was absolutely no association between that point of view and that of a nazi. It's like they always say, nazi only means "person I disagree with politically".

The funny thing is that the people who call others Nazis are the one who act like Nazis.
 
Huh that's weird, when I left they would call you a gamergater (or a chud in gbs), regardless of the topic at hand. Nazi was just reserved for custom red title, or some other partial hazing.
e: nevermind I read the posts, they dared disagree with the trannies, they must obviously be part of the nazi party.

How are goons squaring those circles?
 
Man I love seeing Goons attempt to debate troon bullshit because you get these posts that are attempting to examine a complex and not at all straightforward and obvious question in the way activists would like you to think that are infinitely more thoughtful than anything else that gets posted and immediately they just get people losing their minds and saying 'Fuck you Nazi' and 'Mods?!' until they get banned. Simply cannot bring themselves to actually respond in good faith to the various hard questions raised because at the end of it all they know they have nothing to respond with and have to rely on making discussion in itself flatly forbidden if its outside very tightly controlled parameters of agreeing with TRA activists on everything.
 
It's also classic because you see the dyed-in-the-wool take-no-prisoners goon vernacular/cadence/posting-style instantly the second someone veers into wrong-think territory. Grammar, punctuation, passive-aggressive hunning, well-poisoning etc. Just a smorgasbord of terminally online leftist best-ofs.

It will never get old how they always try to openly call for others to get banned.

Honestly, it's faster than the same 6 posters that shit up every thread just passive aggressive no-grammar posting sarcastically at them and getting away with it while whoever responds is a dead man walking because nothing they post is going to be acceptable outside of complete capitulation. Easy to forget though that SA does come with a handy ignore feature that believe it or not, actually improves a lot of threads by providing the opportunity to almost completely hide the faggots.
 
SA used to have a pretty international user base. For example, I remember some Swedish goon called Von Pluring who posted something about pizza that made it to the front page.

I guess the international posters just quit as the environment became more and more politicized

The mods were conflicted on what to do with Europe.
On one hand, epic age of consent and statutory rape laws.
On the other, Zwarte Piet.

Imagine a place so pozzed, so over run with genderfag troon shit, that not even Eurofags will bother going there.
SomethingAwful became that place.

The troon shit and racial politics were so overbearing that it scared away all but the most cucked of the foreign goon legion. Of the zombie user base that still use the site, It's mostly just Icebacks and Britbongs posting, desperately trying to get some attaboys by pretending the US's self-inflicted cultural problems with niggers and fags can be transplanted into their countries.

Everything is racist, everything is sexist and you have to SHUT. IT. DOWN.

I used to post on SA a lot but pretty much stopped by '16. Looked at it again in '20 and '21 and just noped the fuck out.

Sometimes I miss SA before it reached troon and radicalization critical mass.
 
In my opinion, SA should have closed down at least 15 years ago. It has been a shitty forum for far longer than the years it was a good forum.

I recently read an article by a woman who had studied Islam in an academic setting and had become a convicted opponent of Islam in the process. To her, one of the major faults with Islam wasn't related to fanaticism or violence, but had to do with the fact that it instills a lethargic and apathetic mindset in it's adherents. The Islamic fundamentalists that she had encountered weren't not so much fanatics, but incredibly indolent people. Everything was just "Inshallah, it is not for us to decide" and "Inshallah, it is already written in stone" to these people.
I can see why Islam as a religion could have some kind of appeal to neet slackers.

No. Early SA was ridiculously elitist, excessively snarky, and extremely argumentative. That hasn't changed save for swapping elitism with a paranoid hivemind.

KF users can at least argue about something without getting dogpiled unless their opinion is completely idiotic. And the only elitism is for the sake of the forum, like not engaging with the lolcows or archiving information. Nobody is going to ban you for not using capitalization or starting a post with "so" like early SA did, and people aren't going to hold year-long grudges because you dared to disagree with them.
