I suspected but have no real evidence troon also came about because "TruScum" - that is, Transexuals who wanted to get surgically close to the gender they deluded themselves they and then drop out of queer & tranny spaces and otherwise stop screeching general politics (extremely haram).
You TruScum and Troons.

Don’t forget “tucute,” their made up word for saying that just being trans is enough to be taken at their word. True scum and too cute, get it?

I always thought it was internet meme voodoo economics where it started on SA, trickled down to Something Sensitive, and just spread out from there. Either way, very pleased that it has entered modern lexicon. Punchy, effective, suitably derogatory with enough mystery and crassness to pique the interest of the casual beholders.

SA was ground zero for troonery, as it was arguably the epicenter of troonery in the late 2000s/early 2010s until Tumblr took off. By that time, SA had a bad reputation for being problematic due to its past. Many troons stayed there though due to sheer inertia.
 
It was a nice place before all the political spergatory, i don't regret spending 10bux on it.
I regret not leaving when i started to hate everyone on the site tho, what a retard i was to stay for years still, don't know what i was thinking.

Remember doom bathroom the DIY goon that cut his floor joist for a tub?

He s selling his house

Click to expand...

He's not selling his house. He's making someone else responsible for fixing the dry-rotting water damaged joists he cut in half for his retardo tub (doubles as mold farm)

I'm feeling "getting raped in the divorce" vibes.
There ar 75 pictures and over half are of the area around the house, parks and things, which tells me they aren't relying on the water-damaged joists as the main reason to get someone to buy this house. lol.

**SELLER WILL REDUCE THE PRICE EVERY WEEK, WILL NOT ACCEPT UNDER LIST PRICE OFFERS**
Click to expand...
A reverse auction isn't the worst idea when you want to exit a property, but why tilt your hand like that. lol.

"This uniquely remodeled home is a true gem"
Lol. Translating that from realtor: This home is a piece of shit, everything is non-standard and the code compliance is straight YOLO.

"Step into the heart of the home: a fully remodeled kitchen that will ignite your inner chef. Featuring two-tone custom cabinetry, elegant quartz waterfall countertops, high-end appliances, and a striking decorative tile backsplash, every detail has been carefully curated."
Yes, it definitely makes me channel my inner gordon ramsey. But the part where he yells at lazy morons, not the part where he cooks. 'Every detail has been considered' by the same idiot who turned his masterbath's shower into a locker room and put a mold pit around the tub.

The kitchen feels like an encapsulation of this house, where there's so a lot of nice touches like a spigot over the stove to fill pots but then you have the retarded angled island and wings so the main points are awful and ruin it.

Like the fireplace with no chimney.

"The downstairs living area boasts wood-look tile flooring"
Ok. So wood print vinyl downstairs.

"that adds warmth and sophistication, perfectly complementing the modern kitchen."
Over bare cracked concrete? I guess. Faux wood vinyl flooring DOES go along with the thought process that spawned the kitchen and master bath, yes.

"Upstairs, majestic wood floors lead to a master suite that feels like a private retreat featuring contemporary decorative elements, custom blinds, built-in storage, and a large window overlooking the scenic hills. "
There is one shitty pic of the master bedroom, which can tell you how great the the "private retreat" feeling is and how amazing the view of the "scenic hills" is.
Or, to translate to normies from realtor: The master bedroom has limited windows, no balcony, and has wonderful views of your neighbors and vice versa.

"The master bathroom has been fully transformed with a sleek, modern design that stands out from the rest—including a multi-head shower with steam room, sunken tub, and custom vanity; this private oasis offers a spa-like experience every day. "
AHHAHAHHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAHAH yes its been transformed and it definitely stands out from the rest in the same way the burned out wreck pushed to the median stands out from the the rest of the cars.
'Multihead shower' nigger it is a side-by-side lockeroom. 'Multiheads' are supposed to give you that all around carwash experience, this just lets you have weird lockerroom roleplay with the male hookers you picked up. Like you can't even have fun "saving water for the planet" showers, you just have your own shower next to your S/O who is having their own.

Which makes me only double down on the "getting raped in the divorce" for the sales strategy.
FFS the showerheads don't even detach so you can't even have water fights with the wife.

"Also upstairs, the loft comes pre-wired for 7.1 surround sound and includes custom curtains to make you feel like you’re at the theater."
Makes you feel like you're at the adult theater with Peewee Herman.

Let me translate that:
Homeowner who bought it from the builder was too cheap to turn that space into another bedroom so you have a shitty zero-privacy space. Since it is upstairs and right off the stairs, you ensure not only that you can't block out light unless you completely black out the downstairs, but you are ensuring the entire house can hear your movie. The stairs will funnel the noise to the inlaw suite and common areas, and you're right in line with all the bedrooms.
IT being upstairs ensures its in the hottest part of the house - i know I want my theaters to be as hot as possible. Pooling in your own sweet really adds to the experience. And if you want to make the upgrade that really enhances the home theater experience the most - a really kickin' woofer - that just means your plywood subfloor now turns into a (shitty) transducer to really make sure that bass can be heard and felt downstairs and in all the bedrooms.
Its not even a good place for a children's play area because it opens right on to the stairs and is in the path of transit to the bedrooms.

"The 3-car tandem garage provides ample storage with built-in overhead storage racks, a built-in enclosed storage wall, and a rolling workbench."
There are no pictures of the garage, so I'll let you imagine just how proud they actually are of the garage. Also 3-car tandem is not a 3 car garage. it is a normal 2-car garage but one side been extended forward another car length so you park a 3rd car, but to get that car in or out, you need to move the one behind it. Also that extra deep spot is between the door between the garage and the house, so if you park a car there you'll be pushing past it every time you want to go out.

"Outside, the landscaped backyard "
Oh my god realtors need to die right after journalists. 'The back yard was fully leveled by development like the entire fucking neighboor was'. That's landscaped.

the "landscaped back yard" has a shitty firepit and patches of dead grass because it wasn't actually landscaped for plant life, just flattened as part of development.

Also I love the ivy growing on the porch ceiling. I know I can't fucking wait to sweep up dead leaves all year round and have anythign sitting out there covered in them. And they couldn't even have some illegal with a ladder sweep up the tree-cum from the roof before taking the drone shots.

I'd have to be able to stop laughing long enough to type.

I did computer janitor work for a real estate company at one point, and saw the simpsons episode about Marge being a realtor, but also
The first house I bought was new construction in an an area that was quite nice but had some very thorny issues and about a year after I bought got a little fucked by a zoning change stealthy pushed through as soon as the past property was built but before the new voting bloc could make itself known to the city council.

I'd looked at all the floorplans with friends and we did some LARP like we lived there - act out cookign to test the kitchen flow, pretend you have guests over to see how much of your house they have to go through, etc - so I was pretty familiar with the ups and downs of the other models. I had a zillow alert set up to watch resales just keep an eye on property values.

Watching the shark of a realtor who sold the homes from the developer resell them to the general public, reading the descriptions and knowing all about the sticking points of the area and home designs was enlightening. I thought I was pretty good on catching Realtor bullshit but that gave me a whole new education on precisely how scummy realtors are.

Watching the realtor sell the properties based on the "views" that were well on their way to being blocked by a new commerical/residential development made me deside that realtors need to be against the wall right behind modern journalists. Seeing them try to pitch a 2-car tandem garage that backed out on a minimum width for a firelane drive and was accross the neighbor's 2-car tandem as anything other than hell on earth. Talking about things that were "walkable" but were on the otherside of the highway and thus needed nearly a mile of detour to reach a bridge that would allow you to cross the highway. Talking about the neighborhood being "quiet" but the minute you stepped out the door you were bathed in whitenoise from the near-by interstate.

and having bought and shopped for properties since has kept my hatred alive and fresh.

Realtors are not allowed to knowingly lie on listings, so the minute they put ANY qualifiers on something, know you are getting an entire April 20th Raggae Fest's quantity of smoke blown right up your ass.
Because they are trying to make sure nothing is objective and only subjective.

I.e. "uniquely remodeled".
What the fuck does that even mean? no one knows what it means. Its provocative
Even if they follow an exact standard plan, it would still be 'unique' to that home. But 'unique' is usually used to describe somethign that potential buyers will absolutely loathe, so you try to sell them on the fact its something no one else has. You won't have a cookie cutter house, yours will have insulated stairs and a living room ceiling sagging from the poorly supported weight of a tub full of water, but its something Steve from acounting doesn't have.
I am fairly sure the "unique" in this case was mostly about the hideous choices of paint colors.

anyway, parting Life tip:
If you are home shopping, find a lawyer with a realtor's license to be your realtor. Its a good idea to have a lawyer look at documents you are given to sign - real estate people people hate it when you do this, which is how you know it is the right move - and if you can find one who does both, they'll usually do the lawyer part for no extra charge.
The main thing you gain from this is as they are now attached to you in a lawyer sense, they need to put your interests over their financial gain. That is, you don't need to worry about friendly fire.

The downside to this is usually they won't want to put in the time to walk properties with you, just arrange meetings on stuff you're interested in, so you're usually meeting with the seller's agent to go through a property and thus can trust absolutely nothing they say. If they say "I love this sunny weather we're having today" you will need to step outside to make sure its not currently raining.

So the commodification of houses really sucks. I rather like people that make their home, well their home.

I m in a 1970s house with a dark wood engineered floor and dark wood valueted ceiling, its a product of its time and I m okay with that.

I ve worked for slum lords and I used to play lookie lue with some agents I knew. The worst are houses that are from 1960s that got a refesh in the 1980s and 2000s they become basket cases.

Oh god I forgot about this being his idea to up resale value. I thought he was married for some reason.

I have talked to realtors and contractors I will tell you niggers one thing:
No major home project EVER increases the resale value of your home more than what you spent. None.

Now note two things:
I said major, and I said increased resale value.
Redoing paint, resurfacing floors, ripping out carpet if there is hardwood floors underneath, replacing cabinet doors, retiling bathrooms, these can all result in improvements to home pricing ESPECIALLY if you can underpay for labor (DIY, have a family member, friend, or an illegal you can tap, etc.) or get cheap/free material. I had a friend who did flips who had a freind who worked for one of the Berkshire Hathaway landlord companies and his friend would get him appliances, extra building materials, and Novemeber/December/January would be able to get guys from the work crews at almost half the going rate by having couple-hour jobs available after work and on the weekends and having a cooler full of beer. Guys would readily pick up an after-hours job brought to them by the foreman to have some extra money for christmas/to payoff christmas, but the labor pool was inconsistent.

There is also some tax fuckery you can do where you get your home improvement loan, write off the interest, and sell the next tax year so even break even/marginal value increases turn a profit but the details escape me.

Also I need to point out "Home value" but there are other considerations like opportunity cost. Per flipper friend, he'll update the kitchen and bathroom and take a little bit of a bath if it means the property sells in weeks not months.
People won't care about 90% of the house, and trying to 'fix' those rooms is an excercise in futility because everyone wants different living room configurations. But Bathrooms and Kitchens that are "move-in ready" are vital for a house moving quickly - no one wants to move in and need to redo the kitchen floor or regrout the bathroom.
The master bedroom is another one people expect to be move-in ready but more in a "clean, open" sense. You can't over plan with retarded stuff like storage built into the walls.



There is ONE expensive upgrade that adds more money to the value than you spend (sometimes), and that is Solar Panels installed correctly/to code because people will generally like the lower electric bills and will pay a premium for not needing to go through the bureaucracy to get approved. But if there is anything that a home inspector won't like, you'd better have them fuckers ripped out and redone correctly.

Back In The Day this sorta stuff used to be ironically amusing, kinda like a king or nobleman stepping in shit and a peasant laughing so you put the dude in the stocks. Yeah, it's a bitch move but you have to throw your considerable weight around. Everyone laughs. The heavy-handed moderation was in itself a selling feature coupled with the semi-arbitrary rules of the site and easy ways to get banned automatically even.

Nowadays, like the entire site and its userbase, it's completely embarrassing and totally bitch-made.

"Troon" was actually in use long before SA in the early 2000's and possibly earlier. But, it had a different meaning. It referred to a person who looked like a trans-woman (a guy dressed as a girl), but was in fact actually a woman.

To be fair, even a woman like this is hotter than 99% of trannies. She's not balding with visible stubble on her face, and probably actually smells like a woman.

I've read online accounts by dudes that have fucked the small percentage that pass well, and they were saying the dead give away during sex is the smell. Wet vagina has a very distinctive smell. I can't imagine what a troon hole smells like, but it's probably not like wet vagina. Maybe if you've never been near a real vagina, you wouldn't notice.

I've gone over this before.
Toejam and clean ass; not shit, ass.

When surgeons invert a penis they can't get rid of the epidermis or stop it from acting like epidermis. to tl;dr this, your skin is your first layer of defense against pathogens and parasites. This is why the outer later is dead cells, but they are coated in oil. The oil both hydrates the dead epidermis to keep it from drying out and at microlevels, oil is like trying to move through tar. Even if they make it through the car, all they will find is dead cells that are not very digestible. And your body keeps making more cells and more oil, a mixture called sebum.
This stuff is supposed to rub/wash/flake off naturally, just fall away. When it cannot because of man-made surgical horrors, it just builds up and the oils go rancid. One of the more common places this happens in modern humans is toejam, the build up of sebum under particulary the large toenail. The smell is not fully comparable however because toejam is evenutally removed naturally by your skin growing outwards from under the nail like a conveyor belt. The surgical horror the neogina is not made like that. Unless there deliberate efforts to clean it, it will accumulate.

The other smell will be that of ass. Modern surgical mutilations usually involve taking part of the colon and integrating this with the inverted penis and scrote. They use a part of the sigmoid colon, which... so in digestion the colon extracts water from your poop. This can make your poop too dry, so the sigmoid colon produces mucus to lubricate your kids before you drop them off at the pool so they don't chaff your butthole. Addinf this tissue allows the horrorwound to self-lubriate to a degree. As there is no food processing being done, there would be no fecal odors but it would still smell of the specific brand of mucus your body uses to lube up your logs for final exit.

Oh, there would also be another smell for the trannies having chasers fuck them. Old, mouldering cum. Like imagine the smell of regularly used but never cleaned fleshlight.
