He's already pissed off the FYAD morality police who have started mocking him for "making fun of the mentally ill." They even posted a mock thread sarcastically mocking people in wheelchairs.

Yeah, I saw that. Expect GBS to be full of parody threads started by FYAD concern trolls in a few hours.
 
This guy got banned.

Jury's still out on whether or not goons are allowed to crack bankruptcy jokes though.

though you guys really shouldn't throw stones considering this forum is entirely dedicated to making fun of the mentally ill

We're not throwing stones. We know we're trash. We're just pointing out the absurdity of goons (and especially FYAD) trying to claim any kind of moral high ground.

Lowtax is going to get driven off his own forums again.

I like how he threw in "Nazi," almost like he was trying to harness the protective power of social justice like a magic talisman, and it didn't work at all.

About every single post he's made in that thread is some variation of "But she's a NAZI! Are you defending NAZIS? Why isn't it okay to mock NAZIS?"

Replace Nazi with troon and see how far he gets.

I feel like FYAD is right more often than not. Especially in the case of the Everest thread where it just ending up ballooning to 500 pages and devolved into people posting and laughing at the picture of that Canadian woman's dead body.

FYAD is full of threads mocking people. They only care when GBS does it. Tasteless humour is either OK or it isn't. It shouldn't be "OK when we do it".

FWIW, people are now complaining to Lowtax about the closure of the Everest thread.

Earlier in the week someone asked in GBS whether "antifa" was just the new term for anyone "conservatives" don't like. They asked that question without a hint of irony.

I wasn't going to bother posting about this, but Lowtax showed up again on this week's episode of The Dick Show. Dick and the guest host were gracious and professional but Lowtax was just dull. He explained in an incredulous tone that he was banned from Twitter "forever" (he made another account he's currently using, that's some serious censorship) for "threatening" Baked Alaska with a terrible "joke," then explained at length who Baked Alaska is (who gives a shit). And then he mentioned his most recent podcast had a lengthy detour into a serious discussion about why white supremacists are terrible. Wow, that's some brave, untapped territory you're exploring there in your comedy podcast, Richard. I can't wait to download!

Remember when Lowtax at least tried to be funny? People have been saying that for years but now it's true. Apparently there's no time left for jokes, he's got virtue signaling to do. Does he think this will help him pay his bills?
 
I don't even know what to think about this. Is...is this how they actually talk to each other? How does the Earth not fall in upon itself with that much smug in one spot? Also, it's hilarious that a goon talked with someone else about the lack of compassion in society considering their kind are the ones advocating violence against anyone who doesn't share their fucked view of the world.

TFW your website created to make fun of mentally ill sexual deviants is now run by them.

It's kind of shocking that you can be banned for telling an off color joke on the forum which birthed shitposting and chan culture.

Based on SS she most definitely remembers him, and happily shit-talks him.

I haven't been on SS for about a year now, I really should check in and see what I've missed there.

I suppose what I meant was more like, I don't think she's been personally attacking him or anything. I haven't heard about them having any contact since they were both here. He said himself that facebook had just suggested her as a friend, and that he declined.

However, he still decided to click her profile, cap a bunch of pics and quotes plus her gofundme and then make a thread about it. Some goons pointed out that was technically doxing by SA rules, but it was deemed okay because it was Lowtax doing it, and she's a Nazi. Reminds me of the Twitter thing with Maddox, where out of nowhere he started calling him a "bald toilet man" for reasons, or the Notch stuff.

Guess what I'm trying to say is: INB4 it was all a social experiment to find and weed the Nazi supporters out of SA or something.

EDIT: She seems to be on SA now and has posted a long ass thing on page 10 of her thread. It's insane, but I can't cap it on mobile...
