Regarding FUA s post he never addressed the baning for political views and when he says he doesnt care anymore i think thats a sign he needs to step down. aka he s burnt out.

He should seppuku for taking SA so damn seriously, and for being a faggot mod.
 
Pictured below is what must be the most hilarious Woke Olympics event I've seen in quite a while: MGS4 Gay Subtext Slapfight. To provide some context, the thread was discussing whether or not Adam and Eve from the videogame Nier: Automata (two male robots who are basically brothers) are gay and fucked because one is named Adam and the other is named Eve. This initial catfight spiraled into an argument about whether it was more woke to read gay subtext into Ocelot and Solid Snake's characters in Metal Gear Solid 4 or whether it was bigoted to automatically assume two men living together taking care of a little girl were gay.

Bonus points from the judges to another Goon who posts a passive-aggressive bingo card with such amazing terms as "the straights" to determine if a piece of media is gay with a massive wall of text in the middle of the free space.

My favorite thing about goon slapfights is that they argue like middle school goth kids. Both sides of the argument want desperately to be seen as not caring but still participating in an argument so you see the stereotypical phrases like "hot takes" or the lack of punctuation and one sentence replies, but you can tell on the inside they are absolutely triggered.

Agreed, in 2008 things were already going down the drain as Cat-Lady Modship was in full swing, but you could still post wrong-think and make fun of low-effort trannies. The tankie mods in D&D had to be a little circumspect in enforcing Maoist doctrine and couldn't out-right ban you for being a white and/or a class traitor - they had to put in the effort to puff up another reason, or bait you into modsass; not a lot of work, but some work.

In this environment, you're a conservative, you toxx for McCain, get banned, and see no reason to spend :thetenbux: to re-register and go deal with the triumphant crowing of said insufferables and being told by unemployed sadbrains what was and was not a good post.

Even if all the McCain posters hadn't been banned, its very unlikely that it would have stopped SA from ending up becoming the tranny hugbox it is now, populated by the kind of people it used to make fun of, but I think that the 2008 Toxx and the non-commie, non-tranny posters it drove off was the moment that decline became irreversible.



I don't really count the Romney Toxx. In 2012, making aRomney Toxx was an excuse. It was just a Banme for someone who couldn't be bothered to think up something clever. (Or didn't want to take selfies while they ate their own cum mixed with keyboard gunk.)

It's funny being around for this kind of thing then seeing goons re-litigate history and change what actually happened.

Yet another person blaming GBS 2.0 on the sites downfall. When Ozma was deposed and people were allowed to have real opinions, this was actually now not just Ozma leaving and her cat lady era ending it was a conscious attempt by Lowtax to court evil Transphobic Chuds and the Alt-Right, almost ten years before either term had any meaning.

I see this shit everywhere. Different triggered goons explaining how the great butthurt they felt in 2013 was the start of the universe unraveling. They are unable to ever get over it and they will never realize that was the last chance the forum had of becoming someplace people would want to visit. Instead the screeching of the fucking internet mutants was so loud and lowtax was so lazy the idea was completely abandoned and blamed for all problems, past present and future.

By 2013 or whenever it was that Ozma (fat) finally got deposed, SA was too far gone. Nothing short of a miracle would have reversed the decline.

Well yeah. The forum being so far gone is why the attempted shift toward a normal posting environment for a month or two apparently completely damaged these people for the rest of their lives. That's who is left, that is the community now. People so enraged and upset by other people having opinions they now have PTSD and can't move on.

Anyone know anything about Endorph? I've dug through his (I assume) post history before and he just screams troon to me but I haven't been able to confirm it. He's definitely a weirdo who posts a LOT about trans*, and mostly in the anime forum. Said forum is ripe for lolharvesting if this thread hasn't looked through it btw
 
Christ, he's such an amazing pussy. Ignores anything he can't handle, whimpers and weeps at the first sign of pee oooh ceee backlash.

What a nigger.
 
So SA now officially has different forum rules for black people.

Something something horseshoe theory something something separate but equal.

Seeing as how the mods keep purdging people shouldnt the goons feel safer and safer which each wrong think ban?

Why do they keep arguing about shit from 6 years ago.
Click to expand...

When you live your life to be perpetually upset and outraged you can never rest and feel satisfaction like that. Sure you and ten other professional victims may have ganged up, spammed reports and shit all over every thread a "Trump Supporter" posted in until the faggot admins permabanned them out of frustration to try and stop the bullshit but look over there, someone else said that Bush was worse than Trump. Nazis never end.

That's why the probations/bans get funnier each year. They have been grasping for years desperate to find wrongthink to eliminate so it's down to people that aren't even doing anything that goons can become outraged at.

I think their end goal is that the forum should have two people. One mod and one regular poster to be punished.
 
It's interesting to see someone in the journalism industry admit it's all doubling down on everything no matter what. The fact that he doesn't seem to see the real problem there, of course, kinda sucks. Namely, he's the one bringing all the toxicity and bad faith.

The name "Facts are useless" makes way more sense in that context. He drank the kool-aid, but he knows it's fucking poison. He just doesn't know any other way, so he keeps drinking it and complaining that his stomach hurts.

OK OK the analogy got away from me a bit...
 
Will FUA now require posters to upload 23andMe report in order to see which cuss words you are allowed to say or not?
 
I seem to recall that a poster uploaded a picture of himself sarcastically doing the paper bag test in response to Koala's March saying that she didn't believe he was black because he had an opinion that was different to hers.

"Prove what race you are so that I can judge you" - someone who regularly accuses other people of being Nazis.
