I tried reading the forums, every nerd topic couldn't keep a steady pace of discussion without some retard chiming in on how all nerds are awful women lusters who hurt women except the enlightened few on SA who would gladly carry the printer for milady no matter how many nautical miles it takes.

And cops, cops are bad if not worse than nerds.
 
I just caught up on all the FYAD shit this week and fucking lol. As if a dozen people who barely ever post outside their forum making off-colour jokes is a bigger threat to the physical safety of the troons on SA than is their desire to pump themselves full of hormones and cut off their own dicks

Also the 'yad boys got up their own ass sometimes but they also produced some really funny stuff

Duncan was maybe the funniest poster I've seen

RIP
 
Imagine an angry man sitting in a corner talking to himself about how he hates everyone, also the man is wearing a rainbow skirt, and he thinks he should be in charge of the world.
 
I've only recently started following this thread and I gotta say, while usually it's meant as a shitpost these troons can genuinely only be described as cancer, with how this whole thing has been developing.

Thats pretty accurate. I don't know when it started, but I noticed it like 4 years or so ago. More than a handful of posters that I had played games with started transitioning, and it sort of formed a sub-community within the community we already had. More and more people turned trans, and more and more of the normal people just started to leave.

I remember the last straw for me was when in discord for some game, some dude with like a Barry White deep voice said "Uh excuse me, this is PMush, can you please use female pronouns?" Can you use a female voice?

I love that they keep saying "The Mod team is so awesome" as the closer to their weepy "Bah gawd the moderation has sucked so bad and this is the final straw and I'm fucking gone because they are Nazi regressive shitlord racist rape-bros who aren't doing enough to police language on this comedy forum.".

I wonder if the real impetus behind the troon takeover is that Lowtax's revenue was stagnating from the lack of new users, so when crowdfunding failed he let the loony troons ban people to cause a bunch of re-registrations.

Crowd funding didn't fail though. Nigga still making a gross of $120,000; sure that probably looks more like $50,000 after you squeal for the IRS, but SA is still self-funding and turning a profit.

I think people have suggested the real reason, which is FYAD hadn't sucked LowT's dick in quite some time. They were also the source for a bunch of work for Lowtax where they forced high-quality mods to stepdown, like the guy who's ok with China killing muslims and the literal child molester.

It could be pointed out that it's not FYAD funding lowtax's patreon, its the remaining cucked out posters and possibly a few trannies, but I doubt that calculus ever entered into Lowtax's pill-addled brain.

Oh this is bullshit. The Photoshop people left cause you can't make a joke without being banned for wrong speak. Comedy is about pushing boundaries / mocking those in power and you can't do that with a forever growing list of people you can't talk /"punch down" to.

In addition to being unable to make any jokes. Photoshoppers also left because they were funnier and more well liked by the mods, and thus were undermined by the small-dick & catlady mods at every turn. Why put time and effort into making something when some mod's pet toady can spam & derail your thread with "COPS ARE MURDERERS!" or some other tranny left nonesense and get zero consequences.

Unless they are implying that Ozma, who oversaw the irreversible death of SA, was some sort of Nazi cat-fuhrer. Because LOL.

Ozma (Nazi)

That guy literally is Turtlicious. Proof:

Steam Community :: Error

steamcommunity.com steamcommunity.com

And, in a sad end to this saga, the admins let him back in on his third account.

Here at Something Awful we make sure to ban/permaban anyone that criticizes Zoe Quinn, speaks positively of Trump, Criticizes the admins favorite posters, says "SJW" or "Virtue Signaling," points out scientific concepts like gender dysphoria or mental illness related gender issues or commits any one of a trillion microaggressions against the moderators.

Making veiled bomb threats and claiming you will be "Making headlines" in the age of mass shooters? That's fine.

I remember the Troon Beauty Pageant on Sose, and how at least one contestant had committed suicide, and many others seemed headed towards the same outcome.
At the time I thought that we had reached peak troon, and any goons flirting with gender fuckery might be scared away from it after seeing just how bizarrely insane, self-destructive, and reality-defying narcissistic the more prominent members of the SA troon community were perceived to be by the outside, non indoctroonated world. But what's sanity, well-being, or functional sex organs got to offer when balanced against the goodwill of the enlightened goonmob, or potential progressive victim-cred?
 
I've started a one man gay op on SA recently since all this drama is in the air. I've started to post from my old ass account, and pushing the envelope on culture wars shit a bit here and there since I don't mind eating a perma. Bets on how many posts until I get wrongthink'd?

Hide yo powerlevel my nigguh, mods do look here and they are very bored individuals who might try to figure out the connection. But if you were a clever boy you just saw somebody you didn't like and stated this here to set them up, because honestly the mods at SA would fall for this ruse. Even with me stating it's a possibility.

That's the great thing about this conversation, it makes them paranoid without anybody having to actually touch their forum.

I'm waiting on somebody to mentions this type of stuff in QCS as well, if it's opened up again. Like do they really believe us when we post about trolling them on their own forum with our sleeper accounts? SA should probably make their trans posters prove they are trans to avoid situations like this, it'd at least make it harder for the mean ol' farmers to troll them.

Sowing doubt is awfully easy on a forum like SA, and the cracks in the foundation just got awfully bigger this week.

I mean the whole reason I decided to do it is that it's easy as hell to hide in plain sight. I'm far from the only poster matching that desc, there's a dozen of them in QCS alone, and even goonmods aren't going to start swinging without any evidence (unlike the userbase). I hate having to write like a retard to send the correct signals though, it feels so effeminate and fake.

Oh I'm sure, I just saw a good chance to play 4D chess with the goons. They use to be fun to play games with after all.

Poe’s Law now applies to the extreme left on SA as much as it ever did to the extreme right or fundie religious factions in the past.

Claiming to be a troon gives you carte blanche to troll the fuck out of them with absurd inanities and if a mod tries to grow a spine and ban you the troon army will melt the fuck down and claim you are transphobic and literally killing trans ppl by denying them their only support system.

It’s quite fun and if you happen to have an old sock account from 2012-2017 you are virtually undetectable.

Mine is so ancient I'd probably stick out like a sore thumb. Reason I think my only true option is seppuku.

Role playing as the mentally ill is a bridge too far for me. Besides, trannies get dragged just like everyone else when it comes to ideology, they has have the freedom to strike upwards with impunity as long as they stay in the correct ideological lane.

My original account hasn’t posted in a decade so I’m saving it for something worthwhile because it would be obvious. But after the hell dump massacre I created and was given access to a few sock accounts, good long term character build accounts. No one even noticed my cat lady account magically became a MTF living with abusive transphobe family.

I do occasionally see old reg date accounts but I don’t recognize any of the screen names associated with them. They truly chased off every worthwhile poster many years ago. The only place I recognize some old SA posters is via Lowtax’s FB. Lowtax has way more old SA posters on his FB (including myself thanks to FB allowing Troons to use whatever name they want) than on his forums. This was even more true of his twitter account before it was nuked.

Too bad genesplicer AKA Walt Owen of Riverside United School District isn't stepping down.

And not a bad wage for a middle school teacher, $156,528.00. His wife, Sheila M Singleton-Owen, made $136,880.00 at Beaumont Unified. Almost $300,000 for poor, underpaid, school teachers from Banning CA.
