Something Awful and Friends - The roller-coaster train-wreck embarrassing downfall of a Web 1.0 giant and its tick offspring like from Cloverfield

or the cps people abusing their own kids, but they know how to get away with it

 

[TiggerNits]

lmao i remember this dude throwing a tantrum in the dayz and griefing threads because people were posting about trolling kids, he came in shrieking about how bullying kids in games is child abuse and that he should know it when he sees it because he works for CPS

This reminds me of a dude that moderates the DCS reddit board "hoggit" and the insanely gay discord message he made when people were ragging on some idiot teenagers for asking a lot of admittedly dumb questions

I got banned for saying "the stepdad seems cool. I wish he posted here instead"

I would like to hear how exactly The Boomers™ have fucked up the earth forever and ever, because all I ever hear is "they killed the earth!" even though the world hasn't stopped turning.

I've seen this archetype in many Something Awful users. I've also seen it in users on other websites, but it seems particularly prevalent on Something Awful in particular. The key thought process of this archetype is "because some are, all are," and you've probably read posts like these, too.

"Because some women reject me, all women reject me." "Because some boomers have hurt the economy, all boomers hurt the economy." "Because some men make fun of me, all men make fun of me." They then use this line of thinking to say something absolutely abhorrent, if not just insanely stupid. What's worst of all is that I'll seldom see people condemn these lunatics, with a few even applauding them with varying levels of genuineness. Perhaps that's why this idiotic mindset is so prevalent among Something Awful. Nuances or gradation doesn't exist, you're either part of a universally identical category, or you're not.

Didja know "All or Nothing" thought tends to be a symptom of some personality disorders?

 

[Affluent Reptilian]

It's rigid thinking characteristic of authoritarian mindsets. This has wrongly been identified with the right because post-WW2 the obsession was with pathologising things that could lead to 'Nazism', but it's quite common on both sides of politics, as Something Awful illustrates.

 

[Leonard Helplessness]

Nuances or gradation doesn't exist, you're either part of a universally identical category, or you're not.

It’s a way of cultivating an us-vs-them mentality, which humans are perilously susceptible to because human history is defined mostly by war and genocide and we‘re all descended from the “us” who mass-murdered and mass-raped “them.”

It is extremely easy to control people who think one-dimensionally, and it is just as easy to get people to start thinking that way. Give people an excuse to hate* other people and you can get them to do literally anything, including killing themselves and others. It’s a very useful human trait to take advantage of if you’re trying to create a mob, or a sect, or a movement, or an army.

*I’ve noticed that a large proportion of leftists and affiliated types who claim to be fighting hate do not actually know what hate is. Hate is not a hand gesture. Hate is not a symbol. Hate is not a piece of headwear. Hate is not a race, or a gender, or an identity. Hate is an attitude and if you’re trying to destroy hate by destroying people who wear a particular hat, then your own hate is fucking with your perceptions and you probably need to wake the fuck up before you end up murdering somebody.

i've noticed that people who in the goon forums who were making fun of trannies a year or two ago are now full on troon with hormons and everything. is it infectious? I'm thinking users of SA should be more concered about that than the kung flu

People who live a lie will quell their own doubts by continually recruiting other people into that lie. Troons fucking love gaslighting people into their cult.

"Your neck's sensitive sometimes? That's dysphoria and you should start hormones."
"You sometimes play female characters in video games? Deffo a girl in denial, educate yourself."
"You cried once at a movie? You might actually be a woman, check your PMs your egg might be starting to crack."

Hi, we're -er- a normal political subforum that's eternally threatening suicide over DRUMPF unchecked






Knowing Al, he actually IS telling you to do a flip in the last couple shots, but I'm sure everyone knows by now SHM won't actually kill himself due to the fact he still clings onto his SRS "power", let alone the fact it's his backup forum when CSPAM dies/tells him to go away




If you hear terms like "nothing matters crew", this is what they're referring to, i.e. goons that think suicide is the answer to things like a 10-15 min. commute in the name of capitalism causing their underperformance



While WE LIVE IN A GERIATRIC SOCIETY, just lmao that this is just barely the tip of the Biden suicide crew in 2020



"Hey guys, how do I add insurance fraud on top of everything else my wife has to deal with after I off myself because Bernie?", did this guy eat his ban for it?

Ah




Chokes is the OP of the CSPAM mental health thread, and even without reading it, at this point you can guess it's not where people post to get help, but to vent and show-off how fucked they are, and with this being the thread IK, why the fuck would it be any way else? I keep wondering what kind of shitpiece thinks that an insurance payout is gonna soothe their spouse after dying, but then I start to think said shitpiece is probably freeing their spouse from 24/7 politix suicide-baiting

Speaking of the CSPAM mental health thread...



I don't know about any of you, but even in my most miserable moments, my thought process for glancing at a kid in Kohls wasn't immediately "welp, I'm a pedo"




tl;dr A BIG FUCKEN HORNET!!! can't look at any form of media ever without wanting to do a flip, and believes that college was the only time where his brainworms was manageable because it was a hugbox, unlike modern victim-blaming therapy and/or because he's so fried that modern meds don't work. Did I mention he has a daughter? And was RAISED BY NARCISSISTS? His evil parents that want nothing but his death so they can steal his daughter, which I'm sure has nothing to do with the fact his mentality is currently: 10k+ posts over a handful of Trump threads and threatens suicide irl as well. Did I mention TRAILER PARK DAD SURROUNDED BY CHUDS!? FEEL BAD FOR ME??!!!??? GIVE ME SMARXIST MONEY!??!?

I hope your dad holds you hostage again but this time /w the state so your daughter has a shot at something resembling a normal life, fuck you and log off



Hey dudes, too unhinged to legally own guns lmao, BPD owns!



If D&D is the daddy issues forum, CSPAM might be able to gain status as the mommy issues one, without clicking post history, what sex do you think tacodaemon used to be?




MOTHER!



Bernie-or-suicide posting isn't only unironic, but encouraged! And holy fuck there's just too much to screencap if that's the subject you wanna settle on



"Can't read CSPAM at work, lol wanna kys rn"




What kind of job does the average CSPAM poster think they deserve anyway? How do they think every other not-fucked up person in retail survives without killing themself? Do you actually think retail is the reason you're a sadsack who needs thousands of posts in rotating Trump thread to survive?




We've also got climate doomers too, and rest assured Jose, SA would somehow survive without you, it's okay!



Crotchspawn? NO THANK YOU, also "I have a uterus" instead of "I'm a woman", you weren't getting laid with anything containing semen to start with

The thing about suicidal CSPAM posters is that it should be assumed 100% they're lying about their circumstances, and when you see posts like COPS USED ILLEGAL WWE MOVES TO FORCE ME NEUROTYPICAL, it further takes away the fragments of sympathy you have. Assuming this actually happened 100% as described (lol), he's probably leaving out the big timeframe between "PA calls the cops" and "who show up", how did you answer those questions?



"Welp, addiction runs in my family, time to see if mixing shrooms and Zoloft helps", what's with all the CSPAM alcoholics anyway? This is a running theme

*guy with avatar of fathers day gift from his young children* "Hey guys, I know you get this a lot, but does offing myself get insurance for my family? Drumpf and computer janny positions are hard", aka ANOTHER recurring theme, do you think insurance companies somehow aren't trained to investigate George Bailey attempts?



There are people waiting in line who AREN'T fucked-up because they whine about Trump 24/7 and blame literally everything right of Mao for their problems, I'd tell you fuck off too, even without having a sample of your posting history. Given your boomer remove posts, I'd probably also tell your parents to change their locks, just in case you decide to accelerate your suicide

"Meh, blowing my brains out, w/e, it's not like I've watched Dyne jumping off a cliff a hundred times, or Celes in VI? HELLO?"







That's about all I can take for a day, but you can factually state CSPAM is nothing but a forum full of hostile r3tards who are on the brink of a murder/suicide because praxis accomplishes jack and shit in their lives, and to top it off - normal people are happy and surviving! That's the clincher, these people can't stand seeing people happy in a world they're convinced is doomed, especially since they themselves are terminally miserable for reasons they're 100% amplifying by eternal Trump caring, you can be sure that FYAD was in the crosshairs primarily because of this mentality

These are the people that mods not only consult for sweeping forum changes, but protect and give passes to, there are zero of the usual ban+30's for the unending suicide-baiters, QCS is starting to notice, and mods are running out of damage control options that are "close the thread", see: Evilweasel getting blammed because he had the audacity to bite back at a CSPAM gaywad

Hi, we're -er- a normal political subforum that's eternally threatening suicide over DRUMPF unchecked

It is a law of physics that the more one of these absolutely toxic, insane cunts threaten to kill themselves, the less likely they actually will.

 

[Fatal Cardiac Infarction]

I highly encourage anyone considering suicide to do it, and if possible, to do a flip.

I'm pretty sure it was more communism, post ww2...

Nazis and commies and other dead end ideological extremists can't conceive of their ludicrous beliefs actually being wrong and kill themselves when owned by reality. Well, at least the Nazis had the decency to do that. This current crop of weaklings doesn't.

 

[Affluent Reptilian]

I'm pretty sure it was more communism, post ww2...

No. Left-wing authoritarianism is comparatively understudied. The academy, and particularly psychology, leaning left gave that side of politics a pass for a long time.

 

[Next Task]

I don't know about any of you, but even in my most miserable moments, my thought process for glancing at a kid in Kohls wasn't immediately "welp, I'm a pedo"

Well, yeah, that's why it's considered a mental illness. It's not a logical thing to think, it's an unwanted thought, but it's there and all of a sudden it floods your brain. And then because you had the thought, the sufferer thinks it must mean something, like you're secretly this horrible monster - because why else would you think it? And commence spiral.

Comedian Maria Bamford explains it well, but the poster also does, I think. It certainly stood out among all the other posts from people suggesting suicide as a response to everything - this was someone trying to help, based on their own experience with mental illness.

It's good that you showed how it's such a pattern with these people, because most of those without context you couldn't tell if it was just hyperbole, kidding, kidding on the square, an honest reaction, or bait. But as you see them say it more and more often, the truth drops off from those earlier options and starts being definitely one of the last two.

Places like SA know how to take my natural inclination towards sympathy for those who are depressed and struggling and push it towards wanting these constant moaners and downers to just fuck off and do it already. Depressed people who aren't narcissists often worry about how being honest about their feelings negatively impacts the people around them; unsurprisingly, few of the remaining goons seem to have that concern.

 

[Manah]

I don't have an SA account so I can't screenshot it but the latest funny thing to come from TGRS.

Fluffdaddy got a redtext avatar (someone paid $10 for something he can undo for free lol) of Joe Biden sniffing a woman with this caption:

Whoever bought Fluffdaddy that Joe Biden avatar is fragile as fuck.

That's a pretty wild thing to say in defense of the living embodiment of cishet fragility.

I've let a lot of mod sass go because it's a sensitive time, but come at me again and I will probe you.

Followed by a few goons getting probated for it, and then someone else showing how above they are by donating $10 to some charity fluffdaddy had stickied.

Too bad the nazis won. This is funny and all but the insane shit people like site posted before the purge was way better.

To play devil's advocate, it's entirely possible they don't act like that IRL. Depressed people generally don't want to bring other people down, but venting online is usually free from that.
