Honestly, I think troons like to go to old communities that slowly die because they can create a new nest where they can't get "opresed". YTP, Touhou and speedrunning are pretty dead communities, least for the couple of groups of oldfags that are active.
Yeah, most of that related stuff in general was basically kaput around 2013-2015.
It was only really when a lot of these newfags started sixth grade / secondary school that the troon shit really came rolling in, presumably as a result of the autistic twats joining forums around 2014 and 2016 (not so much 2015 however), though by the end of 2016 they had all migrated off to Reddit and Discord and being exposed to Tumblr (which later of course became Twitter) culture shit. To be fair, I myself had GDish thoughts around early 2016 which I guess were AGP induced all along.
I've been about the weird side of the net since I was 9, that was in the middle of 2010, I was already about two years older when Discord started to migrate everyone away from boards: I was personally opposed to using it for anything serious, thinking it would simply go down the pan due to some scandal in a year or two's time (which ironically sort of proved to be true, but unfortunately everyone still sucks the platform's furcoated estrogen induced dick).
This is just my experience, my first experiences around forums were centred around ROM hacking and emulation topics, since I just happened to be hugely interested in that stuff.
Now though I don't even feel like I can publicly acknowledge the mere existence of something without feeling like I'm gonna end up drawing some kind of troon's (or their allies') attention from those spaces I mentioned, not really the kind of audience I wish to ever attract.
I am so tempted to start running a message board that basically encompasses the topics that have been trooned up most (mainly retro games/PCs and old internet culture) and goes out of its way to throw out posers. IMO the last valid people were a tiny fraction of those born before mid 2002 and that's really pushing boundaries, most people between 96-02 subscribe to wokeshit it seems and I am sick to the bollocks of it, so.
(For reference, stupid as it sounds, I'm the complete faggot known as
@Tsuka Hiira aka Jamie Dignam, formerly. I wish I didn't have to do this because I actually like posting here, but I'm fine with powerlevelling to fuck and shoving any form of reputation down the shitter if it means simply being openly honest finally.)
