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

[Peep Plops]

Holy shit the losers on SA have got to be the most hyper-sensitive pussies out there. Nothing but histrionic tranny faggots getting upset at bad words and permanently unemployed neets who are convinced they're somehow superior to redditors because they paid 10 bucks to post on an irrelevant site. Jeffrey needs to burn it all down and then kill himself for being a colossal faggot who tried to buy internet friends with cryptofag money.

This is not reddit.

We cannot stress this enough. SA's culture paved the way for lesser (and frankly more inferior) copycats. Don't act like this is reddit because it is not.

This is the best one. How the fuck would you even tell an SA post from a Reddit post in 2023 anyway? The only way SA and Reddit differ is that Reddit still gets in the news now and then. This is like someone in the cancer ward saying "this isn't the AIDS ward".

Dont import offsite drama, "wah wah jeff jeff this poster knows about kiwi farms"

I want someone to argue that as all politics happens off-site and is done by catty bitches it counts as off-site drama and should be banned.

Like its the funniest thing, as I said earlier goons seethe over reddit because its basically just looking into a mirror, except Reddit manages the most basic task on earth in being slightly better than SA at least in the sense that its far more popular if nothing else. They are still both dumpy shitholes with way too many troons, overbearing moderation and the most obnoxious cringey nerd culture you can ask for with associated drama.

The only thing they have to fall back on is a completely unearned sense of superiority, there's absolutely no possible way that I can honestly argue that SA 'culture' is better than Reddit anymore, at least back in 2004 SA genuinely did have impact on the wider culture of the internet and often was a breeding ground of cool creative projects. What do goons even have to point to if they want to argue how great the site is in 2023? What's the big draw exactly that you can't get on Reddit, for free with more people?

SA, along with places like ResetERA and other woke hug boxes, have this siege mentality that all other websites are full of Nazis and you're somehow not physically safe if you post there. Whereas of course the entire mainstream internet is basically the same, and all dissenting opinions have long since been banished to raise ESG scores and let the executives loot their companies by issuing IPOs for their loss-making hellsites and running away before the investors learn they've been sold a pup.

The owners and moderators of these places of course encourage this mentality so that the inmates will want to stay in the asylum long enough to let them cash out. It's like the Bretheren or other cults who convince their members that the outside world is wicked and corrupt and the only way to keep your soul pure is to avoid all contact with the outside world and only associate with other members of the cult. This enables the elders, who all know it's bullshit, to take all their money, make them work for free, and groom brainwashed kids who have nowhere to turn to.

In fact as I write it, I realise that this analogy is so on the nose that it stops being an analogy and just becomes a description of what is happening.

SA is a cult.

Don't make pedophilia jokes. Do not accuse other posters of being pedophiles. If you suspect that a poster is one, contact a mod/admin immediately.

"Hello, Fox? I'd like to report something in the henhouse?"

Don't make pedophilia jokes. Do not accuse other posters of being pedophiles. If you suspect that a poster is one, contact a mod/admin immediately - so they can swap pics and cover tracks.

WE ARE BETTER DEADER THAN REDDIT

Truer words have never been spoken.

 

[The Great Citracett]

Good old SA.

The forum that endlessly patted itself on the back over the takedown of r/jailbait, and claimed credit for coining the term "predditor" while at the same time being the home of MODS KNEW, "You DID NOT suspect Jimmy Savile of being a pedo, NOBODY did, you can NEVER TELL, and it's a ban if you say otherwise," and being the origin point and namer of internet troons, among other such things.

Do they really claim the predditor thing? That one can be found in the 4plebs /pol/ archive. It's guaranteed to pre-date any SA post containing the word.

Some of the goons did at least. But then again they also liked to pretend they basically did the whole jailbait takedown by themselves when there were other sites and groups involved. Wouldn't surprise me if they just lifted it from somewhere else.

 

[AnOminous]

"You DID NOT suspect Jimmy Savile of being a pedo, NOBODY did, you can NEVER TELL, and it's a ban if you say otherwise,"

Absolute bullshit. Lots of people accused him of that, but the government-controlled BBC and most mainstream news outlets deliberately ignored it, or retaliated against the people saying it, or in the case of John Lydon saying it, made it a "ha ha look what the funny kooky guy said" story.

Gee almost sort of like what happens when you call troons (or SA mods but I repeat myself) child groomers.

That's the bizarre part I remember most about the Jimmy Savile Megathread that started when his pedo shit all came to light.

The thing that seemed to piss off the mods most wasn't Savile's deeds, it was all the Britgoons talking about how something always just seemed "off" about the guy.

I don't remember which mod it was, but one popped into the thread to make clear that "NO, you DID NOT suspect him, NOBODY DID, there's NO way you could have, and from here on, anyone saying so is gone."

Just a fucking odd thing to do in that thread. Felt like major projection for the staff's handling of the whole Aatrek thing really.

The only reason I even know who that guy was is because of the SA thread.

It's clear he was being protected because he could name names. Once he was dead it was all allowed to come put.

I guess I stopped reading the thread when some mod did that.

Aatrek was weird fucker kept probating me but he banned all talk of my little pony thus keeping the bronies out.

 

[White Devil]

I think the Aatrek thing dropping is one of my favorite post Tumblr cancer SA things. Just went to prove how actually shitty the mods are.

So many atrocities of history started with goyi cis people noticing things

Read: Created a troony echochamber offsite that still exists to this day. I wonder how many lives it's claimed...
Was it a "poorly aged" reason ("Bronies are fucking faggs") or because MLP was originally 4chan culture and thus verboten?

From memory it was mostly "You're getting too fucking weird over a children's cartoon" and some lingering sentiments that furries were still acceptable targets.

Same reason anime was banned outside of the anime forum.
Bronies let that shit take over their lives and infest their speech if you don't severely and immediately shut shit down. The main issue was Bronies are just fucking creepers too, being it wasn't just a children's cartoon they obsess over but there was lots of ponysona insert porn, which was disturbing because there was a lot of rape and violence S&M and made even worse by the fact the main characters of the cartoon were ... clearly not intended to be full adults.

Aatrek just didn't want the attention a bunch of cartoon-obsessed violent-rape happy cryptopedos hanging around would attract.

 

[The Grognard]

Substantial proportion of these Ponygoons also ended up trooning out down the road as well. Take that as you will. At least the weebs of Badgame ended up being the only real remnant of original SA culture but then again, they detached from the rest of SA almost completely in 2011.
