I am an indie game dev and I had to completely give up on using the game dev general because I posted progress there two or three times, just some texturing work for my character models. Some guy started reposting my work regularly and pretending to be me, harassing every other user, making my project just dead in the water on there. Apparently it leaked into the associated discord too, although I never used it. Stopped going there 2 years ago because of it, I wonder if they're still doing it. I never posted anything besides those progress posts so I have no idea what set the schizo off.
vg is absolutely atrocious all it is people being straight up wrong and sperging out at people not having their shitty opinions or being the biggest goon troons for the shittiest of fucking games.

I think every board had a few people like this. s/o/viet, prez/o/, and "based" parlance poster come to mind. Any decent discussion would get derailed, anyone posting good content would get ran off with janny endorsement.
I'll never forget the time an anon found an original GM dealer tech terminal from the 90s, and some faggot janny deleted the thread after 60 posts or so

I think it's just extreme jealousy. Most of the posts were about seething over successful games, too.
