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

No, Void got banned by Lowtax after she said Taxie using his daughter in a piss take video on Schmorky was exploitative.

She then tried to start a Let's Players Rise Up movement that worked exactly as well as you think it might.
Thanks, might be thinking of someone else. Let’s Play is a big enough shitstorm that the names blend together.

I remember when the Rimworld let’s play was abruptly locked because of that one smear piece against the game by Rock Paper Shotgun. That was cute.
 
That concept as a whole is a dire misinterpretation, though. You only get the "default" avatar if you don't check either option to upload an avatar or go without one.
That hasn't been a thing for ages. The ability to change the avatar at all was removed a long time ago and since then pretty much everyone got a stupid newbie avatar as a result.

I remember having the option to pay for an av, or go without when I signed up. I guess I got in at a time when the stupid newbie av wasn't being stuck on new regs or something. There were many before me with it, and many after.

I know it was supposed to be annoying to "encourage" incoming goons to buy something they liked, because some people (myself included) would be perfectly fine with none at all and never bothered to buy one.
 
After all these years, FactsAreUseless finally gets an appropriate avatar.

No FAU you had power and abused it by being a little bitch. You resigned from the "pressure" of how to handle child abuse. I still dont see why FAU didnt just persma the troon mod and the abuser and tell the pearl cutching mod to fucking shut up or eat one.

It is because FAU wants to be popular with who he sees as the SA Cool Kids, FYAD and Imp Zone posters, who he didn't really understand. Thus, he was generally subject to what he thought would make him popular. Check his reversals sometimes.

No seriously, that is it.
 
lol what a sad faggot. Like this clique shit is important when you're 14. You're supposed to have grown out of it in your 30s. Also, nice meltdown.

I have bad news: clique thinking is behind how MeToo and cancel culture operate.

It's why there are suspiciously low consequences to being outed as a sex pest for the people with enough friends and connections.

EDIT: To give an example, it came out that one of the defendants in Weeb Wars is a wife beater who threatened harm against his ex's dog because she wouldn't pick him up in the car. The group trying to cancel Vic Mignogna proceeded to make excuses for him. It's always a cost-benefit analysis with these people.
 
I guess all the secret service calls to the forums have made the place a sort of "yeah, whatever" on the FBI's radar, the number of "I wish trump / his supporters / rando twitter personality was dead and I'd be happy to pull the trigger" posts over the last three years have been impressive

Wasn't there some rеtard who was making pipe bombs for some sort of attack on ICE or whatever brainlet activity, then lost the opportunity and had to deal with the bombs somehow, or am I misremembering that?
