Can we get a section for the Opie and Anthony community refugees? - A community so dedicated to aspergery, we got Reddit to change its ToS

[Carcinogenesis]

It'd be an interesting precedent for KF to take in displaced communities. I think it's a cool idea, lolcows can get boring en masse and we already have a ton of general topic boards anyway. I listen to WATP so I have decent familiarity with Opie too.

KF is basically the hub for Weeb Wars sperging anyway, and this is a way better idea than that.

There's always a reason why these communities become displaced in the first place. It's why places like Gab are so awful when it comes to community, only those with extreme enough views wind up there as nobody is willing to put up with them. If KF took in such communities, it'll just wreak havoc on the community as you're essentially inviting a whole bunch of potentially insane people to post. The only way for such a thing to work is to be very selective over which communities are allowed and would require more moderation than usual just in case choosing such a community was a bad idea. If members of a displaced community wish to join KF, they are free to join, but they shouldn't get any special treatment such as their own subforum.

If Redditors want a place for gayops they could always go cozy up with the feds on the corpse of 8ch.

 

[Single Action Army]

I am currently talking with one of the former subreddit admins (with an active O&A Youtube streaming channel) about gathering some people and making sure they understand the rules/culture of the Farms. Before we're ready to present our case to you, I want to clarify a couple things:

---
1) The sub NEVER advocated IRL-trolling in an official capacity. The worst accusation that you levied that was more or less encouraged was fucking with Anthony on Twitter, particularly because Anthony doxxed people who made fun of him for being fucked by a tranny and called their schools/businesses to try to get them kicked out. After the trouble we have gotten into with Reddit, admins and prominent users were AGAINST calling Joey Cum's venues for cancellation, review-bombing Fat Tomlinson's books, and the like.

- Moreover, no one from the sub showed up at Anthony's Barnes and Nobel book signing. Those who did were a couple of fat ANTIFA-type leftists who heard Anthony Cumia was some sort of Nazi because he got fired for being a racist. Of course we laughed our asses off at this, but these people found out about the signing through Twitter and Facebook and acted independent of us. Other than that, I don't know any instances of anyone ever fucking with them IRL.

2) It's a hatedom and a fandom. Yes we would love to keep posting vids and photoshops of the associated cows, but we'd also like to discuss the episodes of the old show that we liked. There's currently no official place for that at the moment, as the current Reddit is locked for admin OPs only.

3) Yes, it was a subreddit, but none of us were typical "yikes, oof, gonald blumf, thanks for the gold!"-type Redditors who would be against the culture here. The Kiwi Farms specifically popped into my head because I thought it would be a great fit. Lots of mostly right-leaning people who just enjoy shitposting. I say boomers as a joke, but the majority of O&A fans left online are in their 20s/30s.

4) There are more than just Ant and Joe that are ripe cows that non-fans would find largely entertaining. Opie, Jim Norton, Sam Roberts, Scorch, Bobo, Sherrod Small, Carl Ruiz (RIP), Stuttering John, Beetlejuice, Lady Di, Twitchels, and those are just the primarily-related characters.
---

It looks like the consensus is somewhere between mixed and against, so if either Null or the community doesn't want us, that's cool, but I'd like you to at least hear what the old admins have to say first and understand that these people are a lot like Farms posters.

 

[Lick Joe]

I'm still just a faggot newbie here but even I think a new section devoted to this is unnecessary. Ant already has a thread, and if I wanted to go talk about say, Sue Lightning, there's places like the porncow thread to post in.

It is pretty damn hilarious all of this Reddit drama got up to this point. Shame some of the juicier stuff from the high point of all the shit is lost speaking from an observer's pov (though at least most was archived).

 

[Hank Scorpio]

I have only barely heard of this shit before, just use the damn threads for them already or make your own. If it gets traction, then whatever, cool. Otherwise they don't deserve any special treatment just because it's some ancient-ass radio show that no longer exists and they were exceptional enough to get nuked by Reddit.

I dunno. This all seems to check out. I just have to ask: what do you think about the nation of Israel? Also your thoughts on the People's Republic of China?

 

[Syaoran Li]

Eh, I always listened to either Bob & Tom or John Boy & Billy whenever I wanted to get my fix for morning radio shock jocks, never really listened to Opie & Anthony all that much.

But I'm not opposed to an Opie & Anthony sub-forum, at least not in and of itself. As much as people like to rag on Weeb Wars, it got its own forum because the original thread grew too big too quickly and to be honest, I'm of the opinion that the majority of the best content in 2019 on the Farms largely dealt with the Weeb Wars or Yaniv (save for a few exceptions like Null telling the New Zealand government to fuck off)

However, following the example of the Weeb Wars, I think a Community Watch thread should do for now and if there's enough potential, then a proper sub-forum.

 

[DidYouJustSayThat]

This has been suggested before, didn't see an answer, so raising it again - why not move to voat? r/fatpeoplehate refugees seem happy there.

It's not even that nobody wants you here. Nobody gives a fuck about you or the people from these sub-reddits personally. There's literally nothing preventing you or anyone else from registering and establishing yourselves in the threads that already exist. That's the issue here. The gatekeeping you're trying to imply isn't there.

You came here asking for a whole new board to be made on the promise significant user content that has yet to provided (if it's even of value at all). It's something you should have been prepared to show to everyone in the first place. I'm not sure what kind of positive reception you were hoping for when you came here with literally fucking nothing.

Spitballing potential threads and new cows is a lot different from actually being able to create and support the content within them; and coming here empty-handed already demonstrates a lack of understanding of how things generally function on the farms. So far to me you haven't made a very compelling argument for not having your community lurk and assimilate like ever other group has done before.

 

[Begemot]

Sounds like OP is proposing some autistic EVE Online bullshit or something: "Our faction would like to join your faction as subordinates if we are given certain concessions. Our objectives are not at cross-purposes and there could be certain economic benefits to our joining as well."

Anyone who wants to can already make an account and post in threads that already exist. Anyone who wants to can already put together an OP and try to get a thread started. If shit's getting enough traffic and generating enough active interest that a seperate board is seen as appropriate then it will get one.
Just fucking make an account, start fucking posting funny shit. Stop acting like kicked puppies and asking for special privileges before you've fucking done anything.

Just go look at what it took for Tampon Boy to get a seperate board. Are you saying the O&A extended universe has that level of active interest or are you just going to repost a bunch of old shit and then it dies?

On a side note I belong to a certain Transformers community that has faced persecution at the hands of mean ol' bigoted internet lefties. If Jersh would provide a safe space for our group of illegal autonomous robotic weapons-platform manufacturing enthusiasts I'm sure some would feel generously inclined. Why with the amount we've spent on black-market ballistic missiles in the last year alone we could purchase a rogue nation.

Why would lefties hate transformer fans?

 

[Puck]

One thing to keep in mind is if null does this every time a bigish subreddit gets nixed they're old members will come here asking for their own subforum, after the OnA boomers it will be the cumbois and then on and on and on till the farms is just a big graveyard of old subreddits.

nigger what

Am I in bizzaro world? The majority of KF is already a bastion for displaced communities. Yaniv censors the news with court orders and blocks people on twitter? People come here to talk about the tampon lord. 8chan gets turned into a Q anon boomer farm? People come here to talk about bloodsports. Christchurch happens? People come here to torrent the video and discuss it without censorship. Amber deletes another video? Foodie beautie censors her comment section? Lemoine protects his tweets? Lowtax turns somethingawful into troon town? Dlive dies and someone want to know what happened? Guess where these people come to talk, you mental midgets? They invade your precious community. In fact, j-unit has talked on stream on multiple occasions about how censorship events have lead to noticeable boosts in new users.

The whole reason your ethnically pure website even exists in its current form is because salty retards kept displacing it. It's not like jewsh has to keep doing increasingly expensive and ridiculously things to keep this place running because its fun.

This place is also literally the defacto podium for people with extreme views. The word edgy is synonymous with this place due to its freespech direction. To act like some stupid subreddit that pokes fun at degenerate radio boomers is somehow crazier than this place is laughable. That's totally worse than the forums dedicated to exposing pedophiles, animal torturers and marz gurls freakishly long arms. Give me a break.

You're all a bunch of puritan fags. This retarded "we're better than them" mentality is the kiwifarms equivalent of twitter asspatting. I'd bet my aunts cousins third testicle that most of the people you interact with here on a daily basis were once from a place like reddit. I'd also bet that a ton of you actively use the services you claim to hate so much.

Also, the whole angle of ruining the community is some of the most half-baked shit I've ever heard. People that cause trouble have always gotten banned. How is this even a issue? If you don't fit in then you get thrown the fuck out. Since when is this news? Since when is moderation even your concern in the first place? You guys are the kiwi equivalent of somethingawfuls trannies. Instead of trying to boot people out, though, you're trying to keep the scary new guise from getting in. Based.

The big bad kiwis are afraid of some grandpas from reddit that want to shitpost about their silly old radio shows. lul.

I don't know much about the oa reddit (aside from what I learned from those documentaries) but I don't see what harm can come from giving them a street to shit on as a trial run. If they fuck up then a moderator just nukes the forum from orbit. Then everyone else gets to peck at the remains of all the spergs that failed to blend in. Everyone wins.

Anyway, with all due respect, please kill yourselves. Cliques are gay and I hope you all get cluwne'd.

Thanks for the mad at the internet ratings, strangers. =)

Idunno, inviting a bunch of insane people over to post could be fun. Not because they'd post anything worthwhile, but because it'd be fun to laugh at them. It's been getting a little quiet around here lately. This place could use more halal threads.

 

[research]

isn't anthony that guy who was arrested for wife beating in 2015?

 

[Aquinas]

girlfriend, but yes

 

[break these cuffs]

You aren't wrong, but the counterpoint would be that good OPs take time. They just put this request up today, no need for them to try and rush to shit out ~7 different OPs on various O&A adjacent people.

If we're expecting them to properly intergrate, it's going to be a minimum of a few days before they can look out our formatting and learn a bit about our culture.

Their sub got nuked months ago. They could have been making and participating in threads long before. There is nothing preventing them from doing it now, they just want to make sure they have a core group of speds to join and a safe space to jerk each other off in. Just make accounts and start posting you stupid reddit niggers. I doubt Null is going to institute updoots and Kiwi Farms gold for your safeforum so everyone knows how fucking cool you are.

As someone that was a regular on the original and first alt sub. Please tell me SAA all the major events that happened in the O&A extended universe in 2019.

Carl Ruiz dying is the only one i can think of, so basically you want a subforum for something that has been effectively dead for over a year.

 

[Dan Abrams]

isn't anthony that guy who was arrested for wife beating in 2015?

Beating, biting, and choking. He later went to rehab but is back to drinking again. He is also legally prohibited from owning guns now, unfortunate for such a gun enthusiast and 2nd Amendment supporter.

 

[Cheeseburger Picnic]

I don't know anything about the O&A community but what's with all of the literally whos coming out of the woodwork to talk about ruining the forum culture

We love new friends just come post in the existing threads and see how it goes. Make a couple of new threads if you want. Don't rape our white women.

Give us your tired, your poor,
Your huddled autists yearning to breathe free

 

[PREACHERGOKU]

Beating, biting, and choking. He later went to rehab but is back to drinking again. He is also legally prohibited from owning guns now, unfortunate for such a gun enthusiast and 2nd Amendment supporter.

When did that happen? Didn't he just have to go to rehab for that?
