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

[KillThemCrackasBabies]

Actually didnt this shit basically happen with weeb wars already? The second the Vic case turned they started to sperg the fuck out didnt they? We already had our trial run of this.

If any O&A sub-comunity was ever involved or interested with weeb shit I was never aware of it. They always seemed to revolve around comedian circles and your gold nuggest like Fatrick, Logan Lynn, etc.

The biggest question is would a good portion of them even leave their Quarantine to explore? Half the fun(for me at least) is recognizing users as you rotate the thread your looking at. This is the key component(in my opinon) that makes the site fun in the first place. Its building a relationship with our other friends here and creating a good conversation, that means agreeing and disagreeing, sometimes we give someone we like a little handy for their ego, or we make fun of them. I dont think just dropping a echo chamber in the middle of it would be very fun outside of the users from the outside looking in.

I think you might have confused them with some other group, at least on le reddit most were at least vaguely aware of KF and similar "lolcow culture" circles that suggested they took part in them.

 

[HollaGemini]

These people are already sperging out in PM's about ratings

Is this true? Can we have more info?
If that is true, slow your roll bitches.. People usually get many bad ratings for a reason.
Edit: Its true. Of course its true.

[KingFrampt]

Imagine the autism from Weeb Wars and then multiply it tenfold, that is what this board would bring

 

[Spawn]

I have no fucking idea who Opie or Anthony are,

To be frank neither do I. But tldr they were cancelled 6 years ago after Anthony said some racist shit or something. To be frank the fact there was even a redit for this shit surprised me. But from the way this thread is going I'd doubt we would get anything good within 6 mo anyway. I mean look at Russel Greer he has a helluva thread yet even when null made a board it went to shit so quick we had to take it down within a couple weeks. Even if we could get a thread with some fucking golden tard cum in it (which seems like a pretty dam big if not gonna lie) then there is no guarantee a board based on it will go well. To me this just seems like a bunch of rediots looking for a new home to sperg out in and since we are the internet's tard corral they wanna make it here. Personally I think based on what I've read and the background on what O&A actually is im gonna concur that you guys should go on 4 Chan or whatever cucked thing they made 8chan into as you all might have better luck with it there.

 

[Sissy]

Deny these ill behaved migrants asylum. Granting them safe haven will create social unrest, furthermore stepping outside current site guidelines on the structure of subforums will do little more than make you look spineless.

 

[Love Machine]

Can't you still make your own board on 8chan anyway? Just go there.

 

[Splendid]

Based on the weekly updates we get from Who Are These Podcasts, I think we should start with just a thread unless OP can describe what sort of extended shenanigans there are that would merit a separate board.

 

[L50LasPak]

I apologize if this question has been asked before, but who in particular, even if you are highly dedicated, needs an entire board devoted to Opie and Anthony?

We have an over 1100 Sweet Jesus 1300 page long thread of people complaining about the new Star Wars movies in the multimedia section. That's also a large and semi-lively Star Trek thread I frequent, a very lively RedLetterMedia thread as well, both quite long.

You want a place where you can bitch, moan and speculate endlessly about them? Just make a thread and start pointing refugees there.

I don't really care too heavily about Weeb Wars but I'd say something like that is much more complicated and actually did require its own board since there were so many factors involved, regardless of the cesspit it became and the annoying people it attracted to the website.

Ron and Fez was the superior show. How are people still talking about O&A 6 years after the fact?

Some of the fans just want a safe-space to call Anthony a ”tranny lover” and while I’m sure KiwiFarms can accommodate them, it really is just pointless.

Ron and Fez were great by the way, even with Fez.

 

[KillThemCrackasBabies]

Oh I'm finally understanding why people keep bringing up Weeb Wars shit; setting up a breeding ground for spergs is what you're comparing the O&A people too, not that O&A fans involved themselves in Weeb Wars. On this note I feel like the O&A people would make significantly more sense, since while the WW shit garnered a huge following because of how many people on here were already huge into culture war faggotry, the O&A reddit was already more traditionally "lolcow based" like the board is skewed towards to begin with.

I still don't think they warrant a dedicated board on their own but I'm curious if maybe an idea similar to Proving Grounds deserves to come back; some kind of much looser standards for how a thread is posted in order to get people informed and curious about an individual without needed an encyclopedic documentation in the OP.

I said this before, but the big difference between us and Pests are that Pests actively fuck with people in real life. It's a really huge gulf in board culture. Here, outside of reporting real crimes, you'll get laughed at or even banned if you go out of your way to ruin some random lolcow's life. Some of the more infamous Pests would be considered serious a-logs here.

It would be cool if Null helped this guy set up his own new forum hosted on 1776, but having them here on the board probably isn't a good idea.

 

[RandoRemi]

Uh oh reddit fags.
This aint a good idea

 

[I Love Beef]

Weeb Wars veteran here, you Opie and Anthony Redditors need to earn your way up, ie open up a thread and get talking.

Not trying to throw my or our weight around, sorry, that's just how it goes. We didn't explode into prevalence 1/5ths the way into 2019 without a massive influx of people wanting to shoot the shit about self important elitist anime fan news outlets string pulling like crazy and anime dubbing production hotbed scandals. If it's interesting, Null and the mods will let you all know. Until then, open up a thread and wait and see.

You're a faggot

You're a faggot

I was going to call you something awful, but I can see you've already named yourself. Good day. And good luck.

Christ, I remember when this show was on the air in NY in the early 2000s and even then it was a hotbed for Autistic drama.

It's been like a decade and a half so I may not be remembering right, but they were taken off the air because one of their contests was to have couples fuck in public and one particularly brilliant pair of morons decided to bang in a vestibule in Saint Patrick's church in the middle of a fucking mass service. The blastback was fucking apocalyptic. The Catholic League got involved and they were out for blood. It was a mess.

To prevent them from broadcasting on any other network, WNEW didn't terminate their contracts, and just paid them for not doing anything until their contracts ran out. As I recall, this one incident ultimately set events in motion that for all intents and purposes killed pretty much all drive-time talk radio in NY by 2004 except for the big names on other networks like Stern and Imus. The big networks had no interest in hiring what effectively was a giant fine magnet no matter how good the ratings were, and WNEW became another top 40 station.

They also did the April fools prank where they announced Boston's mayor died in a car crash. His family thought it was real for a bit and they got booted off the Boston stations for it.
