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

This is random and not related to SA, but I thought some of you might get a laugh. In the novel It, the first kill is a gay couple (FYI the novel was written in 1986). This scene happened in the present before the flashbacks. When the 2017 film hit, the Internet was true to form so the new Pennywise became an ironic/not-ironic sex symbol. Then it was decided he was a "Queer Icon," because.

So the sequel hit last year, and as we all know the '17 film was entirely the flashback part of the novel; so this film will be the modern part, with the characters as adults. The opening scene of the sequel adapts the opening scene of the novel (you know, as adaptations are wont to do), and you can guess what happened next: Outrage that Pennywise is homophobic:


Thankfully, this didn't get enough traction and was forgotten amidst other outrages.
I don't understand why a monster from another universe that eats the fear and flesh of children is supposed to be a queer icon and I guess I just never will.
 
Let's be honest here there are no traps on SA, I'd go so far as to wager not even a blind man would fall for any of them.

Psst do you remember the iron rose? He got shat on hard for daring to go chat with SS faggots.

He talked alot about how he got model gigs and had like beatiful people privileges to his credit he wasnt a fat blob like most crazy troons but if he fooled you....well....

It wasn't just because of the first scene. In the movie they insinuated that Richie was in the closet so Pennywise engaged in a fair bit of homo bashing. Who would have thought that a murderous space clown might not be woke.

That's right! This is correct, and the last It/gay-related derail: They included gay people as both hero and victim in the film, and they were called homophobic. If they deleted the gay couple and Richie's possible closeted nature (the latter I don't recall being in the book), they would then be accused of gay erasure.

Back to the Something Awful situation, I believe the SA forum troons to be a far more extreme, mentally-ill flavor of LGBT+ folk. It's been stated in the thread numerous times these people are never satisfied. Just like the Pennywise situation, however I see the SA forum dialogue to be worse. Actually toxic, just as they accuse others of being.

Again, as stated quite a few times in this thread, the SA forums were a really unique and interesting place. You could certainly get deep into geek shit, but there was a wealth of information on what I once fondly called Grown Up Shit, as well as just interesting and entertaining nonsense. Interesting people would share their life experiences. The book recommendations I collected from the early '00s to the 10's alone made the $10 worth it. But now it's just "autistic screeching," an ableist slur sadly accurate. Just pedantic, often overly-verbose narcissistic nonsense.

This thread is a novel of particular value to former goons. The indescribable feeling of watching SA explode in slow motion... seeing Lowtax degrade himself on video for less cash than one would spend on a real date, the type of thing Lowtax himself would've dunked on to rave reviews back in the day...

That last sentence sounds like I'm a Lowtax fanboy, so let me end by sharing some more Gay Pennywise:

The losers should have defeated Pennwise in It Part 2 by showing him this fanart.
 
im permabanned poster terfstomper58. i first started reading tgrs when i was about 32. by 34 i got really obsessed with the concept of “bigorty” and tried to channel it constantly, until my thought process got really bizarre and i would repeat things like “bad faith” and “anyone who disagrees with me is a Nazi” in my head for hours, and i would get really paranoid, start seeing things in the corners of my eyes etc, basically prodromal schizophrenia. im now on antipsychotics. i always wondered what the kind of “bigoted” style of tgrs slacktivism was all about; i think it’s regressive tribalism being directed by postmodern ideology, what integral theory considered to be the cause of fascist and totalitarian systems. i would advise all people who “get” tgrs to be careful because that likely means you have a predisposition to a mental illness. peace.
 
I had a back-up account because i knew that people were starting to get banned for trivial shit
Definitely the most pathetic thing I've read all week at least. Also, how is your anus? @Shiversblood can we get a status update in General on Trent's anus?
 
Hello. I'm just some random guy so i don't know why you are angry with me.
The goons coming here to cry about the fall of SA make me laugh because I've always found getting attached to internet shit pathetic. Shiversblood's stories about the anus of a man named Trent are unironically some of the best posts on his forum and I extending an olive branch. God I fucking hate goons.

Do you have stairs in your house?


Goons hate eachother.

The community bled normies for over a decade the cat ladies, TDS admins, and now the troon squad are just pushing the place to it logical conclusion.

I read you wrong because i am only learning about this place.

If i was an active current day goon i'd be demanding that you were banned for invading my safe space (anus) with words on the internet.

Pennywise was defeated when he felt fear, not annoyance!

SA front page would've totally had a Pennywise: Gay Hero article in its prime. Now that very same fan art would get posted for fake compliments in between declarations of intensely personal, exaggerated anecdotes based on obsessive thoughts or obsessing over body parts.

Goons aren't "crying." We're laughing, but not constantly. This is interesting, an extra-slow slo-mo train wreck, you see. The fucking divorce hearings haven't even started yet. We're all just checking in, laughing, and then shaking our head at the awe-inspiring damage wrought upon the landscape. I don't even think we've hit the peak yet. Imagine if SA forum nonsense somehow makes it into court. I mean, Schmorky's presence in Lowtax's life would have relevance regarding parental custody of the kids (those poor fucking kids...). Picture a judge and lawyers on both sides having to watch Gaming Garbage clips.
 
I never registered for an account on SA because holy shit, I'm not paying actual money just for the privilege of posting an a goddamn internet forum, but this thread has inspired me to go back and look at the FYAD stuff that's been saved in the comedy goldmine, and I found this recent thread, which I found hilarious. I haven't seen any reference to it here on KF, but since it is transparently making fun of troons, I figured I'd archive it to make sure it doesn't get disappeared.

That first post is actually really well written and funny. What the hell is it doing there?
