Is 'medical' some kind of goon wordfilter or are these people seriously framing being emotionally triggered as a health hazard?

 

[Shaka Brah]

Seeing Bread and Roses getting recommended as an alternative place in a lot of threads that have nothing to do with the main fora stuff. The MMA thread, for example. There is apparently an MMA thread already on Bread and Roses, which makes sense, as many 'women' (MtF) naturally have a huge interest in fight sports, motor sports, pro wrestling, etc.

Bacterial marketing, eh?

That post is from Goon Doctor. I'm sure B&R has at least a few medical stories threads because troons and C-SPAMers alike are munchies.

It is funny, I just had a "conversation" with a SA goon who tried to defend the removal of statues saying
Troon: all statues are racist and must be torn down because there are a couple bad ones like Jefferson and the people trying to stop it are fascists.
Me: "remember 3 years ago when you called trump a conspiracy theorist for saying that jefferson and washington were next?"
troon: Well jefferson was a terrible person and the statues are being torn down because they represent bad people.
me: " what about Grant, the 54th all black regiment, Lincoln, Cerventes, The polish person who spent his entire fortune freeing and educating blacks and all the other statues?"
Troon: Well you are just bringing up the slippery slope fallacy.
Me: "Isnt that exactly what is going on?"
Troon: Shut up why are we talking about this who brought this up this is a pointless conversation
Me: "you brought this up"
Troon: *crickets*

They seem to have no true faith in their world view once anyone starts challenging it. They are so coddled from birth that the tiniest bump in the road causes them to lose control of everything.

Like the same 10 people keep spamming it every page and then claiming it's the offsite everyone's using.
Boy, Ain't it strange that the forum made by the people who got the only people calling out lowtax's shit banned (Before fleeing after he wouldn't resign from his own business) is suddenly very pro believe women.

Also lol @ the libtard getting trolled by vandalism saying obama was a shit president while throwing around the word "nazi" like it's going out of style,
Tell me you'd have talked down black jesus (or lowtax for that matter) 3 years ago, faggot.

Something something dialectic, something something jelly-like slime.

Space Station 13 gooncode. The code leak in... I wanna say 2016 is the backbone for the best SS13 servers today.

The code leak most servers spawned from was sometime around the late 2000s. The 2016 code leak came after other large codebases had years to develop their own features, and as a result, wasn't as widely adopted as the original gooncode

 

[Aquinas]

IIRC, there was another just recently that a bunch of the goonstation staff tards tried to DMCA over

 

[assdick42069]

I've been wondering, what's the last good thing to come out of Something Awful? The last thing I can remember that was worth anything is Slender Man.

Danger Mill and the Tesla thread that made national news

The 2016 leak is what most major servers are based on now I thought. Bay and TG integrated it wholesale, or close enough, and Colonial Marines is based on TG. They simplified a lot of the systems but use the same sprites and for a long time almost all the same atmos and engine code (fastmos came out recently and is almost universally reviled).

Now that I think of it, I stopped paying attention to SS13 shortly after the Gooncode leak that involved someone attempting to bribe the leaker which I think was the 2016 leak.
You're probably right.

Suddenly a few goons are realizing that I (Cascadebeta) and a bunch of other farmers are mods over at B+R and basically what I'm saying is it's like the ending to cerebus lol.

E: Also lol

On mobile so I can’t screenshot but this is from the QCS thread:

Well, I was, and that's why I clicked on a thread about it. And what I saw was definitely weird and troubling. But I really didn't know what to think about it. Like, I don't know the dude or ever thought about his personal life, you know? And not being privy to mod discussions at the time, imagine if the mods had declared rebellion against Lowtax at the time, with the information they had at the time, would rank-and-file goons have followed them? I don't know the answer to that. I think criticism is fair and deserved but there's a kind of power and omniscience that is sometimes imparted to the mods that I don't think they have from what I've seen. Maybe some people would like that but I don't think that's possible. Something Awful in my experience in general is a much more democratic kind of forum than a lot of places on the internet. It's not anarchy like 4chan but it's also not a series of walled, feudal dictatorships like Reddit.

Emphasis mine.

The lack of self-awareness here is amazing. I could literally not think of a better description of the SA Forums than “walled, feudal dictatorships”

Edit: to be fair this is true to a varying degree for pretty much any forum split into different topic areas with different moderators for each section

In further "everyone told this dumb fuck this would happen," the troons who Richard appeased and deep throated by throwing their enemies into the toilet have instantly turned on him even harder than any other group, even though they'd probably approve of Richard beating women so long as he told them they were terves.

They seem to have no true faith in their world view once anyone starts challenging it. They are so coddled from birth that the tiniest bump in the road causes them to lose control of everything.

It's because they're basically cultists. They start reeeeing and screeching when confronted with opposing ideas because the nonsense they believe is completely indefensible.

 

[repentance]

If the jannies continue to moderate, as they're doing now, then the only fallout from this will be Lowtax losing a large whack of his monthly income.

It will still bring in enough money for nothing that he's unlikely to shut SA down, and I expect that a lot of those who claim to be outraged will be back to posting normally in a couple of weeks.

 

[Ghostse]

Fuck I chose the wrong time to go on vacation apparently.
@Coolio55 looks like the convo with the current Cascadebeta PW/VPN endpoint got deleted, send me the new one plz

True or not, it's fantastic that the very people Lowtax has tried to kowtow to throughout the last few years have now effectively turned against him in a mutiny.
This reads like absolute insanity, but this is the only real highlight:

We've been right about all the shitty mods we've outted.
ITs time to accept that KF is right.

Well I mean technically. We do think everyone is shit, so maybe its time to accept that everyone involved with SA.com, including you, is a piece of shit.

What the fuck is so hard about not beating your wife? I mean, if one of his ex-wives had to go to a women's shelter this was a lot more systemic and serious than him slapping them once or twice(not saying that this is okay, but it's a bit more understandable than using someone as a punching bag and less permanently damaging as well) when he was really pissed off, I would assume. How the fuck do you seriously decide to just go full ham on someone smaller and less physically capable than you?

Spoken like someone who never has been married.

I have no fair weather support for her. I still think shes a crazy whore, but even crazy whores don't deserve to get smacked by a drug addict loser.

I agree though its 50% that he actually did anything to her and 50% her crazy BPD ass is wrecking his life. If only someone had warned him....

P. much this.

I don't think Bogan is blameless here, and I also lol at addict Richard "Low-spine" Kyanka being able to backhand anything other than a wet tissue hard enough to constitute a serious assault. But a) no one deserves to get hands laid on them unless they laid hands on some one first and b) this is his third partner who has complained of the same sort of abuse. Or I guess more to the point, I might not believe Bogan, but I do believe Maplewife.

Lowtax has a history of targeting younger, insecure women he can control. Its always been the case, he's just having a harder time hiding his love of vulnerable late-20's clock-ticking poon now that he's like 45.

P-P-Powerbook and stuff looking back really aren't all that funny.

P-P-Powerbook is still fucking hilarious and only ruined by the lack of closure you humorless fuck.

Anyway, a lot of that web 1.0 humor WAS as funny as you remember, but isn't anymore, because it was novel then and isn't now. That's it. The web opened up new ways and paths of humor, and now that they've been beaten in the ground, they aren't new and without their newness, have lost all humor.

 

[repentance]

In the time they've spent posting countless "Lowtax bad" threads, goons could have easily set up a Patreon, a website, and new forums.

And this is how SA's tradgames forum ends: with a tranny slapfight.
