10 Years

I´ve been lurking since 2017 since I wanted to get a hang of the forum culture before I started posting. Sorry if I¨m still sticking out like a sore thumb.
This site is like no other and I hope Null is really proud of what he has achieved. And thank you all for the good laughs, god knows it´s needed in these times.
 
It wasn't just hanging out here. Alot of us went out into the fields of Social Media and began raising a stink. Users in the Industry began making loud autistic shrieks in corporate back channels. Null gets a ton of credit for sticking to his guns, but quite a few Kiwis also went out to the wire to push back the Viet Fong.
It was inspiring to see people step up and rally. I think their biggest mistake was underestimating what they were dealing with, and in their single minded focus they disregarded how people would feel about the implications of what they were doing and the effect it would have on things they never even considered. Because they live in a carefully curated and guarded hugbox which purges and insulates them from wrongthink and dissent, they get the impression they are much more liked and supported than they are, when in fact they are just barely tolerated and that only because people don't want to deal with their tantrums.
Thankfully the more they push the more they peak people and the more people get sick of their shit.
No one creates more "transphobes" than the actions of the AGP perverts themselves.
It was just disturbing realizing that they were getting a lot of support from shadowy supporters, but I think they overplayed their hand.
I also think Musk taking over Twitter came at the right time, it destroyed their illusion of support and took away their most powerful means of throwing that illusory weight around, at the same time it gave them another target and distraction to scream at.
Really everyone involved who stepped up to defend our community, no matter what their actions were, deserves a big fucking Semper Fi.
We Held the Line, and we're still here because of everyone who pushed back.
I salute all of you, you beautiful bastards.

I'm loving seeing the new random.txt quote pop up already. A fun token to remember the Kerfluffle by
