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

While I'm in favor of having an O&A subforum, I'd vote no because there's not a single lolcow in the O&A that produces enough tard cum to warrent an entire forum on kiwifarms.

The best option imo is to create a pest-control thread under lolcow or internet famous that contains everything the existing opie and anthony threads and then go from there. If that thread blows up over the next year or two; we can address having a whole subforum then.

I'd agree with this although I'd say more 6mo then 1-2 years
 
I do agree with opening some kind of pliminary thread before making a full board would prove fruitful. It will gauge how much people want it and the extra support for this site in the mean time couldn't hurt

I'm a solid O&A fan and all the off shoots. I was never involved with Reddit because Reddit is fucking super gay AIDS cancer

Reddit demolished O&A boards because of exactly what we do NOT do here --- troll plans , poking the bears etc

An O&A board here that could agree NOT to be insufferable cunts to the talents would be welcome. The Reddit people would be bad for kiwi business.

Don't @ me, cunts. Linger Longer!!

Nah the original subreddit got banned for repeated DMCA complaints because they kept posting pictures from Fatrick Tomlinson's instagram and passages from his books.

I don't remember any trolling plans or poking the bears outside of the subreddit. Joe Cumia made several appearances on his own volition though.

Repeated DMCA notices were what killed every sub except the first. Reddit admins saw a flurry of them arriving in their inbox on a daily basis, and they couldn't verify their validity even if they cared to, so they just baleeted everything. It didn't matter if fresh incarnations of the subreddit instituted strict rules prohibiting copyrighted material from any source, the two fatties would strike away and the admins would comply disinterestingly. That's why the whole excuse the Reddit team made afterwards, that it was all an evil harassment campaign, was such dishonest bullshit. They knew exactly what was happening every step of the way and played along for months, until they released the whack-a-sub game would go on forever unless they drew a line in the sand.

That having been said, there definitely were people who took things too far, and it's imperative that any new migrants get aggressively schooled on the Prime Directive and why its important to this community. Zero tolerance for anyone going out of their way to prod the cows.
 
Is that radio show even still on? I hated it. I didn't even know there was a community. You guys want a whole section to yourselves? Not my call but this isn't an orphanage. Can't you all put some kind of shoutout on social media to gather up and put yourselves on a skype or something? It's your own fault you couldn't keep in contact.

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.
Want a place to discuss old episodes? Start a thread in Multimedia, you don't need permission. All the other shit could probably fit fine in a Community Watch thread or individual cow threads.

I don't know why you should get a whole new section just for you because you fags got kicked off Reddit. That's what Voat is for.
 
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 exceptional individuals 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 exceptional "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. =)
Please read the last portion of my post. I've clearly stated I have no issues with members of displaced communities joining, I have an issue with them being granted a subforum for themselves just for joining, forming cliques which you clearly have an issue with. Yaniv's subforum started off as merely a thread before everything started picking up, a subforum started when the thread exploded due to the mass publishing of news articles after that anonymity order was lifted if I remember correctly. Those that wanted to post about Yaniv weren't just given a subforum from the get-go, there was a thread already there for anyone to post in. I implore you to learn about what happened to the defunct MrEnter subforum. The community (both fans and critics) surrounding MrEnter (an autistic man who reviews children's cartoons) was fucking awful and swarmed in on any site that discusses MrEnter. That was ultimately why such a subforum was shut down. If Voat decided to kick out those that discuss PizzaGate, would you be fine with taking them all in and giving them a subforum? At the end of the day, Kiwi Farms is just a forum to discuss retards on the internet, not some website trying to save all that are shunned away.
 
O&A does not deserve its own unique subforum, but combining the already existing Joe Cumia and Anthony Cumia threads into a single thread and expanding that to contain the entirety of the autistic O&A universe would probably be best.

None of the O&A cows produce enough tard cum for a single subforum as we can see with the two cum brothers; they barely produce enough for two separate threads.

I think that, if we were to make a megathread, it's best to leave the existing threads alone. Merging them would make a single thread too bloated and confusing. IMO, the purpose of a OnA thread is to contain all the stuff about minor figures and events that don't deserve their own threads, while major people with an extensive lore should be treated no different from any other lolcow. Also, you've got people like Patrick Tomlinson and Logan Lynn that are quite deserving of own threads, considering they're pretty much unrelated basket cases that the sub stumbled across and took a (well-deserved) interest in.

My issue with seperate threads for every cow related to the O&A subreddit is that they dont produce enough content on their own, and I assume the majority of kiwifarms doesn't give a shit about them. I feel like the seperate threads would stagnate and die similar to the Joe and Anthony Cumia threads here. However, one massive thread for all of them would show the actual interest in the opie and anthony universe.

I could be mistaken, but I believe something similar happened with Mr. Enter back in the day. He was a singular cow in a vortex of autism that then generated his own subforum which has since been reduced back to a single thread in the internet famous subforum for various reasons.

If the condensed thread produced enough content over a period of six months to a year, I feel like null and other members of kiwifarms would be willing to create a seperate forum for opie and anthony related autism.

No @Null I don’t think you want these people here unless the support they would provide outweighs the embarrassment they would bring to the site. The O&A pests (late 90s and early 2000 era trolls) that are actually funny are already here. The spergy boomers from the O&A subreddit can’t let the show die. They can’t seem to move onto other things that are funny and that’s weird to me.

I remember when this was a site about Christian Weston Chandler and people got mad about the Lolcow board.

FAKE NEWS, he joined Jun 7, 2019

Also this "Josh" guy is such an OLD FAG
Nov 14, 2012, gee.
He's a boomer in internet years.
Excuse his old eyes 🤣

I do think that there might be a place for a mass migration, but you got to bring some over first and jerk eachother off over the next few months over O&A in a seperate thread. Once it becomes too large to manage easily then that's when the sub-boards are needed; but even then this isn't 8kum and once a board is created, it creates problems of its own.
Take the Weeb Wars subboard, I personally think the shark had jumped after the main attractions but it subsists on smaller "cows" that could have just had their own threads in other boards.
Also the whole "race to the top" upvoting system is non-existant here. I have a hard time reasoning that reddit users have the mental capacity for anything that isn't mediocre to reach the largest upvote ratio possible (aka sucking off as many people as possible).

Regardless, I for one welcome new fags, I myself am technically one. Lurking for a LONG TIME does not count towards my percieved credibility. Just don't expect more then any other fag and lurk a bit before trying to bring your own "unique" flavor to the forums.

This is the time for the O&A community to adapt or perish, do you really think adapting to a gay forum like this is a good idea for long term viability?
 
I have no fucking idea who Opie or Anthony are, but I'd like them to have their own board, as long as it has a good OP for everyone to get up to speed on,

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.

Thinking about it more, I think they should earn their board. I highly doubt that Opie and Anthony shit is lively enough to warrant a whole board. Our resident star wars thread would probably be more active. While I'm all for taking rejects from other places, they still at least have to fit in and interact with other places here in at least some form. This would be inviting them, then immediately Quarantining them to their own entire corner of the site.

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.
