Facepunch/Knockout Forums - A "welcoming" gaming and lifestyle community

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
The lack of self awareness is astounding. This site really should be studied by someone about how the more of a echo chamber a place becomes, the less self awareness that is found.
Recently I've tried posting on KO again through an old alt from when KO first started, and I'm just utterly dumbfounded at how fucking dense they can be. I think the most frustrating aspect is how  certain they can be on very complex, nuanced topics, and you HAVE to have the right opinions, or you get fucking dogpiled.

Literally every discussion I have goes:

*trannies shitting and farting over a topic, acting like retards*

"Well guys, I think you're oversimplifying a complex issue, and maybe you should consider X..."

"You buffoon. You fucking chud. You absolute moron. Did you really think we were being serious? writes screed using biased sources Why are you so stupid? shitcumfart"

"Idk I just think the issue is a little more compli-"

BANNED

They have this esoteric moral framework, and they believe you have to adhere to even the most minute moral obligations, and ANY trangression is haram. It's why I keep comparing it to a religion, even the most mild error is worthy of shame, and one must atone for wrongthink by being ridiculed in the public square.

Knockout struggles to understand that unions exist to serve workers and are more than just larping a marxist revolution.

Quite ironic that's coming from a user that's sporting the Enclave flag as a profile picture and is using "Colonel Autumn" as a nickname.

I bet they wouldn't act so uppity if it was their job being at risk. If they even have one, that is.

that last one holy shit. Can these people see in anything but black & white? Will they not even consider the wider consequences of phasing out Russian gas overnight? People are already having to choose between food & heat because of all this but I guess that isn't important.
 
"Do not advocate for violence" rule discussion.
This shit genuinely exhausts me. Seeing so many people blindly oblivious to the legal right of self-defense and completely lacking any self-realization is saddening.

I will now end with a quote I wished to give to Knockout a year ago, but in the current political climate, it seems far more relevant. The site is only dooming itself to a slow and painful death and I'm all aboard the rollercoaster.

 
I fucking swear there is no place on the internet where people have more insane opinions. A literal 2:1 ratio of dumbs to agrees. What the fuck.

How many people do you think actually looked at the post before clicking Dumb? Because I'm pretty sure that most people looked at it and just dumb-rated it because everyone else did.

I wouldn't be surprised if people actually read it first. Trannies have a weird morality system. They view people that commit crimes like that to be desperate fellow poors that have no other choice than to break into homes. In their minds, killing a burglar is the same as killing a looter at a random grocery store during a natural disaster.
 
A third of the userbase are trannies. I don't know why (probably because it was "repressed" on FP), but that's the way it is. You basically answered your own question.
Because FP was the main go to website to discuss and showcase Source modding & games, which in turn brought in a heavy dose of autistic users.

Eventually, most of said users, which became the majority in the forums, trooned out or became furries or both.

Just look at today's state of Half-Life 2/Team Fortress 2 modding scene, there is no mod post Current Year which doesn't feature tranny developers and eventually gay drama around them.

Check out the Team Fortress 2 community thread here in Community Watch or Tyler McVicker's thread in Lolcows. Most of the spergs mentioned there came from Facepunch, one way or another. It's all connected, man. :neckbeard:
