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

Don't know which one of you glorious retards posted the KO screens on some random TF2 /v/ thread recently but you managed to remind me that KO still exists so I came back for another round of lols. Seeing that even Jimbo came around (no surprise there, always knew he'd come sooner or later) to elaborate how managing an online daycare for degenerate assholes somehow had a shred of dignity. I know i'm late to this retarded discussion but unfortunately for you, Jim - You missed the big picture: You're worried about rampant transphobia and bigotry - but you're the one who actively fueled it.

You see, all this time without the constant drama and bitching actually made way for me to meet and befriend genuinely decent trans/LGBTQ folk who actually respect my beliefs and don't act like the butt-fuck ugly stereotype that Knockout users have created throughout the years, it even came to a point where I honestly regret using slurs against them in this thread - but I know for a fact that it was directed at Knockout mostly because of their fucking terrible representation.

The common discourse in that miserable place is how trans folk are hated and on the brink of genocide (lol) - but instead of preventing the trans KO users shitting all over their "allies", limiting their speech as much as possible while unknowingly pushing anti-trans sentiments like crazy, You went ahead and backed them up. So perhaps you'll never read this post and frankly I don't give two shits if you do, but at the very least you should know that you helped spread insane amount of anti-trans sentiment just because you acted as a guard dog for a fringe group of toxic psychopaths - so congratulations, retard.

Anyways that's the end of my autistic rant. The latest petty drama about Hogwarts and the pronoun field made me lose my shit so thank god for that.

I come back to this thread every now and then to catch up on what's happening and I'm never disappointed to see that it's still the same cesspit of forum where everyone is a clone of Chris Chan in perpetual argument

Vibe check. General threads are boring or depressing.

News is usual rot. Not worth a screenshot.
Videos are ok-ish but bias is obvious. Check out the activity of the threads as well.

The forum definitely feels like it's slowly dying. I'll tally up the total number of viewers each day and the number has not exceeded 200 for awhile now.

For comparisons sake that means at their peak they get about 7% of Kiwi Farms users at 2 AM on a slow day. That's really fucking dire.

I don't know how you can have any interesting discussions or posts on a forum with such a small userbase at this point. I can imagine it's the same handful of people talking to each other over and over again.

Judging from deleted critics a lot of viewers of the forum don't post out of fear of reprisal. Engagement = 0

The fate of all hug box forums really, they ban everything they don't like so the forum no longer has any discussion beyond a handful of circlejerking weirdos. Who's going to stick around just to sit around posting only tranny approved posts with sensitive ban happy autistic trannies?

The funny thing is the banning of people for being a fag was a staple of old Facepunch, you just sat it out and came back to the forums because banning was basically considered a warning at the time. But knockout has taken it to such a huge extreme they just ban anyone who dares to disagree with the moderators on anything and everything. You constantly have to tread on eggshells in a way that was never a part of Garry's facepunch.

Aside from knockouters loving the fact that you can scale kobolds and nalestrof posting vids of infant sized kobold pounded by giant kobold cock 4 years ago, thread is dead. Most of video links seem deleted/down but there are some "mentally healthy" things remaining :cringe:

Click at your own risk,
(yes this game is on steam)

You'd get the occasional ones on Facepunch (i.e Big Dumb American and his Trump derangement syndrome) but even they never went as far as these lot. Generally you could get away with it as long as you didn't go too far into the extremes, so there was at least some discussion to be had. Knockout on the other hand will literally ban you for anything to the right of Lenin, and even Lenin is probably too much of a chud for them. Any political position that isn't placing 99% taxes on everyone who earns more than $20,000 and redistributing the money so unemployed minorities will see you banned.

Then on top of that you have to make sure you don't post any content from a content creator one of the mods has a grudge against, so you have to comb through the internet to make sure they didn't make any jokes about men in dresses lest they come in and delete your thread. Whats even the point in being there at that point? Even in our shitty over homogenised modern internet there's still plenty of places better than knockout for discussion forums, even reddit is preferable.

It's been that way for a very long time now. It was like that for quite a while even back when I was still posting there. The discussion around "people dont want to post for fear of dogpiling" came up all the time. The solution to the problem seems to have been "keep doing it until they all leave", which has worked wonders because now their forum is a very quiet echo-chamber.

Honestly must have been particularly insufferable even by tranny standards to manage to get fired for it, with how coddled trannies are at most businesses in the UK. It's quite difficult to actually get fired here so to manage that despite being a protected minority is quite an achievement.
