Bigot Brigade Something Awful and Friends - The roller-coaster train-wreck embarrassing downfall of a Web 1.0 giant and its tick offspring like from Cloverfield

SA really did have some great threads pre-2010 did it? "Your webcomic is bad and you should feel bad" was a great thread for making fun of the various try-hard idiots out there. But like everything else it went on for too long and unfunny people started taking it over trying to create the sickest burns on the most minimal of stuff.

A SA Thread is only a good as new content coming in to make fun of it is and not many mods had a good knack on knowing when to kill a thread. (Most of the time the only way a thread was killed was because it was making fun of some protected class of people).
And an unfortunate phenomenon was that the goon-run webcomics which were held up as the antidote to the mediocre/bad webcomics plaguing the net were themselves garbage, the Harry Potter meets animu trash Gunnerkrigg springs to mind

Though Legorobot afaik was a goon and his comic was the shit

Just wondering how Koala's March is handling all this. The only thing I'm presuming is she'd never go to B+R unless she started pretending to be nonbinary, considering her need to be seen as the most oppressed.
She's persona non grata I think because she put in the mod that argued trabbies are nowhere near as oppressed as actual black people
 
What, is the Lego Robot creator really Bob Averill, the Hampture dude lol?

Edit* The always 100% accurate ED claims so anyway.
That seems to be correct, but nowhere else sources their info well. The contact email for the webcomic is "bob@plasticbrickautomaton.com" so his name is bob. And Bob Averill is the Hampture guy according to Engadget.

I do think it's the same guy as iirc he was involved in some drama with atheism, is certified autistic and goony as fuck. The pedo accusations allegedly stemmed from he dating some 18 year old girl while studying and being a spergy edgelord with e-enemies. I think he wrote a soppy blog post about it.

He fits the description at least.

Edit* yeah, it's him

The worst SA-associated comic is probably Electric Retard which is so colossally bad it's almost a classic of badness, by Eric Vaughn, who unlike the Hampture guy, actually is just literally a pedo.

Electric Retard always has a Marquis De sade vibe to it. So it makes sense that's how fucked up the dude would have to be to make it
