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

[Emperor Julian]

Never ceases to amaze how lowtax doesnt realize his mods are a bunch of fuck ups and will never enforce his demand effectively. Give it about a week before loweffort retreats into his winebox and boring streams so the mods can continue running the forum into a ground. Not even the threat of an arrest can get him to do anything.

 

[Blake Chortles]

He knows they're fuckups but its free labor and they "run" his business for him.

If I had a business that brought in 6 figures with little to no effort on my part I wouldn't be sweating the low quality of workmanship in the free labor that keeps it running (with happy goons buying bullshit)

 

[AnOminous]

It's looking worse than that actually. This went up in QCS:

I have to share this complete bugfuck insanity in the GBS coronavirus thread:

[BIG BILL HELL'S]

Just imagine a man in a dress, screeching forever.

The Internet is a series of men in tube tops

going back to Gaia Online where jokes are legal,

BAHAHHA. Pointing out that SA is a comedy website when SRRS BZNZ is afoot will get you fucking banned, pointing out that their behavior can get you a visit from the nice folks in the wool suits and aviator sunglasses = WHOA HEY HOLD ON GOOF TROOP I GUESS THIS ISN'T A COMEDY SITE ANY MORE, JOKES AREN'T LEGAL?

For the 'woke' left, being actually funny is a bad thing to them now.

For the 'woke' left, being actually funny is a bad thing to them now.

There's an old quote I often hear attributed to some nigger called H L Mencken:

“One horse-laugh is worth ten thousand syllogisms. It is not only more effective; it is also vastly more intelligent.”

I find this quote to be disingenuous when it comes to how serious discussions regarding serious topics should be handled, but it absolutely applies when complete fuckups are being completely fucked up. Their existence elicits uncontrollable laughter and they don't like to be reminded of that.

 

[blablabla]

Reading the wrestling forum and every screeching trannie cancels every man in tights who dare to like the wrong opinion on twitter. It is very informative. In Borat voice: not

People on FYAD said this guy is a known troll. Look at that avatar and text - surely so over the top it couldn't be real... Right? RIGHT?!?

 

[intermittent farting]

The fact that a "comedy website" is now utterly overrun with humorless, screeching, mentally-ill men wearing dresses and makeup is, in itself, gut-bustingly funny.

Consider this: It may be real, it may be not, but the fact that we're even so doubtful about it has a weight of its own.
The thing is: a post that clearly falls so hard under Poe's Law but still makes us doubt it may be real tells you a lot what reputation Goons have as absolutely batshit-crazy mongs.
In my opinion a reputation well-deserved, especially considering what happened with their community after web 2.0 sites like SA stopped being relevant.

Goons are bad at expressing an opinion that doesn't immediately follow a two-page-long postquote, so I'm having to fuck with the HTML a bit to make these readable, but here:


In response to protests in Pennsylvania.

I checked the Animal Crossing thread and was disappointed to not see any meltdowns about the lizard -- a cartoon lizard in a children's game -- not being in an active homosexual relationship. That's quite the thing in some communities nowadays.

Wait what? Why are they pissed about a cartoon lizard not being gay?
I mean, I get it, they want every character in everything (except the villian) to be on some sort of spectrum, but why are they expecting the literal reptilian menance to be faggot?

If you're talking about a one line reply after quoting a wall of text- that used to be one of the many things that were against the rules on SA.

imagine the level of pathetic someone needs to be to put that kind of mental effort towards thinking about the nature of the sex lives the cartoon animals in a childrens video game are having

Well the far-left doesn't take kindly to humor these days.

Humor is how the alt-right nazis subvert and recruit youth!
