The trolling with effort can be really hilarious and is something I legit look forward to. Watching people get baited into owning themselves in the ArcheAge thread was the only reason to read it for weeks at a time. Then we get like four straight pages of image meme macro posting, "ironically" unironic racism and homophobia, eyepops, empty quotes and poo poo posting without even a hint of effort. Just F5 and mash on the keyboard, LE COMEDY! The fun part of watching people be loving stupid is washed away in a tide of poo poo. There's no content, no effort, nothing to salvage or enjoy.

Any attempt to even try to get it back on track is met with 'LAWL I M le puppe mster' bullshit and more of the above. Even right here in this exact thread, that exact routine is playing out when people want to have a discussion about the state of the games forum in the state of the games forum thread. Every twelve year old on the internet can puke that stuff up on reddit all day long. I was attracted to SA because of the moderation that kept that poo poo in check and allowed conversations to take place.

I am sorry that posters did not treat Archeage thread goers tripping over themselves of their own volition to debate in exactly what cultural and political contexts having sex with underage children was "not so bad" to the amount of effort and respectful trolling you believe that they deserved.

The people here like CoffeeBooze cared about it way more than she ever did and that Cyster and I were actually able to giggle about it and then talk while 2 months later the people who aren't that dev are still mad about it is pretty funny.

That doesn't fit the narrative though that some people like to have so :shrug:

I don't know about how Cyster took it, and I'm glad that it wasn't meant with hate by you, nor taken badly. I just think that 'I hope you lose your job and become destitute' is barely a step up from 'I hope you die' comments. I don't particularly care that you targeted a dev for a poo poo game, I just don't like the idea of that kind of thing in general.

So basically I'm not saying you're a bad person who deserved to be banned for attacking Custer or that I need to defend her from you, I'd just personally prefer if that kind of joke wasn't used again, at least not unless its targeting actual hosed in the head weirdos who think pedophilia and furry scat porn are okay.

I agree. Better words coukd have been chosen. This guy was a total loser though. He's the one in Kewpuhs report shaming thread who melted down when he got caught posting on multiple accounts claiming one was his GF and then posted a bunch of weird furry scat porn everywhere.

Good hill for CoffeeBooze to die on, defending Panda Clue/Gay Rumsfeld.

This is how your posting feels.
🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥
To make a serious post here, I think there's a bit of a culture clash because, while SA is a comedy website and the forums are ostensibly meant to reflect that sense of humor, the $10 paywall and moderation style means that this is also a really, really good forum for general video game discussion (at least for the standards by which such things are measured). Public gaming forums typically have the signal to noise ratio of a youtube comment thread and are moderated for courtesy rather than content. The :10bux: prevents most of that crowd from ever joining, and the fact that you can call someone out for being an idiot without getting yourself banned for being impolite helps filter out a lot of the rest of the chaff. While I definitely appreciate the sense of humor that some posters bring to this place, I joined this forum primarily because I'm a high-functioning autistic who likes to subject games to deep mechanical analysis and this forum is the best place I've seen where I can those kinds of conversations with like-minded people and not have to wade through an ocean of tears about how Pyros are overpowered and the like. While I'm now realizing that I may not be here for entirely the right reasons and my discussion-first mentality probably puts me in the minority, this forum definitely has a substantial population of users who appreciate the overall quality if discourse. Comedy is definitely still content, but it's not the primary reason I'm here (and to be honest, I haven't found the front page funny since I was in high school).


I realize I'm coming dangerously close to agreeing with Adem Bowen, and while I never could make it very far through the gamers.txt threads I saw enough to find this deeply disturbing.
