So this thread sprung up on Reddit recently (and digging it up made my hand spell like poo).

quote:

Anti-GG and SomethingAwful moderator Lowtax throws temper tantrum on Twitter after getting BTFO by Notch


Reddit having zero awareness of the fact that no one should be taking Lowtax seriously, ever, ever.
Now let's check some comments, shall we?



quote:

I love it. That embarrassing rant is so emblematic of SA's self-importance and entitlement. Like he probably honestly does believe that he deserves royalties because SA had a giant thread on Minecraft.

We loving made you, you nobody. Where would you be without the influence of the SomethingAwful forums? We invented LPs and 4chan and all those other things we hate now! We're important! We didn't pay 10bux to not be acknowledged as the humorous tastemakers we know we are! Haven't you plebs heard of Eve? My ironic political hot takes get retweeted like you wouldn't believe!

Goons in 2016 LUL
:jerkbag:

quote:

Ahh yeah Lowtax. The name says it all. Anything that might have some resemblance or reference to a post or comment on somethingawful should get taxed and given to Richard "everyone owes me something" Kyanka.

Apparently there isn't enough money to be made from banning the same trolls every other day for years on end on his not pretty loving irrelevant "but we still do photoshop phriday" website.

quote:

Oh SomethingAwful.com, how the mighty have fallen. Lowtax included.

Used to frequent that sight during the heyday of its popularity. General Discussion was lively with rigorous debates on issues along with movies.

Then I noticed how much of a hard-left circlejerk it was in addition to accepting misandrist views on men and Men's Issues. (Yeah, just try and start a thread there on Men's Issues. Not only would it be labeled garbage, you'd get transferred to their supposed parody forum that exists only to poke fun at and ridicule the poster.)

You know what, I hope Lowtax's whole enterprise dies. Because I'm now remembering how the majority of the users were lowlifes that didn't think twice doxxing and lambasting other low-lifes in another sub-forum created explicitly for that purpose before it got shut-down.
:jerkbag:

All SA gave minecraft is a lot of players' unprotected worlds to grief. gently caress the goons.

Reddit should realize that we are not so different. They have r/The_Donald and we have a Trump thread in C-SPAM. It's like, whoa, what is happening here? Long lost brothers? Haha, could you imagine?

The replies to those tweets are great because they're all banned obsessives who freak out at Lowtax every time he tweets or people who loving love playing the cyber blocks game and desperately defend notch's honor at every opportunity.

yeah i don't like that posts get ordered by how popular they are. i don't like that if something gets downvoted into the negatives, it gets pushed to the bottom and i have to click a little plus sign to view it. why the truck can't the posts just be in order so i can read them holy moly.

it's not the same if it's not formatted the same for everyone. if i buy a copy of harry potter and the chamber of secrets in the correct order, and then you buy a copy where the chapters are in order of how cool they are, we aren't going to be reading the same story. your book is going to be about a little british boy getting shown a magic trick and then ending up in the snake basement and then escaping to do homework.

i don't appreciate your reddit apologist attitude in the face of something obviously very hosed up and wrong.
