In fact, it sounds a lot like the average anti-LGBT hate groups with a thin veneer of justification, on a forum dedicated to stalking and harassing a mentally ill manchild.

I doubt the main driving factor here is anti-LGBT hate and more along the lines of "We found someone who is completely insane and responds when we egg them on!"

they're perfectly happy to throw the regular style of anti-LGBT hate onto it very very liberally, though, so the distinction's kinda pointless in actual effect

I was going to say there's probably a CWC thread around on these forums somewhere if ya'll wanna post in that (not that i'm going to look for it) but then I realized such a thread would probably get gassed in short order, thank god. At any rate not that i'm one to backseat mod and all, but CWC's not really a goon thing.

How up to date is the SAclopedia anyway? Always found it slightly odd that we even have one.

Fire is a pedophile that got chased off SA for the last time a few years ago. His first real brush with negative attention was in 2003 when he made a thread where he threw a fit about a Zach Parsons review of the game Princess Maker II. His vicious defense of what every sane person deemed as a game for pedophiles gained him notoriety that would follow him into the present. He was a big LF poster of the type to be slamming "FULL COMMUNISM NOW!" into his keyboard at the drop of a hat, but most other LF posters were not fans of him. Though I guess he got let into at least one of their offsite boards. He eventual exit was preceded by a fit he threw in a GBS thread about Chelsea Manning leaking a bunch of poo poo to noted Russian agent Julian Assange. A group of mostly GIP posters were mocking his simplistic beliefs and eventually Princess Maker II came up and he had a meltdown that got him "banned". In actuality Ozma comped him a new account because she hated GIP. Fire bragged about this and it wasn't hard to figure out who this new account was and he was chased off again. There were at least a couple more account made, the most notable of which was him raving in an e/n trans megathread about how he was going to sue a battered women's shelter for not letting him stay there and being condemned by every single person in the thread.

Midway through all of this SS dug through his internet history and found a bunch more pedophile stuff. An account name he'd used before had been used on TV Tropes to edit an article about a movie titled Child Bride, in addition to some other creepy media. There were posts on other message boards about masturbating while driving, and buying alcohol for minors. Allegedly they passed this information to whatever school district he worked for in Florida and got him fired, but there doesn't seem to be any proof of this. Around this time Elliot Rodgers went and murdered some people and this somehow convinced Fire that he was trans. His fiance wasn't especially happy about this and tried counseling but that amounted to nothing. In Fire's mind the fiance was mean because she wasn't comfortable with any of this despite thanklessly supporting his loser rear end after the job loss, so they split up. His behavior got whacky enough that he was dis-invited to a family Thanksgiving at his parent's house while he was living there.

Fire then packed up and moved to Chicago to be with some other internet crazy person. This didn't last either and they started flinging allegations of abuse against each other. Fire had a temp job with some foundation tutoring kids (guess they didn't do a very good background check) but the temporary nature of the job was strictly enforced. The Chicago ex or somebody else sent all of Fire's coworkers naked pictures, and also put them on his LinkedIn. Fire claimed this got him fired from the position but that seems to be a lie since it was only a temp job and it was the end of the period. Since then Fire has exploited the kindness of some naive people for free room and board, and not held down any sort of job. His degree is in teaching but obviously there's a lot of evidence that he shouldn't be allowed near children, which is especially creepy since he was a special ed teacher who was in charge of vulnerable children. There's apparently some issue with transferring his teaching license to Illinois so that could mean that he lost it for creepy reasons, or just be an excuse. He thinks more menial work is beneath him so he's just completely stagnated at this point.

It seems odd to single them out for internet vigilante justice, considering that furries, religious people, MRAs, PUAs, Neo-Nazis and most internet social groups have their own fair share of scammers and bad roommates.

Almost like they're being targeted because they're LGBT.

Nah they literally drove one of my ex's friends to suicide because she's trans and....talked about it I guess? Was easy to rile up? No idea.

then they made memes out of the suicide note.

So uh, yeah, that website sucks. So does shmorky, but still.


Also I couldn't find it browsing thru the thread but who's that one trans goon that also turned out to be a rapist? I stopped following the trans thread forever ago but remembered seeing something about it.

It's had some good laughs but it's run its course. They were good for exposing the entirety of the Star Citizen scam and getting a refund subreddit setup so dumb people could get their money back. Also Pgabz videos are amazing.

I mean, you could argue that anyone dumb enough to spend hundreds to thousands on a a game don't deserve that money ANYway, I suppose. But there will be at a minimum lawsuits, and more than likely charges filed in a few countries for deceptive business practices.
