No his only posts over there have been to point out that they're weird and there's almost literally no humor in the thread focused on SA and it's just posting people's addresses and #s or other people salivating over that

He specifically used the site Kiwi Farms which is currently doxxing all of our mods/admins/trans people as an example of a good content creator because of the stuff they were doing regarding Shmorky and said words like tranny etc that are currently probatable would no longer be so and he stopped two mods/admins from closing the shmorky thread despite it turning into a bloated unfunny nightmare. In my opinion.

Basically the main site admins and most of the mods rebelled and black baby goku destroyed the thread with longcat and uh this is still pretty fresh I'm not even sure how much I'm allowed to talk about this if at all. I'm sure the narrative will change as things evolve that's just how I've seen it so far, it's been an insane mess and I'm not really sure what to make of it

he took a good photoshop from them and said 'hey do more funny stuff like this' and everyone on the spectrum misinterpreted it as 'tranny human being death'

That photoshop was a photoshop from a 9gag thread that was totally unrelated and then they posted shmorkys face on it

I think Sid is actually kind of endearing and shouldn't be banned but people were raving over his photoshops in that thread and they were beyond terrible. Even the decently executed ones weren't good because there wasn't any humor behind them. "Shmorky likes poop and piss" has been a joke here since like 2009 and that was literally all it was except for trans discussions

Did you guys know barnacle jim has a long face. Let's make a thread where it's 250 pages of that but 2/3 of it is arguing about if it's bad to have a long face

This thread has been equally focused on good and bad threads since it started and we're in one of the weirdest ongoing sagas in SA history right now but ok, dude who's mostly only posted about mod drama in this thread

Possibly cos he also said "Hey it would be great if u guys could say tranny again cos that would make u funny". i think that was why it got interpreted that way?

He didn't even kind of say that. He made a clear distinction between using words in a hateful manner vs. making a joke. Calling someone a god drat retard for, say, their opinions on the Nintendo Switch is not in the same class of speech as advocating that disabled people be sterilized but one of those would get a probation whereas the other is a position someone could take in a lovely argument and say lovely things that have direct consequences for disabled people. Calling someone a retard over video game arguments is inconsequential even if it is distasteful.

He even gave a very clear examples. I thought it was kind of obvious what he meant, that it's okay to just casually say dumb poo poo but not okay to directly target users with words specifically meant to demean or hurt them.

(Not coming down on you at all, Nuebot, just replying to this in general) Some folks feel saying dumb poo poo casually is inappropriate too, that the word itself is demeaning even when there's no context to a specific person. The issue is when one says "hey, don't use that language, it's offensive" and the response is "OMG CENSORSHIP" especially when most of the words in question are slurs to marginalized groups of people.

I definitely agree on that point. I think moderating people just for using a word is extreme and I'm not a fan of it personally, but on the other hand I know people won't stop when asked to and will, most likely, go out of their way to call the asker that word.

Clickhole is pretty good, probably because their (and the Onions) writers are semi anonymous and don't really interact with their readers

Lowtax is also good he just responds to every single person who mentions him or SA and he's exhausting himself to death

She probably should've at least been banned and probated for like a week though cause she was making a billion qcs threads about the same thing and working herself into a paranoid froth about the people who were actively refusing to doxx her on the Kiwi site. She was losing her poo poo so even if she wasn't a troll she probably needed a loving break from spazzing out for a while
