The story of the artist behind the hitlerpot is kinda interesting. It's OT, but here's an article.

This was fascinating. It's like how some goons latch on to the idea that everything awful is couched in so many layers of irony that it must secretly be genius.

And people still cling to the idea that the artist's beliefs aren't sincere, just performance art. The news just made me more suspicious of ironic bigotry, or bigotry played off for laughs.

Jesus, 2 weeks, 2 handles of liquor and 123 pages of....something. God drat, I've spent waaay too much time with you people. I recognized an embarrassing amount of names. Met some of you IRL, many more through games, video chat and the "lets text each other threads". A very common theme has been alcoholism, drug abuse and insanity. If it happened in TCC I was there. All the stories have become wildly exxagerated. Phenazepam aka "Da joose" was hilarious but at the time there were numerous serious posts constantly pointing out how dangerous it was. The ocarina that transported you to the hospital was a particular brans of fake weed. "Have you tried LSD my nigga" was equally overblown. The addict, sunburnt aphid was very likely full of poo poo. After dozens of "go to rehab" posts Hondarider casually mentions replacing heroin with LSD and people flipped poo poo. He was insane so he flipped out, doxxed whoever he could and ran away. Ironically he just gave me all of his info and was like "Don't doxx me bro". Maybe i should have, i was hosed up. I don't know. Peddogate on reddit was amazing. Being given a box of free drugs in a Walgreen's parking lot was surreal. Meeting up with local goons and getting wasted was loving awesome. Slept on a lot of great couches. Leaving a goon in a bar while he took on all the bouncers was fun. The death threats, the creepy hookups. Shaking down drunk college kids for blow. Multiple instances of impersonating a millitary officer. Wouldn't trade it for the world. Had a lot of great times here.

For what it's worth, sunburnt aphid came back and posted at least once, years later. I don't think anyone brought up who they were. I wasn't gonna call attention to her but was happy to see she was alive enough to post.

Looks like the post is in the archives and not her post history so I guess you'll just have to believe me.

Sorry for essentially a double post but sunburnt aphid always struck me as a half rear end troll. The heroin thread was the dog catching the car and not knowing what to do with it. She claimed to be injecting several grams of black tar heroin a day while sleeping on the streets. Lots of actual users pointed out how insane/unbelievable her numbers were. Half a gram of heroin a day can leave you half awake and not posting. She claimed to be doing 5-8 grams a day. While posting coherently from a phone and not explaining how she earned 300-1000 dollars a day. Everyone involved came out looking foolish.

Also: vendagoat, you and I video chatted quite a bit. I was under a different name. I was chugging scotch and shooting up my apartment with a bb gun while shirtless. I don't remember what we talked about.

Yep. I really think that's why the saga ended so quick. The lie was too big. She claimed to be unable to find a vein, hard spots from sleeping on concrete, constantly in withdrawals. Yet her phone posting was readable and was boiled down to "Totes wanna do heroin, oh well. Back to sleeping in the streets". A real addict would have hawked the phone and be voraciously gobbling dick for dollars. When actual goons post during actual withdrawals it usually details trips from bed to toilet and how they wish they were dead.

To be fair trying to argue that the site had become "too liberal" and instituting a widespread moderation coup in response to that just days before Trump's inauguration was some really, really unfortunate timing in hindsight. Especially right on the heels of saying we should be more like Kiwifarms only to have them doxx a bunch of our users and then shut down.

Eh, I'm pretty sure Lowtax's point is that the Something Awful forums, the forums of a comedy website, should tell jokes again. Photoshop Phriday was basically THE thing that this forum was known for. "Hey we should do that again" is definitely a good idea.

Kiwifarms turning out to be babies is...I don't even really know what to say about that. They couldn't even do doxxing right so I'm kind of thinking "hey so how about that Photoshop thing? That was a good thing we used to do. Can we do that again?"

Sometimes "why do we even need bullshit laws and authorities ruining things? lets just build a good community by being responsible and doing what we want and having good times and being cool to each other" has to happen so that the survivors can say "ohhh, so thats why we have a social contract". It's like the cycle of life.

That's how some of my favorite threads and sagas start, "Some goons/libertarians/anarchists want to make a utopian commune/hackerspace/forum/seastead! :munch:" because its like watching a new performance of a classic vaudeville skit. History may not always repeat itself, but it always rhymes.
