Mammal Sauce posted:Have we ever had any idiot lottery winners on these forums? The classic "win a few million and broke in 6 months" -types. Did JDR ever buy an account? Granted, that wasn't a lottery win but cashing out of the dot com bubble at the right time and then blowing it all on anime merchandise and possibly real estate scams.

Nah, don't think she was ever on SA. Highly unlikely she'd want to come here, and if she had she'd have melted down and gotten banned over something for sure. I kinda dunno how to feel about her given she actually is super loving creative, but barely able to function.

I'm somewhat certain she had a Portal of Evil account, but we're talking about my fleeting memories of 15-ish years ago when I messaged her a couple times before the Unicorn Jelly wank blew up in a huge way (I THINK before the Kokoro Wish comic went public).

Yeah I didn't think so, but I just didn't know if she ever bought an account to defend her poo poo here after being on a weekend web or something.

I have a degree in film. I can pontificate out my rear end all artsy fartsy about film. I also realize that C/D is a shouting chamber and rarely have threads I want to read in it. However, because I'm not a layman on the subject, I can say with certainty that SMG is not a trollish contrarian fool at all, but rather he's the absolute worst kind of film student--one who also is a philosophy student and crosses the two wires to be as absolutely ridiculous and myopic as possible. His lens of choice is the ideas of Zizek, as is obvious, and if you don't see things through that lens, well then you're obviously wrong. That sounds like a troll move, but actually you don't have to work very hard delving into film theory to find other people with their heads at similar distances up their own asses. I have a book on my shelf right now that makes an awful long effort to claim, with authority, that every single horror movie ever made is either about castration anxiety or penis envy. Obviously the author is a classical Freud follower, but he's just as long winded and sure of himself as SMG, and just as bonkers most of the time.

Is the last guy the same person who has the huge Silent Hill wiki devoted to how everything was about circumcision that Voidberger mocked??

I could never decide if SMG was just in that deep with that kind of stupidly pretentious criticism or was just a weirdly dedicated troll satirizing that kind of thinking, so thanks for laying that saga to rest for me. *never goes into CD again*

The response:SuperMechaGodzilla posted:The appeal here is understandable: the basic narrative is of an college-educated man inflicting violence against an innocent. The narrative is an exaggerated version of the familiar chain e-mail, where a precocious young child (or United States Marine) stands up before a sputtering liberal college professor to tell him that abortion (or terrorism) is actually wrong, causing the whole class to applaud.

I can stand being Stymied, Shaggared or Fishmeched but please don't quote SMG again. While I'm here; who can remember the tale of Lowtax/Forums and THAT WOMAN? I remember it was some games-related drama but the specifics elude me.
