stone cold posted:wrong, but good try People were complaining Lowtax was racist in QCS and when he asked if they wanted a sub-forum named after their thread, they said yes...and later went ballistic when he realised it seemed kind of racist and might be in danger of reversing TGRS' existence.

It's how I remember things going down in QCS. If there was another conversation where the TGRS regulars wanted the forum closed despite wanting it in the first place, then

I ended up on the wrong side of it once from a Chan and woke up to a bunch of screaming voicemails on my phone and weird messages on Tumblr. The funniest part was that they posted pictures of me in the thread and one person actually expressed surprise that I look like a normal dude instead of some Cheeto-stained fat dweeb. didn't you stalk chris chan

Solice Kirsk posted:Nah, Frasier ruled. You were supposed to find the brothers a little off-putting and weird. Because they were. Also for a 90's show I think they handled trans issues and gay rights very well. I'm neither though, so who knows. The joke of Frasier seems to be that while the Crane brothers think they're upper-crust snobs, what they actually are is gigantic nerds who picked opera, art and wine instead of Star Trek, anime and energy drinks. They're also probably both on shitloads of self-prescribed pills.

Maybe you can show me the big backlash TGRS' regulars had in response to the creation of the forum, then? As I said, all I remember from QCS is the people posting in there now asking for the forum when he brought up the idea, then getting defensive when Lowtax implied he'd go back on its creation.

If you don't like TGRS then don't post there. It works both if you think the place is a SJW infested hellscape or a racist ghetto created to keep POC away from the rest of the forums. No one has to post there. So don't. Simple solution to a simple problem.

As far as forum stories/sagas goes, the TGRS Sundown thing was pretty funny imo. Iiirc, a list of undesirables were made, based on nothing other than who had been petty enough to vote a chat-thread that wasn't intended for them 1, and those people were then temporarily prevented in posting in TGRS for like a month, and then proceeded to post insane conspiracy theories and political manifestos about this great injustice.

And man that was a pain in the rear end to find, Lowtax's posting history is ridiculous. Just even on that page there are multiple people saying they wanted the sub-forum to stay, so.

I mean I'm glad you were able to cherry-pick a post from almost 150 pages into a thread but maybe you should look at what was going on in those 150 pages to get a general understanding of how much effort was involved in making TGRS something other than "FYAD for racist D&D outcasts" Even the post you quoted mentions it in literally the first sentence: Koalas March posted:I love it now all the terrible rule breaking poo poo posts are gone. I think Blackguy32 would be a great IK to handle the night shift while I'm gone too, since everyone wants to come and troll here. Grandmother of Five posted:As far as forum stories/sagas goes, the TGRS Sundown thing was pretty funny imo.

Weirds me out that the mere idea of people wanting TGRS to exist is controversial. Like, even after you pull away all the poo poo that surrounded it, you're left with a harmless sub-forum...but talking about it makes you a grimy alt right shithead/crybaby liburel sjw depending on who you're talking to.

There's a lot of assigned tones and made up ideas to make what happened fit whatever side you want. No one can talk about this subforum on a dying website without making up imaginary politics for people they disagree with. The idea that lowtax lets someone have an entire subforum, which you only post in voluntarily, and people call it a ghetto or act like he forced minority posters to only post there (what some people said on Twitter) is dumb. Being given a subforum is a favor. It's also dumb that you cannot make fun of the giant list of people who can't post without being called an alt right racist and be assigned the idea that you want to post there and upset you can't. Just watch. I'll be called one, even though I'm not on it. Many are the gbs shitpost squad silent majority avatars but that's not all. No one has ever justified what I've seen of them, repeatedly banning a seemingly harmless poster Neuroliminal and saying that it shows that he was privileged when he told about growing up living in his car while happening to be white. The subforum was basically demanded, because apparently somehow they felt that they were being punished in dnd for their race and needed their own forum to discuss racism. Theres now less than ten people ever posting in the subforum at once.

I Said No posted:It's pretty obvious what the author was going for but there was some commentary the author posted which boiled down to "Well I didn't say it was rape, if you think it's rape then maybe YOU'RE the rape fantasist Other posters would defend him and I absolutely hated feeling (at the time) like I couldn't post about how gross the story was without eating a probation/ban. What people seemed to ignore/forget was the same author had other entries about a demonic figure that seduced/raped women that was a black racist caricature, then doubled down with some additional story about an Asian trans one. Jack of Hearts or something like that. I hate that the additional repugnance stuck with me all these years because it means remembering that story. Now I need to read about the cute orange slime and the plane that thinks it's a bird and Fred the self-insert. If only SCP were all like those.

If there was another conversation where the TGRS regulars wanted the forum closed despite wanting it in the first place, then What happened is that Lowtax said he wouldn't make Koalas March mod of DnD again (because the storm of complaints started over her 6er probations), but that he could create a subforum where she could do whatever, and she said yes. I don't think it was anybody's preferred outcome, but disappointing everybody is the foundation of a strong compromise. steinrokkan has a new favorite as of 17:29 on Jul 12, 2017 |

TBH they're not always overtly sexual but I feel like a lot of SCP articles are basically secret fetish/brokebrains confessions. You can only read so many Fourth Stimpire-level-detailed descriptions of the various gruesome deaths related to the objects before you start to wonder about the mental state of the writer  poptart_fairy posted:There is enough room to talk about several things in the thread, friend. The humorous aspects of the TGRS Saga have been discussed multiple times in this very thread as well as many others across subforums. If you have some juicy previously unknown info that makes it more hilarious by all means go for it, but if you're just trying to prolong this dumb slapfight about who was the most mad about TGRS please just start another QCS thread about it

Grandmother of Five posted:I got curious and clicked the probation on your rap sheet that I figured it was about, and are you sure that the reason you were probated wasn't because it is insanely weird to contribute to calling people out as not being black or not being black enough? Maybe I clicked the wrong one, though. Well, that particular poster likes to emphasize her own race and call people who argue with her a bunch of lily white bigots. Constantly. Including posters who turn out to be black. So, it's not so insane to mention race when that's in the conversation already. The only difference was my quoting from other threads, which was Helldumping.

When I said "let's change the subject from people who are angry about TGRS" I didn't mean change it to "people who are angry about a specific poster in TGRS" turn left thread  e: although I guess if someone actually compiled all the Tiny Bronto-induced meltdowns people have had that might be a pretty funny saga e2: Space Crabs posted:as someone on the list who has never even been to TGRS i feel like you are kinda misrepresenting what happened. It was more just a weird hitlist that most people found out about after the fact. I was probably on it for mocking koalas march with images of white people playing tennis or arguing about how everyone she thought was racist wasn't actually racist since she was busting down and probating other minority posters if she didn't like their opinions.
