It was something like "Let's draw e/n stories as comics". It included the rescue of an abused cat and a farewell to Vilerat, so sometime in Sept 2012.

exploded mummy posted:which goon had his girlfriend od and then just watched and liveposted about a football game while she was unconscious close by There was also a goon whose roommate died and she couldn't be bothered to investigate what had happened for several days. She just kept saying things about how her roommate hadn't left her room in a couple days. Her roommate was dead for about half a week before she called someone.

Wasn't it something where she and the roommate weren't close and it wasn't insanely unusual for her to go a few days without seeing him? Even so, dang. Also, the E/N comics thread spawned  , a pretty good smiley even if it sees very little use.

She just kept saying things about how her roommate hadn't left her room in a couple days. One of my old roommates was going through a really rough patch and we didn't know if he was in his room or not and it took me a solid two days of waiting to see if he'd come out before I screwed up my courage enough to walk into his room prepared to see him dead. He was at his parent's place in the burbs and just wasn't answering his phone.

Anne Whateley posted:I don't know if it also happened to someone else, but I'm a ladyposter and it happened to my ex. I told the story awhile after it had happened iirc, though, it wasn't like a saga with live updates if that's what you're remembering. Nah, it definitely happened with live posts and it definitely wasn't you. Kind of amazing that it happened to your ex too though.

Drunk Nerds posted:I totally remember that. They were talking about all the things they missed during their WoW addiction, iirc. I think they realized their issues and got treatment. Yeah, that sounds right. Dad had been wasting away because of cancer and they just weren't there for him, including missing the deathbed, but at the time he posted he had sorted his addiction, I think. slinkimalinki posted:It was the lady- chat thread in GBS I believe. A tiny little thing about this story that was super sad and goony imo was how the two people involved had been roommates for a really long time, something like +5 years and the Goon still couldn't bring themselves to just check on them. Can't remember how it came up, but they didn't know their birthday and a lot of basic stuff; a weird little thing, but I remember it blew my mind that you'd live close to someone for that long and really just not know a thing about them and be so absurdly adverse to interacting with them. The Goonette chat threads are one of the re-occurring SA threads that gets a lot of weird attention from lurkers and weirdo creeps. My favorite bit was some lurker revealing himself in a Goonette chat thread for some unfathomable reason, by deciding to rank thread regulars based on his guesstimates on their breast-size based on selfies and weird speculation, and when he got called out as a weird creep for it, he then attempted to placate the person calling him out by bumping her up on a "better" spot on his boob-chart, like that was some kind of award or honor. pentyne posted:It's the Trans thread, so there was always a fair amount of contentious discussion, but the attempt to rally around a certain case didn't exactly strike a cord with anyone else. That thread is an excellent case-study in how you get a mix of people spilling in when forum stuff goes down. Like, the TGRS subforum and various onsite LGBT spaces can have just as ridiculous stuff happening in them as the rest of SA and most posters just wanna occasionally gawk and poke fun at Goon projects and weird, funny & interesting posts no matter where they are across the +60 subs, but there absolutely are people tagging along with weird axes to grind and hateful/obsessive perspectives. At least, reading just a page of that thread I see a poster who later revealed themselves to be a fully fledged moron by doing dox poo poo.

Does anyone have a copy of this Goonetitties chart? I want to see where I stack up  e: I just wanted to make a dumb joke, I don't really need to see this. haha it would be so weird if you showed me that, right? hahaaha so weird. I mean, what if you just showed it to me, LOL hahaha yeah that would be CRAZY man! like haha, you so wouldn't...would you?

Wasn't it kiwi farms that spend an insane amount of time doxxing trans goons? On a goon discord that has come up on how awful that was where people that were not out yet were having all their personal info posted online because people wanted to punish them for being trans. Some people just want to be assholes like that and it doesn't surprise me if someone is doing that in the trans threads still.

The Beginning of the saga: with a rebel yell she QQd posted:So I haven't seen my flatmate in 5 days, and there is a really fuckin terrible smell coming out of his room. Honestly if I lived with someone who felt an urge to check on me every time they didn't see me for a day I'd start getting annoyed. She goes on to talk about how the only sort of knew each other because of her sister and just happened to end up rooming together. Dude would frequently leave for days on end and they lived inverted lives.

A disturbing amount of vocally 'progressive' people will enthusiastically throw black, gay, trans etc. people under the bus the moment they espouse a view even slightly in conflict with their own. See donut emoji twitter.

Garrand posted:The Beginning of the saga: That's fair and it is tricky to gauge this kind of thing from an outside perspective, but they also go on to say that they've known the person for more than 20 years, and being adverse to even knock on their door after 5 days when it smells like someone died just seems completely absurd; not to mention the "if he is dead no biggie" comment" as if needing to deal witha corpse in your apartment would be less stressful than needing to talk to an alive person for half a minute  UCS Hellmaker posted:Wasn't it kiwi farms that spend an insane amount of time doxxing trans goons?

Some people just want to be assholes like that and it doesn't surprise me if someone is doing that in the trans threads still. I'm not exactly sure what Something Sensitive did and what Kiwi Farm did, and I don't think it is really worthwhile to bother making the distinction because both have done weird dox poo poo targeted at trans people. I have the impression that both basically embody the worst aspects of SA, really; mock threads turning hateful and obsessive.

Anne Whateley posted:Yeah, they weren't friends, it was just a craigslist roommates thing, but they'd lived together for years at that point. The roommate was an older guy, a quiet alcoholic, and once or twice a year his sister would come in and take him to rehab or her house to dry out. So when the guy wasn't around for a week, or two weeks, he just assumed that had happened again. He claimed that there was no smell, but when he opened the door, it was all flies. This is the worst magic realist short story

It was just one image: The dad and the daughter in tight, tearful embrace, as she's saying something like "Please don't let our home get stinky again, daddy" or something like that. Just as heart-wrenching.

Just point them to the Wikipedia article. Very first sentence: quote:The Slender Man (also known as Slenderman) is a fictional supernatural character that originated as a creepypasta Internet meme created by Something Awful forums user Eric Knudsen (also known as "Victor Surge") in 2009.[1] It is depicted as a thin, unnaturally tall humanoid with a featureless head and face and wearing a black suit.

Does anyone have a good rundown on Romeo Rose? I was talking about goon-related trainwrecks with some other goons online, and couldn't exactly what happened with him, other than the creepiness, being a rapist, red shirt, and his insane chompers. Oh, and the date someone went on with him. SAclopedia's giving me nothing, and Google has it all over the place.
