I haven't been on SA for years but the person who gave me my previous av as a joke felt guilty for doing so and decided to get me a non-shitty av

yes, he recorded it. im still surprised anyone would think that made them look good

also it came out that he htought he had a secret vagina hidden in his taint. or something. it was weird

im not embarrassed that i remember this becuase how the gently caress could you forget it

That's Chris-Chan. Come on cumshitter, study your course material

yeah i feel like an idiot for the voice training thing. i just remember asking about it and that was the explanation. i feel especially stupid as someone who has dated transfolk at various phases of their transition and none of them had mickey mouse voices

but i am really sure shmorky's ex posted about the hidden vagina thing and that is not exclusive to chrischan. his ex talked about how he would bring it up during sex and diaper play

well as somebody who was a sad loser who spent high school on those types of sites(not that one). its true. these dudes will loving stab each other in the back if they think it will get laughs and its basicaly walking a lovely type rope that erodes the gently caress out off your self esteem. in the old irc type chats, i saw the nazi poo poo slowly switch from ironic to well, this. glad it bit me in the rear end and i stopped doing that poo poo.
Early SA was full of exactly this poo poo, especially FYAD (but really everywhere). Back around the turn of the century, this place (and Portal Of Evil) had almost the exact same purpose and mission as Kiwifarms. The only difference is that doxxing was expressly forbidden. It wasn't always successfully controlled, but it kept the healthier posters, even in the cases of "targets" they really disliked, from going into full stalker/harasser territory.

The more mentally healthy posters eventually drifted from self-promotional mockery of the internet's weirdos towards trying to understand them and why they were different, which was far more rewarding and constructive for all involved. The less mentally healthy posters, by contrast, couldn't turn the edgy tough guy act off, even for an instant, which is why they turned inwards with Helldump, and then later to offsites of Helldump once that forum was closed. Some of them eventually pulled it out of the brink and got better, while others fed off each other's psychoses and became vastly more disturbed than they otherwise would have been.

Yeah, Helldump was basically one big training ground for the worst behaviours on the internet today. Ex-Helldumpers can frequently be found in the middle of internet shitstorms gleefully egging everyone one while avoiding blame themselves. Especially in the days when they turned on each other, it was a great place to learn how to manipulate entire communities and set them on acceptable targets while avoiding blame for worse behaviour yourself.

Yeah, if you (generic you, not you-you) are an idiot and incapable of doing a basic web search, you might decide that a falsetto is an acceptable feminine voice. But we live in a world with free voice training resources including apps that will track your progress

People who make the sign just to say "ok" and aren't white supremacists will also get fired, you are literally the person arguing "this is actually good for Bitcoin, because"

nobody has ever been fired for doing the ok sign who wasn't a nazi, because when nazi's do it they can't resist mugging for the camera and will also often just outright tell you that theyre doing a coded nazi gesture

i have already found a dozen ASMR youtubes based on this and im going to listen to them now. will report back with results.

i dont know if lowtax released it but he got with the meth mouthed permabanned crazy girl who posted pictures of herself in her apartment showcasing her meth mouth and her complete lack of furniture but inexplicable ownership of a few swords

then someone posted audio of the two of them fighting. it sounds ridiculous, and i feel a little bad for mocking it, because shmorky is trans and hes doing the "talk in a high pitch voice all the time" thing to train his vocal chords

that said, it was super funny listening to a woman pop off at shmorky and then hearing a guy doing a mickey mouse voice saying, "Well ho hey there, let's be reasonable."

Ron Howard: neither of them were reasonable

Someone's already beat me to this, but voice training for a more feminine voice isn't doing as high a pitch as you can. You do raise your pitch a bit but the vast majority of effort is focused on eliminating resonance from your voice, which entails learning to speak more from the head rather than the chest. Shmorky is just dumb as poo poo and started doing a cartoon falsetto instead of seeking out how to actually do it right.

it takes a conscious effort to make the three fingers for a W like in the dumb virtue signalling chan bullshit, whereas more natural usage has the pinky extended much farther than the other two, because those fingers are irrelevant to the focal point which is the thumb and forefinger's meeting point

when used while speaking, it's more like a fist than a WP

it's why in a lot of pictures you see of people flashing it, they're doing so by pressing their fingers against an object or their arm, because it's more difficult for them to make a proper W with those 3 fingers. This was most evident in the picture of the lady behind the Nazi whose husband played dumb but turns out they're both super in bed with the fash

It's equally terrifying that an alarming number of direct off-shoots and terrible individuals, who were rightfully mocked and laughed at for the time, have gained incredible notariety compared to SA.

The thing that keeps SA healthy is that Lowtax has continually decided against making money and going deeper into debt. Fark somehow got it's owner rich and that was just started as reposting SA Photoshops with the fark watermark.
