When was the last time we saw Spoonful of Bromide? I remember them showing up every few years and being like "omg it's really them they're really real" after hearing so much of the saga (I do not remember SoB's proper pronouns, their entire persona was extremely confusing to me)

They used to show up in the terrible webcomics thread, but the last I remember was at least a year ago, I think, probably longer than that.

I googled Shredded Moose out of curiosity and uh... this is what someone was so literally obsessed with reviving that they commissioned other artists to pick it back up after the original creators stopped? It's really terrible misogynistic gaming garbage that isn't funny, or even attempting to be funny. And it's not like those sentiments are even rare on the internet. Just bizarre!

IIRC SoB was an elaborate troll.

Doesn't make the whole thing less hilarious, though. Although if it's real, I do hope Starfish didn't get mulched and spread on Bromide's garden o' crazy.

I haven't read the thread since it was a living thing, but I feel like the through line ended up being that SoB was a self-hating trans woman that got weirdly jazzed by that particular flavor of webcomic misogyny.

I think lightning doesn't strike twice, and it's very unlikely that someone would be able to pull off the TobleroneTriangulation a second time. I will assume all deeply mentally disturbed posters are legit until it's revealed that they were just an avshalom rereg

I feel like SoB is the kind of Internet person where everyone hopes they're an elaborate troll persona, because the alternative -- that their persona is an authentic expression of the dreams and needs of a real human being -- is just too goddamn depressing to contemplate.

:goku: is a thing of beauty and a joy forever, at least.

I think it was in one of the previous incarnations of the terrible webcomics megathread, and perhaps unfortunately in the one that got deleted due to copyright violations. There might have been some spillover into GBS, too.

SoB didn't at all limit themselves to SA, I think they became a minor internet celebrity/'lolcow' and prone to googling themselves a lot and ending up in arguments in all kinds of wretched corners of the internet.
And I think they're one of those cases where they attempt an outrageous troll persona but their genuine mental illness and assorted issues quickly shine through when people don't play along in the way they want. (Goku pants was definitely one of those things where an entertaining overreaction when nobody's taking the OP seriously turns into a dogpile and new meme)

IIRC Shredded Moose was mostly unknown when it was running but because notoriously mostly retroactively for being disgusting, crass and surprisingly well-drawn all things considered. (this was back in the day when you'd be lucky if a webcomic wasn't a sprite comic or didn't revolve around some gimmick to make up for how the author obviously can't draw)

Back when there was still a trans mega thread in e/n, Bromide made a re-reg and made idiotic posts in there, and that was, like, a year after the whole webcomic debacle. So either they were legit trans and just absolutely loco in the coco, or really dedicated to a long con troll. IIRC a bunch of posters called them out for not being trans, though (someone correct me if me wrong).

Either way they're loving nuts.

IIRC, SoB's descriptions of being trans were all along the lines of "I've always just felt so ~nurturing~" and also pretty fetishist/chaser-y, combined with a lot of other obvious issues. Obviously none of those factors should disqualify someone from being "really" trans, but I think posters expressed some reasonable doubts. (I can't imagine it helped that the trans thread in E/N was constantly attracting trolls and bigots.)
