I have always viewed this place as pretty safe honestly. i am not a big youtuber though and i am sure being one means you have to basicaly be careful about everything you do because creeps and assholes but the SA community itself is mostly decent.

Regardless, I do feel bad that SA can't be a safe spot for people to discuss things they care about. It's certainly been a safe haven for me compared to places I've frequented like The Escapist or TvTropes, which were just awful. It's the only place online that I've felt comfortable talking about things that bother me on a personal level, and the fact that I am comfortable enough to confide with strangers about my troubles is reassuring. I hope that the people who leave can find a place where they aren't hounded or stalked or harassed, because only Nazis deserve that kind of psychological stress.

Like I said a couple pages ago, that's just not how the internet works anymore, and I don't see a way how that comes back, short of breaking up the tech giants into a ton of different companies.

yeah. it does suck but id say this place probably is one of the safer places online. its well moderated and pretty viberate community but its "dead" and uncontroversial(resetera, neogaf were lighting rods for that kinda stuff) that its not a big target for weirdos and trolls. i have seen what other sites do say about us and its mostly about mods/lowtax/old drama and we arnt really actively hated so thats nice.

Seriously. People under gross pressure deserve a place to be safe. I guess I kind of nursed this dumb hope that this thread could sometimes be like a very small release valve for people who make videos. It seems like such a constant stream of petty bullshit.

SA’s the only place I’ve ever let my guard down. I’ve posted here under one or another name since I was in high school.

getting a phone call from a dude who hated me enough on another forum to scrape whatever info he could so he could find the "real me" was certainly a freaky loving thing in the mid-oughts. actually having a public face on the internet, I can't imagine how unsettling it must be, especially these days, ESPECIALLY for women.

At the very least, there's private chats and WhatsApp groups and all that sort of thing.

This thread allows folks to be less vague than they'd generally be on social media so it can be a bit of a release valve just to shoot poo poo about whatever as long as you don't care about who's reading. But not everyone has that luxury obviously and you gotta be a bit mindful, not just of the creeps and A-Logs but of how much you actually choose to share. Chances are there's always someone out there jerking off.

I remember someone who got Helldumped here back in the day got so angry at the person we now know as Jeb Lund that he called his house to threaten him. Except he didn't get Jeb, he got his wife.

Given how much of an rear end in a top hat Jeb was (and still is to a lesser extent), it's tempting to chalk that up to a case of "there are no winners here."

if i remember correctly. the girl had private discord and used dudes to buy her stuff or some poo poo and tried playing them against each other and blackmail them or something. she ended up going to a concert with one of them and another one of the dudes figured out where she was and lured her off and murdered her. the whole situation was loving horrific and depressing.



I havent heard that term in loving years. not since my lovely teen days on boards of ill repute and thats why i love this place, because those places were loving awful because if your facade broke even once, you would be the knew punching bag.

as long as he doesn't think they are legit deep works than i don't care. i fully admit i grew up with them as kid and as bad as i think they are now, i still have soft spots for parts of them or at least concepts. that being said i will never understand people who think they are amazing and deep and better than the originals or even the new movies.

You should still be able to do it. On desktop, it'll be under 'SHARE', and you have a checkbox that will let you mark it to change the URL to add a time code.

no, you're confusing things, the 'SHE HAD A SECRET SEX DISCORD WHERE SHE MANIPULATED POOR INCELS' was what the IMC crowd made up, he then tried to pretend they didn't by being all 'drat girls be safe out there' but the facts pretty well sync up with the original story of 'this freak got violent with someone he felt he had a parasocial entitlement to'

The arrow circled in red opens the 'Share' box, and the area circled in blue is where it shows the URL and the 'Start At' checkbox and time selection.

Like I said, I'm on the desktop site, and I'm using Firefox, so maybe there's an extension or user script I have that's allowing me to do it.

Yeah I have no idea what we're doing differently then. I'm also on Firefox and the option isn't there at all, that part of it just looks completely different. But I'm on my laptop so maybe that's the difference? It'd just automatically go to desktop in that case.

tbh I'm happy for her that she's freed herself from the bonds of this site. I'm on here a lot less than I used to be, but sometimes I wish I could just completely quit, and not subject myself to the incessant pedantry, baroque slapfights, and weird self-flagellating.

This is especially no place for known people. I suspect within the year hbomb, donoteat, and Dan will completely stop posting here, and they'll be totally justified doing so. this is the place that tried to ruin Neil Ciceriega for no adequate reason, that helped demonize a lot of harmless internet subcultures, that skeeved out Kate Beaton. I know most of the people responsible are gone, but their spirit lives on here.
