It's weird how we've gone from FYAD posters being probated for nothing despite good behavior to FYAD posters being (up until a few days ago) unpunished in spite of awful behavior.

I remember there was an FYAD poster who just kept on getting probated for asking questions about caring for chickens in the chicken ownership thread in PI, because the mod was just so sure that it must be some secret ironic joke.

Seriously, despite all the utterly horrible posts that have come out of all of this, it's hella reassuring to find out that the cool people on the internet whose posts I like reading are actually still cool in the face of bigotry towards a group of people I belong to. I lurk a lot of places and I've seen stuff like this happen before, but never ending in this way. It's very heartening. I smiled a lot at lowtax's facebook post :3:

I was trying to remember why TheCosmicMuffet sounded familiar, then I remembered they were banned in the "bad tabletop miniature thread" a while ago:

TheCosmicMuffet posted:

Is this a real question? Because the ones from that crazy game about spiders that use naked torsos to lure victims has nicely sculpted breasts for days. Especially on the breast slug monsters made of breasts attended by unclothed nubile maidens--many of whom are killed while rearing the creature's young.

Sexual behavior pervades everything. What I worry about is that we'll spend so much time demonizing the product and the target audience, that we'll lose sight of the pain that this crass enterprise masks. Wouldn't that wargamer with a cabinet full of sex prefer a partner and kindred spirit with whom to play strip-40k (roll 2d6 and consult the table for the area of the body from which to remove clothing--if you roll doubles, roll twice--then roll a 'strip' dice against the toughness of the clothing--for each strip, roll any applicable 'layered clothing' saving throws to determine how much clothing is removed). Or even a menagerie of rotating partners in a 'tournament' style swinging environment? Wouldn't the simple addition of showers and lockerrooms to public gaming facilities do much to bring this dream closer to reality, and promote a society free from shame and depravity of a mind starved for affection?

And what of the companies who make these things? In a niche market with otiose marketability, isn't it nearly impossible to differentiate oneself? If Star Wars wasn't so appealing, wouldn't the urge to produce a TIE with a topless Howlrunner card, just to make ends meet and hopefully get your game into someone's hands be overwhelming? Recent policy changes at my job have put a term limit on my contract in June which I had not foreseen. While I should be able to find new work, nevertheless, the stress of this deadline is getting to me. Especially now that I'm trying to buy a house with my wife. If I could secure my future by putting breasts on something, wouldn't I?

I would.

I haven’t been active in or checked in on FYAD for years but the central truth to all of this is that somehow, for all these years, FYAD was the moral center of the forums. Almost every time someone was banished from the community for being hosed up, FYAD posters were behind it. And FYAD posters were probated or banned for mocking or even gently disregarding the insane goofy ideas of other posters. I didn’t like the transphobic stuff I saw that led up to all this turmoil but the facts are the facts.

It will be interesting to see what happens moving forward

someone in QCS posted about the possibility of Russians loving the site up and got dogpiled, but honestly that's probably worth genuinely looking at even if it doesn't turn out to be what happened

like, Brown Moses posts here a lot and either used to be or currently is a mod, and the Russian government has been very loving angry at him and Bellingcat since pretty much the time he started that; some idiot in the GRU might very well have picked up on this and decided loving up SA was easier than loving up Bellingcat directly.

I can't pretend like I'm a big ally or anything but I'm a gay man who has always been attracted to femme guys. One of my exes came out to me as a woman and we continued dating during the early parts of her transition. We are still very close even though we are no longer romantically involved.

I was absolutely disgusted by FYAD's response in QCS. Having seen my ex go through her continuing transition (I guess it doesn't really end, you are always trans and aware of how that plays into how people perceive you once you change how you present yourself) I learned how it was a whole new thing from them previously coming out as a gay man when they presented as male. They were learning how to be themself in a world that didn't accept them, and they shared some of their pain with me and at times all I could do was hug them and tell them how strong they were.

Because they are. It's a big step. I have always admired feminine gay men and transfolk because they are brave enough to be themselves in America, a place where we nominally champion freedom and then condemn people who step outside their prescribed roles.

The fact that not a single FYAD or anyone with them could drop the mask for a second and just thought it was another trolling opportunity absolutely disgusted me. I really hope that forum gets nuked, because it does not encourage healthy behavior.
