I distractedly watched a few episodes of Mobile Suit Gundam (the extremely 70's one), and is the main character's superpower really that he just read the user manual?

If you want to know more come to the Gundam thread but yeah, he reads the instructions to what is the most powerful robot in the world at the beginning of the series.

I ... don't think I do? It was on for background because I was in a "giant robot" mood while reading the excellent giant robot RPG, Lancer. But thank you :)

All I remember of it (aside chuds being chuds) was that some goon over in Batman’s Shameful Secret who drew an edgy post-apocalyptic Charlie Brown comic strip wound up being one of the few people I’ve seen get a 100,000 hour probation on here as a direct result of acting like a shitbird in the thread dedicated to discussing it.

He wasn't banned for the comicgate thing, he was banned for going into a QCS thread to say his threadbanning from Comic threads was unjust, and then he showed his entire racist sexist creepy rear end.

That thread was wild. It started when a different goon made that QCS thread to ask why Death Ray got banned from all of BSS, when he was only booted out of the Comicsgate thread. Trans goons dropped by to point out that Death Ray barged into the trans thread just the other day and was being a transphobic and ableist shithead. And then Death Ray started posting in the thread with his shtick of using smug :decorum: as a thin veil for his bigotry.

3 pages in and Death Ray drops a hard-R N-bomb. Because he apparently believes everyone is secretly dying to use slurs, you just need the courage to do so. :psyduck:

After that, he doubled-down on everything, including being a creeper to trans goons, until a mod finally got around and banned him. It was one hell of a thread to read, that's for sure.

The cherry on top of that was Death Ray admitting he had already decided to no longer post in the Comic Strip thread, and the OP going "But that was the reason I made this thread in the first place! What did I even defend you for?! :psyboom:"

From his posts in the old CG Discussion thread in BSS, Death Ray was trying to angle himself as The Most Important Person fighting against Comicsgate, despite folks who actually fight CG like Renfamous never even mentioning him. Another part of why he got banned from the thread was how he kept trying to bait posters into interacting with him by constantly hinting that he knows the surefire secret to defeating the alt-right forever, but he won't tell until others beg him for it.

Yep. The last page is basically "SO you popped this guy, which is good, but hey look at what these fuckers are doing in this thread over here".

Which led to a QCS thread that got shut down, another QCS thread... and the dominoes fell until the Groverspy saga of PPJ seemingly capped it off.

Then someone was like "Yeah I think maybe we can bring FYAD back down the line" and it's just Battlestar Goonlactica forever and ever.

His grand opus was "I was wearing my Weapon Brown shirt and Gangster D. Cripman said 'yo my man is that a [hard-r]?'

He steepled his fingers and waited for the goon outrage, biding his time so that he could unleash "AH, but the man saying it was BLACK! Hypocrites" except a bunch of people figured out his bait like 2 minutes after he posted it.
