Maybe I do have a moral aversion to making money because here goes. You could have continued doing this forever if you weren't trying to pin the blame on another user.

It seemed to good to be true from your perspective, and well, it was. Why the gently caress would you buy this avatar for yourself? I know you are aware of the ongoing discussion about avatar traceability. The part that has gone unsaid is that I can look up when someone buys an avatar for themselves, and that's what you did here.

I guess I can see why you said this:

I wish I could say this is the first time you've done this, but it's not. You seem to have used the avatar system to direct death threats at yourself and tell yourself to kill yourself repeatedly and even said that you, yourself should "join the 41%". Why? Why the gently caress would you do that? Mirror universe Koala's March where she sockpuppets negative attention at herself instead isn't any more fun. I maybe get it a little bit up until the point where you start blaming other people for them and manipulatively pretending you don't know what they're referring to.

So yeah, I am averse to making money if it's from someone buying hateful avatars for themselves and trying to pin it on other people.

fake edit: lmfao I swear on my forums life I'm not responsible for that KM avatar - it wasn't there when I started typing this post. Someone else must have puzzled it out.

To help folks catch up, The story so far:



The context:

rodbeard posted:

Rust has his own history of being lovely towards women he disagrees with especially trans women which is why his thread got gassed and remade without him to let some women speak for themselves. The reason neither thread lasted was because nobody had any actual examples of misogyny going unpunished.

Since this thread is supposed to be about GBS feedback I think this guy has a good idea on how to handle mega threads to make them more newbie friendly: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=4027765&pagenumber=1&perpage=40

Never bought an av for anyone else. And yeah I'm going to take a break because clearly I really need one

Edit:

secret confession:
i bought spr the km avatar

i had just refunded the re4 remake because it wouldn't run on my computer. i had noticed spr had their avs changed a whole bunch in just one day. an unusual amount of times. i had never seen an av changed so many times in such a short period of time on these forums.
what was especially odd was a few things - usually if someone already has a demeaning red text av and they go into another thread and piss that thread off, that thread won't buy them ANOTHER demeaning red text av about slightly different subject matter, because they already have a nasty red text av about denying genocides or whatever.

i also noticed a similarity in style between the writing in spr's redtext (the one screencapped in jeff's post) and some of the posts spr made in cspam's "thread for straight up doing misogyny".https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=4027202
I also thought about a post spr made about how all the mods secretly lover her posts and are pming her encouragement and so forth - that reminded me a lot of KM.
That got me thinking about "forums main characters" and what kinds of things people who love drama on internet sites do. Different types of sockpuppeting and so on.

Would I do it again? well, i had no idea jeff was gonna make that post. but if i hadnt gotten lucky and jeff hadnt posted his take down, i would have just been out $10 and regretted it and felt dumb. don't be like me goons. there but for the grace of god etc. im DONE with forums drama.

edit11: closing in on the record here



Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:

lmao OP, well done. For the record, she also bought the "ASK ME ABOUT DENYING GENOCIDES" title. That one seems much more in line with her trolling style, at least as I understood it before yesterday, but it's funny that it's what made you suspicious.

per the timestamps literally 5 minutes separates the OP's avatar purchase from Jeffery's post

that's insane. like hitting a home run and it lands in the cup holder of a car in the parking lot

Sham bam bamina! posted:

I think you'll find it was actually 55 minutes. 6:43 UTC to 7:38 UTC. And if they were the same hour, the avatar would have been purchased five minutes later.

some plague rats in private posted:

Also btw if you're chronicling it: I never bought any of the mean girls avs. Never bought an av for anyone else either. And I didn't buy the Dasha av but I did add the red text because I thought it was funny

I don't like the idea of certain people waving away every instance of transphobic avs with this when it's definitely been and will continue to be an issue outside of her actions until some sort of account restrictions are put in place


Endorph posted:

yeah lol you can already see people revving up their 'everything bad thats ever happened can be pinned on this' engines because how dare you imply these forums have a problem with transphobia whenever a trans person disagrees with people

if youre speculating anything remotely in that direction, shut the gently caress up


FirstnameLastname posted:

i reached out to spr last night and asked why because, well, why, and she gave an explanation that seemed very genuine for both the previous av buy, and especially the v. recent ones that weren't excusing anything and is deffo (unless she's lying, idk her outside the forum at all but even in the context of all this behavior, it seemed legit) going through some immediate and serious IRL poo poo that still doesn't excuse acting like that, but does explain it in a way that isn't "lol just bein insane n wicked" or sidestep-handwavey sociopath 'no see it's okay because" kinda poo poo, she owned it and seemed to be pretty torn up and ashamed over it

the stuff she told me makes what she did it all come off as much less malicious or planned, and much more like someone struggling to cope and kinda spinning out trying to distract themselves and impulsively doing poo poo they know they shouldn't and wouldn't normally do. if it all turned out to be lies then lol jfc, that's what i get for believing anything ever, but i really don't think it was

she didn't ask me to say anything and I'm saying this stuff mostly because she said to me that she wanted to explain to everyone itt, but i suggested just Loggin Off for a while & not reading anything cuz she just isn't in a good place atm

but at the same time until she is able to explain things herself n decides to, i want to give at least that much info cuz as fuckin mad dumb and bad as this all was to do, with context imo it's not deserving of becoming known as koalas march jr and being university reviled or perma'd or whatever

ofc nobody has to believe this because it's just my own view of what i was told, plus I'm being vague and giving info secondhand from someone who's just burned everybody's trust hard; I'm not asking people to give it a full pass or even forgive her, just saiyan that it's prolly worth holding out on totally hating her forever over this before she can let people know what was going on, bc there's some hugely extenuating circumstances involved
