"I never would've bet if I thought I could lose!" The day after Hillary lost was an amazing experience. I was reading whatever usual thread, and saw someone's av showing banned who I wouldn't have expected to be banned. I clicked through to see four pages of bans from the election. Four entire leper's colony pages of dipshits banned from toxxing for Hillary. I had forgotten that the US was having an election the day before.

It's kinda hard to miss that something's up, even if they only opened it to see if there's technical stuff wrong in addition to looking like poo poo. Taking a porn model and editing it is still weird but also lazy too Like that star citizen elsa porn guy

didn't they give a shitload of people who toxxed for hillary clemency with the reason being "it would singlehandedly cripple the majority of the current forums userbase" lol

Nah. Some mods tried to, and a mod set up a charity thread to allow people to donate to a charity to avoid ban/permabans, but Lowtax shut that down quickly and told the D&D/CSPAM mods to suck it up and start enforcing the Toxx. Thus went the hillarymen. ”the hillarymen” being a really weird way a weird CSPAMmer described it in SAD in a recent discussion, and I still find it so stupid as to be amusing

they were going to permaban everyone that toxxed for trump and were gloating about it beforehand but then tried to backpedal and make excuses when hillary lost as everyone was concurrently losing their minds after the 2016 election

political toxxes are but a reflection of politics posting, e.g. cringe as gently caress and dumb as hell.

Been said the 2016 toxxes had a genuinely observable effect on the forums culture and politics. Also hillarymen has been in use for like a decade, see also hillfolk Actually probably earlier given the whole hillaryis44 crowd who for some reason all ended up going full trump

rodbeard posted:I'm struggling to imagine somebody expecting Romney to win There was a goon who melted down extremely hard in WoW Goon Squad right after the election because him and his dad were huge Romney supporters and spent tons of hours trying to help his campaign locally. I think about that a lot still because of how funny it was.

Think it was Romney that inspired a tumblr called white people mourning Romney that showcased white people in Americana garb being shocked by the results. Someone else registered another tumblr called black people mourning Romney where it was just a blank page

I’ve been told that D&D prior to the 2008 election was hugely libertarian (I wasn’t around back then to see); the fighting over the original Ron Paul R  ution is what led to posters begging Lowtax for a safe forum for libertarians to talk unopposed about things, and so Lowtax set up Laissez Faire, which… did not go as the libertarian posters planned. Then Obama won the election and like 80% of them got banned for McCain toxxes and between that and the legend of Laissez Faire the board went heavily left/leftist as a result.

"hillarymen" was a Twitter thing, I think just about every bit of politics forum slang since like 2014 can be explained as "a dumb Twitter thing"
