Lowtax ventilating himself has kind of drawn that contrast into sharp relief. I am in contact with her and I let her know. She's feeling much like M and I, but I don't think she would be up to a public comment here.

Old SA wasn't a good place, there was a lot of anger there that was part of the beginning of the disaffected angry Gen Xers\Millenial trend that got Trump elected. I like to live somewhere in the middle where my opinions aren't formed by the echo chamber, but some of my opinions wouldn't fly here because of lovely things I've experienced.

It wasn’t a month ago that a somethingawful poster failed to kill a nazi by wildly firing a pistol in public, which seems pretty similar to something I’d expect from 2004 SA, except for the “at a nazi” part.

Like SA started in a world where people in the gay-straight alliance at my high school still used 'gay' to mean 'dumb' unironically and without realizing the weird hypocrisy. Yeah, I did cringy dumb poo poo when I was a kid for the lolz but just because I thought something was funny like 16 years ago doesn't mean it's actually both still funny and was actually funny at the time. People grow up and poo poo changes, and that's not some great defeat. The idea that your humor at 15 should be the peak of what you think is funny or insightful for the rest of your life is fuckin' dumb as poo poo.

I've been rattled since I saw the news this morning...even more so because I've been away for so long, and thus missed a lot of the story. For all of its downsides, I retain many fond memories of the way this place used to be, way back when.

But at some point it ended up spreading to “I make fun of you until it’s straight up harassment” like in helldump or kiwifarms, so I understand why things are how they are now here. SomethingAwful in it's prime always took things too far. Like trying to destroy people's lives too far. It was pretty funny to me as a 19 year old kid, now I look back on stuff I posted back then and shake my head. 19 year old me supported the Iraq War and 37 year old me is a hardcore socialist. I hated SplitSoul's guts back then and now I probably agree with 99% of his politics. The weird thing with being a long-term poster on a place like this is you can look back and see how dumb you were.

We disagree completely probably on a lot of things, but I hope you get better, seriously fellow SA poster, nobody deserves to live like that. If Lowtax created anything it was a place for people not of the same circle to pass by on the internet. Wherever this places takes you on this journey after it implodes like Digg or a space ship into the sun, hope your life turns out better in your own eyes.
