As long as the bills are set to auto-pay without an abusive drunk that refuses to get a job raiding it for hearthstone pulls and $100 chili airlifts the forum revenue would build up into a nice stockpile that kept it running at this same terrible state in perpetuity.

What I thought was abuse was a simple mistake. They were just stressed out / half asleep / not paying attention / drunk and simply moved their body in such a way as to accidentally exert force on me while shouting angrily about something unrelated to me. I was simply wrong and they are sorry for how i Interpreted things. Thom12255 posted:Didn't Logan say she left Lowtax's house? If she actually recanted then it'd be easy for them to prove it by posting a video of both of them together talking about it lol. I don't think it matters how emphatically she swears it was all a misunderstanding when she was posting "laying on the ground while a grown man looms over me, now in a hotel" and the cops got involved. It's Abuse 101 that the victim is convinced Incident #432 with Woman #4 is another in a long line of serial misunderstandings from an endless line of women who refuse to just listen to the man and understand they aren't being abused.

ManiacClown posted:If he doesn't want SA/the forums I'll take it/them assuming it's not all in massive debt. SA as a forum pays for itself a few times over. Lowtax has said this when he was asking for money "B...b...but it takes almost two weeks for the forum to be in the green each month now!!". All of the money goes to supporting Lowtax's lifestyle. If the forums were "in debt" then the person who hasn't had a job in 20 years and has no other income wouldn't be able to pay hosting for them and they wouldn't exist. What you would be getting with the SA forums now is a shadow of it's former self, probably burning radium stupid at like $,$$$/month hosting while bringing in like $1,000 a month profit and most parasitic webmasters can't live on $12,000 a year if they want to lease GTRs and buy $100 cookies.

raspurtin posted:I honestly don't believe that anyone on these forums in any way enabled Lowtax to abuse Logan. Abusers abuse people due to problems they have in themselves, not because of money they make from their jobs. Assigning guilt to forums users does no one no good -- Lowtax could lose the forums and the website and end up slinging burgers at Wendy's and still be a domestic abuser, would that be your fault?. The people who watched Weinstein's movies are not guilty of enabling his abuse because they bought a movie ticket. If we had all the information in February and we all defunded the forums back then, he would most likely have still abused his next partner. It's a pattern of his behavior, not a result of our behavior. I think everyone paying Lowtax, for no reason, so he doesn't have to work is enabling him to do everything he does. We are paying for lawyers to hound women that are hiding in domestic violence shelters. Lowtax isn't Something Awful and people being incapable of figuring that out and giving him millions of dollars because they like the forum he is associated with has enabled Lowtax to do whatever he wants to do, which is lease expensive cars and beat women.

Filthy Haiku posted:No loving way. And people didn't make a stink about this? What the gently caress? lowtax still has(had?) a strong cult of personality here due to people mistakenly thinking he is Something Awful. When that image was posted initially during the last domestic abuse saga people responded claiming either that it could possibly hypothetically be fake therefore it was impossible to say it was real or that kiwifarms also had acquired it and they are bad. Therefore don't talk about it because it makes Lowtax (And in their minds Lowtax=Something Awful) look bad. These were the same people agreeing with Lowtax that his second wife accusing him of assault was a liar, because it makes Lowtax (And in their minds Lowtax=Something Awful) look bad. That real special logical wizard poo poo goons pull where they just decide the outcome they want and convince themselves through elaborate forum posts that's how things are. It didn't help the mods and admins have been punishing people trying to call him out on this stuff.

Get A Job Lowtax Maybe when you have to exert yourself for the first time since the Clinton administration you won't have the energy to slap your wives around and then convince them it's their fault. You might also be less likely to harass them with lawyers while they are hiding in battered women shelters if you are the one that has to pay for it.

CharlesThunder posted:i am just trying to make sense of this. she recanted. weirdly. but the accusing post was also very strange. I didn't know both of his ex wives also accused him of this poo poo. the recant could easily be lowtax saying "something awful is how we maintain our lifestyle and you're loving it all up because I lost my temper one time, now go on there and apologize or you will be left with nothing" The thing about that recant, is it sounds extremely familiar to anyone else who has had to rationalize being abused in their lives "I was crazy, and in a panic and I disturbed and surprised them. I'm at fault." "They thought I was attacking them and retaliated BUT IT WASN'T RETALIATING because it was an accident!" "I'm grateful that He calmly and rationally explained to me, the irrational crazy person, what really happened. " add to that all of the other abuse poo poo, and that line from the first wife's police report where he told the cops he "just wanted to relax with a few drinks after work" and this poo poo is a badly written stereotypical lifetime original movie.

acems posted:you didnt even get anything on the forums for the patreon whats the loving point Lowtax has been milking the fact that people equate "Something Awful" with him. The forum they love and the community they think about gets confused with the guy who originally registered the domain. When Lowtax shows up and says "I NEED MONEY OR ELSE" the community hears "SOMETHING AWFUL NEED MONEY OR ELSE" which led to things like the 2019 fundraiser where goons thought it was their duty to support the forums by donating to the patreon. More money to the patreon means more better for forum. Everyone is now realizing that the millions of dollars generated by this forum have all been completely wasted by an abusive drunk who has done literally no work and provided nothing to these forums other than requests for more money when his porsche payment makes him feel bad for a $100 cookie airlift expense. Hopefully that myth is dispelled now. SA could have been upgraded and modernized at any point in the past if anyone other than a giant parasitic leech had ultimate control over the domain. Someone with an actual job who didnt need to subsidize their entire life with forum income could have probably just applied 2-3 months of forum revenue into an upgrade

Renwick Customer posted:remember the forums are in freefall and you can post whatever you want! Mods and admins ruined this forum. Lowtax registered it, the community built itself, then he disappeared to cash checks while a never ending line of posting tyrants took turns driving away tens of thousands of people. In a twist of fate this is now a good thing because if the forum had been more successful then lowtax would have just been given more money to waste while abusing women. However, this will kill any offsite as the brokebrains that want to be the new posting tyrants in the new forums are just going to continue this dumbass loving mentality mods gave themselves where they are unquestioned, unaccountable arbiters of thought and opinion that dictate discussion like police that get mad and eliminate you if you criticize any action they decide to take, because of their position giving them ultimate discretion over you. gently caress off and resign burt, reene and the rest of you trash idiot assholes

Realtalk, Here is the only way forward for the forum. No offsite will work as they are always at one extreme of the forum spectrum. Either a pussy hugbox tumblr like BnR where thought policing is the entire point of it's existence, or extremely comically racist like SomethingSensitive. 1.) depose lowtax somehow? 2.) institute a double jeopardy leper's colony, where i personally decide if a mod action was justified and if not their punishment gets applied to their stupid idiot rear end instead. Not one minute more of this unaccountable crouching rear end in a top hat hidden bitch moderation. 3.) undo all bans and permabans. There has been a decade of stupid petty rear end in a top hat tyrants like FactsAreUseless ruining this site with their stupid petty rear end in a top hat tantrums. We can re-sort out the true shitheads that deserve bans on the second round through, with the double jeopardy system. If AATrek isn't in jail somehow and came back you'd better believe that's a permaban. If Burt Sexual throws yet another tantrum and tries to ban someone for making a funny joke then he is getting thrown to the curb until he quits coming back or stops having crybaby tantrums. Problem solved. 4.) Lower the cost or eliminate the cost of most forum features. Once the giant parasitic leech has been removed from the revenue equation then someone who isn't a gigantic piece of lying poo poo can explain what really happens with money around here. We can keep traditional features like the membership cost or something (maybe at $5) but if we aren't buying Porsche and mansions for useless drunks that refuse to work then we can probably scale back and make the forums a bit more attractive with a free archive, smilies, in-site ads and avatar changes. 5.) Upgrade the forum once #4 is figured out. Unfortunately since it's impossible to remove Lowtax from this forum this is impossible. He registered a domain 20+ years ago so he deserves millions of dollars from other people's content and thoughts. The only actual way forward is an offsite, which won't work. Even if we don't get a horrible extreme like BnR or SASS then we would just have unaccountable mods/admins ruining the place from the start instead of taking 20 years to kill the momentum this forum's community had with their actions.

Lil Swamp Booger Baby posted:Problem is when you go around calling pussies and saying corny stuff like "thought policing" you also sound like a nimrod. IMO all is doomed and on a good forum you would have every right to whine about what I said and I could say that you are being a pussy too. You don't have to have a complete lock down on the posted words of other people, trying to chase a posting utopia where no one is ever offended by anything anyone ever says anywhere, to avoid the ultraracist chaos of SomethingSensitive. This is why Bread and Roses is a joke and it's why I'm mocking it. Goons just have trouble with anything that isn't BLACK or WHITE. You can roast me for using "Thought Policing" then I can explain that I'm not using it as a wicked Republican takedown of THE LIBERALS or whatever, just that i think the literal definition of the words applies to what happens at bread and roses. Then we can further a conversation on the baggage certain terms have and learn things. Or i guess over there I could be banned from existence.

It's when you got unemployed "Journalists" like FactsAreUseless that the scales tipped too far one way, since he could spend 22 hours a day permabanning people for arguing with him in thirty subforums simultaneously.

Lil Swamp Booger Baby posted:Yes but what is your metric for that. In my opinion there shouldn't ever be poo poo demeaning trans people or minorities for their identity in any way whatsoever, there were plenty of people on this forum that thought that position was too extreme for them despite just being basic decency or that they could just calmly "debate" the validity of these people's existence. This is actually a pretty complex topic that I think B&R gets wrong. I probably will risk a permaban myself with my outrageous opinion on this but ...transgender people are people and people can be assholes. If you are willing to draw the distinction that a transgender person can be an rear end in a top hat completely unrelated to their sexual/gender identity then we can talk. No one should be abused, dehumanized, discriminated against or preyed upon in any way. But if someone is doing something, like the sexual predation by B&Rs admin staff members, then their actions are what is important not their identities. Like, small example here. Someone comes into a thread, is harassing other people or just being extremely hostile in tone and I retaliate against them does it matter if they are a republican or a democrat? straight or gay? trans or cis? When this person tells someone to "gently caress off and commit suicide" instead of engaging with the discussion or posting any worthwhile content if I then tell them to gently caress off and quit being an rear end in a top hat is that only fine if they happen to be straight? Unfortunately some names I recognize on Bread and Roses thought that because they are transgender they should be shielded from the entire concept of criticism, in any context. You can't say they have bad taste in movies. You can't say they have a wrong opinion on anything. And a forum built around that foundation is hosed from the start even if they get an influx of survivors from a sinking Something Awful. Me saying this does not mean i have any negative opinion toward any transgender person. You don't know my life or my identity either and I don't feel like it's relevant to share. SA was kind of lightning in a bottle. You aren't really going to be able to replicate any kind of balance like that since it's 2020 and all that's important is identity and being mad as hell and fighting the enemy. Objectivity is extinct.
