I am making this thread here because QCS & SAD are largely ignored and deluged by a terminally online group of weirdos, making it worthless, and this concerns everyone who has been posting here long enough to have skeletons in their closet. I don't particularly give a drat about the Streisand effect it causes, since for the past year I no longer post on SomethingAwful and after this 24 hours that has proven to be a wise choice.

This is an alarm bell.

We live in a particularly troubling era for many reasons, and have seen 2023 become a flashpoint where reactionary weirdos are actively stabbing university professors for teaching gender courses and where the rallying call for right wing headcase fascists to justify IRL violence against their ideological enemies has become "pedophile groomers". For a forum which has become a haven for LGBTQ+ individuals over the past decade, it is insane to see this tactic being openly facilitated here by the moderation team.

quote:

Pedojacketing is a slang term referring to spurious or otherwise not-entirely-honest accusations of pedophilia. The underlying behavior predates the internet, note-worthily having been used historically (not to say that it has stopped being used this way as of 2022) as a method of demonizing gay people. However the term itself is fairly modern, and rose to public consciousness because of how popular aggressively searching for excuses to call someone a pedophile became as a method of getting away with abusing people in public.

This tactic, Pedojacketing, is deplorable. It is one of the lowest and most vile things you can do to someone out of spite: graphically accusing them of potentially the most heinous crime in our society in order to attack them from a vector which instantly generates revulsion and which most people won't try and defend, regardless of the context. In any venue other than an anonymous internet forum, doing this is a crime, where the victim could press charges, and rightfully so. In almost any other online venue not currently being run by Nazis, this kind of dialogue would see the posters responsible swiftly banned.

A year ago, I emailed the admin team directly to have two specific posts removed due to the extreme and graphic nature of the accusations within it. I included concerns that I was being actively doxxed on a CSPAM-related discord server, that certain posters had displayed an increasingly unhealthy fixation on my lived existence, and that I was resultantly concerned for my safety:

NeatHeteroDude posted:

It is a little lame to implement a forum-wide rule without like, debriefing about how admins let a famous anime thread run forever while it was full of people like Rime unironically talking about how much they liked to see children undergo sexual body-horror torture. That would be meaningful and make some people happy. Most of all, it would be a good time to introduce the new rule with context and some information about how we got to this point.

NeatHeteroDude posted:

Rime was very into anime featuring the sexual torture of children. I'm not concern trolling, and neither is anyone else posting about it. Is it concern trolling to talk about how enjoying pedophile torture porn is bad?

e: and it sucks to learn bad poo poo about people you like. I know lots of posters really respected Rime :(

The admins refused to remove the posts in question, bluntly said this was acceptable discourse on SomethingAwful, and a few days later elevated the poster responsible to a moderator. As a result I did not post on the forums for almost a year, believing it would eventually blow over.

It did not, and in the meantime Kiwifarms shut down - removing the primary gathering place for goons still high on helldumping and getting off on mentally torturing folks online. I posted for the first time in quite a while last night and woke up this afternoon to a series of chain probations on my account for a rather benign lengthy effortpost discussing the current state of wind energy, which was only written up at all because someone requested it.

The first probation used, for its reasoning, an image of two posts I made in 2017 regarding a show currently broadcast on Disney+ and which I had forgotten even existed having not watched anime in years - but which have been the basis of this ongoing attempt to paint me as a pedophile. To be clear, this is what Somethingawful admins consider "good enough" evidence to be graphically labelled as a pedophile:



But it did not stop there, I was directly PM'd with such accusations by deranged goons:




I PM'd these directly to an Admin, as PM harassment is supposedly bannable, and received no reply.

Moving on we can see a slew of posts such as the following over the past twelve hours, from various CSPAM threads and SAD:

Yeah no one did this. The dying biosphere is just creating pedo in groups in the forums

Janitor Ludwich IV posted:

Many very good people are saying that the racist pedo is fine.. maybe we are the baddies

Gumball Gumption posted:

Sometimes they post good stuff and sometimes they have really long mental breakdowns and post pedo stuff or eco-fascist stuff. Land of contrasts

Mekchu posted:

well that's because, as fluffdaddy put it:

but the lolicon, baby blowjob, and posting porn photos of underage anime characters is all above board for jeff because he seems to appreciate those more than larry's posting

so maybe if we ask those freaks to change they will

Mekchu posted:

jeff will show up to permaban all the ppl chain probing them saying that chain probing the lolicon poster is actually the more real and actionable violent threat

Upgrade posted:

Sorry the site owner disagrees, overruled

I do think it’s funny that the posters Jeff has personally intervened to protect are the lolicon genocide guy, the Ash Ketchum butthole guy, and the baby blowjob racism challenge guy


rodbeard posted:

I forgot that genocidal lolicon fan Rime was still around. Could we maybe quietly override Jeffrey's veto on his permaban?

Zodium posted:

rime is a racist pedophile anime liker who should be chain probed every time he posts in cspam, and biosphere posters should stop defending him just because he posts about windmills


To Summarize:
These forums killed helldump for a reason. We ran off anyone associated with Kiwifarms for a reason. At one point we accepted that allowing poster cabals to repeatedly abuse forum members based on posts made years if not approaching decades ago, on a forum which was once notorious as a total cesspool and one of the worst places on the internet, was not a great thing to facilitate.

There is zero reason, in 2023, in the current IRL political climate, to be allowing posters to baselessly accuse other posters of pedophilia, especially based on two posts made half a decade ago for, again, a show currently being broadcast on Disney+. There is zero reason for mods to be engaging in this, making bad-faith probations, and not have their stars stripped, it is a disgusting abuse of power. There is zero reason for anyone to be able to throw around the word "pedo" without evidence and not eat an instant ban for it.

These forums need to have a reckoning with what a small cabal of lovely and increasingly unhinged posters are doing here. This isn't going to stop, everyone here who isn't a re-reg has skeletons floating around waiting to be dug up. I don't particularly like to think about how I seemingly live rent free in the heads of some very obviously mentally ill individuals, a number of whom have displayed such a pathological fixation on me being alive that they have repeatedly posted about me during my year-long absence - especially given how the subforum responsible has generated several ideologically motivated shooters in recent years.

We have no shortage of posters here who are right now, today, at risk of physical harm in real life due to this exact rhetoric being broadly disseminated by neo-nazis and right wing extremists to justify violence. It is alarming that the administrators here continue to turn a blind eye to this behavior. It is morally reprehensible, legally questionable, and involves a topic which has historically driven a staggering number of individuals to suicide or seen them murdered.

What the gently caress is wrong with you people?

OP I read through your rap sheet, and nobody wants you here. Nobody cares what you have to say. You haven't gone longer than six months w/o eating a probe (or a self-inflicted ban) for a veritable cornucopia of awful poo poo.

Also OP you wrote/quote paragraphs naming/shaming your CSPAM posting enemies, but you never clearly say you're not into lolicon/pedophilia. Quote your :airquote: Pedojacketed :airquote: 2017 post for the GBS Court to examine, and accept the ruling

People who are very into anime have mental issues. Sometimes illness, sometimes deficiency, sometimes both. It effects their behavior towards others and society at large so they often turn to the internet for social interaction where all those issues cause problems for everyone again.

hey Op this you and your opinion on trans people?

Rime posted:

Nah. This is going to turn out like the debacle in the 80s where psychologists were convincing patients that their parents raped them. Or when we were castrating boys to turn them into girls at birth. Or any time we've meddled with the human psyche, really, our track record is garbage.
I can't wait for the impending oops moment, where an entire generation ends up hosed in the head because they have no idea what gender they actually are anymore, and demand employers use pronouns like Zys/Zy/Ze. The decline of the west is glorious to behold. :allears:
But, as in so many things, anyone expressing the idea that things are getting out of hand will just be vilified as hating the queers, even queer people!
