To the "TL;DR" Gen Z newfaggot NPCs below:

If you've not read this before, read it. It is one of the most important, if not THE most important online document from the era of GG because it explains everything about our opposition that you could want to know. I am not shortening the explanation behind how the online left was so organized and able to tear us apart from approx. 2011 - 2017 when we really began fighting back. It went up to and INCLUDING the US government, such as the person responsible for the Seth Rich cover-up, Paul "Stonetear" Combetta.

If you can't set aside 5 minutes of your day to reading the fucking image, then A) where the fuck were you 10 years ago when we were on the frontlines, and B) you shouldn't be here. Go to TikTok if you're allergic to reading.

Fuck you faggot it's a wall of dense text. Stop being a pretentious prick. You haven't been a member here for even a year yet. And you dumb fuck, you TL:DR a smaller post you made earlier, so why are you whining about being asked to TL:DR a leftist level meme wall of text?

They can't figure out how to screenshot taller than the monitor size so they maximize the window and screenshot whatever fits.

I'm surprised it doesn't have their browser tabs at the top.

People hate on zoomers but it was the millennials who were all "I love reading omg!" and it was always Twilight, Hunger Games and Harry Potter.

It also fits with how Zoe Quinn, bisexual bpd whore addicted to helldump (goon subforum adjacent to FYAD), was able to call in so many favours getting half the internet censored during gamergate, including the reddit comments graveyards and mass censorship on 4chan.

Thanks bruh, Oh yeet. This ain't a summary. Well, I'm reading this on my phone, and can't see the tiny text, dude

Edit: As a Gen Z I should have remembered, Goon has become slang for a masturbator, and the word gooning has replaced fapping

I didn't read it but here's what chatgpt says:

TL;DR of Comments:

  1. OP post: "Goons" refers to members of the Something Awful (SA) forums, known for their trolling culture, evolving into groups on sites like 4chan and in games like EVE Online. Their behavior has shifted from ironic anti-trolling to becoming the very thing they mocked. Goons are now often associated with coordinated online harassment, extreme political correctness, and subversion of online communities.

  2. Anon 1: Describes how Goons' influence spread to Reddit, particularly via FYAD and Something Awful. They created echo chambers, normalized extreme behavior under the guise of satire, and manipulated online discourse by mass reporting and banning dissenting views.

  3. Anon 2: Links Goons to broader internet manipulation and political conspiracies (e.g., Benghazi, Hillary Clinton). Claims Goons use platforms like Reddit and SA to promote specific political agendas and suppress opposition through coordinated actions.

  4. Anon 3: Posts a meme image of Alex Jones with a thank-you message, sarcastically or sincerely acknowledging the previous posts.

  5. Anon 4: Claims FYAD was banned from SA.

  6. Anon 5: Notes that while FYAD was banned, FYAD-like behavior persists in Reddit moderation.

  7. Anon 6: Argues Goons are socially isolated people who find power in trolling and groupthink, driven by a need for identity. Compares their behavior to cult-like fanaticism and calls their ideology empty and based on spite.


General Thesis Being Presented:

Goons, originating from Something Awful, have evolved from ironic internet trolls into influential, ideologically driven online manipulators who infiltrate platforms like Reddit to enforce conformity, suppress dissent, and promote political agendas, often driven by spite and a lack of real-world social connection.

As an old fag I knew a lot of that already, and as a former long term eve player who was actually in goonswarm alliance, I knew about the eve part of it too.

That's the behavior they nabbed moot with too. He was allowing GG discussion until they sent him a girl to fuck and blackmail him.

That's why he left 4chan.

If it seems to good to be true lad, it's is. She doesn't want your dick, she's just willing to do what it takes to destroy your very core.

"until they sent him a girl to fuck and blackmail him."

When are people going to learn to resolve these situations by leaving the blackmailer sliced up, strangled and rotting in a ditch?

SomethingAwful goons are also where the term "troon" came from.
