There's something else. More sinister. If you know anything about Learned Helplessness in psychology, then you may know that it is something that can be reversed. But reversing it requires something very specific. The person controlled by it has to be taken through the motions of resisting not once, but twice. Only after a SECOND forced motion of resistance does the spell break, and the helpless subject begin to recover autonomy. The Left is desperate to prevent a second Jan 6th, because it might break the spell of "complain but obey" learned helplessness that they've been foisting on the conservative majority for the past half century.

Dudes like hentai because

Did you poll every dude on the planet to generate that take, or just the other figments of your imagination? I knew you weren't asking in anything resembling good faith but I answered you anyway.

Don't give the pedos that inch. "But she's 17 years, 11 months, and 29 days old bro so I guess you're a pedo too bro." They want that so fucking badly, because they want to twist the label to cover as many human beings as possible instead of just their fucked up, child abusing selves. If everyone is a pedo then no one is, and that's what all their cage rattling is trying to accomplish because they know that it'll eventually get them a blank check, like how the blacks and the gays and the trannies have now.

I answered you directly in the second sentence. People like it because its hentai, and they like hentai. If you're fishing for a philosophical dissertation on "why do people like a given genre of porn" I think you're looking for the meaning of life in a pile of leaves. Someone who likes hentai, and also likes Prisma Illya, is probably going to like Prisma Illya hentai (which would be loli) provided the specific work they're looking isn't using that person's anti-fetishes.

I'm not some big loli fan, though there are a handful of works and a couple specific artists that I've liked over the years. And as best I know its, "loli is just a subgenre of hentai, with the same appeal that normal hentai has." Nobody conflates it with actual kids any more than anyone conflates any other hentai with actual women, or poorly drawn Scooby Doo porn cartoons from the 90s with actual bestiality. Where it gets weird is when normalfags come out of the woodwork who clearly do conflate it with actual kids, which marks them as having some fucked up mental issues because lines on paper aren't people, and then these crazy people start yelling and judging and it gets ugly.

Imagine a bunch of old ladies barging in here yelling at everyone at how videogames are satanic and evil because you can play a mage in Skyrim "and thou shalt not suffer a witch to live." And fully and completely expected and demanded that you take them seriously. It comes across as the same level of insanity, but some normalfags are actually willing to lend an ear to their argument. Its dangerous not just to the Internet, but the whole scope of artistic freedom. And worse, it enables the pedos in their attacks on that subculture but the fart-huffing moralfags are too busy being smug to care.

Someone on Twitter started it a while back, and some of our friends have kept it mostly up to date.

You only think the equivalence is false because it torpedos your entire stance, and you know it. Playing Postal never made anybody want to go murder real people, and liking Prisma Illya cheesecake never made anyone want to abuse a real child. The entire argument is retarded on its face, which is why you knew you had to try and pre-emptively deflect it.

DRAWINGS ARE NOT CHILDREN. You definitely need Jesus but not in the way you're trying.

Seriously. The state of people in the world is scary. Not being able to tell fantasy from reality is insanity, but what do you call putting fantasy as being more important than reality? It's some blue-and-orange shit.

You're completely fucked in the head because you think there's an equivalence of evil in looking at drawings of imaginary characters and sexually exploiting real, living, thinking, feeling children. You sit there and let that sink in for a second. Take in the scope of that delusion.

Nothing for sure, but my personal guess would be that its the equivalent of an outlaw gang holing up in a ghost town. Someplace theoretically in the open so nobody is suspicious of it, but also abandoned and uninteresting so no one pays attention to whats going on there.

You're gonna throw up in your ears a little, but there's a reason. My understanding is that "fresh" CP on darknet trading hubs is said to be worth more than cocaine on a pic-for-gram basis. These people are NEETs with unlimited free time because of how much money they make on the side from exploiting kids like this. If you want to know how bad it is, apparently the confirmed suicide was a 13 year old girl.

And while I described the soyjak site as "small" it was only so compared to 4chan. It had 40k regular daily users and over a million pageviews a day. Last I saw the bidding for someone to buy the domain from the head pedo was approaching $10,000.00.

The ones we dealt with who went mask-off were all some variation of "REEEE IF I CAN'T FUCK REAL KIDS THEN YOU CAN'T HAVE THIS! SEE HOW IT FEELS BIGOT!" Most of the time they're just acting like smug moralist assholes until, as you said, "inevitably..."

There's a pattern that I've noticed and that I wish there was a word for. It's like. "I'm guilty of doing something that I know is terrible, and so when I want to accuse someone of being terrible, then the first thing I always think to accuse them of is the same thing that I'm doing because its always at the forefront of my mind." Its related to projection, but the thought process is more succinct and different because it gets applied to the most random situations where the accusation makes little sense. Its got vibes of the Telltale Heart, where instead of the guy just freaking out at the end he starts randomly accusing the police of being the REAL murderers.

I have a great deal of trouble providing links. The owner went into "Delete Fucking Everything" mode very fast when this got out, and the sites that were hosting the chat leaks and other definitive proof pulled them down under fake DMCAs and law enforcement threats. I was also a bit late to the party, only getting word a day after it all went down. What details exist are on Kiwifarms, but I've only been able to access it about 10% of the time and can't get archives to go through. The best I have is a bookmarked link to the discussion thread: https://sneed.today/threads/soyjak-party-the-sharty.145349/

There's also a summary on 8chan, but I covered all its points in the OP.

The material was in the last ~10 pages. Notably Josh has banned further discussion outside this thread and all links to the site, which AFAIK is a first for Kiwifarms to do.

Very well said, but you left out the scale. There weren't scored of fucked up votes, or hundreds, or thousands. There were scores of thousands, and quite likely hundreds of thousands of votes that were affected. Far more than the total needed to swing the election in the key areas where it happened.

That's why the media narrative was "no evidence of widespread voter fraud", the fucking bastards. It didn't need to be "widespread", it only needed to happen in a dozen key counties to make this happen.

This was my thought. I would have been all in for Trump 24 and DeSantis 28, but now Ron is slinging mud at the good guys and taking money from Rothschilds to bankroll his campaign, and I don't know that I'll ever be able to trust him. In this psycho clown world of ours I could literally see everything that he's done in Florida just being the biggest uniparty long-con in history.

I think you might be a crazy person.

Generally we try not to take down anything except for legal reasons. If you want top-down enforced moral purity based on the whims of the owner, then you should stay off of imageboards.

Look at the explanation that I linked you, please. All of it.

./hebe/ (and a cyclical thread on /b/ created by some of the same people) were banned over a year and a half ago. Disgust aside, they were refugees from 9chan who originally asked for a place for legal discussion. They got banned when CP kept showing up and their mods wouldn't do anything about it. You can read about the event in the rulings compendium here: https://8chan.moe/site/res/4481.html#q4721

If you're talking about our 8chan, there's a style guide: https://8chan.moe/.static/pages/posting.html

With your own software, my best guess would be:

<a href="https://herp.derp/hurrr">I want the link to look like this text</a>

Thank you Dom. Any chance of adding clickable links instead of just text? I'm unfamiliar with the .win software, but <href> tags might be all it needs. I'd suggest the same for the #GG wiki. 8moe's traditional GG resource links will be pointed here as well.

Also as a reminder to everyone, you don't need any kind of account to post on 8chan.moe. Just leave the namefield blank and hit post, with or without an upload. The easiest way to find the GG threads is to click "Catalog" on the /v/ boiard and then sort by reply count. Its often the biggest thread on the site even 9 years later.

Edit: And don't forget to check out /gamergatehq/. Posting is disabled since its an archive, but it is a MASSIVE repository of old digs and happenings from 2014-2018.

The only real, actual problem with kiwifarms is the natural lack of ability to enforce any part of that culture on their rogues. Yes, they say don't touch the poop. And out of 200 people who might latch onto a particular lolcow, 195 of them will follow that tenet. Its the 5 who don't who keep getting the site in the news, so to speak. This is fair to address because frankly the farms as a whole have no power to do fuckall about it or even monitor it, so they're not to blame for it. But it does happen.

There's also a matter of the times the community will attempt to create a lolcow instead of just finding and observing one. They single out someone who appears like they might be eccentric and start stalking them, which is really off-putting to a normal person. The normal person freaks out about it and KF builds a huge strawman out of them and starts making fun of that, which confuses and upsets the real person, which the kiwis take as "proof" that the person was a lolcow all along. It doesn't seem to happen as often as it used to, but its a really dirty thing that happened quite often in the past.

The prequels are a perfectly edible meal that wasn't cooked very well. The salad is soggy, the steak is burnt around the edges a little, they only have ketchup for sauce tonight and the rolls are hard. But the service was at least really good and the restaurant clearly cares about its customers.

The Sequels just had Gordon Ramsey gorge himself on Taco Bell for a week and then shit directly into your mouth while calling you a worthless pig who deserves it.
