It's like I can emphasise with the mischief of the time. I can still laugh and chuckle at all those terrible things we did. I don't start weighting them on some morality index. Sure, wouldn't do it nowadays, but I wouldn't shun it either.

why try to argue with people then? if you choose to be nostalgic about it instead of wanting to learn from it then that's fine, but i don't get why you can't respect where other people are coming from. maybe instead of telling everyone else they're too uptight and then try to turn a total non-issue into a debate, you could've just walked away from this and avoided the headache. there's no reason why your thoughts about the community's past can't coexist with how everyone else feels.

i like how the word 'evolved' was being used as a pejorative

I hold dearly the way we used to use slurs in funny ways in the past here in GW. IT WAS EDUCATIONAL.
You guys seem to be embarrassed by it. I'm not, ok? I like to remember it, and I think you guys are a bit too PC about it.

its ok to remember the community's past, but it's more important to understand those things for what they were [horrible ][/horrible] and not to romanticize it as carefree youth.

or maybe I do? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Vj2iQSeboA

this is painful to watch. all he needs is a fedora and a segue at the end into a bit about atheism.

lol, is that your impression of me? I have a bit more of uh... depth than that

whether or not your posts have more depth than that is irrelevant. my whole point was that you feeling repressed by "political correctness" is the problem. i dont care if your racism is supposed to be ironic or not. "ironic" racism still normalizes racism and perpetuates racist ideologies.

Thing is, I dont disagree with what you guys are saying. I practise that in RL.
All I say is I still find this forum as a space where I can have a more relaxed, careless, PI, approach (outrageous comedy)

yeah but the fact that you feel the need to unwind in such a way is pretty alarming imo!! i act "polite" irl too, but never in my life have i ever felt repressed by it and never have i felt the urge to go on the internet and scream nigger nigger cunt faggot nigger just because i could.

So besides Games master jasper, what other epic trolls did GW do? I don't remember a whole lot tbh.

there actually is a long, embarrassing history of people doing epic trolls for teh lulz. i'm glad this is at least one thing i am totally guilt-free about and never participated in.

i want to murder my teen self

it also makes you more prone to going along with a group, and groups are usually led by the most vocal and vicious.

yeah this is definitely true. i think the one thing more than anything else that younger people seek is acceptance and belonging to something. i think that's especially true for the average gw member, whether because they were a nerd, or weirdo artist-type, or lived in a small town and couldn't find like-minded people to chat with about similar interests.

it's not that being younger makes you more prone to being mean, but rather than it makes you more prone to doing or saying stupid, regrettable shit. in this case acting like dicks to people unnecessarily, but there's plenty of other things the community did that we're all collectively embarrassed about. eg. NIGGAR GONNA GET RAPED IN PRISON or w/e the fuck being a meme that a bunch of people laughed about at one point. or arguing with people about racism while calling them 'retarded faggots' completely unaware of any irony. i even remember a very old topic where some of the most intelligent members were basically using the south park defense in their use of the word faggot. also remember our epic jone rap battles? because i sure as fuck don't want to.

if people were saying we were mean then they were right. there's a reason why everyone is embarrassed of their stupid teen post history. that's not to say the people driven out weren't fucking dumb either, but i think we all could've been a whole lot less douchey about it.

that is like the very definition of being mean

i think this is my favorite ggz related thing



even in their own self-created webcomics she's depicted as a paranoid sociopath

It goes a lot deeper than that though. She did some really fucked up things, including to individuals who she lived in. She took in one of the members of the old rpg2knet crew and ruined his life over the files for some rpgmaker game.

what

yeah i never really thought much about the wishmoo thing because i was just a kid at the time, but in retrospect the thought of some severely fat, mentally ill, middle-aged woman harassing 14 year olds irl over some disagreement about rpgmaker was beyond fucked up. like there was a chance she could have actually done some real damage to a person's life. webbeh getting in trouble with his principal over "online harassment" for posting a (largely benign and stupid) comment on her site was just the tip of the iceberg.

Man first the feminism thing, now hating on MGS the only thing that is holy.

What next? STEAK? Are you going to denounce steak?

LMAO YES. WHAT NEXT, BACON? ARE THESE MOTHERFUCKERS GONNA DENOUNCE BACON?? NOT ON MY WATCH. *cocks shotgun*

WORST SCHOOL MEMORY? ALL OF THEM LOL HIGH FIVE

torque is a work of art. the director treated it as a joke and most of the actors were in on it except ice cube who apparently took the role seriously and thought he was making a genuine action movie.

(if you don't want to watch the entire clip make sure you at least skip to 4:00 and watch the motorcycle duel between pepsi and mountain dew)
