The thread disappeared :<
Killed by Toady, presumably. Tried to help keep a reasonable discourse going, my efforts seem to have been in vain. Seems it really is too flame worthy even for Bay12. Disappointing.

Which 'that thread'? There were 3 last I checked.

[Loud Whispers]

I'd be sad if I honestly felt there was worthwhile discussion in there.

Didn't see any worth in what I said?

The boss Toad has been very stealthy thus time, I mean he did ban magicmissile under the table as well

What the Christ is wrong with these people?

Number 4, started today by a perhaps overly optimistic Escaped Lunatic.

E: Okay, DDoSing The Escapist? Now I've got a problem with this.

Passion swings both ways

If you can't shut down all discussion on a thing you don't like legally, just DDOS them! What could possibly go wrong?

Has nobody heard of the Streisand Effect?

[SealyStar]

YouTube commenter decides that legendary long-forgotten 80s song is "one of the best songs ever made." When informed song is from 2013, he changes his mind and says it's "only an alright song".

Generally the people that cause it have no idea what it is.

This is even more ridiculous, because the Streisand Effect has been in full swing for weeks at this point. There's already been censorship on 4chan, Reddit, etc. of this whole mess and it's backfired spectacularly.

This is so ironic it hurts. Isn't the side aligned with 4chan supposed to be DDOSing, not being DDOS'd?

4chan is like a box. It might be helpful and hold stuff, it might be ignored for being a box, it might get attacked by people who eat boxes. Regardless of which way its acting, its still the same box.

It also turns out that ThunderF00t (an anti-religious, anti-bullshit YouTuber) got suspended from Twitter after doing nothing more heinous than criticizing Anita Sarkeesian.

This whole GamerGate thing is so ludicrously WTF that I can't even.

[Wolfhunter107]

Mmm. Sounds like flamebait.

[Orange Wizard]

Maybe Anita just hates bunnies?
