Something Awful/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Animation Age Ghetto]]/[[All Anime Is Naughty Tentacles]]: [[Something Awful]] is known for flaming and probating (sometimes banning) whoever likes anime if someone brings it up outside the anime subforum (mostly due to its reputation of lolicon and an incident in the anime subforum where a bunch of lolicons were banned). Before Zorak (the current mod for the anime subforum) came by and cleaned it up, even so much as having an anime avatar or having a post in ADTRW would get you banned on sight in certain subboards, if not flamed clear off the thread, and people still refuse to touch anime/ADTRW to this day. Zorak and the mods tend to ban people who won't shut up about espousing this mindset, though.

* [[Broken Base]]: Either you adore their Tongue-in-cheek [[Accentuate the Negative]] attitude and oftentimes [[Refuge in Audacity|bombastic]] acts of [[Troll|trolling]], or you hate them for those very same reasons. [[Rule of Cautious Editing Judgement|That is all.]]

** Most tropers seem to think that they have a point, and try to improve accordingly. Redditors, on the other hand... have we mentioned the [[Squick|child porn subreddits]] or [[Hollywood Atheist|r/atheism]] yet?

** Ex-goons (and some that are still active) known as the Something Awful Sycophant Squad used to mock goons with the same amount of gusto and sarcasm goons used on other sites. They still live on, albeit as "The New Effort".

** On a bigger sense of the scale, certain forums are very welcoming and full of people who'd you ''least'' expect to be goons, and tend to be the least likely to act anything like a regular goon.
