Cacowards 2023 Doom's 30th Birthday

Dude, it's hard to spare any of you empathy, especially knowing how the administrative circles of DW operate. Literally - look in the mirror.

Sperging below:
And, also, antisocial? are you projecting? Doomworld by itself - is antisocial. The Admins and jannies are all constantly policing how people speak, you're required to conform to a specific view (1. It's concerning the man whom made the game you all made internet-careers from) (And yes, not everybody will agree that autogyphiliacs are women, surpriZe). You cannot disagree with the moderators, or else you're banned (which is something you don't really see here, despite how argumentative things get here, 40oz rarely ever banned someone for simply talking back). Also, certain opinions are tolerated only if a specifically chosen person expresses it (Harsh criticism is usually only tolerated if a community figurehead spouts it, or the subject is unanimously agreed to be inadequate). Even WAD creation is pozzed. (1) Making sequels is not for everyone (2), ignore any other sequel of a long discontinued WAD more prominent members made (1) (Whether with permission or not), it's not important, eh? And have you ever thought that your own behaviour may make people inclined to say "Disparaging" comments about you, or anyone else here? In your case, people hate you because you're jewish pedantic, condenscending, and always assume moral high-ground, even if there is none to be taken. You ever skim through what you write, Steven?
(To refresh your memory, here's a screencap of you causing a ruckus out of nowhere on the BoomerDimension server (Which got cucked recently :sad face:))

And as for the counter-culture here - of course people would abstain from DOOMWORLD'S brand. It monopolized most of the Doom clout a forum could get, is run by vibrant homosexuals who openly defended a pedophile, or at the least, associate themselves with those people. (Zdoom). It's not very appealing to work along with such filth. And the "community-at-large" just flocks to whoever has the most approval, with Doomworld's (pathetic by game-community standards) 30k members, of course most normies would follow in their lead, it's normal herd mentality, very simple social phenomenon - people follow a leader. If you want people to minimally agree to disagree, stop being so extreme in your measures. The Doomer Boards Project is just 40oz's way to unite the site's userbase for a singular community effort (Which works well, as evident by how many DBP's have been hosted successfuly). And Cacowards are supposed to have the scope of the whole community, so it's unsurprising someone would want DB featured. We already know one DBP from before, that was highly requested, and became a runner-up for the Cacowards. And what stopped DBP's from being nominated, or even mentioned before (WHICH WOULD RESULT IN A BAN LOL PRIOR TO 2018 LOLOLOLOL) is DW's petty grudge against 40oz for daring to start his own forum. Maybe people here want to get famous, maybe don't, what is it to you if you're in it for the sheer enthusiams of creation, and not the ability to gain control over a community (Which you did), or gaining notoriety?

The Cacowards are of course extremely important, we couldn't have gone without nepotistic elitists awarding their friends over and over again; It's essential for a Doom Community experience. (Major Arlene gave herself a Cacoward once BTW, that's how bad your system is). And if we all are just enthusiasts, why did you and your clique get upset at the DoomAwards? Shouldn't they get to express themselves freely, too? 

Looks like to me, since Bloodshedder stepped down as an admin, ones like you got into power to insert your own politics and notions into the community (think back to the "Ultra-progressive world of the future" in the "Off-topic" tab of DW), since back then you could be Edgy on DW, even the admins themselves were.

TL;DR:
Shut the fuck up, Steve.

Fascinating how "go woke go broke" takes such an interesting form, innit? xD

While we're on it, about that thread I mentioned, Where DW users try to cancel John Carmack fir attending a political convention. The first reply to it is:

 
This is John (Andrea) Ravenski, who, while claiming the moral highground, has this Kiwifarms thread about him. Political sperg, unskilled speedrunner who regularly throws tantrums, and at one point said the N-word. And obviously a genderspecial person.
scubasteve would you support this person too? By your logic, you should shun him off DW, since he was hostile towards people based on race and sex before. He agrees with the narrative that DW upholds as of now, but at the same time, his past record suggests he's not truthful. Or is there a justification because he's trans? I think this example nullifies any argument supporting the notion that DBs is a toxic platform, look who you're hosting on your own.

fuck, I saw Carmack's actual account at the very beginning of the 30 year anniversary pre-stream chat, asking Romero if his camera & microphone are working. I wonder what would have happened if I had posted that DW thread there ... well probably not much since Carmack wouldn't care about such trivial things, but it would've been funny anyway.

The ways of Slaanesh are beyond our comprehension.

Soon there will be the time where it won't matter if some people call other people isms. Essel was saying in that old post "mah hate towards blacks, jews, etc..". I've seen few accounts with Palestinian flags on Doomworld recently. It's trending with the left, it's the same people who accuse you of isms. Now that the shit hit the fan in the middle east, we will see if any of these accusations make sense. It doesn't matter, it won't matter anymore, everyone is faking morality.

Like really, most content on Doomerboards is so milktoast and rarely a bit of edgy, but nothing terrifying compared to what you see in social media. This community has even produced so much good content and most of the posts are around Doom and other non controversial subjects. It's just a bit more open to not immediately banning or closing non-PC conversations. But those are more rare nowadays.

As someone with basically no personal investment regarding the relationship between Doomworld and Doomer Boards, I have to say I don't really understand a lot of the shit slinging between either side. A lot of the users here are either banned on DW or not interested in participating there, so why do so many people here care about engaging with them and endlessly complaining about their policies? Can there not just be two separate forums in the English speaking Doom community? I understand the desire to have one, unified community. But both forums have grown independently of one another regardless, and there's no stopping someone from participating on both forums (I guess unless they're already banned on one or the other).

Also, the forum was never officially dedicated to an Anti-DW agenda, is was merely meant to be an alternative. A DW without the moderation policy, frankly I don't even know what is considered offensive or not on DW. It seems to change like the weather. If this place is anti-DW it is because you guys at DW keep creating more anti-DW people who come here to vent their frustrations. That's not against the rules.

It's probably a good thing I'm not, nor ever will be, in a leading position for DBPs - if it were for me, I wouldn't even post them on DW any longer. Not my habit to lick the hand that slaps me.

On the other hand, one could argue that by posting them there, DW at least serves some kind of actual purpose - shilling one's own work is all that platform is good for nowadays.

lol I can't help but be dismayed at the fact that users here use this drama to 100% emphasize other people's sexual orientation and preferences instead of the fact that it turns out you might have been falsely advertising your size all along..
