Fanfiction autist who wrote a million words of self-insert capeshit gets banned from forum for attack-helicopter-posting. Seriousposters in a rational fanfiction subreddit write a million words arguing about it.

Some guy named Mr. Zoat cares so much about capeshit that he's spent six years writing literally more than a million words of self-insert fanfiction where he gets an Orange Lantern ring in a DC spinoff called Young Justice. He's moved forums twice. The first time because he got temp-banned for a day in December of 2015, for posting The Force Awakens "spoilers" two weeks after the movie came out. Due to this clear injustice, he moved his ~~public masturbation~~ story from Spacebattles to Sufficient Velocity, the sister forum of Spacebattles that got created due to long-ago drama over a moderator being removed. Sufficient Velocity has, since then, become much more strict about moderation than Spacebattles.

This Sunday, January 27th, Mr. Zoat was banned from Sufficient Velocity for repeatedly attack-helicopter-posting. Like a Tibetan monk immolating himself, he bravely and deliberately got himself permanently banned for not respecting bussy enough.

Mr. Zoat has now moved his million words of masturbation to a site that will properly appreciate it: Questionable Questing, the creepy uncle of Spacebattles, where people post stories about anime characters raping each other. Questionable Questing has a strict no current politics rule, and brave souls are already testing it.

Which brings us to reddit. /r/rational is a subreddit for autists and by autists, where they can discuss the few derivative works written by hacks on the internet that meet their standards. One confused neckbeard starts us off by asking an innocent question: What the fuck happened? Seriousposters then attempt to write more than a million words in a single reddit thread using as few posts as possible.

Choice drama selections below.

A boot-licker who's never been banned from anywhere claims it's easy to avoid, you just have to not post wrongthink.

The "I identify as a attack helicopter" meme is not okay. It's not innocent, it's an in-joke that clearly sends a message of contempt and mockery.

This thread goes on forever. It just keeps going. These fuckers will be arguing for days.

Hello! Trans person you are meeting in real life. [...] if a sentient attack helicopter actually existed I think it would be deserving of respect.

If you support free speech, you must support people pinging other users. It's completely legal speech. If you won't defend pinging as free speech because you or someone else finds it disgusting, then no speech that you or anyone else views as disgusting is safe.

if it is in fact on shaky legal ground it's reasonable to not want to be the case that establishes it as illegal.

It's not, The reddit admins are straight up lying to the ignorant (like yourself) to justify their prejudice. Pinging being protected speech has long since been estabilished, as it has undeniable artistic merit. The only time it's been included under any obscenity laws is when someone is being charged with possession of harassment, so the state can slap them with more charges. The courts have been very careful to not charge anyone for pinging, because they'd get their asses fucking annihilated by a higher court due to the firm precedence of pinging being completely legal speech. /r/Drama had nothing to worry about, this guy was just making shit up to fool people into thinking his censoring wasn't entirely personally motivated.

This is a good effortpost. Bump

For a long time, I really haven't been content. With a lot of things really. I haven't been content with the things around me; the world where it seems like you have to do something you hate just to survive, where people are constantly hurting, themselves, or each other, or just by the world itself. And that's bad, and it hurts to watch, but I can't really do anything about most of it either. But I also haven't been content with myself, not for a long while. I'm not content with the way speak with a seemingly inescapable stutter, or the way that I just can't seem to understand somethings like facial expressions, or understand people without them having to repeat themselves a few times. I don't like how I seem to swing between outrage one half of the time, and soul-crushing hopelessness the other half. I don't like how, even though I supposedly 'traded' my social skills for 'intelligence', I still can't seem to do well enough to remember the important parts of my education. I don't like how it seems like I'll be forced to mooch off of those close to me, because I just can't survive in the real world. And I don't like how I can barely express that I appreciate them, or spend time with those who don't have long left, because I can barely interact with people at all. And beyond that, I don't like a lot of the rest of myself, either. I dont like how it smells constantly, I don't like the frequent headaches I get. And I've never really liked how I look. I don't understand how my body could be considered appealing, and I've never really liked my sexuality. It always felt like a unwanted addition that I have to tolerate, not a part of me. And the idea that I was 'masculine', like those ridiculous 8-pack abs body-builders you always see, always seemed strange and unpleasant. And so, as one is wont to do with things that they don't like, I thought of ways I could solve these issues. Most of these are so difficult, that any dreamed solution is just a hopeless fantasy. That's part of why I like WTR so much; once I read enough, I can imagine myself in his position; with the power to actually fix things; things wrong with myself, and things wrong with the world itself. And that's why I call myself a transhumanist; because it seems like that there are a million things wrong with the world, and the only real solution to so many of them are things that don't even exist yet. One of these things that I always imagined to escape, one of the smaller, less fantastical things, was what if I just changed my body in one of the accessible ways possible. What if I became a woman? Its a serious process, requiring dedication and effort, and obviously even in these modern times it will draw the worse kinds of attention. But I always thought it'd be a change I'd like, if only there was some sort of magic button I could hit to do it instantly, or maybe if there was a 'back' button if it turned out I wasn't any happier that way. But there isn't, and it was never really the foremost concern because there were, and are, always just so many other things. I liked the idea, but I was never really convinced I'd actually pursue it. But I still liked the idea, and I still thought of it from time to time, mulling it over, using it as a escape. And, unrelated to this, there was something else. Even if I don't really like interacting with people, because it's just so difficult, and I can't seem to get it right, I still like to be nice, and try to help others. Because even if I can't be happy, at least someone else can, right? And what's a little of my time, anyway? And so, I try to be nice, and listen to people. I try to give them the benefit of the doubt, even if I don't really agree with them, or like them. I try to listen, and reason, and be polite. I don't always succeed. Obviously, I'm rather damned far from perfect. Sometimes I'm tired, or angry like I seem to be so often. Sometimes it seems like the only option left is to try to be as terrible as the rest of the world seems to be. Sometimes, I've had enough, and I go somewhere I think is safe to rant, and ramble about how awful everything seems to be, and how it seems like the only way to fix it is more horribleness, and I say something that some people don't like. But at least, when I do that, I don't say it somewhere where I'll end up in front of a therapist. Or tied down in a psychiatric ward, with IV drips of who knows what. But I try at least. I try. And, in these in past few days, I've seen a lot of what I see in the world at large. I've seen people hating other people, trans people, for what they are, for what they want and think. And that is bad. When I'm more reasonable, I might say that that's just how people react to things that are new, or things they don't understand. When I'm not, I might just say that's nothing more than a sad new reflection of the world at large. But, at the same time, I've seen a lot of hate back. Hate from the people who are asking for compassion and understanding. Hate from the people who have been hated, and found no solution but to hate back. And hate, by those same people who seek compassion and understanding, towards people who did not hate back, but merely didn't understand. People who's greatest misdoing was offense through ignorance. People, for who a few words could have changed their mind, and instead you chose to hate them, time and time again. And so they hated you back, and learned nothing, and spread more hate. I could list everything I don't like about that, I guess. But I'm not going to bother. But if these are really the people who lead and define the trans community, or even the LGBT movement, who are given responsibility and authority, then I already know enough. I don't know if I'll ever find peace with myself. Maybe some day, I'll figure out some key thing that was preventing me from being happy with what I am, and I won't need to change anything. Maybe I won't, and I'll just be like this for the rest of my life. Maybe, I'll end up using that rope I keep in my closet, that I tell myself is just for kinky stuff. I'm not really sure why I'm writing this, anyway. Maybe I have some vain hope that you'll see the error of your ways, and we'll all live happily ever after as better and more compassionate people like something out of a cheesy fairy tale. Maybe I'm just more upset and angry than usual, and some part of me wants to spread that. I don't know anymore. But I know for certain one thing, and one thing only; I like to be nice, damnit. And if that's what going down that path would cost me, then I'm never walking it. Goodbye. I think I speak for both of us when I say I hope we'll never meet again.

Now that's a lot to unpack.

In regards to your last link, I would totally respect a sentient attack helicopter, it would be like a cheesy kids made for TV movie but instead of your best friend being a VW bug they're an Apache.

Sign me the fuck up.

Chippy would have a horribly mangled children's tune version of Ride Of The Valkyries as his theme.

I think it was Anne Mcaffrey that had a few sf novels about people turned into spaceships (due to terrible accidents at birth, etc.) from idk the '70s or '80s. I hadn't really thought it through in this connection, but it actually would be pretty cool to have the option of death machine in addition to star spanner and city governor if you were otherwise a real world brain-in-a-vat.

Poor trannies. Someone somewhere (ze Germans?) should be doing very unethical research to benefit far future generations of men in forms yet unknown to us.

I love the "rational" community. They're the same petty morons as everybody else, but without any self awareness and with an additional layer of smug that permeates through the way they couch their language.

1 JustLions 2019-01-29

How can you not love a community that looks at capeshit and kids' cartoons, and reacts with "this needs more autism"?

1 mtg_liebestod 2019-01-29

Haven’t paid attention to rationalists in a while, but lol at describing EY (presumably) as a “Harry Potter fanfiction author”.

There’s a lot of tribalism and signaling but I do give them credit for being self-aware about the concepts and actually seeing them as real problems for.... being rational.

1 usedtobread 2019-01-29

It's funny 'cause it's true. In practice you could also describe Yudkowsky as a middling successful cult leader, which is oddly impressive in its own right.

Dude never went to college and somehow gets donations for his "AI research" foundation.

All I got from this post is that /u/SprinklerTesselation is a giganerd, likely overdue for a locker stuffing.

most likely

Mr Hamill presses her breasts together, trying to get them to sit comfortably in her newly fashioned bra. An expression of discomfort on her face, she looks at Beryl.

"Are they supposed to be like this?"

have you ever wondered "What if Shakespeare was an incel?"

People spending dozens of pages arguing over the size of an explosion in a picture of capeshit is pretty good drama ngl
