Imageboard historian here, what happened to the longline of tripfags/namefags on Zig Forums? - Howard something - That black nationalist dude - Yui avatarfag - Bat'ko - That Kierdergard dude (I now he turns into a tranny who gets fucked by a fascist dude now) - A(nal).W(ater). - Naziposter (who isn't actually a nazi) - Hochiming
These were the flames of Zig Forums, now what happened to them?
idk, i wasn't here, i guess he did personally kill every single one of them
Noah Ross
Fucked off to Youtube and started supporting idpol.
Fucked off to Youtube and started supporting idpol.
Fucked off to Youtube but still posts anonymously here occasionally to promote himself
Lucas Fisher
Rebel is back on youtube? Last I heard he had fled from the internet entirely after he self doxxed…
Colton Powell
they all fucked off
Jeremiah Ortiz
Seems like he still is gone from Youtube. Last time I checked was some odd months ago. I was only describing why he left Zig Forums, though.
Jace Butler
Howard Scott is still around and posts once in a while, I believe. BN guy fucked off. Yui fucked off. Batko went to YT Rebel Absurdity went to YT and then vanished entirely AW went to his blog and YT Naziposter still comes around, they were on Zig Forums pretty active until recently Hochi I guess vanished
Jaxon Martinez
Anyone know where Afroplasm went?
Jacob Fisher
Stopped posting on leftypol but still drops by from time to time in the bunkerchan irc Stopped avatarfagging or posting, idk Became liberalized We bullied him off this board (also he is retarded) Still a cunt, pretends to be a renaisance man on twitter while working a shit job that requires no degree
Hunter Myers
Yui is an unironic trans leftcom who argues with ☭TANKIE☭s on twitter lol
Jackson Wood
Never mind me, just posting some nice historical occurrences.
That'd be checkers. God bless that guy, he'd fire up this board every time his social security check came through.
Angel Phillips
Let me remind you guys that Batko still ocassionally comes here for his happening vids. I understand why most of you hate him but I'll still support him and like him for being the guy that introduced me to this lovely shithole.
Jordan Phillips
That Kierkegaard dude became a girl, then a Nazi, then got her twitter suspended.
Who else thinks that Howard Scott has autism? I seriously think he has it.
Chase Campbell
I have a really bad sense of time, but if I remember correctly Hooch came back to /leftytrash/ to shitpost about weird looking rich Iranian bodybuilders who have fucked up faces probably thanks to plastic surgery.
Thread started with tripfiends, thus thread continued on that note. I have been curious about what this board was like pre-Gamergate exodus. My impression is that it had a closer connection to Getchan.
Jose Ortiz
There was also Hoxhaposter / Sam Williams gang here at one point. Miss him, he was one of the few people to make / contribute to economics threads. Speaking of which, we haven't had one of those in forever.
I've seen someone on twitter with the name afroplasm but I don't know if it's the same guy twitter.com/DerAfromensch
Blake Morales
The ties to GetChan didn't cultivate until way after the Gamergate-exodus. Infact, as far as I remember, the board didn't even exist until shortly before the exodus, and indeed a lot of early Zig Forums revolved around a leftist interpretation of GG. Indeed, it was naive and chaotic, but it evolved into pretty hard post-capitalist leftism in the early day, and liberals were purged from day 1.
Zachary Anderson
So what is the board opinion of GG today? a movement turned reactionary by the media or still a cause worth fighting for?
Levi Martin
It was virgins arguing with each other on Twitter.
Connor Powell
The absolute best meme thread we have had on this board was that one where literally everyone started posting as Afroplasm and calling each other imposters. Don't remember what the actual thread topic was. Good times.
Evan Barnes
Initially I supported it, because I bought the red herring. I legitimately thought it was about a criticism of media colluding with the indusstry it was supposed to regulate (the GameJournosPro scandal) and so I would defend it online and to my friends. I sincerily regret that. I was duped. The outrage at GJP was only window-dressing. The whole thing was about attacking people that were "encroaching" upon the territory of white masculinity and had to be silenced and harrassed. I really hoped it was more, but it was only at the very end that I finally realized that the average GG'er was just a pollack that had found a smokescreen.
So no, I don't have any sympathy for GG today.
Adam Ortiz
Remember when we did that same thing to SatanPoster, when "she" posted her tits?
Good times… Good times.
Mason Evans
I remember that. That shit was fucking hilarious.
Jose Morgan
She did have some good tits, if I recall correctly
William Gomez
Anyone have that jpg where it's like 50 black clones with the black nationalist flag over the face that got posted in that thread?
Aaron Campbell
I was about to ask the same, you mean an edit of pic related, right?
buh, I'm sure that any one of us namefagging would show the individual to have a handful of unique traits that are in one measure or another dispized and praised by various segments of this board. name/trip-fags are just regular anons (for the most part) with a narcissistic streak. Howard Scott was, as he put it, not a leftist, but a technocrat. I couldn't agree more with him, but we tolerated him better than Zig Forums or /liberty/ would and there's one or two parallels so he stuck around. I don't think he really shows his flag or name unless he wants to outright speak about technocracy. the BN was afroplasm, but I don't know if he was black nationalist or just pan-africanism, didn't have particularly memorable posts, probably realized that and now posts anonymously. Yui, I think, abandoned us for twitter. Bat'ko lurks to get material for his meme channel on Youtube. You answered your own question about kierkgard dude (Rebel Absurdity). AW left after making a thread about how he was sorry for being the most obnoxious psued around while critiquing everything and proposing nothing, mentioned something about a discord server if anyone wanted to discuss Hegel. Naziposter still shows up. And I think Hoochiemin either posts anonymously and less frequently now, but I recall hearing about her gaining vol status, don't know about the veracity of that claim, but if so, it would be un-modly of her to continue her tripfaggotry. The true flames of Zig Forums are the anonymous posters though.
Mason Cox
Yui moved to /leftyweebpol/ and then dropped off the board entirely
Bat'ko went to Youtube and eventually became a pro-idol Bookchinner
Nazi-Poster left just last month.
Hunter Evans
Was there ever a follow-up to this?
Adam Clark
Where can I get that book?
Eli Perry
For a second I thought it was me then I realized it was Afroplasm.
As for me, I just eventually stopped namefagging and I only sometimes post with this flag anymore. It's slightly less fun without having as many Zig Forumsacks around to freak out about it.
Bonus: I think Onanist Socialist or whatever maybe still posts on Zig Forums.
Nolan Brown

This is just getting duped in a different way. Nagle's account of it in Kill All Normies is relatively balanced. There was a lot of outrage centered around the industry as a whole beforehand which consummated itself in the conflagration of Gamergate. Nagle's account, and most others, do elide the bizarre censorship that created a kind of Streisand effect around the original sex-for-review outrage. It would not have exploded without that.
The main problem I found with it is that it did center around a sex panic, although a lot of activism on the left and right has revolved around moral and sex panics. That problem reflects American political culture as a whole rather than Gamergate specifically.
Carson Rodriguez
none of these people were ever here and you shouldn't bring them up again
