Lol wtf, this website has literally zero reason to exist.
Screenshot taken as proof of you being a sheep. "We need a right-wing SJW hugbox" isn't a good reason to make a spinoff site, if you were so desperate for your precious safespace there's /pol/ and 8chan and reddit for your kind to go to. Now I just need to wait to be banned for breaking the circlejerk, and btw the email account I registered with is a throwaway account, so don't even bother trying to dox me.
To be honest, it sort of does. This is my opinion, mind.
Sufficient Velocity is just a soup of rules, regulations, and... well, shit: it's pretty much a court system LARP. That place also is a hugbox, and IIRC antisemitism runs
rampant there.
I'm unsure of the other splinter sites, but I know they were founded by people who disagree with how SB is being handled and what direction it's going in, regardless of their spectrum leanings/beliefs. And I can respect that.
As for SB itself? sigh Honestly, if you're a Conservative there, or even
Centre-Right, you're pretty much demonized by most of the Left-leaning user-base, despite their cries of the staff being controlled, influenced, or biased towards Right-leaning users.
You have people screaming 'Nazi! Nazi!' constantly, outright hysteria towards anyone
not of the Left, and people openly stating they support Antifa, believing them they need to fight the (non-existent) fascists infesting America and its government... when Antifa itself acts exactly, or tries to aspire to be, like the goddamn Brownshirts of Pre-Nazi Germany!
The recent controversy with the group PM showed a lot of people's true natures in the discussion thread ("Nazis! Nazis everywhere! Purge the
xenos! Nazis!" -- with their definition of Nazi being anyone who aren't like them on the Spectrum) and their actions in Discord servers (coordinated attacks on profile pages, attempted doxxings, et cetera). You also had staff members, two that I won't name but are obviously not needed to be named, basically
egging them on.
And, if you thought 2016's hysteria was bad, it's going to be like sticking your penis into a woodchipper come Trump's inevitable re-election in 2020 -- unless a dark horse candidate comes out of the woodwork for the Democrats, there's no-one there to be a viable counter-option to Trump.
The site is going to
implode when that occurs.
And, contrary to (mainly Left) hysteria and 'news', Trump is actually well-liked by a lot of Americans in polls and approval ratings, and although he does frequently do some stupid shit/say stupid things, America's actually doing well under him (shocking, given his business track-record, but still).
So, yeah. SB is pretty much is "going woke, going broke" over the period of a half-decade or so, except it can't go broke because it's not a business.
I still post there regularly, and I still interact with the community, but after a lot of them showed how ugly things are underneath, I'll never feel as... close, I guess, or comfortable with it as I did before.
Which is a shame, since SB used to be pretty awesome back when I first joined in 2012 or so.
