Clown World War I: Difference between revisions

Throughout the war, a certain sect of members of BMW who disliked Taylor would begin plotting against him in various ways, an event that would culminate twice in The Incel Uprising and The Sauce Affair.

Relations would be made worse after the 2016 Election when Something Awful as a whole lost its god damn mind, and during the Conan Expedition of 2017, began wholesale slandering BMW of being "Alt-Right". Goons tenuous grasp on reality was one of the primary causes for Taylor and admins to eventually stop recruiting on the forums all together. Prude would later coin the term for the move as "post-goon". Some in the SA community saw this as a signal that BMW as a whole should no longer be welcomed among Goons, as they don't tolerate dissent.

The roots of the war formed when Serious Overchill and Cheen began harassing [[SA Discord]] admin Tempus Thales about Taylors twitter account, featuring such hateful tweets as "Potato chips are banned in the ethnostate". Their campaign culminated in the Fornite thread, where a chorus of Goons cried about all the hateful Nazi alt right mods in SA Discord, and encouraged people to detour from there and instead join Serious Overchill. TT, at the time, shrugged it off but remained ignorant of the true intents of the campaign which were to bolster Serious Overchill and take away from SA Discords presence. FAT32, an admin in SA Discord and Serious Overchill, tried to downplay that last point, while also being in TTs ear about Taylor being a Nazi.

Prior to the ousting, Taylor had planned to leverage the groups access to gain access to the development of [[GDN]], which had stagnated due to Kales lack of interest, as a way to increase BMWs recruitment, by finding troubled users using text recognition. This basic concept would later be used as the basis for the cover story during Operation Overlard.

A month later, Taylor would begin receiving strange and threatening texts in the middle of the night from people who claimed that he would be doxxed and outed as a racist, presumably by Goons. The dissident admins feigned sympathy, but after The Sauce Affair it would become clear they were either involved or at the very least, knowledgeable, as information obtained during [[The Skirmish Of Wonka Plains]] showed that a parachute discord had been prepared almost directly in sync with the text messages, assumadly coordinated by Sauce and [[Hindered]]. The admins eventually found an excuse in the form of a missed permission for a music bot to stage an all out coup against Taylor. The attempt utterly failed as the group lacked any charisma and the subsequent restructuring of WTT led to a renaissance in the groups culture, largely overshadowing the coup plotters.

From August of 2018 until March of 2019, there were little to no skirmishes among the combatants. However, ever since the ousting of Taylor from SA Discord, it had died a slow death, eventually dwindling down to a few users and only a few hundred posts a day.

In December, WTT would officially removed politics from its platform, choosing to move it to a new platform, Rocket.Chat.

==Taylors Abdication & BEEFY BOYS Return==

In March of 2019, Taylor officially stepped down as leader of WTT, handing the reins over to [[Peaches]] and [[AlexanderDeLarge]], two long time and trusted mods of WTT. Along with this move, Prude brought forth the idea to bring back politics from the dying Rocket.Chat platform to a seperate Discord, specifically the former [[COMMUNISM]] discord, [[BEEFY BOYS]].
