'''Clown World War I''' was a conflict between the shitposters of [[BMW]]/[[WTT]] and the Goons of [[SomethingAwful]] in general but specifically [[Serious Overchill]] and [[SA Discord]]. The conflict was a clashing of cultures between the laid back anti-PC anti-censorship views of WTT and the groupthink multiculti "Cult of Chill" perpetuated by Goons. The latter half of the war was characterized by betrayal by BMW admins and [[TT]]s ongoing ineptitude and feud with [[Taylor Swift]]. The war went with [[The Sauce Affair]], resulting in the banning of longtime COMMIE [[The Sauce]] and personal threats made against Taylor Swift. The war would officially end almost a year later with [[The Troon Uprisings]], The war caused untold destruction and butthurt across many discords and created countless splinter groups and feuds among the factions. Its widely regarded as a mostly hilarious affair.

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.

At the same time, TT and his assistant, [[IAmKale]], had begun to harbor resentment about Taylor and BMW, as the latter was seeing massive success while the former's discord withered and stagnated

At some point, Prude found out that [[Lowtax]], the owner of SomethingAwful, had a private discord that was actually open to everyone. The Bimmers used this as a chance to fuck with him and proceeded to dump copious amounts of anime tiddies into the discord daily, eventually getting a response from Lowtax that would result in him banning politics in GBS.

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.

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

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]].

After this, TT and The Incels would formerly join forces, after breaking The Siege of Lowtaxia and gaining a GDN foothold in that discord.

The most explosive operation in the war occurred as part of TTs ongoing struggle for relevancy. In the past few months, he had attempted to rebrand his discord as an LGBTQIABBQLMAO+ safe discord as well as a safe space for mental care. In line with this, he created a special role to access the channels where one could get this help. However, in his ineptitude, the role also revealed a channel where FAT32, Tempus, and IAmKale had one year earlier plotted to ban Taylor and assassinate his character. Also included in the channel was a trove of personal information on the 3, information that would eventually make its way to 8chan and KiwiFarms due to their interest in TT after GDN had been put into Lowtaxes discord.

TT, in a panic, created a cover story with FAT32 and Kimsemus to frame Taylor. A preposterous story was concocted that involved Taylor gaining access to FATs bot, [[Brobot]], and gaining access to every channel it was in and logging all the information for years. TT would flaunt this info in an attempt to spook Taylor into believing he was going to be banned and to what other ends are unclear. However, [[Capri Sun Tzu]] would put together a comprehensive pdf detailing the events as they really occurred and absolving Taylor of any crimes.

In May however, the war took a dark turn when the depths of The Sauces betrayal came to light. Rumors had emerged for months that The Sauce was a turncoat to WTT and BEEFY BOYS, as such, Taylor and company were careful with what information Sauce had access to, making sure only the information he was filtering was predominately mocking TT and The Incels. The full breadth of his betrayal was revealed when c0rndog would leak a DM between him and notorious German incel, Rejdukian, showing that Sauce had been telling them all very sensitive and personal information about Taylor, including home addresses.  

After the leaking of an opsec channel that was meant to frame Capri for his earlier comprehensive defense of Taylor, WTT would move to ban The Sauce and his associates from all portions of the platform. What resulted was a complete and total meltdown, including a massive text chain between him and Taylor where Sauce posed as some sort of "Anonymous" style hacker of justice who was going to take down Taylor. When this had failed, Sauce broke down and resorted to texting Taylor directly via his actual phone number, issuing a number of personal threats of bodily harm. This behavior would be repeated several times in DMs with mediators.
