While most the event surrounding the particular event are isolated to the event itself, the roots of the matter stretch back many years, predominately due to the rapidly changing demographics of SomethingAwful and its shift from a comedy website to a trainwreck circlejerk. | |||
== Background == | == Background == | ||
During the early teens, SA began shifting away from its Internet 1.0 reputation as an edgy frontier of shitposting and goon rushes into a more socially conscious website focused on political matters, social and otherwise. As a result, the sites Overton Window shifted hard left and by the middle of the decade, the site was over run with troons (trans goons) mostly due to the pre-existing autism rampant on SA. | |||
Concurrently, the [[Rust]] group, [[BMW#2015|BMW]], was rapidly growing as a group mostly representative of SomethingAwfuls earlier years; politically incorrect, edgy, and care free. This attitude frequently clashed with the site at large, specifically with [[FactsAreUseless]], a Games mod, when BMW leader, [[Taylor Swift]], was banned from SomethingAwful Forums, and eventually the site owner himself, [[Lowtax]], when he banned all the Bimmers from his Discord for spamming hentai. | |||

== Founding of Bread & Roses == | On December 9th, QCS (SA forums meta forum for bitching) blew up because FYAD, being FYAD, had bullied a queer or something. To be quite honest I have no idea what happened and dont care because as cringy as troons are, FYAD isnt much better. Regardless, FYAD got closed, as did QCS, and the whole mess blew up even further. Wild accusations were being thrown around about Lowtax protecting FYAD because hes a racist Nazi etc etc. Lowtaxes sporadic YouTube streams were constantly inundated with complaints and bitching about his admining of the forums. | ||
== Lowtaxes NYE Stream & Founding of Bread & Roses == | |||
On New Years Eve, Lowtax had another of his streams, and again was being bombed by both CSPAM nerds and FYAD fags. In response, he probed a bunch of CSPAM people (as it would later be rumoured, at the suggestion of "Nazis") | |||
