The Troon Uprisings were a series of bitchfits the Troons of SomethingAwful threw on the QCS subforum regarding the FYAD subforum that resulted in the latters closure then deletion. The incident later evolved into CSPAMs open revolt against the SA mod team, resulting in PartyPlaneJones being outed as a "Nazi hunting spy" and his self requested permaban.
History
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
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, 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.
FYAD Closure & Deletion
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"). Troons went into full revolt and founded The Succ Zone, a spinoff of the CSPAM forum comprised of its most active users. Immediately, the mods and admins began planning a new offsite, named Bread and Roses, that would be safe from Nazis and FYAD. Meanwhile, in the Discord channel for discussing SA drama, anger began being focused primarily at the Debate & Discussion subforum mod, PartyPlaneJones.
Over the next week, users discussed their demands from the mods and admins and continued protesting the banning of their leader, BENGHAZI 2.
Outing of Jones
On the afternoon of January 6th, Succ Zone user Pound_Coin (also the leader of UKPol Discord) reported that he had discovered that PartyPlaneJones was a regular contributer to the WTT Discord. Throughout the next 24 hours, Troons valiantly searched through Discord logs, KiwiFarm posts, and other sources to prove definitively that PPJ was a member of BMW.
With their results in hand, they stormed the forums, forcing a response from the mods and PPJ himself[1] that was frankly confusing. PPJs cover story was that he had been ordered by other mods and admins, specifically Jeffery of YOSPOS and Koalas March, to infiltrate and keep tabs on the Bimmers, specifically in the wake of Operation Overlard. He explained that he used a link from Lowtaxs Gaming Garbage Discord that he got during The Siege of Lowtaxia and joined and gained "The Discord Nazis'" trust and fed info back to the mods.
The story was immediately mocked and subsequently memed by FYAD, CSPAM, and pretty much everyone else. His story was full of holes, including but not limited to the timeline in which he said he had joined BMW and the admins inconsistent story on Jones specific orders, or if there were even orders to begin with. Further doubt was cast when Capri Sun Tzu suicide bombed into the thread explaining, with posts, that Jones was way more active on WTT than any other Discord, and that he had in fact been a member for almost 3 years. CST was of course permabanned for the post, but it fanned the flames even hotter.
