The title was changed first to something which I dunno at the time, for specific reasons. He had a "nice" conversation with the mod and they decided to honor his name to the gods by giving his name to the thread. This is the far I know, maybe someone could be more into details.

"Clown world" is a phase that's been adopted by some actual Alt Right groups even though the topic predates its use by those groups. So it was flagged by Google, not wanting the association and hit to ad revenue Evilore changed it to Mad world and explained the reason for the change.
Hariseldon popped off about bowing down to censorship and got modded for it.

Again does anyone even know what this supposed link is between the phrase and any high profile undesirables? I've only ever heard this used on forums and I've never seen a single high profile news story anywhere that featured this, unlike Pepe's and NPC memes, shit like that. This one really does blow me away, it's such a mundane expression of disapproval of the culture, I just can't fathom what the complaint even was or what it's basis is. If that has to go you'd think a lot of shit here would need to go.

Where? Who? What?

I do find it pretty amazing. Like when I was growing up it was pretty common to call idiots clowns. Hey you fucking clown stop doing that, what are you a clown, etc. You use it as a catch all phrase for cultural idiocy and all of a sudden you're on a list with hate groups? gtfoh it's nonsense

don't worry they will eventually until you have nothing left to complain about because you'd living in a spiral of silence then.

Clown World

Clown World (emojified as 🤡🌏, also known as Honkler, Heil Honkler or Honk Honkler) is an alt-right, neo-Nazi propaganda meme and dog whistle.[1] The "Honkler" image first appeared on 4chan in February 2019.[2] Clown World and Honkler have been co-opted by the alt-right in an effort to obfuscate...

I miss Mel Gibson. He made some terrific movies, both as an actor and director. Apocalypto ranks among the best of the best. Still need to see Hacksaw Ridge.

After accidentally hitting the report button on myself, I kind of wonder why that's a thing.

"Hello moderators? I just made some very questionable posts and I'd like to turn myself in."

Lol do you spin for this label or something?
Keep postin' them
 
Has anyone bothered to check out the Xbox Power King Memes Thread?

Holy shit, I thought Jim was exaggerating when he said it was a cesspool of bitching and gossiping about Pro-Sony members.

When did these kinds of threads become okay on GAF?

lol it was that way from the start. I put the thread on ignore after the first week. Half of the "Xbox memes" were actually just various recycled gifs showing how Xbox was going to dominate/rape/obliterate/etc the Playstation brand. After the 70th or 80th "joke" about teraflops it got old.

Its disturbing how it just transformed into GAF's own Lipstick Alley.

Some lowlife recently quoted my thread and said "intro to drugs" despite that thread getting a lot of likes and discussions.
