Just look at how much the religion bashing he has decreased since the fedora atheist thing became a thing.

In part because of that, I respect some fat, neckbearded, atheist, fedora wearing brony more than the people that make fun of them. Even if they're whipped losers who've never seen the sight of a vagina in their 30+ years, they're still whoever the fuck thet want to be despite what people think of them. Whereas the hordes of internet dwellers that obsessively make fun of them or point out how 'fedora' someone else is, do it because they're just too afraid of people thinking they're anything like them. In other words, they care a whole lot more about what people think of them than bronies do.

Except the fedora atheist type person does care massively what people think of them. They want to appear to be the intellectually superior person who won't blindly follow religion. They may appear to not care but that's more a case of appearing to brushing off what those people who are "below" them think to maintain their ideas about being so smart when they're actually massively flawed and probably really insecure.

Yet secure enough that they don't need other people's approval to carry themselves however they want. Everyone's berating neckbeards, My Little Pony, atheism even and fedoras, and they keep wearing them despite opposition. That takes quite a few more guts than being so obsessively insecure about your demeanor on a message board where your ego is reliant on calling other people 'fedoras' and carefully monitoring your own behavior to not be called one. Like the aforementioned decrease in anti-religious ramblings.

I think you both make valid points. In terms of the atheism thing, I like to make the distinction where the reasons for the outward displays of atheism are concerned because I don't agree with any and all criticisms of religion being labelled as 'fedora' and ridiculed in that respect. I think criticism of religion is important in the context of any discourse aimed at better understanding the universe, preventing harmful consequences of beliefs in question (e.g. childhood indoctrination), shaping/re-evaluating/improving social policy, relieving suffering caused by rampant superstition etc. This doesn't just go for religious beliefs but any belief system or claim made about the world. The important thing though is that, if anything is to be criticised or even subjected to ridicule here, it is the belief not the person. The displays of atheism shown by 'fedoras' in this thread (I think I have yet to see an exception.. If there are I haven't been paying close enough attention) are not only motivated purely by what I can only explain as the need to demonstrate intellectual superiority over others for the purposes of social desirability, but they are aimed at the religious person in such a way that aims to depict them as fundamentally inferior "sheeple". I think the phrase "enlightened by my own intelligence" largely sums up what I have a problem with. While I can and do see the funny side, it does disgust me when people talk like this. Another key distinction I've picked up on is the conflation of beliefs and intelligence or, basically, these guys seem to think 'unjustified/strange belief = stupid person i'm vastly superior to'. Some of the most intelligent people can and do hold a variety of weird beliefs for a variety of reasons that have little to do with intelligence. I guess I could sum up by saying the nature of "fedora" displays of atheism appear to be completely disingenuous and well deserving of the constant cringing I do in response to they shit they come out with.

If DSF had the new http://www.dogsonacid.com/ color scheme, removal of wasted space, and corrected font sizes, it would probably be the best theme ever.

I like the notifications

Quoting the lemon here, first time going there since relaunch. Looks good dood. Super readable, very relaxing. I wonder if some of the dickheadedness here is caused by the hostility inducing page design?

I stood there shaking in disbelief and fear. I knew what was coming next: fear, humiliation, shame, threats, name calling. What I did not expect was that I would be brutally bullied and harassed online. I did not expect that every private detail about my life would be dissected. I did not expect that my intelligence and work ethic would be questioned and criticized. And I certainly did not expect that extremely personal information concerning my identity and whereabouts would be so carelessly transmitted through college gossip boards.

Should've thought about that before taking dick on camera, TBH.

[garethom]

Nah, it's because of all the dickheads

The thing is...the guy who 'took over' DoA wasn't an active member on the previous incarnation, or at least says he wasn't. Many of the original members and mods think he was someone who had a history on there and is trying to hide from that fact, but no one can prove anything.

Whilst DoA was down, 35Hz started up and did alright as it carried a lot of the original vibe from DoA with the core members going over there, The Grid continuing as it was (with less trolling, thankfully).

Now that DoA has relaunched, it's split the camp, so to speak. Some of the members are happy with 35Hz and the way the vibe was going, whereas some of the people who didn't necessarily like the previous DoA and subsequently 35Hz, are happier with the new DoA and rip on the old DoA/35Hz crowd.

I lurk both boards for Production stuff, have to say The Grid is more active on 35Hz, but the new DoA does have the full archive of all the Producer Q&A Sessions, which have been edited so they're now pure gold.

The new DOA is uglyyy, looks like a 2002 good housekeeping forum

[m8son666]

I would have thought by 2014 there would be people who could design aesthetically pleasing forum skins but obviously not.

[DiegoSapiens]

It was always the dnb forum, a lot of big names used to post there

[wub]

i reckon skunttech took over doa

Half the threads on the new DoA are from him or one of his alias accounts, he'd been banned at least half a dozen times since the relaunch

[m8son666]

hahaha big up skunktech

[Forum]

I would say that Danny guy is probably him
