I remember things changing around here, but can’t remember who was responsible, if indeed it was a single person. There did kind of suddenly emerge a ‘type’ though: a male, claiming to support IR, yet alsobeing sort of nasty toward many of the forum’s women.
It wasn't one person that was responsible. It was a combination of long time problematic posters & newer "red pill" posters. They all had the common link of they were anti-black or misogynistic or both. Hindsight being 20/20 most of us naively passed it off as just clashes of personalities, especially if/when two dudes butted heads but once the problematic ones started focusing their attention negatively on women (both directly & indirectly) that's when things took a turn. The one up side to come from that chaos is now it's far easier to recognize those that are "Of the Tribe" (or legitimately trying to be) from the internet IR cosplayers.
