steve hoffman forums, C or D?

I'm guessing no flags.

Better option: no avatars

every avatar needs to just be steve hoffman with a shakti hallograph stick

steve hoffman being zionist actually WAS on my 2024 bingo card

As I read on that dedicated H0ffman burn forum, apparently H0ffman's wife is super hardcore MAGA.

oh whats that forum spill the beans

Thought that was mentioned upthread, but just google "st3r3oc3ntral" obvs with the proper replacements there. Be forewarned, it can be a little toxic at times, but they do a good job of calling out the general misogyny and racism that can run rampant at H0ffman.

thankkkk youuuu

The existence of a Steve Hoffman burn forum is extremely 1999, love it

haha Pitchfork Reviews Steve Hoffman

I hate to ask, but is Hoffman's wife super MAGA nuttery visible somewhere on the web? I was under the impression he was very much anti-MAGA so that must be weird.

But yeah, quite a few reactionary nuts and even actual Nazis on that forum. I think they're clearly in the minority, but really fucking sad when they pop up and pledge allegiance to Trump or spew their vile racist shit about immigrants and minorities. IIRC one of the mods "Dave" had some really disgusting anti-Asian immigrant rants that have since been deleted.

I don't know, just taking it on face value from the posters over there - they are very often digging up (to an uncomfortable degree!) real world links and photos of notorious H0ffman posters, so I'm sure they've sourced something.

Hoffman appears to be vaguely on the left when he posts on Twitter

The rival board mentioned above - it can at times be very amusing, but some of the people there are so consumed by hate for all things SH.tv that they frequently come across as far more pitiful than the goofballs they make fun of

Yeah, was gonna say, the one thread I looked at on SC was full of far more reprehensibly misogynistic shit than anything I've ever seen lurking SHF.

Some on SC just seem to wallow in being as negative about pretty much all rock and pop music to the extent that I think: what exactly is the difference between this and the negativity/narrow mindedness/inability to just enjoy music on the Hoffman board? That ‘sacred cows’ revered on SH.tv are finally getting put in their place? Who gives a crap?

That’s what’s great. The kind of posting forged in the fires of Usenet insanity.

Steve Hoffman and forums, the two things I hate
USEnet and insanity, the two things that's great

Finding a super-active Free Forum or usenet group feels so bizarre in 2024. Of course it's filled with completely off-the-chart non-linear obsessional derision and hate. 50/50 chance of one of them self-actualizing into something involving guns.

SC is nuts, there's a 271 page thread bashing just one Hoffman forum member's original music.

They also get very upset indeed at the likes of very obvious, albeit subtle trolls like S.P. Honeybunch who provides excellent discussions like these

Yeah, I'm not defending SC really, it's pretty toxic and creepy at times, but every now and then I like to duck in and see how they puncture the self-seriousness of H0ffman.

it’s horrifying and compelling

otm

lol, PaulTMA. those are good finds

SC has some great display names too ... Norman 'Whiplash' Mailer is art

it’s mostly straight up bullying tbh but it does call out right wing bullshit and shady Steve stuff

an all-time favourite
