WHERE DO SOYJAKS GO WHEN THEY STOP BEING POSTED?

By Zinc

Introduction

When the world's ever-accelerating race towards technological singularity reached a new height with the advent of the Internet in the closing chapters of the 20th century, few could have imagined what the world would do with such a revolutionary technology.

And perhaps, that same cluelessness was shared by the people of /qa/, who, over the years since its founding, became a battleground of different groups vying for power on the board. If you go onto the soyjak.party right now, and post for long enough, you might see a memorial banner for that same board, stating that the people of it had no clue they were making history, not just fun.

Do you think they could have ever predicted the nightmares they would unknowingly help unleash?

Chapter 1: Sifting Through The Rubble

If you ask anyone on the Soysphere his opinion on the state of it, there is an extremely high likelihood that his answer would be that it has seen better days. And he would not be wrong. It does not require a man to be of great intelligence to recognize that the Sharty of old has come to pass.

Chapter 2: The Anti-Sharty

Understanding why the Soysphere is in such a dire state is a lot more doable when one can quantify the things that has plagued it as of late.

To understand the concept of the anti-Sharty, one must look at the politics of early 20th century France. Charles Maurras, and his corporatist, monarchist, and fiercely right-wing organization, Action Française, created the concept of the anti-France. He promulgated that groups like the Jews, foreigners, Freemasons, and Protestants are inherently antithetical to the French nation. Most importantly, he stressed that France must be protected from the anti-France, which is a mindset seemingly absent from the viewpoints of the Powers That Be.

Building off of this, there are certain groups of people who not only are hostile to the Soysphere because of its current or historical opinions on them, but are actively antithetical to the Soysphere as a concept. But first, what is the Soysphere, our thesis, anyway? The most straightforward answer is that the Soysphere is a collection of websites, or more accurately, a subculture or community, of reactionaries who make memes mocking the dregs of society. At first it was soyboys, but towards the mid-point of 2023, it became clear that transvestites were the preferred target.

Groups such as furries, homosexuals, transvestites, failtrolls, sexual and moral degenerates, uneducated outsiders, and people whose sole purpose it is to undermine, troll, harass, or bait all fall under the anti-Sharty. The anti-Sharty is not a clique, nor is it any sort of unified group. Instead, I use the term as an umbrella to classify all those whose existences are an affront to the Soysphere.

Now, as you read that list, you may have dismissed me as simply another bitter meathead advocating for the banning of people I do not like. But ask yourself this right now. What have any of these people done for the Soysphere? What do we stand to gain by banishing these people for good?

I will tell you the answers. Nothing, and everything. Look at the Soysphere. An overwhelming majority of the atrophy that has affected it is due to these people that, by the stubbornness of its ineffective leaders, have been allowed to take roots. They are nothing more than pests and we are committing collective suicide by pardoning these groups over and over again. People are fearful of banning large swathes of unsavory people because they are afraid of a potential purity spiral, or that it will be used to justify tyrannical mod actions, or, more likely, they are simply brainwashed or are part of these exact groups. SWABooru does this exact thing and they are much better off than we are, having banned almost everyone on the above list and being better off because of it. There is simply no excuse for not expelling the anti-Sharty.
