| The '''Gay Nigger Association of America''', or '''GNAA''', is a self-aggrandizing ] ] which primarily targets ] communities in an effort to disrupt their normal activities. Members have flooded ]s, produced ], ]ed ] ] lines, as well as flooded, mass-invited, and trolled ] and ] channels. GNAA members are generally perceived as nuisances by the communities they attack, who frequently respond with technological and social anti-trolling measures (such as ]) to limit future disruption caused by trolling. | |||
| ==Background information== | |||
| The group originated on the discussion website ]. It claims to consist of six leaders and approximately 30–40 other members. GNAA first appeared in ], trolling Slashdot using ] logos representing the organization and satirical ]s pertaining to the contents of Slashdot articles. | |||
| ==Membership== | |||
| GNAA encourages people to join by watching the ] ] ] '']'', from which their name derives. The GNAA's entry requirements also include the successful achievement of a "]" on Slashdot consisting of GNAA ] text, or registering one's support by upwardly ] "GNAA" comments. A test on the subject matter in ''Gayniggers from Outer Space'' is administered by an ]. | |||
| ==Notable activities== | |||
| GNAA gained notoriety in the Slashdot community when they launched several ] against the site, with one article receiving more than 10,000 posts. Slashdot subsequently implemented ]–banning measures in its posting system, and the ]s are claimed by GNAA members to have spurred this change. | |||
| GNAA has also created the ] track "] Extreme", featuring samples taken from their troll phone calls made to ], and the "Hey, everybody! I'm looking at ] ]!" voice from the Last Measure shock site. | |||
| During ], GNAA members flooded and attacked the popular image board website ], likely contributing to the fourth non-permanent shutdown of the site shortly thereafter. | |||
| In ], GNAA member JesuitX submitted leaked ]s of the then forthcoming ] ] to popular Apple ] news website . ( and ). However, when the source was found to be from GNAA, many declared the screenshots to be fake, based on the apparent disreputability of the GNAA. | |||
| During late ], the GNAA launched a campaign against websites and by ] ]s onto their affiliated forums. AIMGirl subsequently locked registration and the AIMGuy forums closed. AIMGirl is currently back up, with different ] software. | |||
| GNAA member rolloffle (also known as James A. C. Joyce) wrote the article "", which then made it to the front page of ], a community-moderated site. Rolloffle also produced several other stories and ] entries. | |||
| ==Racism and sexism== | |||
| The name "Gay Nigger Association of America" is often perceived as ] and ], mainly because of the word '']''. However, most GNAA members deny allegations of actual racism, implying that these statements are made only to elicit angry responses and to subvert or otherwise challenge long-standing social ]. Critics of this behavior suggest that using the term ''nigger'' in any context is extremely offensive and inappropriate. True to their perceived offensiveness, GNAA members also regularly make posts to ] and other web sites claiming that ]s were responsible for the ]. | |||
| The plot of the organization's official movie consists of gay black men who travel to ] and proceed to eliminate women from the planet. Some believe the ] suggested by this plot may be shared by the organization, which has no female members. This statistic may not be indicative of sexism, however, since ], where the GNAA originated, and the ] industry in general, is dominated by males, and the gender makeup of the GNAA may simply reflect that. | |||
