Rapey Joe Stalin posted:I genuinely think it's a symptom of a greater social maladjustment. Think about it, there's no actual reason to do it other than to cause distress to strangers they don't have to interact with. So why would they want to cause distress? 'Because it is funny.' Okay, why would someone find that funny? Because there is something fundamentally wrong with them. They get laughs- they get what they call, "lulz" (a corruption of LOL).

I have been sexually assaulted 3 times and I am laughing at you, for being triggered by finding out Tyrion shoots Tywin in the toilet with a crossbow and Jeffery gets poisoned. Enid Coleslaw fucked around with this message at 01:41 on Apr 9, 2014 |

Rapey Joe Stalin posted:Yeah and at a distance I can laugh at that. I also laugh at actual some human tragedies, but it doesn't mean that I would go and loosen the nuts on a fairground ride. Laughing from a distance at something unpleasant is entirely different to actually seeking to cause it. Loosening the nuts on a fairground ride is a bad thing to do, because it might kill people, but spoiling a tv show isn't a bad thing to do, because the plot is never the best part of any good work of fiction, it's the cinematography, the characterization, the acting, the dialogue, the prose, the thematic cohesion, all that sort of good poo poo. You're a little weirdo for saying the thing about killing people.

Laughing from a distance at something unpleasant is entirely different to actually seeking to cause it. The answers you seek lie in the Codex: FYAD, brother. They are a strange breed, filthy xenos that take pride in nothing that is not the utter destruction of television story plots. Their numbers are few but they are deathless, shielded by the tens of dollars in forums merchandise purchased for them by their followers as some sort of sick tribute to their ironic lords. A fyadling wields trolling with the same precision as an eldar marksman and yet it has the stopping power of a gauss weapon. I would recommend that you read cautiously however, as knowing the FYAD secret, to even come close to comprehending it is heresy and would drive all but the purest of minds mentally ill with prodromal schizophrenia. First they become obsessed with the idea of irony, and try to channel it in their daily lives and imagine funny things. Then they start posting about lunches obsessively, and repeating phrases like "I love making GBS threads inside friend of the family assholes" and "friend of the family balls" in their heads. Then they start to use their ironic style of humor to make jokes while on antipsychotics. It isnt long until they fall prey to the whispers of their god, niggerstomper58.

A bit hosed up if you ask me. that doesn't even make sense as an analogy, try this one on your think pan: spoiling me on Game of Thrones, the tv show, and raping me sexually they both "take" something that you can never get back, in one case it's my knowledge of who gets murdered in the medieval walking dead, in the other it's my innocence, trust of other human beings, self esteem, etc

Centuries old books and modern television are both stories, written by people, enjoyed by others, unspoilable. Entertainment is not milk, not even metaphorically
