Isn't it, though? Don't the problems that lead to the former also explain the prevalence of the latter? On the internet, there's even less reason, arguably, to exclude someone because hey, they're not in your physical space, and you don't want to be rude and be a bully, right? It's easier to accept someone's lovely behaviors if you only interact with them in virtual media because you can always walk away from the computer/phone/game, so people never get their behaviors checked by others and it leads to the same types of sweeping behaviors under the rug as happens with real-life GSF.

The ability of every weirdo to meet other like-minded weirdos on the internet and form a community there in which they can think themselves normal is certainly a phenomenon of its own, but that's not what the geek social fallacies thing is talking about.

Yes, he posed as a lesbian (?) helicopter pilot in the women's chat thread, was outed and banned for ban evasion just as he was getting a funny GBS thread off the ground. Or maybe I'm thinking of Bruiser (remember Bruiser?). Yes, I think that was Bruiser, who ended his career with a spectacular banme (I want to say a long string of goatse and other gross-out posts, but I can't be bothered to look it up), got a perma and so now gets banned on sight

"The investigation had found no evidence of a leak or explosion in the underground gas distribution system, said Steve Schultz, a spokesman for Madison Gas & Electric. That would rule out an underground gas main rupture, but not necessarily a gas leak inside the destroyed house.

MGE did not receive calls for a gas leak prior to the explosion, and the company’s first responders were on the scene within 10 minutes to shut off gas to the residence, Schultz said."

Dog, I coined the term 'tactical realism'. I just told you that Snyder sides with the girl who chooses love over safety. In her actions she endangers herself, but her inspiration also frees everyone from the confines of the mall. Snyder uses the same imagery of 'risking your life to save a dog' for the death of Superman's dad.

Let's cut to the chase here: Romero's film is the power fantasy. The basic premise is that a societal reset button has been pressed, and these characters now have the opportunity - the power - to choose whatever community they want. So when they fail, the failure is theirs alone (e.g. Stephen stupidly tried to protect some pies). Though Romero includes extremely vague hints at 'what they should have done', his film ends with an ironic dream-sequence happy ending after Peter shoots himself in the head - an admission of defeat on Romero's part. It's his failure to conceive of a satisfactory resolution to the conflict. (We all know that the film was originally to end with the Fran and Peter commuting suicide, but Romero liked the characters too much...).

Dawn Of The Dead 2004 is, as a total contrast, a powerlessness fantasy. (More specifically: it explores and then rejects the fantasy of powerlessness.) The basic premise is that the characters have resigned themselves to doing nothing, because they believe they are completely constrained. Ana responds to the death of her husband by going to the mall, sitting around, watching the atrocities in the news, staying passive. Michael, also, hasn't stopped working at Best Buy. When he talks about his job selling televisions, he uses the present tense. His 'promotion' hasn't made him any happier. And the same is true of the zombies themselves: they can only articulate their discontent through random outbursts of rage. Snyder's film is one where the characters succeed completely at controlling the mall, and yet find themselves no happier. It's Nicole's action that shocks the heroes out of complacency, and their decision is ultimately to risk everything in the pursuit of an impossible goal.

A basic premise is that the apocalypse has effectively already happened. We are 'living in the end times.'So how do you react?

The idea to leave the mall is absolutely incomprehensible to someone caught up in the ideological universe of the mall. As Hodgepodge correctly points out, this is no cathartic fantasy. And yet the ending isn't unhappy. The characters have escaped the universe, leaving behind only this 'found footage' document. There is no possibility that they survive, and yet we never exactly see them die.

SubG, you've botched this 'internal logic' you're talking about, and the failing is obvious: "I'll hasten to add here that I don't agree with this. I'm just saying...". If you're simply talking about the narrative structure, which is a fairly objective thing, why this qualification? Why are you afraid that you will be perceived as endorsing the imagined army of 'psychotic Best Buy incels', unintentionally declaring them avatars of justice?

The truth is that you absolutely agree with this bizarre imaginary opinion. You're employing this neoreactionary terminology and so on, reading the film as if you were one of them. Of course you don't agree with the 'alt-right' movement; you're just saying that, if you were a psychotic incel... well, you would reach the exact same conclusions you've already reached.

I can't really agree. The article, or whatever you want to call it, is about why certain existing (small, usually in-person) social groups fail to kick out bizarre weirdos, not about the emergence of new, largely internet-based social groups composed entirely of bizarre weirdos.

I can't believe I'm actually trying to logically think this through in my head but here we go. . .

1) A nipple is extremely sensitive to pressure - seriously tweak your own nipple right now. You don't even need to hit it especially hard or be lactating or aroused or anything to get a flash of pain/pleasure there that you won't see applying a similar squeeze to your ear, nose, elbow, or even genitals.

2) A turgid penis is a lot stiffer and more resisting than your average nipple. You can actually squeeze one pretty loving hard without it getting painful. Even the head can take a lot more in the way of being smashed or squeezed than a nipple. These things are designed to be the penetrating prow of a mighty trireme, after all.

3) Babies don't have teeth. That's where most of the bad parts of biting during a blowjob happen. As long as skin isn't broken and they aren't dragged down the length like a loving rasp there's actually a time and place for nibbling in a good blowjob. "Nibbling" a nipple? Man, you better either be mostly just applying pressure with your lips or have some fine loving motor control over your jaw.

4) Finally: Purple nurples hurt like a motherfucker. Something similiar-ish doesn't have anything like the same affect when applied to a hard dick.

In short, as the owner/operator of both a dick and a set of (admittedly male) nipples I'm not entirely sure that Suetonius is writing about impossibilities here.

And now, having spent my morning coffee contemplating the logistics of blowjobs from infants, I'm going to go do anything else for the rest of the day and try to forget I ever sat down to think this through.

Bent over keyboards, like old men with their walkers,
tired, bored, we cursed through the memes,
Till on the haunting mods we turned our backs
And towards the next thread began to trudge.
Men clicked "Next Page". Many had lost their place
But limped on, eyes bloodshot. All were lame; all faggots;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of disappointed trolls that posted behind.

GAS! Gas! Quick, goons! An ecstasy of backspacing,
cancelling posting just in time;
But someone still was posting in all caps
Aimless like a man in fire or lime.
Dim, through the misty pages and thick green light
As under a green sea, I saw him shitposting.

In all my dreams, before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, cursing, strawmanning, frothing with rage.

If in some smothering dreams you too could read
the Leper Colony that we saw him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the talking points
Come gargling from his filth-corrupted brain,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,--
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To newbies ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Bans are just tenbux,
Never stop posting.

So one time I actually showed up for a booty call. Just to see. Never actually done it before. Guy was drunk, naked, and cooking boxed fettuccine alfredo and burning it. He was also watching Seth and Miri make a porno. He kept going on about the fake boobs in the movie. He did not offer me burnt fettuccine and ate all of it in front of me. Then he balanced a red solo cup on his flaccid dick. I don't know how he did that because I decided at that point to go home.

JERRY: "Can we not do this right now? I told you, incest porn is not really part of my wheelhouse, George..."
GEORGE: "What the hell is a wheelhouse? It sounds nautical. What does sailing have to do with incest, Jerry? What does sailing have to do with anything?!"
JERRY: "Anyway, you were saying...?"
GEORGE: "This site, Jerry, it's just a bunch of videos of the same guy filming his 'stepsister'. Different girl every video. Same guy, different girl, every video. This guy has a thousand step-sisters! And he always says the same awful lines. 'Oh, I have a date this weekend but I'm afraid she won't like me, can I practice on you?' Like any step-sister is gonna go for that! Then before you know it, he's whippin' out this huge uncircumcised penis-"
JERRY: "Please, can we not do the circumcision thing again?"
GEORGE: "Oh, that's not even the half of it, Jerry! He whips out this firehose and says 'You don't think my girlfriend is gonna laugh at it, do you?' Smug little jerk. He knows he's big! He's just rubbing our faces in it!"
JERRY: "And his sister's, apparently."
GEORGE: "Step-sister, Jerry! STEP! Then he does the same five moves, missionary, cowgirl, reverse cowgirl, doggy, moneyshot. No variety. A thousand different step-sisters, same five moves every video. It's obscene."
JERRY: "Well, it's pornography, George. Incest pornography. It's supposed to be obscene!"
GEORGE: "Dammit, Jerry, step isn't incest! It's no more taboo than teachers or cougars or milves!"
JERRY: "You mean milfs?"
GEORGE: "No, Jerry, I mean milves! Unless you've seen a pack of wolfs running around lately?"
JERRY: "OK, OK, milves. So you're saying step isn't taboo."
GEORGE: "Not at all! It's vanilla! And THAT'S what makes it obscene! When we were growing up, incest was a real taboo. A sister would sneak into her parents' room while they were asleep and she'd fellate her dad, who was circumcised, by the way, and pray mom didn't wake up. Or dad would have another late night at the office, so mom would wake up Junior and he'd dive right into that bushy muff! None of this step nonsense!"

Enter KRAMER.

JERRY: "I had no idea this was so important to you, George."
GEORGE: "Someone's gotta stand up against the step! Incest used to mean something in this country, Jerry."
KRAMER: "Just one more area where the Japanese are giving us a spanking! You wouldn't believe what they've accomplished, Jerry! Inter-generational bukkake! Oooh, mama! It's taking those islands by storm!"
JERRY: "Inter-what??"
GEORGE: "You hear that, Jerry?! JAPAN! It's Pearl Harbor all over again, Jerry!"
