Where "dick" is arbitrarily defined by a middle aged manic-depressive computer dude who may or may not consider dickish behaviour to include things like not using a shift key, liking the voices in Command & Conquer, having sex with consenting adults, advising a guy who is about to die of heart failure to avoid fatty foods, laughing at the world's worst house, laughing at Star Citizen, finding a funny hot dog man funny, being a weird dude who comes up with goofy film interpretations, grumbling about SA on an offsite or having centre-right opinions while being from the UK.

Doobie stopped being funny right around the time someone jerked off onto a picture of doobie's wife and someone else said that doobie's kid had dick sucking lips.

The problem isn't that pedantic nerds want to goose step on humor, its when unhealthy idiots go too far and run poo poo into the ground so badly that there's nothing left other than spamming a retarded meme while dutch ruddering each other.

CWC is basically what you get if you scoop out a human being's entire individuality and self and replace it with commands from the internet. He's basically a human version of Twitch Plays Pokemon, it's creepy as all gently caress I'm mostly just hoping it never happens with anyone else, but that seems wildly idealistic given how well I know how the internet works.

You really have to wonder who the broken person is in that situation. Let the dude live his/her life, christ.

From the extensive amount I've read, most posters who don't like you feel that way because you try to dictate what is funny based on your own personal opinion, rather than group dynamic. It's like telling someone that they're not having fun the "right" way.

It wouldn't be so bad if people just watched from the couch and didn't actively try to gently caress him up further.

Ulillillia was someone even the guys from 4chan decided was too precious to gently caress with and just wanted to watch him make his videos and fumble through understanding the world. That's how it should be, just watch from afar, not actually trying to absorb yourself into the internet person.

idk that I ever got way into a community here aside from Trad Games like a decade ago, and most of those posters are either gone or namechanged or don't post outside of there very often. Got to know baloogan over IRC back then, though, and for some reason I'll never forget a mundane thing he said about why he's an insomniac.

Does anyone remember how for a while there was a running joke about how the forums were populated by one poster and a thousand Lowtax sock puppets? The heck did that come from and why did it have legs?

He also strikes me as a guy that's much harder to gently caress with, confident in his own self-worth to superhuman degrees, but not in a douchey way. Unlike CWC, he doesn't seem to care if people online like him or not, aside from the very natural impulse to want to have friends and stuff.

I broke my rule of "no internet weirdos" on Facebook by adding him a few years ago. I'm glad I did, its nice to see him doing well from time to time and also I know he has my name on a spreadsheet counting the times he's seen me say a swear

I stopped really following his output after he unfriended me (I swear constantly on Facebook), but The Legend of the 10 Elemental Masters is probably one of the better self-published fantasy novels I've read, at least insofar as it was unpredictable and concerned with details in a way that made it unique and entertaining to read, instead of another Tolkien/GRRM/etc ripoff. It basically reads like if Homestuck was 100% deadpan.

I used to be on the forum that eventually turned into Kiwifarms.

About 5 or 6 years ago, it was purely about Chris. I was interested in him because the circumstances of his life were so unique, it was almost like an experiment: what happens when you take an autistic kid, actively prevent him from learning how to take care of himself or work a job, and put him on disability so he just spends his life playing video games and hitting on girls without needing to put effort toward anything? It's a bizarre situation that you don't see documented in such detail anywhere else.

At that time, the forum had a mix of good and bad. A lot of the members became friends off-site, and I even met two of them; they were normal, well-adjusted people with adult jobs and healthy relationships. One of them was a developer for the 1990s Mechwarrior games, who sadly died of his various medical problems recently. There were some people who were clearly not well-adjusted, though, like a crazy diaperfur who threw tantrums and stalked people. Eventually one of those dramatic instances led to myself and a few other people no longer being involved in the site, and I generally stopped paying attention to Chris except checking every month or two to see if he or his mom died yet.

The forum turned into Kiwifarms, which is completely awful. They've become so obsessed with the idea of a "lolcow" that they stalk ordinary people because they might be an SJW, obsessively detailing every tweet and Facebook post and trying to doxx anyone they see. The few people who stuck around turned from regular folks into massive creeps. Some of them even stalked my wedding registry and put up creepy messages after they found it. It's like they devolved.
