Yeah, I always hate that kind of talk way faster than even any dumb replies that aren't completely awful, "HURR BULLY THESE PEOPLE FOR A HOBBY" and other inane reasons, said as a joke or not is stupid and bad, because people apparently always have to be reminded that previous, now and future the biggest victims of bullying are often without a doubt going to be sexual minorities, women, PoC and other at risk people, continuing to use the language of and ideas of badgering, browbeating and melting down at people, most of which are harmlessly liking a thing just adds a lot more shittiness in an already dumpster fire of a time. Like it already long since passed the point of the kind of people that blunder into any and all really mild fan chats about for example YA book type stuff, kramering in to start farting out read another book for the millionth time or whatever, getting a lot more annoying than the a lot of the time common fans they're trying to get ~sikk ownz~ on, shut up and let people enjoy things if they're not being insane.

He was a perfectly fine and normal poster until some point in 2016 (no, it wasn't Trump related). At some point in the spring-summer of 2016, something in his brain cracked and he ramped up into a turbo-rear end in a top hat and then overclocked into full on psycho stalker with a hosed up fan club.

He stalked me around SA for at least a year because I kicked him out of Let's Play for being an rear end in a top hat to people while I was a mod and would make fun of his weird rants in the GRRM thread in TBB. He had a long list of forums enemies for a menagerie of weirdo reasons apparently.

One of his favorite trolling tactics in the GRRM thread was going "Game of Thrones sucks, read some real literature like Dickens, plebeians." And I would respond with "Dickens is garbage, read Restoration literature or Romantic Era poetry" and he would just BSoD and duck out of the thread because I don't think he could handle being out-English Major'd.

is bakugon still a thing? I know people had yugioh recs before but like I guess my recommended page is all hosed up from marathoning a bunch of yugioh and magic videos because it pointed me to some dude's channel for those weird bakugon things that were like magnetic marbles you flicked into cards that popped up into monsters to...do things...I don't really remember because I was just a bit on the too old for more card game bullshit side of things when that got brought over. It's weirdly fascinating though, this dude just kinda genuinely seems passionate about these little plastic marble monsters and even though I understand nothing I kinda want to learn more.

Is 2020 just the year I get into all the things that happened in high school for my nerd rear end? I'm already buying magic cards again, is this what quarantine does to me, my friends all make sourdough bread and I'm genuinely thinking 'what if I just got into this yugioh ripoff that almost certainly is dead'.

Lamps was terrible but what was weirder were that strange gaggle of cheerleaders he managed to collect. The kind who would always tiresomely show up in threads he'd been chased out of to go :decorum: sea lion about how the guy was right really you all just can't handle it etc.

I mean Lamp's was quite transparently just misusing lit course terms and references purely to pick on people and keep fights going. Like you could easily just copy all of his posts in a thread into one reply and list of the dozen ways they completely undermined each other or were relying on well worn fallacies. And that was when Lamp's was showing enough restraint not to call users paedophiles for supervising club activities at a school they work at. Anyone else remember that? I'm pretty sure it was in one of these threads.

Even he thought his fan club was weird and creepy and torched them in a series of beyond the digital grave “I have a compulsive need to claim the last word” letters delivered by a chosen herald in QCS.

yeah, i mean i love Shakespeare because its has some great themes and stories but its mostly just interpretations of history or older stories with gently caress jokes and gore thrown in. i mostly read nonfiction and some weird classics but most fiction poo poo i read/listen to is loving brand IP based poo poo like star wars or warhammer or weird video game novels. also just fictional stuff that reads like history stuff. its probably why i liked blood and fire by grrm so much because it reads like a weird history book and the author talks about how he has to rely on super unreliable sources for everything.

also Shakespeare hot take. i have always viewed Romeo and Juliet as a black comedy.
