I will never understand the mod compulsion to probate funny posters while something funny is ongoing.




the most dangerous thing in the world is other people having harmless fun in a way that you, yourself, wouldn't

can't have it. treat the cspam COVID thread seriously, especially its posters who whirr in their positive pressure respiratng stormtrooper uniforms - laugh at people being hysterically sensitive to the smallest commentary that doesn't reinforce their own values and priorities? Don't be a loving chud. Making fun of things kills people.

The covid thread people have basically cultivated wearing masks and respirators into a really weird hobby. No one is asking them to stop i think, so much as acknowledge what a stupid waste of time it is, like all hobbies.

I spend 1000s of dollars on steam games I'll never play, you wander around the local farmers market looking like a bad cosplay of moltar from space ghost. They're both bad, but I'm not claiming that if everyone simply played more indie pixel metroidvanias then the world would be a better place (even though it would)

seriously lol idk how they don't get that

they act like everyone who thinks their personal obsession with this one respiratory virus is silly is a Detractor with political goals, trying to bully and shame people into exposing themselves to the plague
they don't want to admit they look silly, not even for a second

You can't ask a fish not to swim, you can't ask a bird not to fly, you can't ask a pale introverted IT guy who never goes outside anyway not to buy five figures worth of industrial grade air filters and then watch hours of youtube videos on how to cobble them together into a pressure locked suit like tony stark toiling away in a middle eastern terrorist camp.

there was one goon living in china with his wife during the lockdowns (might still be there, don't remember his name) who gave a pretty detailed and enlightening breakdown of what it was like over there - basically the lockdowns were successful not because of the stern but gentle hand of xi jinping thought but because the culture had successfully stigmatized people who didn't take appropriate safety measures, as opposed to the US where the opposite rapidly happened. cities still had a lot of trouble with institutional inertia in the face of evidence (government workers hosing down streets with disinfectant long past the point it had been shown not to help and that no one particularly enjoyed breathing in bleach) and logistical/supply distribution problems, not to mention the risk of snap lockdowns shutting you into whatever building you might be occupying away from home

most of the thread ignored him and most of the ones who replied did so to call him a liar

A recurring theme in a lot of these topical events is that a lot of Americans consider following the rules as something beneath them, so people completely freak out at being told what to do because it's supposed to be something that only lower class people have to deal with. There's rather obvious historical reasons for how this became the culture.

edit: come to think of it it's kind of like a diffused version of the submarine thing. We're rich, we don't have to listen to safety precautions or basic science because having this much money means being able to ignore the rules and do whatever you want.

I think some of them are being honest, if projecting their own anxieties. Like imagine trying to bully GXL as if someone with the balls to do busking in a PAPR is somehow susceptible to peer pressure.


"i think they're projecting the kind of behavior that we constantly reinforce to each other and have for years"

Paradoxish posted:

Yeah, it's honestly extremely funny to think that someone walking around in public with a PAPR is going to be even remotely susceptible to online bullying. It feels like it comes from the same place as people walking up to someone in an N95 and coughing performatively. Like, buddy, I don't think you fully understand what's happening here.
