Oh god, shut the gently caress up, you self-involved rear end in a top hat. This is the poo poo I'm talking about. This is when I get to the point where I just start wondering, "Do you have a loving job? Don't you have to go to the supermarket? Don't you have to pay some bills?" HOW THE gently caress DO YOU SPEND SO MUCH TIME CRAWLING UP YOUR OWN NAVAL-GAZING rear end in a top hat DEFINING JUST EXACTLY HOW YOU EMBRACE YOUR "WOMEN-NESS"!?

You are never going to be validated as a woman because you, wait for it, AREN'T A loving WOMAN. A "normal" man is never going to validate you as a woman because the sort of men who will flatter and admire a woman will only give you that sorta of validation or rush if you trick them, which you already admitted. That only leaves you with the fetishists, which you are apparently too good for.

Look, your life doesn't get to be perfect. No one's life is exactly how they want it. I wanted to be the youngest ever WWF Intercontinental champion when I was a kid, now look at me. You wanted to be a girl with real girl parts in a big pink poofy dress and live in a castle where the strong manly man would protect you. Well, grow the gently caress up. Is every relationship with a fetishist gonna work out? Of course not. Every relationship of any time doesn't always work out. But it is your best bet. And yes, it might feel weird that only fetishists are interested in you, but you are a sexual freak. That's not an insult. Nothing wrong with being a sexual freak, but that is what you are. Fetishism might seem creepy when you are the object of it, but that's just the way it is. If you are 400 pounds, you better embrace the fat fetishists because that is gonna be your best bet. If your a cripple who likes men to suck on their arm stomp, or you like to get punched in the face during loving, you're gonna have to accept the fetishists as your main intimate partners.

While you are so goddamn self-involved with how you feel and what you want and how nice validation from a man in a bar is, have you considered the other side of that equation? No, of course you haven't.

Let me give it to you. That "volunteer firefighter" really is a volunteer firefighter. In fact he used to be a full-time firefighter. At the time he and his fiancee of six years were planning their marriage. Then one night after a party he finds her loving 2 of his fellow firefighters. He confronts her afterwards and she drunkenly says many very hurtful things about him that invalidate him as a man, a provider, and a lover. They break up and not being able to go in every week and see the men who hosed his fiancee, he quits working as a firefighter and gets a typical desk job, but he becomes a volunteer firefighter so he can still help fight forest fires. You see, he is a huge environmentalist, apparently another thing that his fiancee felt didn't make him a Real Man. And now, after six years he is single, and he's into his early 30s and feels like he has lost an entire chunk of his life, having wasted it on that loving oval office of a fiancee. Men a decade younger than him already have a wife and children. At the gym he sees younger guys attracting all the looks from the girls on the treadmills and suddenly he feels like he is standing still. He hits the bar scene, completely out of practice, and embarrasses himself, appears old or out of touch, girls laugh at him after he buys them drinks and they wander off, but he really is a sweet guy who was heartbroken and doesn't know how to start again. He feels too old to go to the night clubs, so he sticks in the lesser popular bars, usually during the week. Finally he meets a girl at one of these bars who is attractive and laughs at his jokes, and stays after he buys her a drink, and she seems to really like him. So HE feels validated and they talk and drink until closing time and then she wants to come home with him. So this volunteer firefighter feels like a man again, feels a little ego boost and self-worth that can only come from an admiring woman, and they end up back at his place and talk and drink some more and begin to make out, and he is finally feeling that maybe he can recover from losing six years of his life, maybe he still has something to offer, and while they kiss, tongues in each other's mouths, his hand goes up her leg and as he pulls her panties to the side, a cock flops into his fingers. And suddenly he realizes the truth: he's been making out with a loving tranny. And all those things fears, insecurities, and his broken heart come swimming to the surface. He's humiliated, disgusted, probably pretty sexually confused, and now the tranny is on his couch talking about "her" personal validation and how she didn't mean to let it go this far, but it felt nice, and she was so excited that a man treated her like a woman and not like a funny gay man, and this volunteer firefighter is sitting there shell-shocked, thinking about seeing 2 of his buddies nailing his beloved fiancee from both ends, remembering all the awful things his finacee said to him when she was drunk, remembering how depressed he was that the girls in the gym don't look at him anymore, and how excited and happy he was that this girl in a bar seemed charmed by him and that it validated him, and now 2 hours later she's a weeping tranny on his couch talking about her needs.

Yeah, someone might end up getting loving punched in that situation, and you'd deserve every bruise. Think about someone else for a little bit. You might WANT and NEED certain things, but guess what? So does everyone else, and they might be closer to the edge than you are.

Grow the gently caress up.

do you really think that it was entirely due to the admins trying to destroy it because of sheer wickedness and not because you had a collection of unmedicated lunatics arguing at length about whether trans women posting in a thread were too threatening to cis women? like, groverhaus was the death blow, but don't pretend that there weren't a bunch of hosed-up people in there before it got rfa'd

Grow the gently caress up.

you stupid oval office

you stupid, stupid oval office, you don't understand a drat thing

you loving idiot, this doesn't even have anything to DO with you, FUCKSTAIN

It's not "being made fun of" that I object to, you illiterate retarded loving shitstain CUNTRAG. I know how that works, imbecile. Pay loving attention.

It's absolute morons like you who think there's such a thing as "bad posting" - define it, you can't' - and repeat the word "unfunny" like a mantra because there's literally NOTHING ELSE you can possibly use, and it's vague enough that it's basically meaningless anyway. I'm a white-noise poster and best AND at worst. I always was. And you loving well know it, you oval office. YOU KNOW IT. I never posted anything that anyone could possibly have remembered the following day. Somehow that means I deserve to be banned. Twice in one week.

It's absolute morons like you who loving scream at me for trying to stop the threadshitting instead of screaming at the loving threadshitter himself. I KNOW you don't loving care, you stupid oval office, I DON'T WANT YOU TO CARE. How can you possibly think I want you to care, you dumb motherfucker? I was trying to make Sawfish boy stop loving making GBS threads up every thread he can find me in. That is all I ever wanted, and you think I'm the villain for it. All anyone ever had to do was leave me the gently caress alone, but you loving CAN'T, and you know why? Because I was always going to take the loving fall because that's how the cards are stacked. I'm obviously getting banned, quite possibly permabanned, and all because some cunts happened to be bored. Why leave me alone when you can cause a massive burnout/meltdown?

How the gently caress DARE you scream at ME for taking exception to being loving stalked so I can be used as a shitposting Judas Goat? How the gently caress DARE YOU make ME the loving bad guy in this scenario?

And of course, long posts like this are sneered at too. "LOL YOU CARE ABOUT AN INTERNET FORUM". Yeah, well, guess what, YOU'RE ALSO POSTING ON AN INTERNET FORUM, IDIOT. You wouldn't have posted that despicable poo poo if you didn't also care. Besides, I've got a good reason to care. Two, actually. One: I was enjoying posting here and reading the politcal cartoon thread. It was funny. It was a fun thing to do. And then people like Flub ruined it, ruined this thread for everyone, but hey: he'll probably get loving Plat for getting me banned. More importantly, this is a pay forum. $10 for being kicked in the teeth by a oval office with a red avatar and then get punished for being kicked in the teeth by a oval office with a red avatar. In a sane world I'd get a refund for this poo poo.

But that's how the Internet works, you see. It's loving highschool again, only with the classes removed and just the social power structures left. The original jocks don't post on the Internet of course, because they're too jogging around cities wearing suits and barking into iPhones, but the nerds are in their element. They can finally become the popular jocks. They can finally be top of the league, the tormentors instead of the tormented. And so it goes that the nerds themselves divide in exactly the same way, with the most ruthless, least intelligent-seeming at the top.

And under these auspices we all bathe in a ceaseless carnival of negativity, because obviously negativity is what's cool. A Spore creature shaped like a lynched black man? YOU HAVE MY LOLS GOON SIR. Here's a picture of a decapitated baby! EDGY! It doesn't need a point! It just needs to be pointlessly offensive! Here's Hitler dressed as a pimp standing over a Jewish grave! You know, if the Holocaust were inherently funny, they wouldn't have had the Nuremburg Trials. See, that's black comedy. Not just yelling THE HOLOCAUST! LOL! These are the criteria under which I'm judged to be "unfunny" (which assumes I was trying to be funny in the first place, which I usually wasn't, even).

Basically what I'm saying is the Internet is poo poo, but it's mostly tolerable except when you get victimised and then victimised again on top of that.

I hope you loving die, Axelblaze, you piece of poo poo. You're scum. You're the worst in the room. You see someone being kicked to death and punch him for yelling "Stop". If I could, I'd beat my $10 out of you personally through the monitor screen. No less than I deserve.

Obviously no-one read any of this. Mostly you'll have just barked at print and subconsciously translated it into . Which, to be far, is accurate, but not adequate. I don't think. (The fact that I've made most of your criticisms of this post already probably won't stop you from making them again like you're really loving original and witty; it didn't last time) The only reason I bother posting all of this is, as I said, I'm obviously getting banned for Flub's threadshitting, so nothing matters and I might as well post a gigatic rant against everything that's wrong with the Internet. That's why I posted the first one, by the way. Anyway, quote this eight hundred times, take a vote on who's going to buy flublandDrussiavelt (or whatever) Plat. Hell, get him Archives too. Just send him a loving cash prize. Congratulations, fishman: you're the biggest gently caress in the room. Wasn't this thread about political cartoons once instead of being about me? Ah, well. It's obviously entirely my fault for one reason or another.
