Phimose Knight: Mar 5, 2013

t. Talking circa 2005 when I was but a wee lad, having "Epic Lulz" over now-evaporated videos of funny people playing videogames. Getting into audiovisual verbal slapfights with the power of webcam videos. All the amazing ASCII art on profiles and comments. I barely spoke English back then, y'know, so most of my comments read like PornHub off-the-cuff remarks. It was a hilarious and innocent time, but thinking about them now, it was also a hilarious and innocent time.
Twitter didn't exist; you couldn't sabotage your entire existence in 200 words or less and alienate people, or go through sudden changes of heart and flick your "Political Correctness" switch ON. Frankly I can hardly tell Alt-Left from Alt-Right anymore... everyone is just a dick loving bag, or a stupid bitch rear end in a top hat, and I can't stand it. Are there any movies where society undergoes a change where the two fighting sides are self-righteous cunts who hate on their enemy and seek to paint everything in their colors for the sake of 'justice' (I can accept non-social justice)?
And why are so many people against capitalism anyway, when they're always white kids who haven't known a good hard day's work in their lives? I was made to touch a cow's udders when I was a child, you know, and the disgusting syrup flowing from the teats can never leave my retinas, irises, corneas or the rest of my body, and yet these f*eaks of nature living in their comfy suburbs are like, hurr, money is a social construct, we should embrace worker's rights, because I subsist on Patreon money and Twitch Bibs anyway!
Man. MAN. Or woman, I guess. It's really annoying, and I know posting about it on a dead gay comedy forum won't change anything, but MAN/WOMAN is it really annoying.

I just listened to a recent immigrant do a twitch stream where he said this exact thing except more complaing about his mom kicking him out for drawing "lolly porn". So the voice I associate with this is a reedy voiced 22yo trying to do a batman voice and being blissfully unaware that making money off twitch is like the pot calling the kettle a liberal

yep, this combined with the collective stupidity that emerged from 9-11 is why I can't be nostalgic. It's also why I ridicule myself every time I find myself feeling shocked that trump is president.
