I thought the creepypasta really dragged. It was incredibly run of the mill and it wasn't nearly absurd or interesting enough for John's delivery.

The Ron Howard line was maybe the best thing anyone could say, if they were rapping about the grinch of course.

I mentioned it on Ballp.it, but ERB is a pretty low hurdle to jump. Its simplicity should be an advantage for this, though; you'd at least learn the basics of rap, and the structure is rudimentary enough that you can plug in your own lines fairly easily.

But for being such massive consumers of media, these guys are utter poo poo at actually watching it. They can't even grasp the basics of the structure, their references are really weak, they can't get the voices of incredibly simple characters right... Their viewing is so passive and unengaged that they can't even learn the simplest things about what they watch.

I wish I could say this was news, but while this is certainly much more blatant, this was something Homestuck taught me. At its height, there were a lot of 'fanworks' made by people who'd never read the comic, but you couldn't tell them apart from work done by actual readers because both groups failed to get any of the characters right.

It'd be pretty interesting to see an occasional throwback episode where a topic from the "early days" is revisited with the current fplus style.

There is a "merkin" in an earlier episode, but I can't remember off the top of my head. Maybe it's Just The 160,000 Of Us?

What I learned is that way back in that other(kin) episode, there were those people making fun of a guy who was a Mork otherkin and talking about how ridiculous it was. Nowadays, thanks to tumblr, you can identify as literally anything and people will support you and not even question how stupid it sounds that you are a Rupeekin with ? Block headmates or whatever the hell else.

I can sympathize with Lemon - I too am a grown man who's spent more time than is probably healthy on the Internet and I do not understand how Tumblr operates, including how it's supposed to create communities or whatever. It's even more baffling when you consider Tumblr is one part dogs loving Sherlock Holmes, one part just straight-up porn, one part triggers, and one part ~~lyke if u cry evritime~~ gifs.

That Mork guy posted that on some random forum. Try talking to people how you are a special non-human snowflake outside the insular bits of Tumblr, and they'll just back away while avoiding eye contact.

A large part of this is that Tumblr is and always has been horrible at actually being a good place to communicate. I mean, it's honestly kind of a miracle that Tumblr actually has a community in the first place. It's really hard to actually talk to people on it and every reblog chain can split into multiple separate nearly-unrelated conversations and I still have no idea how you'd find interesting blogs on it if you don't already have a few blogs that reblog things that interest you. And you know how they talked about how trigger warning tags on Tumblr are kind of pointless because you have to scroll past the post to see the tags anyway? There's a third party app that lets you blacklist tags, so you can blacklist #nsfw or #spiders or whatever and instead of seeing that picture of a naked woman covered in spiders you see "This post is tagged #nsfw and #spiders. View?" and then decide if you want to actually see some nsfw spiders yourself. This is not something that should be only available in a third party app.

Tumblr is a picture-sharing site that became a social networking site despite it's best efforts, and you can probably trace all of the problems people have with people on Tumblr back to that.
