There's no such thing as the silent majority. If you think that the people who agree with you are just not speaking up for some reason, you're actually just expressing very unpopular opinions.

I like you too so I don't feel bad in saying that this is a really ironic thing for you to be posting

FAROOQ's posting is good and a nice way of hosing down the circle jerk IOSM turns into.

FAROOQ would be good if he/she was funny but instead it's one of those gimmick accounts that only works on people who are totally unfamiliar with how they opperate. You're even more subtle than that

Weirdly enough like a lot of other gimmick posters FAROOQ posts normal in PSP and is decent there. It's like posting about wrestling and mma is already so ridiculous anyone other than Banjo can't be goofy there

I dunno, she posts literally the same thing as others in that thread, just from The Wrong Side. That alone makes people in there really really angry.

No she replies to stuff like "here is a blatantly sexist Facebook post" with "I see you think women shouldn't be free to let men beat them if they want", it's dumb baseline trolling 95% of the time. She can be funny with it sometimes but it's rare which is why PYF barely responds to her anymore

Which is more often than not an allusion to something in that particular poster's history. Like how she kept responding #KillAllMen and #WhiteGenocide to people who'd been pushing those on twitter and bragging about their social media prowess in the thread.

Anything that dilutes the white noise of IOSM's circle jerk is good, IMO.

If that's what she's doing then that's way over my head although her feigned hatred of white people but support of conservative alt-right stuff is pretty widespread and I haven't seen any deviation from it

Then again I was certain Jenner was a troll but it turns out she's actually that crazy of a far leftist so

I'm tired of hearing about money, money, money, money, money. I just want to play the game, drink Pepsi, wear Reebok.
I think it is largely uninteresting whether someone is a troll or not. If you wilfully present yourself a certain way and advocate a stance that is indistinguishable from one that others present genuinely, then you're effectively no different from people who hold those beliefs genuinely, except that you are for some reason taking pride in being able to pass yourself of as something completely mundane.

The "feigned hatred of white people" thing. Jesus, so many goons really play on that it gets tiring. You have the feeling half these people would be flagellating themselves between posts about their whiteness, if time on imgur allowed it.

What annoys me is when people call someone a troll for having a radical opinion.

I got called a troll for saying Stanley Kubricks films are just not entertaining for example. That's not trolling, its not like i said "Kubrick films are garbage and you need a lobotomy to enjoy them".

Posting something you know people are going to argue with just because is trolling, whether you believe it or not.

If that's true then Captain Invictus is the biggest troll on this site because he constantly posts anime and manga recommendations in video game threads when he knows it riles people up.

As some other goon once said, being called a statist by a libertarian is like being called an adult-fucker by a pedophile.

I know, the level of fandom he displays is borderline mental illness. Also he is on the top 10 most ignored users on the site and he claims its because of his posts in the undertale fan art thread.

Haha no its because hes a fat, balding anime obsessed virgin with daddy issues.

I thought Undertale was a really cute game. But, like, you can really tell who the target audience is. Didn't really impact my enjoyment of it, but it was there the whole time.

Because i find him oddly fascinating Mu. There are a lot of things about his behaviour that combine to make him a somewhat interesting character. The utter obsession over anime and manga, the obsession over undertale, the insistence that no mans sky would turn into a great game, the praise he lavished on a 40 minute long video of dave lang playing jenga at a party. Its all just too loving weird, its a mystery i need the solution for.

I might be wrong but i suspect something horrifically traumatic happened to him and I'm desperate to know what. I don't know if he was abused or in a car accident or what but people do not behave that way without something being the cause.

After he got me banned from the giant bomb thread i tried to add him on steam to talk man to man about why he acts the way he does but he flat out blocked me. There is something he is hiding and i need to know.

I didn't enjoy Undertale. I thought it was OK for an hour or so, but then I just lost all interest. I wouldn't call it a "bad" game since it is playable and does what its supposed to do, but it certainly isn't a game I'd ever feel compelled to play again.

statists are pretty near to totalitarians in intensity and the dictionary definition doesn't convey that very well - statists with an authoritarian lean go for fascism while socialists statists desire USSR levels of economic & social subordination to the one party such that stalinism is a valid end

if you're noticing the term's kinda redundant remember that Ayn Rand popularized it so she could lump the welfare system through mental gymnastics with theocracies/absolute monarchies/other dictatorships so the punch-line is def still good

Maybe it's :thejoke: but this is really weird.

Anyway sometimes Jastiger has a valid point but he always has to throw in some jab at poor/uneducated people (but only if they are born in a certain region of the USA he likes to mention) and it detracts from it all.

The difference is oldpainless is actually pretty funny, whereas FAROOQ is just an rear end in a top hat.

And the "more like old(something)less" comebacks are always so dumb but I love them.
