glowing-fish posted:There have been many times when I wonder what the people on here are hiding from, why they put on masks. With all the thoughtful, interesting discussion on these forums, I wonder why the lowest common denominator has to keep on popping up. My best answer, and it is a depressing one, is that in a world where the rule of cliches and banalities is so thorough, when the media's tone of self-importance and social media's tone of jibing frivolity are so unbreakable, the only answer is to eschew the type of serious discourse that is fruitless in any case. This is why I'm hiding. This is why I wear a mask.

glowing-fish posted:I've written previously (in a thread that I can't quite remember), about the psychological roots of GBS' obsession with homosexuality. My best guess is that people who choose to communicate on the internet are often people, that, despite being intelligent and theoretically aware of social norms, do not feel an intrinsic sense of communion and fellowship with their fellow human beings. I think that the "joking" references to things such as homosexuality and cuckolding are a desperate cry for the immediate, intimate fellowship of other human beings, freed from the lenses of social posturing and multiple levels of irony. You should become the board therapist.

The 44-page thread on The Power Rangers in the TV IV forum is more troubling than anything I've seen in GBS.

He does seem really cool. I bet he smokes weed and from time to time has a couple of drinks. Good guy.

sarcasm is a type of irony, so, either way, it's irony
