GET EM
Against my better judgment, clicked the link and found the thread and whaddya know: It’s literally the same 8 or 9 guys it always is, being the same Mandark-esque nudniks they always are, going as hard in the paint as they can to “prove” how much more they know to the other 10-12 almost-dilettantes watching them, who are all just waiting for their own chance to do the same thing.
Every now and again someone points out it’s this exact insecure antisocial behavior that has caused people who work in the industry to walk out of the THX-style prison and never come back, and within seconds they shrug and revert back to sucking the weird, vaguely angry pacifier they’ve been mouthing since 2011. I guarantee you they’re F5-ing this exact thread so they can “cleverly” rebut whatever’s been said in a way that does nothing but reinforce and embody every sad aspect of the misbehavior I’m describing.
And on top of that, more than half the time they’re completely wrong, LOL.
At least a couple of them have the tiny measure of self-awareness available to notice basically every other online outlet for physical media recognizes they’re unpleasantly crazy and awful to interact with? It’s honestly kind of a miracle the larger site still allows the forums to exist, they’re clearly unneccessary at this point and considering their outsized reputation for nastiness, likely a detriment by now. It’s basically just a group home for tens of antisocial online “debate” addicts, with a couple hundred onlookers/bots milling around.
Can’t be a lot of money in that.
