Idk being more social after covid has made me more conservative. A lot of behavior that I assumed was exclusively online turned out to be surprisingly common in real life.
A lot of the sexism parts in particular were jarring. A significant minority of grown ass women basically used #metoo as leverage to behave in a sexist and immature manner. There’s also a culture where other women are extremely reluctant to call out that behavior, or else they might be accused of “internalizing their sexism” and not sufficiently supporting women. I dismissed the postings about that as incel-bait during the pandemic, but it turns out it’s extremely common.
No one maybe talking about lookism but they’re practicing it.
Between strangers, yes. For social groups, people tend to stop seeing each others looks as they get to know each other. This is where people’s advice to work on your personality is necessary. If you’re out just expecting random people to approach you because of your looks, you’re going to be waiting around for a long time unless you’re blessed with the lucky quality of being born gorgeous.
If you go outside more you also notice that there aren’t a lot of gorgeous people in the real world. (No, Tinder, clubs and other places where people LARP don’t count as the real world.)
Wait, really? Whenever I spend more time at work or at home I tend to forget how many really attractive people are really out there. Whenever I go out after a long period of time I end up being positively surprised. I would also not look at Tinder as an example, but because of the opposite: people on tinder look much uglier than in real life. But then again, usually outside you don’t look at people for more than one or two seconds, while on tinder there’s loads of photos for you to examine every single flaw
I’m pretty sure political extremism works the same way.
I have friends from high school who fell into the alt-right rabbit hole. They are obsessed with transgenderism. If you believe their depressing timelines, trans people are absolutely everywhere, behaving like total degenerates and grooming kids left and right. They send me an unhealthy amount of videos to prove their claims.
Meanwhile in the real world, I’ve encountered maybe 5 trans people that I recognized as such, and they were behaving normally, and not one tried to groom my kids! But if I tell them that they dismiss it on account of my woke mind virus / Trump derangement syndrome. They’re single, don’t have kids, and spend most of their time doomscrolling or watching the French version of Fox News, but they know better than me what’s going on in my kids’ school…
As if anon would call those conversations normal or pleasant.
Interacting face-to-face with non-degenerates results in normal chat. Whoda thunk?
I think their cope is that “people aren’t mentioning that but they think it” etc
The Woke Police ™ have eyes on every wall.
Imagine being so obsessed by black dick as 4Chan.
Wtf is a Gonial Angle or a Canthal tilt?
Things people think about when they haven’t learned to manage obsessive rumination in their own minds and live every day with a kind of stress or misery that few people who are even slightly healthier can even comprehend.
Who the fuck cares honestly other than shut in weirdo’s
Gonial angle is this:
Canthal tilt is that:
As I was googling I’ve seen articles mentioning some angles statistically more attractive than others, that’s predictable, but then incels take it as another reason why they are genetically predisposed to stay virgins and have no power to change that.
I’ve no doubt that at least half the articles about those phrases will lead you down a path of right wing fuckbaggery.
Some people take pleasure in being pitied and victimised.
The ifunny watermark really tips this over the edge, comedically.
It could only be beaten by a SomethingAwful watermark (do they have one?) on a picture of non-attractive angles.
Ah, am woman, can confirm I only date mane with a Gonial Angle over 140 degrees, or under 30
how do you bring out the protractor on dates?
Oh, us females inherently judge the angle flawlessly on first sight.
As a gigachad I can confirm.
I’m going to guess at “Incel excuses for not getting laid.”
Anything but the harsh reality that they could get laid if they behaved better and presented themselves better
And bathed
You need to touch less grass and spend more time online.
Do I really?
Depends on whether you want to a cool kid.
This is why people like this are told to go outside or touch grass.
most of them were social outcasts long before 4chan. That’s actually how they got there in the first place.
Everyone will be having pleasant conversations outside, but these guys won’t.
Frankly all of 4chan should.
But then our supply chain of clinically insane greentexts would fail.
I heard a story about a whole world that was perfect because they locked a kid up in a room and threw all the bad stuff in there with the kid. The poor kid suffered all of the world’s miseries so that others could enjoy life. That kid’s name? 4chan.
4chan is 99% deplorable garbage. I won’t even go into /b/. Helllll no. But oddly enough, some of the internet’s best memes come out of there.
4chan is what the internet would look like if everything had the bare minimum of moderation. Actually a very interesting case study about the human psyche, and I’ve had many a interesting conversation on there, especially early internet days.
Is it a shithole? Overall, yes. But the right board at the right time is truly early internet ethos.
If the entire internet was as unmoderated as 4chan, it would be a lot less extreme than 4chan is.
But since there are only very few places like that, all the weirdos and nazis congregate there, cause that’s where they don’t get banned for using the n-word.
Isn’t the concept of a meme itself a leak from 4chan?
The original idea of a meme came from Dawkins in the 70’s, and “Internet Meme” from Godwin in the early 90’s, talking about message boards, usenet, listservs, etc.
4chan did not start the concept, no. Lolcats came from 4chan, iirc. But internet memes predate the existence of 4chan.
You think you’re funny but you’re just cringe
Assuming only a place of pure misery could produce those memes
Through this sieve would come the ascended madmen. Those who escaped the cave and rejected the reality without, retreating to their chamber of hate and stagnation. The truly unhinged. No more naive, parroted bastardizations of the Socratic method. Only irreparables.
This select choir of lunatics voluntarily ablating their sanity will be decadence enough, I think
interact with people
Instructions unclear, helicoptered my dick around but there appeared to be no ceiling fan.
And now the park security is approaching with tasers. I guess playgrounds aren’t considered America!
Anon learns that outdoors is fake and gay.
I am totally talking about hypergamy.
My wife talks a lot about BC. They don’t necessarily be B but BC is important.
Tbh I discuss ON more than BC. Must be regional
Fake, we occasionally mention OnlyFans even when outside
Because online, people only talk about those things.
In the real world, they are doing them. And so much more. But usually when you’re not looking.
what if going outside means walking across a half ass tarmac parking lot and then sitting at a bus stop with homeless people for 30 minutes
They’re people too, aren’t they?
Chat up the people at the bus stop. They’re probably nice. Next time, bring some warm tea or something too.
