I don't know if I'm the only one who's noticed this trend over the last few months, maybe a few years. But normies increasingly want to be "weird". It's kind of unreal how many people I've seen like this on the internet lately
>haha yeah bro I'm a total fucking weirdo I spend all my time on the internet >dude I'm a total fucking schizo check out this funny absurdist meme I found on tiktok/instagram/twitter/discord that has 15000 views >yeah I'm something of a right-winger lmao, you can tell because I have the same beliefs as every other based chud >anyway me and my gf are going to a party later after I hit the gym >btw have you seen that new netflix show everyone is talking about on twitter, it's pretty funny, here's a very funny meme about it
It's just the cringiest shit imaginable. It feels like an evolution of normies saying "omg I'm such a nerd!" Is this what niggers feel like when they see someone in blackface? It's infuriating.
When you compare yourself to others, which is what you're doing, you do the same thing. In point of fact, you yourself become the ultimate "normie" as you allow other's behaviors to dictate yours in the same way you criticize them of.
I am also doing the same thing that I accuse you of doing, as by writing this I have compared myself to you, but unlike you, I do not consciously give heed to what other's do or think, only myself. This though, is also a comparison, so I have betrayed my own autonomy, and have voided my "independence." Fortunately, I don't care. I don't know if you care, but since you made the original post of caring about others, I assume you do.
I don't think it's a comparison, as much as an intrusion of space. Like I mentioned about normies wanted to be nerds. Stuff like video games used to be just for losers, but then that aesthetic was eventually co-opted by e-whores. I'm sure I don't need to tell you the whole story. You know. But, it eventually got to a point where those nerds were pushed out of the spaces they created.
Granted, I don't think normies are going to co-opt being a depressed, lonely schizo the same way the co-opted being a nerd, but it's a very related feeling.

No I understand what you meant, and you are right in your points, and I even happen to personally agree as well, I was just making my own nonsensical theoretical point that popped into my head. Sort of, thinking-aloud.
It's true, the natives of our own culture, ourselves, and those we can find similarity in, have had their thoughts and ideas and joys taken from them. I have seen it myself. I have even gone so far as to try and make a difference. But one man's difference is a drop in an ocean. The truth is, is that we have been *stolen from* in a way. Not in a way of losing any material items, but in a way of losing our identities, our metaphorical *homes*. The solution is obvious, a shared solidarity and cohesion, but albiet simple and easy to understand, it is a far-off and challenging answer to the dilemma.
I care deeply for the others and what they have lost, I think you do too.
Back in the day, I used to play several shitposting characters, ranging from the autistic, overzealous comic book guy type purist, proto-#woke SJW, wignat meth-nazi, and sometimes various combinations of them all. Today, all these characters have become the average internet user. I find that posting my authentic, normal experiences and moderate opinions produce more than the amount of vitriolic rage than any of my previous characters ever elicited. But even more effective is liking things you don't like.
Come and get me, I'm the fucking boogeyman!

Oh look, another one of the puzzle piece people reeeeeeeeeeeing that his personality substitute is being taken away from him. yaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn nothing to see here.
Jaxson Rodriguez
I have, its insufferable but some are worse than others

>pic unrelated And yet it's the only reason I clicked on your thread Delineation of the self from the group is a basic part of life Everyone wants to feel special and standout but nobody actually wants to pay the costs necessary to achieve such a status
The same can be said of careers, everyone can say they'd enjoy making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year but the careers that pay such rates that they can reasonably attempt to attain require the total destruction of any kind of life outside of work This is, of course, excepting unnatural arrangements like lottery winners or being a wealthy inheritor
Everyone wants to be "not like all the other girls" of their respective demographic, but when it comes time to pay the costs for such a thing, 99% do actually fall in line and desire more than life itself to be one with the ways of the world
Trust me, you don't want to be """weird""". Nowadays it's a fucking death sentence (literally), particularly if you're the scary kind of weird that makes people think you're gonna go supreme. The best thing to do is to be totally invisible. Then you can do whatever you authentically enjoy...oh wait I forgot where we were. If you're autistically screeching that normies are co-opting your weirdness, chances are you don't actually enjoy anything and are just LARPing for the attention your pill-popping parents couldn't give you. lol, lmao even.

I have known some like you. And while I am not like you, I have always had a soft spot for those who, "take the road less travelled." Its true, I have seen it happen time and time again, so much anger against such little harmless thoughts.
You are one of the last of a dying breed, and while it will make no difference in the fact that you will eventually change or stop coming around or anything else, I'd just like to say it's a pleasure to meet you and yours, on the many different times I have. I'll always value and remember the times I've known you, not through yourself but through my encounters with your beliefs. Thanks for being the boogeyman.
It's more about outlets than outlooks. Everyone screams with their friends about how shit literally every industry is and how it's being ruined by the vice of men. But if you have to scream about it here, it means you don't have those necessary contacts which is the bad thing.
Xavier Ramirez
You have taken not only a race's future and hope, but more recently a generation of young men's freedom, and enslaved them with vices of drugs and pornography. I typed out some reasoning to you, but I deleted it, because it would make no difference; you're evil.
Isaac Lee
If you actually enjoy something, you'd stick with it even if significant amount of the community surrounding it are bad, and most importantly not give a fuck how much others outside see it to a reasonable extent, but that's a different discussion. Speaking of the shitty community, most true enjoyers just avoid interacting with the shit, simple as.
Mason Barnes
I still see plenty of witepipo in all sectors of the economy and at all professional levels. Maybe you just suck.
Aiden Diaz
You misunderstand. Some things are centrally controlled and those features are what is criticized. Doing anything with electronics is an example given that everything is increasingly proprietary and black boxed. Consumption media is probably the most heavily taxed in this way since intellectual property is the law of the land and we've seen endless and infinite abuses of that, especially when it comes to profitable franchises. There's everything in between. Complaining about the "community" only serves when the "community" encourages these changes and supports them monetarily causing more of these changes to come about, but that front is also entirely artificial, so it's fairly moot, but still worth confronting on a personal level.
You believe yourself to be intelligent by being contrarian, but you are just absent minded out of fear.
Chase Scott
I have seen enough good snuffed out and innocence lost, to know; we live in an epidemic of despair, and in a poverty of the soul. I love my life, but I have seen others who, unlike me who would deserve it, get more pain than deserved to those who do not deserve the pain at all. >I have seen power given to those you speak of I am not talking about the corrupt, I am talking about the good and the moral who are powerless. It is the weak who are unprotected, not the strong. I don't know, I've just been struggling with my addictions lately so I've felt low.
Caleb Young
>And yet it's the only reason I clicked on your thread And it worked :^)
But I think that's a big part of it. The shallow, performative nature of it. To take your image, and use it as as mask, to be trendy and fit in, while simultaneously shunning you for being Other. Simultaneously lauding and mocking you.
As if enough hasn't been taken and denied, they feel the need to plunder identity itself, looking for that one superficial trait they can use to be different from the pack, all without paying the price it took to create it in the first place.
Honestly I think I need to completely unplug from the internet for a while, but then I'll probably just end up drinking again.
I hear that.

tl;dr Try speaking like a normal person and not a charicature of a 19th century aristocrat if you want to be taken seriously. But that implies you can communicate effectively and have defensible ideas.
Jackson Thomas
if you don't have autism, you're free to leave user, you don't fit in anyway
Gabriel Green
How does avoiding the community/fnadom around poopoopeepee capeshit #738543 suddenly make all the previous works you enjoyed disappear? Or hell, what's stopping you from enjoying the current work? Just discuss it with people you enjoy being around, simple as.
John Young
I don't give a fuck about the opinions of vain mental cripples too weak to function in society. Kneel.
Chase Sanders
I've been reading poetry this past month user, and whenever I talk about morality and philosophy I can talk like a fag. My point is, there is an outbreak of rampant evil and we should work unified in effort to counter-influence it.
Brandon Garcia
It is true, I am weak and mentally crippled from excessive substance abuse, but my point still stands of rehabilitation of the youth and embracement of objective morality.
Kayden Hernandez
>evil You mean people that disagree with you? Or people who tell you "no"? Weak faggot, your fuhrer would have T4'd you.
Ayden Brooks
I speak of people who groom children into believing they are homosexuals, and bid them to defy their parents and hate their family. Or the ones who just simply molest them. Or those "political activists" who'd have you turn a blind eye to when one of their flock murders a child or a woman or a senior citizen. You know who I mean.
Or a banker who puts a family homeless, and profits from it.
Or a drug dealer, who destroys the relationships of and steals someone's life from them.
Or a pornographer who exploits young girls, ruining their bodies, and just in turn infects young men with the video poison.
Or a belligerent thug who shoots a storekeeper, and takes a young boy's father away, and creates a widow.
Those are who I speak of, and I wished to God that I could stop them (random violence and murder does not count as stopping them to me.) I'm not super bent out of shape or anything, just upset and lamenting.
Michael Robinson
Nothing new tho, it's followup for the I'm quirky/random shit
Kevin Roberts
Yeah, you're a weirdo alright. Try interacting with people outside IRL and not in Any Forums infographic hell. Or just stay there and quit annoying functional members of society.
