MODERATORS
I know everyone here is talking about how they're all racist turbo reactionaries. That's true but what does it for me is when they'll type out song lyrics to one another, line by line, like they're doing karaoke by mail. Not even obscure songs. There are probably at least five comment threads per day repeating the lyrics of Bohemian Rhapsody. Yes reddit I've seen Wayne's World
That's probably what I hate most about reddit. It's how they valorize very well known things but act like they're part of a special club for enjoying it. They will make posts like "Heh, bet none of you will recognize this ancient, forgotten gem of a game: Sonic Adventure 2!" and then they'll all pile in to mention they also remember Sonic Adventure 2 and someone will do a comment thread doing the Live and Learn song one sentence at a time. And they do this every single day clapping like seals at seaworld
I fucking hate this shit. If you're looking for any good information anywhere on
, you have to wade through ten pages of people making the same joke back and forth but worse every time, or quoting Super Troopers, or song lyrics, or "I also choose this guy's wife" bullshit. It's on every fucking thread, it's always the top comment(s), and it's always the same.
And my axe!
Edit: thanks for the gold, kind stranger!
I also wish for this guys axe
Mama just took an axe, put a "this is the way" against his head, pulled my kind stranger and now he's dead
And it's been like that for the last ten years.
How do they not get tired of going onto reddit and making the same Office and Ron Swanson references for over a decade?
(Meanwhile I'm still quoting Metal Gear games from 20 years ago but those are actually good)
Reddit is Facebook for Millennials
this but at the same time they never follow "this is the way" with "step inside" they just keep saying "this is the way." and if you say "step inside" you get downvoted. Uncultured swine I tell you.
"this is the way" is an instant downvote from me.
I fucking HATE Star wars and what it's done to our culture. Yes, I'm aware the OG star wars was a Vietnam allegory and is cool and good. Still don't care.
The Mandalorian was a good show, but it is a little weird that people valorize the culty and strange part of the show and not the cool or heartwarming parts.
after four decades as a creatively bankrupt corpse being squeezed for profit the Star Wars universe is anathema to me, I hate it all so much I still haven't managed to bring myself to watch Andor which by all accounts is excellent
Part of it is they keep bringing back mark Hammel and Harrison Ford to mug into the camera like some marvel movie. I can't stand nostalgia bait. I'm so tired of the same three franchises shambling back into the theaters like a zombie and everyone seal claps. People can like what they want, but I will silently judge you for living star wars, marvel and all the John wick clones.
I always thought that was a reference to the Ugandan knuckles meme. Started popping up around that time.
