Remember, it’s the queer people who are cringe.

Website won’t let me upload the second screenshot, I will put it in a comment if I can.

    Why do these 4chan diaspora types always talk like this? Ceaselessly prattling on about this supposed great spiritual strife that ( western) men go through? They all use this highly dramatic and flowery prose that I guess its supposed to sound inspirational but they always end up sounding like a villain from a fucking Marvel movie. It's so corny!

    This guy used an awful lot of words just to say "I and everyone else on this trash board are incapable of acting like normal human beings, so I have to retreat to my safe space so I can make fun of trans people on an anonymous forum."

      great spiritual strife that ( western) men go through

      For the majority of anglo men, the greatest hardship they face is not being able to say the n-word and hurt trans people.

        a fictional idea of manning the walls while your tradwife and child enjoy the safety you’ve created

        manning the walls against what I never understood.

        it's like when people say soldiers protect freedom, from what

      I think it really is Marvel-brain. Everything has to be deep and poetic because that's gritty and cool like those Batman moies because if he just came out and said "I'm sad and lonely" then that's him expressing feelings like some kinda homo.

        I thought Marvel-brain was quippy and irreverent, unless the idea is shifting from quippy to Dying Wizard pretentiousness back and forth.

      It's also very common to talk that way in capital-R "Rationalist" circles. It's been called "Dying Wizard" format.

      This is why Ignatius J. Reilly is the perfect embodiment of :reddit-logo: and Chan-types, just the most solipsistic, arrogant, alienated people on this planet, getting completely psychically destroyed over toys and treats changing slightly, violently hating anyone that don't want to play along with their nihilistic delusions of grandeur. Gifted children that thought that meant they wouldn't have to grow at all.

        If Confederacy of Dunces was written decades later, Ignatius J. Reilly would go on and on about szechuan sauce. :pickle-liz:

          absolutely. "Well, you see, it's about ethics in game journalism, not that I would expect you dimwitted cretins to understand that"

            "Between notes, he had contemplated means of destroying Myrna Minkoff. His most promising scheme had involved getting a book on munitions from the library, constructing a bomb, and mailing it in plain paper to Myrna. Then he remembered that his library card had been revoked.”

            Somehow you were completely able to channel Thooorin (Ginger-Esports journalist and self-professed esports historian) with that quote. It's fucking uncanny how much that "dimwitted cretin" sounds like him and his annoyingly right wing twitter.
