I'll start with one that doesn't seem directly related but correlates so closely that I can't help seeing the "tell" as a warning: putting "kappa" in a sentence like a punctuation mark. I've never seen an online conversation that started with that tell and didn't wander into final solutions and 14 words if it went on long enough. I know it's a :freeze-gamer: thing but it's not like there isn't already a wide overlap between :freeze-gamer: and :frothingfash: .

    oh I remember that. psychotically deciding to just focus targetted spite and hatred to some teenager's tumblr blog even if the whole otherkin thing was weird and a bit new agey it was ultimately harmless and just hyperfocusing hatred on it was deeply uncalled for

      I was a bit of an edgy liberal back in the day but I take some comfort in knowing that even back then I felt deeply uncomfortable with the "hey look this is an easy target let's bully them" fad.

      When I send material to The_Dunk_Tank it's almost always about some rich fuck that could use some discomfort in their life, like :my-hero: or Chris Roberts.

        I was kind of into it back then but my family didn't get a computer for some years later so I was basically into the version of it I would hear about in school

          That's understandable and I'm glad you eventually cleared out those :brainworms:
