I'll give mine to get the ball rolling.

There was a user that, before getting banned, declared that every single living human being alive on Earth right now should not exist because no one had the benefit of a pre-conception device on hand to somehow determine each individual's consent to exist before they started to exist.

I don't know if that take would make David Benatar blush, make David Benatar cackle with glee, or if that was posted by David Benatar himself.

    There was a person who was convinced that nobody actually enjoys music or art. They said everyone is just performatively pretending to enjoy these things for some reason. Or maybe everyone is just imagining their emotional responses to music/art, like some sort of mass delusion. I don’t remember all the particulars; this was a while ago.

    I still kinda wonder if that person was just a really good troll

      what i have learned more than anything in my work is that it is pretty incredible how sociopaths tattle on themselves constantly

      Good find.

      I don't like coffee, like, at all, but that doesn't mean that other people can't derive enjoyment from coffee and that their claims of enjoyment are all lies. I'd be pretty solipsistic to believe otherwise.
