im permabanned poster veganstomper58. i first started reading chapo when i was about 19. by 22 i got really obsessed with the concept of “irony” and tried to channel it constantly, until my thought process got really bizarre and i would repeat things like “vegandeth” and “this vegan eatin beans” in my head for hours, and i would get really paranoid, start seeing things in the corners of my eyes etc, basically prodromal schizophrenia. im now on antipsychotics. i always wondered what the kind of “ironic” style of chapo humor was all about; i think it’s the unconscious leaking in to the conscious, what jungian theory considered to be the cause of schizophrenic and schizotypal syptoms. i would advise all people who “get” chapo to be careful because that likely means you have a predisposition to a mental illness. peace.

    There’s something of significance to be found in the story implied by this comment. You have, on one hand, the archetypal figure known for advocating on cohesion of posting, that posts ought to be located in a central location, a communal location, if you want to think of it that way. On the other hand, we have a figure who is of a diametrically opposed archetype—one that very clearly is of a style reminiscent of an existing alternative. So we see an inner conflict. It makes me suspect that in the original tale that OP was a woman while the commenter remained a man, which was later changed for reasons of political correctness, you know, but these things just don’t work as well when robbed of their traditional insights. It is by venturing into the (female) chaos of promoting the use of alternate subs that the commenter will be able to return to stanning main, however with a newfound appreciation for the use of other subs.
