lawl. Thanks wuma, and good work mods.
Because our resident special ed student is in fact doing us a favor.
Also, it's pretty funny to see these guys complain about wuma being "selfish" and "making people frustrated" when that is what they do for a living.
As much as I'd like to hear this, I'd be $50 that this is them trying to ruse all of us.
Maybe not, though.
Where the fuck do they get so many proxies anyway? Do they pay for being able to shitpost?

>!WuMA, who's a fucking minor.
Apparently he's in his early twenties, according to a random /b/read poster.
Anyway, the reasons supplied (see pastebin) are bullshit. In reality these circlejerks happen because their parents never got them out of the house to play with the neighbourhood kids when they were growing up. Or they just never socialized properly. Instead they have "internet friends", who aren't really friends at all; and because of the transient and emotionally unsatisfying nature of internet friendships, they need to keep recruiting ever more "friends" to try and staunch the gushing wound in their soul caused by loneliness.
So parents, make your kids go outside and play with other kids, otherwise they'll be circlejerking on /b/ until they're 30.

Popular or not, circlejerkers seem to have taken "internet socializing" to the extreme, to the detriment of real life socializing.
I think that's why we've seen a real rise in this kind of behavior in the last few years. People age 25+ weren't weaned on "internet friends" since there wasn't steam, facebook, forums like 4chan, etc. when they were growing up. So they actually went outside once in a while.

The sheer amount of dependency people's social lives have on the Internet these days kind of worries me.

>to the detriment of real life socializing.
>assumptions
Either way it's not just socializing on the internet that has consumed many peoples social lives, you think anons here that complain about "circlejerks" live fulfilling lives? It's a problem with the internet, not a problem with socializing.

They started out there I suppose, fucked if I know. A good chunk of them did move to a more appropriate site. I guess it's the same as asking people why they still browse /b/.
After considering why this phenomenon exists, and watching a few episodes and feeling nothing except embarrassment at being a 27 year old man watching "My Little Pony", I have come to, what seems to me, to be a logical analysis:
ReplyDeleteThe show is meant for young girls, meaning it is filled with naught but happiness, joy, femininity, and cuteness. A place where no bad things happen. I think this mentality applies to some Animes as well (the girly ones). I think a lot of older male fans specifically are depressed or otherwise sad about their lives, so they watch these kinds of shows to feel better; to take a sort of sanctuary in this fantasy world of fluff and light.
Normally one would enjoy a show such as MLP in quiet shame and privacy, but after a following appeared on 4chan as a result of mass anonymity, others began to cling to this fandom, as most of the 4chan user base share these common traits of femininity, depression (and in 4chan's case at least, perversion, as cuteness is often construed as attractive by pedophiles, of which there are admittedly many of on 4chan), and maybe a sense of nostalgia, for a time when everything we watched was as harmless and comforting as MLP.
So now you have this following. Everyone loves a sense of belonging, community. So this is why the following grew even more. You have a large number of people who will not make fun of you for being a fan, but the opposite - welcome you with open arms and rather than question your fandom, will validate it. For MLP fans, it doesn't matter what everyone else thinks because they have their own group and don't need anyone else. In addition, they learn how to respond to criticisms and defend their fandom, though how much of this is just reflecting off of what they read and how much of it they honestly believe is arguable.
You can certainly disagree, as I'm sure many MLP fans will. We will defend tirelessly the things that give us comfort, and for that I cannot blame them.
