Abe Simpson said “I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary. It’ll happen to you!” but today’s “it” is vapid, misinformational, and malicious.

    I see the same severity that I always have - the issue is Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Vine, Tiktok, etc are all just finally sinking into the swamp that is the internet. It’s all been under the surface, you just never participated in the real internet, and it’s starting to invade your spaces now is all.

      They’re already on the internet. Well, except for Vine since that site has been toast for a while now.

      you just never participated in the real internet

      What does that even mean?

        You’re on the tippy top of the internet iceberg. All of the corporate-facing shit. All of the stuff that’s been filtered, nicewashed, and just overall made sane enough for you to take in without losing your sanity.

        You haven’t seen the forums with people popping a 12ga into their forehead live, and all the other dregs of the internet that don’t reach the surface internet.

          You talk so edgy and then post a basic 4chan-ass iceberg with a youtube video more than halfway down. I’m so glad I don’t feel the need to posture like this anymore, it comes across very 7th-grader discovering gore on the internet. OoOoOo sPoOkY!!1!

            It was a quick example for someone who didn’t understand the concept you dipshit. I’m sorry that I was at work and didn’t have time to COMPILE a fucking compendium for your dork ass. Nobody is being “edgy” here. Holy shit you wannabes are so white-washed.
