    There seems to be this new trend of accounts being created to post this low quality rage bate and other boomer humour at best in this community. This is either a bot, or a really bored loser, either way, the pattern is very obvious (new account that posts 3 comics in a row here and nothing else), and easy to spot and block.

    I know this will have little impact, but do yourselves a favour - don’t feed the troll.

    This reminds me of people who comment, say on video clips of older movies and television, “you can’t make stuff like this anymore.” Just an unhelpful take on the situation. One that takes no effort to come by. Regurgitation at best.

        Oh man there was an entire south park episode about this…

        Even triggering arguments to build up hype on socials. Can’t find the episode, but it mentioned arguing or disagreeing with someone while aiming for a 3rd person to jump in overreacting and it spreads.

        Edit: found it

        Season 20 finale, 2010, featuring Elon musk…

        It’s a way in which one person can create a massive reaction on the Internet. Look, person A trolls person B, but it’s not about person B, the troll is trying to push buttons to try and get a reaction from hundreds, eventually creating person C, whose overreaction and self righteousness will elicit a reaction from persons D through F, who weren’t trolls but can’t help rip on person C.

    I mean, what was the post? Some things that are posted are offensive whether or not you intended that and it’s not unreasonable for someone to comment on that.

    If it’s happening to someone so often they need to physically move to a different platform, maybe they should pay more attention to what their saying and the audience you say it to.

    Like if I’m with friends and someone makes a dead baby joke, I’d probably laugh, if someone recently had a miscarriage the reaction to that joke will be very different.

    I wouldn’t expect a lot of 4chan jokes to fly in normal society and if you can’t engage with normal society without making 4chan appropriate jokes, maybe you need to work on your conversational skills.

    The thing that gets me every time is actually being funny gets shot in the head instantly in the cross fire.

    Progressives pulling the boy who cried wolf routine on bigotry muddy the waters of the topic, which they don’t care about, because it’s just a means to grab a little social power to them.
