    Why do these 4chan diaspora types always talk like this? Ceaselessly prattling on about this supposed great spiritual strife that ( western) men go through? They all use this highly dramatic and flowery prose that I guess its supposed to sound inspirational but they always end up sounding like a villain from a fucking Marvel movie. It’s so corny!

    This guy used an awful lot of words just to say “I and everyone else on this trash board are incapable of acting like normal human beings, so I have to retreat to my safe space so I can make fun of trans people on an anonymous forum.”

      This is why Ignatius J. Reilly is the perfect embodiment of :reddit-logo: and Chan-types, just the most solipsistic, arrogant, alienated people on this planet, getting completely psychically destroyed over toys and treats changing slightly, violently hating anyone that don’t want to play along with their nihilistic delusions of grandeur. Gifted children that thought that meant they wouldn’t have to grow at all.

        If Confederacy of Dunces was written decades later, Ignatius J. Reilly would go on and on about szechuan sauce. :pickle-liz:

          absolutely. “Well, you see, it’s about ethics in game journalism, not that I would expect you dimwitted cretins to understand that”

            "Between notes, he had contemplated means of destroying Myrna Minkoff. His most promising scheme had involved getting a book on munitions from the library, constructing a bomb, and mailing it in plain paper to Myrna. Then he remembered that his library card had been revoked.”

      It’s also very common to talk that way in capital-R “Rationalist” circles. It’s been called “Dying Wizard” format.
