It’s clearly shitpost-oriented. Not a genuine “back in my day.” You can’t handle a little bit of self-deprecation so you had to be condescending instead. That’s not embracing whimsy.
And the irony is not lost on me that although you came here preaching about whimsy, you completely failed to recognize the whimsy inherent in posting a fucking spongebob meme as an act of self-deprecating humor. That’s not “complaining about having no friends,” that’s just whimsy; the exact thing you came here preaching about.
But since you clearly felt so strongly about it that you felt the need to stalk my profile to prove a point (i.e., by condescending), I can only infer that you have a habit of making yourself feel better about yourself by putting other people down. Is that whimsy?
And if your interpretation of that other thread was me “complaining about not being allowed to approach women” then you’re completely misreading it based on pre-conceived notions that you walked into it with. I was clearly saying “Yeah, women have expressed that they don’t want to be approached, so the right thing to do is to not approach.” And making self-deprecating jokes in a thread with other guys in the same boat is called “emotional support,” which is exactly what people say men need to start doing for each other. So if you really want to shame people about that, then you’re part of the fucking problem.
Enjoy your LAN party, where I’m sure you’ll spend a significant portion of your time talking down about people who aren’t there to defend themselves, because that’s how you manage to feel good about yourself in a world where suffering is the norm and empathy the exception rather than the rule.
