Caltrops - Laurence Fishburne's Dance Dance Revolution





	[quote name="Bananadine"][quote name="NDD"]Ha ha, what a terrible and incurious thing you're saying! [/quote] Do you mean how I didn't ask about Jsoh too? If so, see below. If not... would it be incurious of me to ask? [quote name="NDD"]Some faggot posts a link denigrating a cause that is obviously important to someone else (me0. As it is a clear request for me to show up and be trolled, I do so. Somehow this is your business and you are owed an explanation. Failing to spell out the exact mechanics and meaning of everything that I say as soon as I am told to do so = refusal to cooperate or explain. [/quote] You weren't told to. My "refuses" line was an unfair exaggeration, yeah. [quote name="NDD"]Here is your explanation, since its absence seems to distress you so and above all I wish to be cooperative: I was impersonating the creepy, toxic, sexualized mindset that led the OP to post his idiot link in the first place. Of course a little of the effect is lost because I'm not actually an awful person and I don't hate men as much as OP hates women. [/quote] If I'm representative of your audience, then nearly all the effect was lost. That's partly why I asked whether you thought it was foolish to fail to understand. Who understands? Jsoh? Some other big-name posters? Who do you write for? Maybe I can IM them or something, and get some help. Did that sound sarcastic or insulting? I suspect it did. I'm trying to roleplay as a cheerful robot here, more or less. I gather it's not working. In fact I fear it's working worse on you than your frilly underwear thing did on me. Do I sound like I secretly want to be Fussbett? I don't know how to do better. I can't bear to put myself out there the way you've done; maybe Caltrops Voice with Minimal Explicit Mockery is the best I can achieve. [quote name="NDD"]It's important to note that Zseni is the alien here, not the rank faggot who posted the odious link in the first place.[/quote] Yes! It is! You're saying things that make sense to me. It's a relief. [quote name="NDD"] This theme is so obtrusively common in my life that I didn't even realize anything was wrong with it until a few months ago.[/quote] I don't know how that could be possible! So it's interesting and, yes, alien to me. It's natural to want to ask questions about such a thing. [quote name="NDD"] But nobody ever asks "hey why is there always a guy trying to set Zseni off with horrible reminders of how much women are universally mocked and loathed?" Is it so self-evident as to negate questioning?[/quote] Questions, hooray! To me it's that evident, which is why I didn't ask about it, yeah! Is that strange? Different people understand different things. I'm not a Dallas slut-shamer myself, but I can sort of imagine how it would feel to be one. I mean, I sure don't understand <i>everything</i> about the people who contributed to that blog post. There are always any number of things that could be questioned. But taking shots at folks like those Dallas women who are so obviously being stupid and wrong and bad, with their fatness and their saying "slut" like it could ever possibly be a GOOD thing, that you fail to even recognize them as people anymore--being what people like you might call "thoughtless" or "incurious"--yeah I know how that feels! I've been capable of that kind of stupidity. Didn't you, ever in your life, do anything that had that flavor? Maybe you didn't. I think you've said you don't understand cruelty, or can't tolerate it, or something like that. Maybe you've never been cruel in that way?? That'd be hard for me to understand. This cruelty feels like the product of a natural, ordinary tendency, to me. That's why I don't bother asking about it. Oh but you're talking about Caltrops posters picking at you. Well yeah that seems natural enough to me too. You troll <i>me</i>, and I'm enough like <i>them</i> that they don't smell alien to me. So maybe you troll them too. That could be where some of it starts. Or maybe sometimes they see a big, loud, well-known person who's ready to publicly react and so they go for the reaction, just for fun, in the basic troll style. (N.B.: I haven't seriously tried to explain, in this paragraph or in this thread, how you "troll me", because making myself more than shallowly emotionally vulnerable to Caltrops seems like a bad idea, especially when I'm in the middle of a conversation with somebody who just called me a fuckface. I don't trust you people!) Of course it's not only <i>your</i> fault that jerks fight with you here. Being the one versus the many doesn't mean you get all the blame--well, not by reasonable people's standards, anyway. But you do seem to be that particular problem's finest speaking organ. I mean, Jsoh doesn't even seem very interested, does he? With you there's a chance of sincerity. That's another reason to ask you and not him. [quote name="NDD"]Why aren't you demanding explanations from the dickhead who trashes my forum with his trolly links? Why am I the science experiment here, fuckface?[/quote] I guess I've covered that as much as I'm willing to do in this post. Thanks for asking![/quote]
