The internet and stupid people.

[smearyllama]

If you're reading this, you've probably used the internet more than once, and with that, you've probably seen several acts of internet stupidity. For me it's probably all the youtube hate spam.
"The Metal Militia" and crap like that.

What's the greatest act of internet stupidity you've seen? Tell us, wee feel your pain.

Edit: I just realized how terrible I am for making this thread. I'm so sorry.

Any given Youtube video's comments section.

 

[Internet Kraken]

People on the Escapist acting incredible smug, thinking they are better than the "scum" of the internet, then falling prey to the most painfully obvious trolling attempts.

Did I just /thread? I feel like I may have /thread.

You know what? I stand by my decision.

4chan's trolling of Habbo Hotel.

Really, 4chan?

Hmmm...

Most of the Emo tripe on YouTube.

But the Escapist is the greatest bastion of intelligence that there ever was!

Awww crap. You're right. I'll change the thread to something else.

Facebook.

Any given Youtube video's comments section.

Heh, yea, this.

Oh, and Facebook.
And pretty much every forum on the internet.

 

[DefunctTheory]

Besides this thread, probably youtube comments.

Or OKCupid.com, the failure dictionary.

I really, REALLY hate people who say that, let alone three times. I would add more stuff but I'd probably be probated.

OT: YouTube, man.

/b/ has one of the most creative and intelligent user bases on the internet. They're just... misguided.

Nah, you didn't. Nor may one claim it for oneself, the /thread must be given by another.

Anyway /b/ has created some of the best bits of the internet too.

I would have to agree with this guy though. He may have this /thread I confiscated.

Youtube comments: a more homophobic, opinionated, annoying, sexist and racist lot you will never find.

I'm gonna go ahead and assume that you're like most people who parrot stuff like this about /b/, i.e. have never posted, never visited for longer than a couple of minutes and don't understand the culture. It's not that stupid. It's just pretending to be.

Spent plenty of time there, it's full of trolls. Playing stupid when you are smart doesn't make you smart. Garnering from thread responses around here I am starting to wonder if there's a difference though...

/thread <=== One more for you there Magenta Corded Telephone

Wow, you sure are being obnoxious. Not sure where you're going with that somewhat trollish line comparing The Escapist to /b/, but have fun wherever it is.

And there's a bunch of idiots mixed in there too.

Also, people don't miss the like button, and saying "looks like x people missed the like button" is not funny.

The WoW general forums..

WoW class forums are even worse, as ever class just whines about how they need a buff, or how every other class needs a nerf.
