The internet and stupid people.

[TheYellowCellPhone]

Snip

I would reply how you're being annoying, an obvious troll, and obnoxious, but really that'd be feeding the troll.

Oops.

 

[Axolotl]

Those people who posses opinions that differ from my own.

I mean how stupid can you get?

 

[the Dept of Science]

3 Facebook notifications/adverts that have totally baffled me:

1. [kid from the year below me who I hardly knew] answered a question about your personal life.

2. Are you good in SEX? Find out now! (not a comment, a notification from this girl I may have met once)

3. You are in a video with 50 Cent. Watch it now!

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.

I agree with this and also obviously Youtube comments, both for quite different reasons which give a nice contrast to this aspect of things.

 

[Trogdor1138]

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

You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy...

Even though I generally like the community, this is true.

On topic, The Spearhead. 4chan's /b/, Youtube comments, and things like those are just casual stupidity, if not intelligent people intentionally acting dumb (I know a few /b/-tards myself, and they're hardly idiots). The crap that comes out of some of their contributors and comments, on the other hand, is totally serious (I won't elaborate, so see and judge for yourself).

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

I lol'd.
4Chan. I am an oldfag there, I have been going to 4Chan for years. I quit recently. I loved it as well, so people who were thinking to say "You only say 4Chan because of internet rumors" You are quite mistaken. I say 4Chan because people are stupid enough to put CP on it. As well, with all of the little kids on it nowadays, all I ever see is "YOU LAFF YOU LOSE LOL/EPIC COMBO ROFL/THEGAMETHEGAMELOL!"

Any form of online game which requires "teamwork" and "coordination" to progress to a certain area. Most people never did understand that not everything can be accomplished alone. Red Dead Redemption is a class example as some (but not all) people will glady screw you over and race on ahead in a co-op game as they "don't need no noob" bullshit.

Either someone asking "How do you get backwards b?" or an american defending his country because they discovered planet moon".....

 

[VincentX3]

Youtube is probably the first that comes to mind.

 

[Mikeyfell]

funnily enough it was a conversation I had with Postzit on this very site not more than a couple minutes ago.

it was mostly my fault for saying that MW2 and all games like it are killing gaming by shutting out creativity.
but he tried to defend his beloved copy paste FPS games by saying that "cloning games is the best way to make progress" and that "original IP's are bad for gaming, because they aren't guaranteed to sell like FPS games."

he wins the Internet stupid award from me,
another Internet idiot who's just as stupid as him, but too smug to admit it

Encyclopedia Drammatica. It makes me want to hang myself.

 

[Hosker]

MSN news comments are full of very horrible people for some reason, way worse than youtube.

 

[Vhite]

They are all over the internet, they could be in this very room, it could be you, it could be me, it could even be... *headshot*

 

[child of lileth]

I once got banned from a forum for saying, "Demons's Souls isn't a perfect game.", with no previous mod wrath. Turns out a particular mod is a fanboy. To this day, probably the stupidest thing I've ever seen or experienced on the internet.

 

[Daft Sikes]

Encyclopedia Drammatica. It makes me want to hang myself.

I enjoy it. Despite how the "You" page of ED says I'm a complete loser and will be alone my entire life.

They are all over the internet, they could be in this very room, it could be you, it could be me, it could even be... *headshot*

I see what you did there...
OT: Jessi Slaughter and eddward4eva. When I thought the internet couldn't get any more stupid, these people just had to show up and do just that.

 

[mjc0961]

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

Agreed. The worst part is that so many other stupid people give those comments a like, so you go in to watch the video and should you make the mistake of scrolling down to the comments, the first thing you see is "15 people missed the like button" with 57 thumbs up next to it. AUGH!

 

[skitzo van]

People who have no reason to post in a thread other than to be dicks to a few other posters. I've seen it happen mostly on the escapist, I'm not going to name names but I can barely read their ego-inflating writings, which masquerade as "posts".

 

[Sir Prize]

Someone might have said this already, but go onto DA and you will find a goldmine of idiots...
