still old
I should never be allowed to spend more then 5 minutes on a forum because I always end up posting these really long bitching sessions about what is wrong with society *sigh* That’s one of the reason’s I left all my forums last year until I was eventually dragged back to one although I’ve never really taken much interest or spent a great deal of time on it. Until today against my better judgment I was provoked into a conversation about the existence of love. CURSE THE GODS! It doesn’t help much that I’ve just started watching ‘Welcome to the NHK’ its the first anime I’ve seen in a long time that doesn’t pull any punches when it comes to telling society what is wrong with it. There’s none of this sugarcoating to make the viewer feel more at ease and ironically it seems to constantly attack its intended audience.
There was a part where one of the characters says that the way to gain confidence in a conversation or environment where they feel inferior is to imagine the people your talking to as being inferior stupid waste of space that will give them the imagined power/ confidence to talk without hesitation. Hearing this all I could think was omg that’s the way so many people behave on these forums. They go on about how in reality they are ridiculed and no one respects them, yet when they are online where they are detached from reality they act out there dreams of superiority. It annoys the hell out of me yes I use the net as an escape from reality but I go there for fun, purely as a distraction were nothing is real, but these people act like they are some kind of dictator or something constantly telling people what they can do, and trying to create a system that is within there criteria of order. Then you have the pathetic people that don’t even have enough respect for themselves to stand up to these people they just constantly agree with these people giving them even more power.
But that’s not even half of what really infuriates me, it’s the fact that these people make out that there online friends are more important to them then the people who exist in there real everyday lives. They call these online groups their family and neglect their reality more while seeking attention and support from the people that they meet online. They say that they don’t need people that they can survive in solitude, but ironically they spend hour’s online seeking companionship from total strangers. And if you say anything to them you have there minions defending them its like fighting a swarm of bee’s the workers will protect their queen at all cost, but instead of sacrificing their lives in this case they are sacrificing their dignity. It’s like the online version of the well know stereotype ‘The Plastics’. Damn I know this is sounding really harsh but lets face it have I’ve never held my opinion back before so why the hell would I do so now?
It just feels like my escape from reality and the pathetic structure of society has just become an alternative version where by the out casts are taking advantage of the fact that the popular ruling people of reality are too busy to rule the net, therefore allowing the normally down trodden to rule and taste the life of those that victimize them.
