Hey, I wanna talk about the internet a little, so buckle up.

I think I would enjoy the internet a bit more on a whole if folks didn’t treat Tumblr, Twitter, Reddit, 4chan, online personas, interactions with total strangers, and fiction as more personal and real than the real world itself. I’m really tired of seeing losers sending angry messages and death threats to people over anon because of “spoiler culture,” I’m tired of folks being outraged and crushed by something a god damn stranger you’ll never meet said about you or about some fiction, it’s exhausting to see folks take everything so seriously online and I’m about done with it. It’s disgusting to me that people get into such heated arguments over likes and dislikes in fiction, or hell, this weird ass phenomenon of fools acting superior to others because they value corporate-made-entertainment like Star Wars, the Harry Potter movies, or the Avengers movies more than their actual life. Even in the fandoms I’m in, man, it sickens me to see folks calling each other shitty names because someone likes one faction or another in Warhammer. Chill. That’s all I ask of everyone; just chill a little. You don’t gotta take everything so seriously, ya feel me? Shit ain’t real.  I’m getting to this point in my old age of 26 where I’m starting to be ashamed again for liking nerdy things. Not because of the material, not because I feel bad for enjoying something like rolling dice or reading comics; nah, that shit’s fine. I love doing that, and reading/watching the material! I’m starting to be ashamed of you weird ass goobers screaming at each other, and just downright shattering over the fact that someone dislikes your favorite character, or says your ship is bad, or whatever. There’s this buckwild thing that keeps happening on the internet for me, where someone in my feed radar acts like a god damn child over some goofy-ass stuff, and... man I always think they’re 16 or so because of their behavior, but they always turn out to be in their early to mid 30s. I can shrug off a kid acting like a demon over fiction, but god damn, folks. Grow a backbone. A criticism against something you like ain’t a criticism of you; I love a TON of bad shit that no one enjoys. No skin off my bones if someone shit-talks Warhammer, or the Burning Wheel RPG, like homie, why would I be mad at that? And this one’s gonna come out of left field, but while I’m saying shit; you don’t get a pass to be a terrible nightmare asshole because you were abused. You need to check yourself, hold yourself accountable for your own actions, and face your mental issues like the god damn human being you are. Listen, I’ve struggled with that my whole life; I got my damn dick skin peeled off in a nasty rape, I’ve had personality issues, dysphoria, depression, and you know what? I hold myself accountable and responsible when my god damn mental illnesses affect other people. It is not other folks job to keep you grounded; friends absolutely do not have to be of use to you to be friends, and if you believe that- if you think that a friend is someone who you can use as a crutch for your mental illness without giving anything back to them no questions asked? You’re a shit friend, and it’s not their fault. It is yours. So, check yourself, do everything you can to rage against your own brain, and never stop fighting. Get professional help, get drugs, do whatever you can to battle your mind back into some semblance of normalcy- or, I guess drown in it, but do NOT expect others to take care of you, and do NOT judge others for not being there for you when you’re not even attempting to be there for yourself. That’s not the job of a friend, that’s the job of a therapist.  Also, god damn, I will be all day at this but True Gamer culture is vile and sickening, and this isn’t something I have to see often but... man, you’re not better than anyone because you press keys on your computer and move a dude on a screen. That’s not a shot at Esports or whatever, that’s a shot at people who look down on others because they think playing a game on hard mode is an actual achievement to be proud of. Which, you know what? Maybe it can be, but it sure as hell doesn’t give you the right to make fun of your mom because she plays Candy Crush, you sick little dweeb.  Hey, come sit with me here for a second. Pull up a chair, I’d like to tell you something. Now, I know I’m sitting here telling people not to be angry at each other over multimedia, and to not take strangers seriously; and I do mean that. That sounds a bit like what I’m doing, right? Eh, maybe. Could be, but at least I’m not running an actress off of Twitter with hate mail because your cheese-ball sci-fi movie didn’t live up to expectations. That’s the difference to me, at the very least; me being sickened by the state of pissbabies online, rather than me going online and telling someone to kill themselves because they let everyone know Tony Stark dies in Endgame. Hey, you know you may not see that as a different thing, but I do. I can say for sure I ain’t losing any sleep over it, though, honey. Not really looking for a discussion here either, I just wanted to get out some thoughts that have brewing in the dome all day about how weirdly religiously fanatic a lot of nasty internet behavior is, and just how deeply offputting it all is to me. Not looking for your hot takes, nor am I looking to piss anyone off, just blasting some steam out from the dome, you feel?
