CANUCK'S PROFILE

It's just funny when an anti-technology rant romanticizes Pokemon trading cards.

Remember the good old days when people played Pokemon cards? Yu-Gi-Oh? Fuck everyone is young here.

Also, it's based off a video game.

How about remember the good old days when kids played make believe in the forest out back with all the neighborhood kids, not took a break from Pokemon Red to play Pokemon cards.

I'm sorry for calling you silly.

I won't be getting one anymore because it's region locked, and I like to play English and Japanese games. It will be hard to resist Pilotwings Resort.

I'm reading/thinking about Ryukyu languages and going to a place called Yonaguni.

I'm also thinking that my feet are cold.

Hi guys, it's Canuck.

I'm going to post something very long.

I don't come here often, and I have a makerscore of 0. It's because I haven't used rpg maker in about 6 years. I just follow Holbert for some reason, and then stayed here.

Why did I stay here you ask?

Good question. Thanks for asking it.

I stayed because of all the Internet forums I've wasted time at, this is one of the more civil ones. Compared to other places alienated youth go on the Internet, this place is great. Compared to reality, it's not, but it's in the same boat as the rest of the Internet there.

So why is there a problem? I know. I'll pretend like you are all subjective fools and I have an objective opinion that everyone should listen to, take notes and then start preaching Canuckism. Does that sound silly? It should. I'm glad it did.

...

Let's start with the high school mentality. People are constantly trying to prove themselves. How does one become cool in high school? Why, stepping on the backs of others on a race to the top. How can one step on the backs of others? Knowledge, wit, etc. The goal of the game is to show everyone how smart and funny you are, and to use it to put others down so everyone goes, "hey, that kid was smart and called this kid dumb, that kid's alright!"

Then in high school, you have groups that form. People inside the groups can say something, and it's okay and funny and sexy. But if someone outside the group or new says it, it's dumb and awkward and where the fuck to they get off. Extreme Internet cases can lead too having a person or two who have already gained acceptance start pushing the boundaries and people do nothing because it's all good. They start to act like total dicks and people think it's their schtick.

This forum has never gotten there, but if it did, the "cool" guy who can get away with everything is them emulated and everyone wants to be like him. It becomes cool to be able to be a total dick and still well liked and accepted.

Anyways, that's on an extreme tangent. It's okay though. Of course writing all this bullshit is equivalent to me masturbating in front of a crowd.

There's also the problem of alienation. Alienation is a bad thing. Real-life friendships and acquaintances as a concept are much better than Internet ones. Self-expression has much more intimate avenues in real-life. It has to struggle through cracks on the Internet (which it can do). The alienated are sometimes those people who either sucked at that high school game, or refused to play it. The majority I'm assuming sucked at it, but tell people they refused to play it. (Canuck's note: Talking about the majority equates to talking about myself, without admitting I'm a loser. I can't lose face. I CAN'T.)

So these alienated people have a shitty time at high school and on the Internet can easily find people with similar interests and experiences and form a bond much easier. The Internet could then stunt their social "real-life" growth and an Internet culture could take over. This is where the Internet's culture is just the way it is, it's not real life, accept it. And so on. And so forth. Fragment.

So now you've accepted that my essay is the one essay that makes everything better. Thanks. I don't give a fuck about you though because I'm this cool and you're a nameless Internet follower of mine. You forgot about the solution though. That's why you're the follower and I'm the high priest.

The solution is nice people like Feld making nice topics like this one and not being a dick in other topics. I have many times slipped into Internet culture a little bit and posted things on here that were a little dickish by my terms. I once or twice even did it to Mr. Feld himself. In those situations, he never joined in and he never threw any mud back.

The solution is not agreeing that everyone except you really has been acting like a dick, and if you may perchance join in, it's not your fault, blah blah blah.

My last class of third grade high school students (American grade 12) were very noisy. Impossible to control. Get them by themselves and what did each one say without fail? "Our class is so noisy. I really want to study, but I can't because of the class." Who is this class? Are you not a part of it? To namedrop a great band's song title off their album in which people thought they sold out, "Bad scene, everyone's fault."


FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO DID NOT READ THE MAGIC ABOVE

I basically said you're all dicks and it's not my fault and if you don't change fuck you.

FIN


ps: If you want to call me HP as an abbreviation, I will be alright with that.

edit: I'm sorry for all this.
