I also dislike people like general douchington. I don't hate them, because they bring me some sort of superior feeling. I dislike people that try to act so fucking cool on the internet and insult other people. People like this are funny but a good 80% of them that I have had the indecency to converse with have been the type of person that will only do this on the internet because they would get put in their place if they did it in person. General Douchington is one of these people.
People like that
aren't funny, at least not because they're constantly acting like an asshole. That's only funny if the person doing it is actually witty and clever enough to say shit that's worth reading.
This other forum I go to has someone who's worse than GD in every imaginable way. Every single day he posts something that makes you think "holy fuck, I can't believe he said that", he's a fucking genius when it comes to insulting people. But at the same time he contributes a lot to the forum, he can shut off the act and have a serious discussion when it's appropriate.
That's the other thing -- he knows it's an act. He readily admits he's nothing like that in real life, he just has fun dicking around and saying things to get a reaction out of people. He also knows it can get annoying, so he really puts a lot of effort into making that act something other people want to read and see.
GD's attempt to mimic that sort of legitimately witty shock humor is so fucking pathetic, I'd call it half-assed if that wasn't giving him too much credit. Seriously, go to his profile and look at his posts, every single thing he says is negative. Press Ctrl+f and type "fag", then go through each page, it'll
never say "No results found". He calls people faggots in every other fucking post.
That's not witty, that's not funny, he's not even fucking trying. As a 21 year old who remembers being 17, my perspective of him is probably a bit different than most members here. To me he's just some fucking high school kid who has absolutely no respect for anyone and no sense of what is and isn't appropriate. He lacks the capacity to care about any of that. He has an endless supply of negativity which he deflects onto people around him as incessant criticism and insults, to the point where it's almost literally all he does here. And because of his age he doesn't realize how hopelessly immature he still is, he's too focused on the flaws of others to notice that he hasn't done a single thing here worthy of praise or respect. His entire persona here, and especially the fact that he's
willingly created and embraced it, just shows what a shitty person he actually is.
or maybe not. I doubt that's far from true, though. I fucking hate people like that.
edit: he's also not the only example around here but, fuck, he's the only one who can't seem to shut it off. even then I'd have no problem with it if he at least tried to be original. I can only see the word "faggot" so many times without getting tired of it.
