Weirdest subcultures?

[Eyepokesftw]

Anyone under the age of 22 or so.. They are all some part of one sub culture or another. I fear for our future.

I was just kidding.

There used to be a couple bronies on SD.
There were avs and a thread and everything.
I think shattered dreams was a brony.

I know a great deal about my little pony, but i have a four year old daughter so its on the tv or the ipad alot at my house.

I'm really not sure why any male over the age of 10 would volunteer to watch that show on their own.

My gf's ex was a furry. He used to keep scratching himself and twitch his nose like he was an animal and get buttfucked up the arse by other guys whilst dressed as a badger.

This thread prompted a bored me to start watching My Little Pony.

Halfway through season 1 and I gotta say, its a damn good show.

Its not like im paying attention to the details and shit, Im more just into the graphics. lol

No matter what I say, I will sound crazy, but its whateves, im not the only one, and Im not even autistic or socially awkward at all..

Juggalos are probably the worst, but since I've never run into them, hipsters piss me off the most.

I know some juggalos.

Not having a dad will do some shit to a kid.

There's this big subculture that began about 10 years ago and has gathered steam to become somewhat dominant, and everyone here should know at least several people that fit in this category


It's this attitude where if someone quasifamous (has a PhD or greater) gives a speech or a statement, people from this type of newish internet subculture will pretend to not only understand but be enthralled by it and it's implications, no matter how boring, vague, or empty his statement/opinion/whim.

Now it goes a step further. They have carefully pre-placed an extremely enormous wavering stack of E-chips on their shoulders. A slight breeze will cause all of them to crash down simultaneously in a magnificent uproar. If anyone with less credentials (or they just imagine that way) offers a differing point of view, or just the chance of one, this group will storm and thunder valiantly against this threatening incursion, with a pseudo fury that alone would crumble the mighty Persian Empire.

*When arguing, in order to avoid giving away the fact that they don't even understand a layman's gist of the subject they are gloriously defending, they will counter thoughts and reasons with "(I can't explain it, so) just read this book(s) by this guy so you can... uh, know what I'm talking about".

The remainder of their thoughtful discussion is comprised entirely of 1. (surprise) appeal to authority 2. tireless ad hominems/appeal to ridicule


The guilty pleasure in all this is the fact that everyone can see they aren't even passingly familiar with the subject, let alone the concept (or lack of) that they (think they) are defending. [They wouldn't dare do this face to face, due to the the certainty that they would be exposed in front of a live audience]


Oh, you internet!

 

[thebluerider]

good thread. self mutilators really creep me out. same with people who have had sex changes. not sure if that qualifies. identifying oneself as a bronie is probably the lamest thing possible.

"Unless you've had a beer in Belgium at the brewery, you wouldn't even understand..."

"Unless you've had a beer in Belgium at the brewery, you wouldn't even understand..."

^^^Haha, defies all description huh. Not a single poet in time could even hint at a facet of the grandeur.

Guess it wouldn't be worth attempting to discuss in any form on a discussion board about the very subject, then. Alright, I'll give up and leave it alone...

Are you referring to the TED video that led to the anti-fwapping thread?

 

[therealdope]

I still can't past the thought that furries actually exist.

 

[Reyesnuthugr]

Larpers really are the creepiest. And what a bunch of A-holes, really! Have you ever tried to talk casually to one or more of them, as if they are regular people?

They give you this hateful, uncomfortable stink eye, like they want to kill you, because (I guess) you're making them self conscious of how much they suck because you're treating them "normally" and invading their "territory" (at college, even). It's the same general vibe and feeling that emanates from a lowly, self-loathing hick town that just knows "you're not from here"

Anyways, f those idiots. If they can't at least maintain basic respectful dignity for others, they're even worse than the worst stereotypes about them

 

[Reyesnuthugr]

haha, no actually. I don't think I'm current on that one, other than knowing that thread exists.


Usually it's some science-yish guy with grey hair who no one even knows who he is, and he says something like "(in my pointless, non-specific opinion of self-created buzzwords: ) the omniverse could someday be siphoned and collected as a tribute to our past selves"

It's like the worst parts of fantasy lore, new age, and senile put together in an incoherent jumble. Once someone (say, a college physics student) hints or points this out, all the wish-I-were-nerds try to dogpile onto/shame him with 390 combined decades of projected developmental insecurities

soooo what about self-mutilating trannys?

 

[therealdope]

haha, no actually. I don't think I'm current on that one, other than knowing that thread exists.

The TED video talked about the perils of endless variety in porn and the undesired effects on men (porn addiction). It was well supported by data and studies. The advice was to bang real women rather than fwap endlessly to porn. Next thing you know there is an anti-fwap club.

Ok - you are talking about AmericaOverAll; who never took a physics class in his life but used to lecture me on physics routinely. I'll admit, my academic years are behind me a bit but actually did graduate work in radiation physics and I'm still a reviewer for a scientific journal. But what the fuck would I know since AmericaOverAll and his marijuana addicted ass (or so he said) had read a book or two about physics and in his opinion everything that had any significance was done in the US.
