  • "Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory" was both a lie (typically invoked to defend/justify bigotry, bullying, and such) and it also served to normalize people being assholes on the internet. "Perfectly well adjusted wholesome ordinary people chant nazi slogans when they log onto the internet, for real guys! It says nothing about their character as people because for some magical reason the internet totally has no connections to lived human experiences!"

    I'm glad that the so-called rule fell out of use and the excuse rings very hollow for most people now. Also, I noticed that many "ironic asshole" comedians and entertainers from the "le epic trolling" era wound up being actual assholes that hurt people outside of the act. "Million Dollar Extreme" and Justin Roiland come to mind.

  • My main beef with Liefield is that his tryhard edgy "what if everyone grimacing with goofy guns and goofy knives" thing started to effectively dominate the comic book zeitgeist for years. Was exhausting.

  • One time on the old run of Beavis and Butt-Head, Beavis complained that diarrhea medicine didn't work. He took a whole bottle of it, he said, and then he complained that he never got diarrhea.

  • Time to make it even warmer than that with even more carbon dumping because the treat printers may someday rearrange all the data fed into them and come up with a magic solution to global warming that isn't "stop dumping even more carbon into the air year after year, assholes."
