I think this quote describes the evolution of imageboard culture pretty well:
>Any community that gets its laughs by pretending to be idiots will eventually be flooded by actual idiots who mistakenly believe that they’re in good company.

- Mountain_Skies 7y agoSadly I found the same to be true during my teens and early twenties when it came to relationships talk. A group of guys or gals would sit around bragging about how in control they are in their relationships, what high standards they have, etc. when in reality things were much more even keeled. The problem was that those in the group with little actual relationship experience would believe all this nonsense and try to pattern their relationships off of it. Everyone else knew the talk was all posturing without seeing how it negatively influenced those with little experience into making poor choices.
