The long-tail of Backrooms & SCP fanfic is whats cringe, like the article describes.
- Jerrrrrrry 2y agoYall should run your own experiments and let the Backrooms' endless datum of frivolous fictitious information stunt a child's most crucial time of intellectual growth, facilitated by an indifferent giga-corp specializing in robbing attention from humans.
- Jerrrrrrry 2y agodownvotes without replies mean you agree and are too cowardly too admit either defeat or to cognitively dissonant to respond
- wruza 2y agoSometimes people use them to sink obvious (to them) nonsense without spending too much time on it. Arguing with downvotes does no good here, also people posted more than enough answers if you ever wanted to reflect on them. I'd summarize it as "relax, we don't think so and don't need this scary adversarial memetic attack idea". You think it's true, others think it's not. Dealing with it is a great part of a forum life. You mentioned that you studied this topic. Afair, it's a common phenomenon for students to start seeing what they study irl. E.g. medical students diagnose themselves with all sorts of exotic diseases in around their third year. Maybe you just need to step back from it a little?
- Jerrrrrrry 2y agoNone of the replies were answers, just deflections. You cannot reflect on a deflection, that is oxymoronic. I have made clear, concise points, and 0 of them were addressed, merely dismissed. I have biases, I even admitted insofar as calling others out on their lack of interest, or incentive for self-denial. Dismissing ideas is not addressing them. There are people reading this text right now who have let this "harmless idea" take up the diminishing attention span of their children, filling it with a literal endless maze of fictional noise. Memes aren't serious? But "Russia" used "them" to elect "Trump"...possibly twice, by the time this gets read. Let's just keep this experiment going then, since I am wrong and everyone else right. Youtube content converging unto an attention stealing, click-farming, bottom-less, intellectually adversarial content, squandering the most crucial development time-frame for our progeny is something I just made up. Or, I am the only person who isn't in denial? But I would be ELATED to be wrong and find out letting kids get raised by youtube psychopaths is actually no worse than Teletubbies. I love being wrong more than I like being right, unfortunately. Please point out where anything I actually claimed wasn't anything less than dismissed.
- squigz 2y agoYou know, a simpler explanation would be that people just think you're wrong and don't want to spend their time arguing with a random Internet user about a damn horror meme.
- Jerrrrrrry 2y agoThat isn't simpler, nor logical. Simpler is that I am right and they are in denial. And if they didn't want to waste their time arguing, they could had at least used the time they did forfeit to make a single point. But go ahead, explain that, and continue to not address nor acknowledge the clear ideas I have articulated that only a single user has hinted at understanding. When you are correct, you don't need to explain yourself further, especially in the absence of any good-faith refutations. go ahead. I can source my claims, yall cant source your insecurities.
- squigz 2y agoNot a single one of your arguments has been clear, and you haven't linked a single source about anything.
- Jerrrrrrry 2y agoList my arguments. and I hadn't done something that I will do, because those are difference tenses. try harder.
