I think a big reason why it was so easy to write off crazy shit as satire/trolling was because of how powerless these people were (or at least seemed to be). The internet and "real life" were still very distinct until... like, five or six years ago. So in that context, it was just an unwritten rule that 4chan shitposters, Redditors and the like were losers who couldn't affect anything. When the stakes are that low, it's easy to be like - "They must be trolling. And if they're not, well, they're just the peanut gallery." Then the second half of the 2010s happened. >_> --- The music was thud-like. The music was... thud-like. <cite>TheCodeisBosco posted [p:948065345] in Did you ta...
