It's a well known fact that the internet makes people stupid. What is less known is that it makes everyone stupid. Tiny opinions and interests grow to form the basis of an online identity, and in a worse case scenario, may actually leak out into meatspace! Why, a few years ago, I could actually pinpoint out issue numbers when talking about Superhero origins and where movies were influenced by the plot of a comic. I was pretty much the Comic Book Guy. It was really funny, and kind of sad.I've already mentioned (a sickening amount of times) that "chan culture" leads not to sexual deviance and sociopathy, but cynicism and vanity. But that's not all there is to it, you know. There are many different types on interests and hobbies covered by imageboards, and each board embodies a different type of person. Those with a weak sense of self may then seek to define themselves with their interests, thus inevitably becoming said person. It sounds stupid, but it's true!But does it apply to you?Do you act the same way here that you do in real life? I really fucking hope not. You're all terrible people.
Unless there's an imageboard dedicated to being more like this guy, you're full of shit, Moe.
I believe so, but like, even more fantastic.
Yeah, but I'm not particularly horrible on the internet.

I'll let others be the judge of that.
I'm less friendly, open, and polite. I also try not to discuss my interests or opinions unless it seems like people are pressuring me.
Yes.
No.
I do.I love you all!
I am just as, if not more annoying.

I'm not much different.Just in real life you can see how ridiculously hot I am.

The difference between my online persona and me is tiny.
i'm a lot less open and a lot more polite, mostly resorting to stock phrases when I need to actually talk to people. i don't really act a certain way here or anything though. just talk about my interests more and drunk-post just because this is a more private, anonymous atmosphere and i don't really care.
I rarely talk much in public. Mostly because I really don't have much to say in most situations.
I think I'm about as sad and friendly online as I am in real life.
I don't joke around as much and less likely to engage in a conversation.
I'm a complete smart ass and jerk in real life. But I always have a smile. I have no name.

>>270746I was quoting "I <3 Huckabees" but sure I suppose. That would never happen, though; not unless I could become an Adrienne Barbeaubot.
>>270749Somebody actually watched that movie?
Absolutely not. The internet is the internet, and the real world is the real world. Two separate things, at least until everyone gets smarter about it.
There were crazily obsessed, pinpointedly focused people LONG before the Internet existed. Stamps, buttons, pins, whatever, there have always been communities of people that grew around specific interests magnified into lifelong passions.
>>270696STOP TAKING ALL THE BOLD. WE ARE RUNNING OUT. ANONEX WILL NOT GO TO THE STORE.
>>270784Sure he will. Just hide all the pasta.Doohohohoho!(in before ban)
Yeah, pretty much the same.
>>270689I've only been to /cgl/ like once in my life, but I was so very, very glad to see this picture there today.To answer the question, I am more sexy and less texty in real life.
