How have the farms changed you?

[Autisimodo]

Exposed me to a lot of different opinions and ideas that I either never considered or thought much of, because of this I feel more confident to express my opinions instead of keeping them to myself.

Yesterday I met up with a friend, and she mentioned to me how much she disliked her brother-in-law. She said "He goes on about how left wing he is but he has these weird ideas about a woman's place being in the home and a lot of his female friends have stopped speaking to him because they find him creepy and touchy feely."

I asked "Does he own a Nintendo Switch"?
"Yes, actually."
"Does he have a thin, wispy beard?"
"Yes."
"Does he drink soy milk?"
"Actually, yes he does."
"Does his Facebook profile pic look like this?" [tilt head to the side, open mouth]
"HOW THE FUCK DO YOU KNOW ALL THIS??"

I showed the farms to an acquaintance of mine and he recoiled in disgust. Neat!

The Farms helped cure me of my TDS. Back at around 2016, I was a huge anti-Trump sperg, but now with the help of you fine shitposters, I've learned to laugh and enjoy the roller coaster ride while it lasts. Overall, I feel like my political views become more rounded since I've started visiting here. I think me being a huge anti-SJW proved to be the vector towards wanting to broaden my horizons, or at the very least it kept me coming back long enough to notice the thread.

It made me realize that 4chan/8chan (now 8kun) and this site make me wonder how long will it be until almost all of these sites are banished forever due to “reasons” that no one will question.

 

[LawTwitter is Dumb]

It made me realize more then I already did that mainstream social media is utter cancer, and to more just sit back and laugh at all the speds and sperging going on daily.

 

[Misaki Nakahara]

It gave me buff muscles and made my jawline better and also it made me extremely rich and charming and sophisticated

 

[Synthetic Smug]

It gives me hope. Not the naive hope of young Christians and high school art teachers. Rather hope born of the hard-eyed orneriness of spergs who saw the elephant and found it entertaining.

Good news aggregator, too.

 

[Witthel]

It made me realize that no matter how shit my life may be, at least I'm not like the people that end up in threads here.

 

[Bad Gateway]

It reminded me that it's actually fine to laugh at every single thing that is or that happens in the entire possibility of space and time. I guess I had forgotten that.

 

[Daddy's Little Kitten]

It made me lose 100 pounds!

 

[CivilianOfTheFandomWars]

I have shed my physical form and become an enlightened being of pure autism.

 

[Alpacawitz]

It's made my Youtube recommendations a weird mix of autism, information, and solid tunes.

 

[The Sauce Boss]

Unrelated to my previous postings, this site has actually gotten me to examine myself and my beliefs more closely, and has given me the tools to engage in thoughtful and productive debate... at least here.

 

[Thumb Butler]

I no longer want to visit New Zealand and Australia, like ever. It's too late to visit Australia now anyway.

 

[Daffodildo]

I spent most of my teenage years on tumblr going along with the SJW shit because I saw how people were treated when they dared to disagree. This site has helped me feel comfortable with sharing my actual opinions. I’ve also grown a thicker skin and don’t let myself get upset when someone calls me out.

 

[Shitassdeaddude]

Seeing not only how bad lolcows can really get, but how fucking many of them there really are out there really puts my own self-image issues into perspective. I find myself a lot more relaxed these days when I used to get self-conscious over stupid, minor shit. It's like "Yeah, I could use some work but unlike these chucklefucks I actually have hope to improve."

 

[Jumbo Gay Threat]

The farms have greatly reminded me that moderation is the best way to live a decent life and that it’s okay for me to like certain fandoms but never let them become apart of my life 24/7. It never hurts to have a life outside of your interests and laugh whenever you get the chance.

"HOW THE FUCK DO YOU KNOW ALL THIS??"

I have a similar experience.

"There's two more trans-woman at work and Daria is so happy "
"Yeah this is what will happen now: they will demand access to all spaces and events you occupy while also establishing a trans-only space for themselves, there they will air their grievances about you and everyone else and start formulating demands on how they need to be accommodated. They will be aggressive."
"Why would they do that? No, they seem nice and I've known Daria since before she transitioned."

*three months later*

"That thing you said actually happened... The trans-women conspire against us from their trans-only space "

With the internet being such a large part of troonery it's not surprising that the rigid patterns of behavior is replicated everywhere.

This site reminds me a lot of reddit.
