Naru is an individual I was rather torn about creating a thread over, but the sheer entertainment derived from his constant insistence on taking any and every opportunity to turn an unrelated topic into a pseudo-philosophical argument was simply too endearing for me not to. I'll be the first to admit that while the quality of information regarding Naru is severely lacking, as at present the only identifying link I have is just his new Steam profile and his old Steam profile, the sheer quantity of his content is so overwhelming that it's impossible for me to let an individual like this disappear into the aether.
If any word or phrase can be used to describe Naru succinctly, it'd be "schizoposting personified." On Steam, a gaming platform which appears to be his primary hunting grounds, Naru can be spotted on nearly any news article which lands on the front page. On these pages, without variation, Naru will be found arguing about, well, anything. He's quite a fan of turning topics into political rants, but his posts are so incomprehensible that I'm not even sure if he falls onto the left, right, or center of the political spectrum (although he seems to be currently fixated on attacking leftist talking points, probably since they garner the most response). As an example, here is an article about some sort of book the writer believes lends insight to game design or something. The article itself isn't too interesting.
But what is interesting is Naru's singular response to the article itself, which isn't actually related and just uses its title as a segue into ranting politics.
A random reader makes a single offhand comment lightly poking fun at Naru.
Which prompts him to launch into a multi-paragraph diatribe about some indecipherable topic. For clarity, the posts below are presented in reverse-chronological order, as if that'll make it any less confusing.
There are a few things to note about this exchange which serves as a defining example of Naru's behavior. He will scour any singular news article on Steam to complain about politics and latches on to anybody willing to respond to him. Regardless if this individual agrees, disagrees, or merely mocks him, he will take this as a cue to begin a nonsensical rant. This example serves as a demonstration of Naru's tendency to vanity search his own username to find individuals to argue with, as I've occasionally spotted him on people's profiles who had not interacted with him yet were making comments about him with their friends. Given this fact, I don't doubt that upon discovery of this very thread, he will fail to fight his insatiable urge to post in it to continue arguing nonsense.
Outside of arguing about nothing over nothing, Naru's interests include...nothing. Maybe anime, I guess, since his Steam profile is devoid of anything besides arguing, but he'll occasionally use various generic anime clips as metaphors.
One would figure he may have a passing interest in games given Steam is a gaming platform with elements of social media. However, Naru either hides his information or he genuinely does not have any online friends (although his exchanges imply he is friends the users Bizerco, neon_tcps, and Xerces off-site) and there is no evidence he plays any games save for an achievement given to users who own 8 unspecified titles (which could be games inadvertently gotten for free anyway).
It's by no exaggeration that it seems Naru only seems to exist for the sake of arguing about anything. Seen above, Naru has over 500 comments on his profile alone. He regularly trims his comments past a certain date, but for sake of example, the oldest comment on his profile is from the 8th of August this year, shown below.
That's roughly 8 or so comments on his profile a day. For Steam, a gaming-focused platform whose user profiles are at best a place to post the occasional inside joke, that's a ridiculous amount, especially how it doesn't account for his posts arguing on random articles.
Strewn throughout these frequent posts, Naru evidently thinks very highly of himself. While the validity of his claims are dubious at best, his insistence of his superiority certainly fans the flames of individuals whom he's earned the ire of.
Upon seeing his posts, one would obviously conclude that Naru is nothing more than a troll seeking to annoy other Steam users. I'm certain this was true at a given point, but there's an extent where trolling turns into an obsession. Past this, "playing stupid" no longer remains a mere act. If you browse the news section of Steam for any topic at any time, you will find Naru arguing with somebody if the article has more than 10 comments on it. For the sake of example, here are some articles I found browsing the front page of Steam news right now, as I type this.
The first example is this article talking about the anniversary of Fallout: New Vegas. Here, Naru argues about the Japanese during World War II.
Another is this article discussing a website which made cheats for Destiny 2 receiving a C&D from the game's developer. In this one, Naru makes multiple failed attempts to goad people into arguing with him.
As a final demonstration, here is an article regarding the writer's enjoyment of racing games. Within it, Naru can be spotted again trying to argue about...uh...decapitation, I guess?
As this demonstrates, Naru's daily routine seems to be waking up at some random time and spending the whole day arguing on Steam news articles. Occasionally he'll find somebody who takes the bait, usually he'll just be screaming into an uncaring void, sometimes he'll be insulting an uncaring audience, at times he'll be the point of mockery. But one thing is consistent about Naru's posts: they are highly entertaining. Not much is currently known about Naru and it seems he's gone through great lengths to assure any random person cannot change this fact. But I'd be amiss to pass on the opportunity to share what has been a source of great amusement of mine for quite some time now. Naru doesn't seem set on changing his lifestyle choice of constantly arguing about nothing on Steam, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
