Speaking from experience, I highly recommend banging at least one uggo while you're still young because not only is it probably going to be an easy lay, it gets you past that awkward young "how do I talk to girl" phase once you realize that when the lights are off, they're all the same. Unless they are fat. But that's a whole different beast.

That's why I'm limiting my observation to forums that only lean one way. I know I oversimplified a bit, but when was the last time you saw a A&H poster threaten to kill themselves or try to get another fired from their jobs because they disagreed about videogames?

And even you noted that shit behaviour is only really limited to the political boards here. Whereas go to ResetERA or SomethingAwful and the constant political commisaring and emotional meltdowns are the rule, not the exception, on any thread about any subject. Look how many more rules ERA has compared to KF or ONA. I've also noticed the same thing on Facebook (where there are WAY more rightoids than you might expect, the Zucc allows hilariously racist things these days). Left-wing groups have a million rules and everyone threatens to kill themselves over stupid shit. Right-wing groups just laugh at the left and their rules seem to extend to "don't be a dickhead".

My personal theory is that leftists require authority whereas rightists believe in individual responsibility, at least in their online forms. Right-wingers tend to trust each other to behave, and if you don't behave, meh, that's your problem. But leftists must get an authority figure involved, and believe that people won't behave unless corralled.
I have this theory that a lot of the modern left is made up of peaked in highschool former teachers pets who are eternally searching for a teacher who can give them good boy points for thinking the right things and being able to follow instructions and who they can use to punish others by snitching to.

Teachers pets were usually smart though (how do you suck up to a teacher while being retarded?), these people have the IQ of snails. Retarded snails. Like they literally know nothing about anything to an astonishing degree. All they can do is recycle things one of the Poster Bois they follow say to a T.

They more likely all have college degrees (paid for by their parents) in some worthless Arts. It gives them the air of superiority for having a degree, they think they're more educated than someone who did something useful (cause we studied the history of the history of reading books!) but they also didn't actually learn anything they can apply to...anything. But they weren't actually GOOD at said degree, because they're also lazy and empty.
 
I have to agree with @McSneaks honestly, One even wonders if (and how) the likes of Slayven and Entremet managed to get potty trained and form whole sentences.

A PhD in Physics told me once to not always assume that doctors are the brightest bulbs. Reading nothingloud's adventures about liposuction, sodomy, and his close and friendly relationship with addiction (weed of all things, no less) has pretty much vindicated that story for me.
 
The entire forum is predicated on mindlessly consooming. I bet people browse this thread and immediately buy 2 Xbox out of nervousness.
ResetEra is well known for their loyalty and worship of Sony its a carry over from NeoGaf but It wouldn't surprise me if they buy xboxes anyways just to destroy them or secretly play them.

ResetERA fell for the idiotic propaganda that Microsoft is "pro-consumer" going into this generation of consoles, so Sony is the enemy now, going back to 2019 or so.

I thought they still worship Sony cause it’s the wokest company out there which is saying a lot. Didn’t know it changed.

Several of their mods were deeply involved in the Xbox Ambassador program, and their shielding for Microsoft over the last few years has been utterly insane, even banning users who were opposed to, or even mildly concerned about, the Microsoft buyout of Activision.

It has actually been abundantly obvious which platform holder they favor by looking at how they moderate Xbox and comparison threads.
 
They got permabanned eventually lol , but for another post in that topic>
He forgot Rule 0 of Restera - trans people are above reproach at all times.

If there weren't the onerous signup requirements I'd consider making an account to post EchoesOfTheCyborg-style lesbian fetish posts. Dial it back after a warning or two, post about other shit for a bit, then come out as trans. And lesbian. Then resume the hornyposting.

I wonder how many people on that site got peaked by Echoes and are just remaining silent. GalacticSpecter wasn't a troll account, he had 6.5k posts since 2017. An old head, someone who presumably knew where he was, pointed this out. The clique circled the wagons and the nonbeliever was cast out, but there's a little questioning of the level of inclusiveness that the site has been fostering. I wouldn't be surprised to see people in the future try to probe the line of where they can gesture faintly in the direction of peculiar behavior by The Anointed Ones of the forum.

uhoh, he went directly against the "media literacy" narrative
I'd say he's half right - Starship Troopers is a terrible satire of fascism. All of the satirized elements - propaganda, militarism, limited franchise - existed before fascism, in societies of various types. The fascist part basically just ends up being Doogie Howser's SS costume. It's a decent satire of militarism and of goofy gung-ho military movies, with the platonic ideal of the underacheiver who finds his purpose as an aphorism-spouting hardass who was forged in deadly training and honed under the command of psychopathically ruthless leaders (even if they had to completely re-learn the concept of combined arms long into the era of easy interstellar travel.)
