>>15008467Real talk though, rage addiction is real, especially for how easy it is to get (You)'s on this joint. and it's too easy to just rage against and insult against some faceless non-entity that only exists as replies on a Filipino coconut carving forum.
Arguing is addicting, the reply notification is like a hit of codeine. Go into some thread for a series that's exhausted all possible avenues of discussion and just recycle the same arguments over and over, nobody needs to budge.
It's even worse in the online age and if you don't have much going on besides working, it can be addicting to be by yourself, withdrawn from society, and even worse when you do try to be social and nothing ever aligns properly, people too busy or unavailable or just ghosting you.
I can just say
>(insert series/random fanbase)fags seething about (scenario I just made up in my head)>fromsoftfags seething about I dunno the Mario movie or somethingAnd it's like carpetbombing. Throwing bread to birds. It doesn't even have to make sense, look at all the Xenoblade 3 threads focused around what games it's releasing near, or random ass conspiracies about other Nintendo dev teams.
Look how many people on this site apparently stalk trannies on twitter. How do they even find people that can't even manage a few dozen likes/retweets? But they'll post it here, knowing it'll get people riled up just cause a gay/black/transgender person exists and may or may not have some thoughts about a video game.
It's exhausting, even those highs don't hit like they use to. Made the conscious discussion to disconnect from raging into the machine. Sure, maybe my video game thread dies, or worse, gets hijacked by something frivolous and inane, but if the catalog has nothing for me, I can just leave, find something else to do, actually play a fucking video game, watch some anime or a TV show, get exercise.
I've found it helps to set a hard time limit, just get off 4chan after X minutes no matter what.
