>>8114962Absolutely everywhere on the internet and wider society is like this now. Absolutely joyless and miserable. Any joke or intentionally ridiculous statement is taken maximally seriously.
People dont want to have joy and mirth anymore. This is especially true in videogames. The only ones people play are team based competitive ragebait like league of legends and valorant where they just seethe at their team the whole time. If you ever watch a game stream, despite doing an ostensibly fun recreational activity all day every day the streamer is just utterly miserable and perpetually annoyed at the game and other players. Every few months a classic deathmatch game is released then dies instantly because no one wants to play it.
I think its a symptom of discord, what we call "hugboxes" and the ubiqitous block function. I dont want to even call it neuroticism because its well beyond that. I myself am in the 99th percentile of neurotocism so I am acutely aware of these things and have to counteract them for my own mental survival. But these people have no defense and nothing to stop the downward spiral into the misery monastary.
The fact of this reality is, normie cattle want to be miserable. They dont want to mentally process or handle anything slightly unexpected or unusual. They want today to be like yesterday and tomorrow to be like today. They only want to post boring ass life photos, pets, gym, edited and filtermaxxed selfies, maybe some shitty non-offensive memes. They are passive entities. And thats why we call them normies and have such contempt for them.
Really they should not be on the internet at all. It wasnt meant for them, the push for mass internet and social media adoption by facebook and google was a mistake and is mindraping skullfucking them with no survivors.
