I hate memes so much. But this just seems so appropriate.

A wild meme appears!

As I stated IN THE POST YOU QUOTED, I hate memes, but made an exception. Therefore, no irony.

Nobody cares about anyone else's opinion - be it mine, yours, or a cult of angry star wars nerds - when they are enjoying what they enjoy.

Everyone cares about opinions, that's why we socialize on a forum with strangers.

How does your obsession with popularity not make you yourself a phony, Garem?

I don't care about popularity. I'm just trying to help others get it. You see?

Why? If you're so concerned about phoniness, why write a thread to help people achieve popularity? You're just creating more "phonies."

Let's ignore for the moment that you've constructed a category of people ("phonies") distinct from supposedly "independent" or "free-thinking" individuals while ignoring the fact that "phoniness" can and does ebb and flow situationally as well as the inevitability of borrowing from the opinions and social contributions of those that have come before you. Let's just assume that you're right for the sake of argument.

If you are so concerned about the "epidemic" of phonies in society, why contribute to that epidemic? Why write a guide to help random strangers achieve popularity? That seems very superficial of you. Phony!

Because popularity =/= phoniness

What exactly is "authentic" about behaving along certain guidelines in order to win the approval of others?

Hey phony get out of here with your recycled trash. What, you're not funny enough to come up with something original and have to use -blam!- memes from the internet? You're just a big phony Garem.

I like how your sub box is full of science and political videos but your recommendations are full of anime girls kissing each other.

Just Zoid being Zoid ^_^

You're not changing your entire personality, just shifting it. Therefore, no phoniness.

You see?

He's actually upset, he's trying to laugh along with us in the hopes it will go away.

If we disagree, it's nothing personal, opinions are opinions.
Antagonizing me to build a false sense of worth is so damn cute.

Brighten your day with science.

But how is the use of memes or the expression of opinions shared by a majority of people inauthentic?

I was kinda popular before in a way. I was not popular as a user. I just made threads where I'd make up these ridiculous stories and then post them. They'd get tons of replies. Pretty sure people thought that all those stories were made from different people but it was pretty much just me.

Some examples would be that thread about someone getting their dick stuck in a disc, that story about putting sperm into my sister's shampoo and that story about how me and my brother fapped using the same sock.
