Another day, another story.

Oddly enough, I'm tired. I mean, really really tired. But woot, at least I'm still cynical enough to make an observation on human nature. Okay, this post may be somewhat boring. I know loads of people hate too much text.

Nevertheless, I'm going to post it. Here comes Wall of Text No. 1!


On all of the forums I've been to so far, for example deviantART, and in fact any place which features the posting of personal opinions, like blogs for instance, all of them largely consist of teenage emo girls (and occasionally some guys), who always post poorly-exposed, grainy, blurred cellphone photographs of themselves on the Internet, whine about how they've been mistreated, misunderstood, and hated in real life, and cut themselves to draw attention.

Yes, that's right. Cut themselves. For those of you who've been living under a rock for the past few years, apparently cutting yourself is the "in" thing to do right now. Nick yourself on the wrist, "n de physicle pain just washas aal the emotional hurt mii suffered"! They always always do it in private, so nobody else can see. Yeah, right, as advertised. It's obvious as to what the answer should be. One glaring question that just begs to be asked is, "IF YOU ARE SO BLOODY SAD, SECRETIVE AND UNHAPPY ABOUT IT, THEN WHY THE HECK ARE YOU POSTING IT ONLINE?" And that gets them every time.

In communities where popularity is actually measured by pageviews, like deviantART, such emo people go to the extremes of posting "Goodbye World :(" topics, in which they list out all their sorrows and their pains and their fears. Sure, naturally a whole load of people will reply to this, some cynical like me, but mostly sympathetic people who fall for their traps. They go to the person's page to encourage him/her, and BAM! Emo Person's Pageview + 1!

One week later, "Goodbye World :(".

Two weeks later, "Goodbye World :(".

Three weeks later, "Goodbye World :(".

Repeat ad nauseum.

What I don't understand is, if you really really want to kill yourself, to the point of posting what you're going to do 4 times a month on a forum where nobody could possibly help you, then why don't you just shut the hell up, and jump already? It's better for us all.

Oh wait, you're nauseous already? Sick of this WoT or of emo people? Hmm, both I guess.


Whoops.
