There's a high chance that 99% of these supposed Clowncels and threats are just 4Chan *******s trying to ruin something else for the lulz and the media just lap it right up. They convinced the media that the OK sign is a white power symbol as well as a freaking cartoon frog. Any time these creeps can whip up a media stir they do it.

Except they did actually make both things white power symbols because they used them to spread racist stuff. It wasn't some trick, they just literally created new racist symbols.

I meant it figuratively.

I certainly don't buy the Fight Club style idea that Cameron is in his imagination or anything like that. Ferris is just a jerk.

I really enjoyed it the first time I saw it, but the way I read it, the implied theme is that Ferris wants to help Cameron attain self-respect. Ultimately I don't think he comes off genuine or well-intentioned enough to believe that. It ruined the movie for me.
I didn't realize that until I was older and had friends like that. It's still a fun movie but a reminder that some people get all the breaks while others end up explaining to their parents what happened to their car. Thankfully for me, I didn't get caught like Cameron when we'd joyride underage!

I certainly don't buy the Fight Club style two people in one idea or anything like that. Ferris is just a jerk.

There is so much wrong with his post I don't even know where to begin.

Your first f*** up. Seeing Ferris Bueller only once
Your second f*** up. Not liking it.

JOJO , where did it all go wrong?

Despite what Dear Leader tells us, voter fraud is not that simple and you can only vote once. But every vote counts, especially in the deep red part of NJ that is Ocean County. We have not had a single Democrat elected to the board of Chosen Freeholders since 1989. We are looking to change that, and we have received endorsements from NJEA, Garden State Equality, Academy Award Winning Actress Julianne Moore, and the New Jersey Young Democrats. So go vote if you are an Ocean County resident!

Hey voters, he's referring to himself in the first-person plural :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh: Dying :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

Sometimes the protagonist just sucks.

Halloween 3: Main Doctorman Character does ER stuff while drinking and takes advantage of a young girl in an emotionally compromised state
Blade Runner: I love this movie, but oh boy is Deckard rapey
Superman: ****s off to space to leave Lois to raise a sickly alien child all alone
Dumbledore: Oh my God where to begin. How about the little stuff, like when he steals candy from hospitalized children?

Elsa:

But Ilsa gave up true love to be with Victor Laszlo and spearhead the fight against tyranny, so they aren't all bad. Although, I have met girls like that, stupidly self-sacrificing girls. The less said about that the better.

You're right Beef, as usual.

4Chan was created back in the early 2000's by one of the anime pedos that got ran out of the Something Awful comedy forum. Since everyone that posts there is anonymous, it's practically the Wild West. At least it was until people were openly posting illegal shit like REAL child porn, doxxing the innocent, hate crimes, and more there and the ultra scumbags got ran off to sub-Chans of all different names. It's the festering birthing pits of the worst trolls on the internet. They were where Anonymous, the political group with the V For Vendetta masks, came from as well.

Specifically, they were refugees from the SA Subforum called "Anime Death Tentacle ____ _____house," which was created to contain these people, as they were driving off too many of the more normal types. It was openly referred to as a Concentration Camp.

It's just an image board. Like this, but with more pictures. And it's anonymous.

If I recall correctly, didn't SA go to a subcription model to try and thin those types out even further?

Go look it up on Wikipedia. It's an infamous anonymous web forum, originally started by anime fans who didn't like not being able to post shit like lolicon on another site, that spawned a whole bunch of imitators who were too awful for the main board over the years and have WAY too much influence as the main source of toxic internet culture.

Exactly. The most criminal it got was during the rise of Bit Torrent and eventually they had to ban that because of all the terrible new members that just joined for the free files. Admittedly I finally bought an account for that reason but my friends had posted there for years. The early days of Internet forums had content wars between SA, Ebaum's World, The Stile Project, and other imitators. Ebaum was the worst content thief on the net at the time and the damn kid probably went to high school with my cousins (Eric Bauman is from Webster, NY) and became a millionaire just by slapping his watermark on other sites' funny memes and photoshops and putting them on his site.

A whole lot of internet shit I haven't thought about in years is rushing back.
