Why is everyone on the internet near-nigh exactly the same?
Take it seriously or joke around, I don't care, I just want some form of answer.
If everyone on the Internet was basically the same, I wouldn't be wasting precious furry-erotica google searching time with a Final Fantasy message board.
Ok then, let me rephrase :
Why is the internet made of up groups of people that are exact copies of each other?
Probably the same reason that Chavs and Goths and other social sterotypes all appear to be the same, it's just another group of people.
Edit: I hate the word Chav. >:{
Cloning is dangerous. Hide teh childrens!

Because selling your soul is the easiest thing you can do in life.

The people who are just SO desperate for some sort of acceptance, or at least mild pity. You know the kind, the kind who join forums and say "oMG, My life sucks, I think i'm gng to kill myself, unless sum1 tells me not too!!"3 :( :( :("

You mean like those people that make observations about Internet culture and then create threads stating so?
Then there are people like me, who get their kicks from being part of an Internet community, yet at the same time think themselves above the Internet community by pointing out the irony in a topic created by a person belonging to the group of people who make observations about Internet culture. This, however, stems from the fact that they have little or no social interaction offline and must prove themselves superior to a bunch of faceless conformists.

OMG
WTF
ROFL

BBQ!
I agree with Master Quan.
Although I think that, maybe, until you start to really get to know them, a lot of people seem the same. When you start becoming close, then you can make more of a distinction. Or not, hell if I know. Blegh.
ZOMG I LIEK TEH FINALE FANTESYIE!
I really don't know if there's an answer to this question.
If everyone on the internet was liek me then the wolrd would have blown up 3 years ago.
I guess I'm NOT a beautiful and unique snowflake. :(
Absolutely not ;)
this is Qrrbrbirlbel news:
Zeeky Boogy Doog

Haha, yeah, that would fit you pretty well, Lindy.Quote:

Duh.
Aside from that, Psy wins.
To irritate Raistlin, hopefully.
Not me, I spoke my mind and was immediately labelled an outcast when I first posted in these forums. Ever since, any time I speak my mind calmly in a single post, someone replies seriously, "Calm the hell down, we don't need your self-righteous rants in this thread, we just want to have fun and f-bomb the rules of society 'cause we're hardcore, even though death metal hurts our ears and we don't get enough sunlight so we're called 'Pale Kids' by the jocks at school, who I needn't mention also beat us with sticks and other blunt objects, speaking of which, I made my own Nailbat and I'm gonna give you the beatdown with it, you non-conformist! Communism rocks!!"Quote:

Shlup is of the type that basically says the opposite of a topic poster, and makes judicious use of "zomg dun judge peeple!" or words to that effect, YET JUDGES PEOPLE ALL THE TIME ZOMG HYPOCRISY.
Aside from that, someone give me an application form for Something Awful then.
Omigosh, that made me go, "Awww!"Quote:

the internet is never to be taken seriously nor the people on it, it's a circus

I don't know about the rest of you but I act like an idiot because there's no praise or any sort of response to being 'insightful' 'coherent' or 'intelligent', whatever the hell those words mean.
If you want to know why everybody seems to be the same look at the title of this webpage -- eyes on FINAL FANTASY
we're all FF players or at least perverts who have stumbled upon this forum and for some reason decided to stay. Most of the demographic are 16+ year olds, which means they don't know who they are, what they are doing, or why they are here (granted I don't know that either). Being too young to form a sense of personal identity or existential grounding they cling to pop culture or 'popular' or 'mainstream' or 'underground' stuff and call themselves individuals because they, like so many others just like them, do this.
Good enough for you? I managed to make a rant devoid of misanthropic rantings and nihilistic ideologies. Praise me.
God help the people that try and copy you, Lindy.
I blame Joel, personally.

Geez, Shoden.xD I've been here about the same amount of time as you, and I still have the sneaking suspicion that most people still think "newbie!" when they see me xD
It's just stupid people ratting on about you and making up crap, this is not as bad as the stuff i've had thrown to me in #eoff.
anyway Noob is a spinoff of the word Newbie.
It's not as if the internet is a system used for destructive purposes and means of hooking kids onto porn and stuff. Is it?
What on earth are you talking about? xD
which part? theres 2 parts. 1. What I get thrown at me by idiots. 2. a summary of the internet.
Why are you seeking the answer to a question that you already know the answer to, I wonder? Whether the question is designed to be a trick or not, I hope you find what you are looking for.Quote:

Remember when everyone started copying Albedo? And Giga Guess and his Giga Points? That was pretty annoying.
Pssh, Giga Guess ripped his points thing from Red Wizard. Or are they the same person? I don't know, I get confused.
what the hell? I aint heard of this Giga guess
