wait what

so your saying gay people can't tell the difference between cute and ugly girls

wow. how did you know what i was gonna say?

anyway, im sorry if actual women here feel offended by what i said. i have the tendency of not being serious bordering on rudeness.

yes but only gay for you

did you know? there's nothing in the world as ruthless or impartial as death

o/ I feel offended.

well you shouldn't be since i formally apologised and proper etiquette demands that you accept my apology and move on with your life

well, okay then. i'm a despicable un-redeemable person with no love for women. fuck me, at least it's better then complimenting women (or people for that matter) when you don't really mean it. "honey, does this dress look good on me?" "uhhhh... sure, sure it does."

i realize you can't always say what you think, but for me that only holds true in real life.

This is the thing that's fundamentally wrong with internet forums. And I don't mean you or GW, I mean internet. Of course the social situation is different online and that old "don't say anything you wouldn't say face to face" thing is bullshit, but that has nothing to do with people completely abandoning all sense of social conduct, discretion and basic manners. The rules are different, but that doesn't mean there aren't any rules. Anonymity is one of the main culprits here, give people real names and they immediately shape up. That effect is actually amazingly strong, it can do wonders when Marge becomes Markus Hauru, even though you're still complete strangers.

This hasn't much to do with the original comment on dutch girls anymore, I've heard people say lots of stuff like that outside internet. You just hit the nail on the head with that sentence I quoted.

It's funny seeing peoples behaviour change on the net once they meet the nickname (or even the real name) in person. Even those who behave politely and emphatically. People continuously say stuff you consider stupid or you think that they're wrong in something and normally you let most of it pass. It may change your view of the person and your behaviour towards them but you don't immediately stand up and declare "That, is incorrect! I want to debate this!". Like what I'm doing here.

that's the only reason people do it. it's a feeling of freedom to say whatever the hell you want without any consequences. the entire concept of "trolling" is built upon that.

i myself have done a lot of bullshit on the internet, especially when i was younger. i can't even count anymore how many forums / online games i got banned from. you don't feel the consequences on the internet, you're not realizing that you're talking to an actual person.

but whatever, the internet will never change
