speaking as a gay-married asexual who has been using these forums for years, it was once upon a time an open secret that op was always a fucking gay dude. then the board got shitted up by true believers. then the board went into its current state: a chaotic battleground between true believers and obsessive fakers where i ended up turning to posting as a true believer... mostly. sometimes i post ideas adjacent to my own. i used to think i was... i dunno. i always liked het porn more, but i didn't actually want to fuck women. i didn't really think i was straight. i think i thought i was bi. but damn, you know, i don't actually like sex. anyway. op isn't usually a faggot anymore. i think there are some feminists who post misogynistic screeds here in the ranks of the fakers, and some of the racist posters are actually anti-racists trying to figure out racist psychology, and then i think a lot of the users of the board are religious conservatives desperate to figure out where if anywhere they can spread their shitty parody of having actual values. there are actual fascists who want to fuck up the other social groups until they fragment and become convertable, too. the thing all the users have in common is that they're desperate for influence. this place is a vortex that positively reeks of memetic desperation. i'm not immune. i see people trying to manipulate this site as malefactors. sinners, basically, but i use that word "sinner" to set up a claim where i try to "love the sinner". this place where people are desperate to bring about change? these actually are potentially effective people. they need someone to ministrate lovingly and try to teach them better ways of being. i'm living the dream of the golden-scaled singing atheist preacher, and if any of you actually stalked me enough to get that reference, you can sod all the way off.
