They targeted redditors. Redditors. We’re a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital karma saying we did. We’ll punish our selv’es doing things others would’st consider torture, because we think it’s fun. We’ll’st’d’ve spend most if not all of our free time reposting dank memes all to draw out a single extra karma per second. Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same reposts over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we can predict every post that will hit the front page such that some have attained such redditor nirvana that they can literally shitpost these memes blindfolded. Do these people have any idea how many cheetos have been eaten, keyboards stickified, lives destroyed in depression? All to latter be referred to as the new gallowboob? These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They shitpost on our media? We’re already moving on without them. They take up our lurking time? Redditors aren’t shy about throwing their’d’st’ves’ upvotes else where, or even making the content ourselves’. They think calling us racist, misogynistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We’ve been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds on t_d. They picked a fight against a group that’s already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they’ve threatened us with. Whom’st take it as a challenge when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we’sh’ldn’t can’t is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we’st used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex. Redditors are fierce, dank, memers by nature. We love a good challenge to our intelligence. The worst thing you did in all of this was to question us. You’re not special, you’re not original, you’re not the first; this is just another peasant to laugh at.
