    This drama has unfolded for me in order as I scroll today and I’m loving it.

    Guy would be much better off if he could understand that he misrepresented the community by using a “harmless joke meme format” that made out everyone to be rude to highlight “the stupidity of the few mean responses”…like of course you’ve made the whole community peeved now you ding bat, the crux of your meme is a gross over exaggeration which makes it a lie.

    get insulted by edge case dickheads (normal amount for any online conversation it should be noted)

    Make a mountain out if a mole hill, complain about it back to them using a meme

    meme paints entire community as dickheads

    They point out how dramatic, annoying, and stupid you’re acting and tell you you’re wrong because the meme format is inaccurate to what actually happened

    Act more dramatic and stupid in response, fighting with people in subsequent threads.

    You can’t make this shit up

      It’s one of those great online moments where you stare at the unfolding text on your screen in disbelief and can only wonder about what life is like on the other side of these polished glass surfaces for some people

      I think their original meme was inaccurate but not bad. The way they captioned it was the real issue but even that could read like a joke. But then the way they responded in the comments made it clear that this was not a joke.

      Oh no! A meme being a gross exaggeration?

      That’s generally how memes work…

      To be fair, that community is literally still making fun of the guy for his request, proving his point entirely

        The guy walked into a room and asked for help. He got as much help as the community could offer. One guy in the back of the room was snarky. Everyone else in the room reprimands this person with downvotes. Op creates a smear campaign against the entire community walks back in the room and calls everyone dickheads. The room tries to reason with Op. Op doubles down on their position.

        This is a self inflicted wound.

        They’re not making fun of him for his request. They’re making fun of him for being so upset about someone telling him he types wrong that he needs to bring it up in every response and even make a meme about it.

        Not really, they were just bizarre in the comments. I think the original post and the memes weren’t that bad. Dude just wouldn’t let it go.
