Getting tired of offensive 4chan memes. The sick, stupid cackling of the people that present them to me is starting to grind my gears something fierce. It's like, stand for something or just please shut the fuck up. This "le enfant provocateur" shit was old in 2014.

I think everybody would be tired of those, given what 4chan is.

There's a certain age group that likes to parrot the meme of the hour. It bothers me, too.

That's not even what bothers me.  Its calling things memes that haven't even done anything memetic.  Like someone making a picture with a caption and calling it a meme when showing it to other people for the very first time.  Its one of one those cases where mainstream culture decides something is cute and grinds it into meaningless buzzword dust to sprinkle on their sitcom cakes.

this KILLS the meme

Worse still is how forced and inorganic they are. You find that no longer is a joke turned into a meme, but instead have people arbitrarily declare "this is a meme now" and turn jokes into rules, utterly killing the soul and comedy of the bants

Praising things that are "non-conformist" simply for the sake of them being non-conformist. Novelty/difference does not imply worth.

Chronological snobbery.

Straw man.

I am sick to death of people who think they're game design experts or know "the industry" inside-and-out because they watched Sequelitis once. It's like those people who think they're some sort of political operator with the inside scoop because they glanced at the front cover of National Enquirer while checking out at Wal-Mart.

Oh, and if I see one more video thumbnail with a featureless cartoon avatar pointing at some totally unremarkable thing from the 90's and saying HUHHHH!? WHAAAAA? WHADJUAFUHHHH@?!??@? I am going to into YouTube's central servers with a crowbar and probably never coming out. Doubly so if, instead of a cartoon avatar, it's some mid-20s nobody with a douchey beard facepalming at some random game that was recently announced/released.

It will continue to happen until somebody explains what the possible harm of necroposting is.

Do you know that feeling when you have an argument, and then you move on, and then somebody brings it up again several days later when the argument is dead and buried

Yeah, that

Or when you've exhausted a topic and moved on and then some guy thinks he has something to add but he doesn't

That too

Or the build up of negative energy, which is like literally entropy and the antithesis of life and existence, in the material plane and how it literally leeches life energy away

Especially that

I doubt this is literal, plus I’m not sure what you mean by “negative energy”

As for Internet things that annoy me, I can’t think of any at the moment

Nowadays, I've noticed a trend of forced, false positivity in many communities. The kind of "We are a FRIENDLY community of FRIENDLY HUGS ^_^ so you can't discuss [enormous list of innocuous topics] and if you disagree you're evil" stuff.

Inevitably, these places are the most hateful and spiteful things I've seen online, because the rules effectively prevent people from excluding toxic users, harmful attention seekers and just general twats. They build up until normal users are fed up and leave, and you're just left with a bunch of weridos echoing their own severely deranged opinions back to themselves.

It was all perfectly tolerable, but I've seen people with this attitude leaking into some of the communities I visit, causing much derailment. I guess you can say I hate the habit of echo chambering.

It's a reference to D&D metaphysics (now outdated since the 4th edition) where "Negative Energy" from the "Negative Energy Plane" was what fueled undead creations and such.
