BANNED FOREVER
Maybe I'm late to the party, but I've noticed something on the internet lately. Something... horrifying.
Self-labeling... and not just like, normal self labeling. Weird, out-of-place self labeling.
I don't mean like, self labeling like "I'm a white middle class blah blah". I mean like people giving themselves titles and descriptors as though they had meaning, often drawn from the fantastical sense, or almost in an RPG like fashion. Nebulous terms like "I'm a cool warrior" that don't really mean anything and just piss me off. Talk like fucking people goddamnit!
I first noticed it in this thread: http://8wayrun.com/threads/what-kind-of-fighter-are-you.14908/ ...however, since then, I've noticed it all over the internet.
When did this become a thing? when did nebulous labeling without substance become... normal?
I have the feeling this is a terrible side effect from a youth indoctrinated in pokemon/yugioh/bad shounen, but hey, I'm willing to learn. What the hell is this all about?
