    Please, explain this behaviour (another triumph of goods manners on Twitter)

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...zi-trolls.html

    I was aghast, aghast I tell you, when I read that fellows sent here pictures of their guns. That was as surprising as a JRPG featuring a white haired bishonen with a taste for fashion only matched by his taste for treason.

    I really have to ask... how do you get 'treason' out of the article?

    I try to make snarky comments.

    ''That was as surprising as suave billionaire Bruce Wayne having a passion for fighting crime and an hatred for wearing pants'' (IE, it's not surprising)

    This seems to be a random collection of words.

    Wait is this thread about being inevitably betrayed by white-haired pretty boys in JRPGs or about a woman getting abuse online?

  10. #10
    Abuse and pictures of guns. As I said, I'm so surprised of the association.

    Then why did you bring up being betrayed by white-haired pretty boys?

    It's a grammatically correct sentence, but what does it mean? /confused /sarcasm

    Well "That was as surprising as a JRPG featuring a white haired bishonen with a taste for fashion only matched by his taste for treason" can be reworded to:
    "That was as surprising as finding out the villain of a JRPG is the dude with the white hair." or even further reworded to: "I'm not surprised."

    No matter what the OP posts it always confuses me. Why did she even need that bit of fluff in her OP?

    It was just an elaborate analogy, it wasn't supposed to be relevant to the matter.

    Actual blue mod response on doing what they volunteered to do. No wonder this place is infested.

    Maybe people are just getting sick of social media mob justice. There's evidence of the crime, so I'm pretty sure the police have everything they need to work with on this one. We don't need the mob.

    Yes. It was an attempt at an funny analogy, because ''dudes that sent those kind of threads'' and ''dude that send pictures of their guns'' seems to be similar categories.

    The mob against the girl ? What she can possibly have done to this proud crowd ?

    ‘There’s a disgusting machismo culture here,' she said. ‘Mexico presents itself to the outside world as a progressive and forward-looking country, but scratch the surface and you see how ugly it really is.
    Not sure if I've ever heard of anyone describe Mexico as "progressive" before.
