No, no one takes your opinions seriously anyway. Haiyoo!

Somewhere before ravishing, apparently.

Your constant derision of "modern culture" triggers me btw

Your post or his? How many words?

Insert self-love / gag reflex joke here.

Modern as a pejorative?

Positive, people.  Positive.

I knew I could rely on you, Tempy. I'll go start prepping my safe space...

Apologies if I have triggered anyone who actually knows quantum physics or conceptual mathematics and understands what a Supertask really is

The problem with supertasks is that any attempt to describe one rapidly approaches complete stonerbabble, therefore 100% clear understanding can never occur. (ie. the nearer you get to completing your explanation, the stupider you sound.)

Describing a supertask is, in itself, a supertask.

Googled self-reflexivity in film and I get it. Think about self-reflexivity in jokes and idgi. So, my essay has gone off-piste.

Behold:

An essay on and meta-analysis of the post "Your constant derision of "modern culture" triggers me btw".

The post "Your constant derision of "modern culture" triggers me btw" succeeds on a number of levels and in this essay I aim to draw attention to its greatest structural strengths as well as posit possible meanings. The first way it succeeds is as a garden path post.

A garden path grammatical sentence is a sentence which deliberately obscures its meaning by luring the reader into a mode of thinking that is counter to how it should actually be understood. While grammatically this post is uncomplicated it is worth noting that is leads the reader down a garden path in 2 ways:

Garden Pathed earnestness
By opening with the words "Your constant derision" we expect the post to be earnest and emotive. However, the ironic use of "triggers" belies an alternative intention behind the post.

Garden Pathed lexicon
Mirroring the decline in earnestness is a switch from formal English to Internet-based linguistics. While the post stars with "Your" it ends with "btw". Were the post intended to be internally consistent it would have started with "U R" or ended with "by the way". From this we can gather that it is a stylistic choice intended to add strength to the previously described bait-and-switch in earnestness.

Another way in which the post is worth analysing is the way in which it uses, mimics and employs the language of modern feminism to both satirise and support it.

Surface level support
On a purely surface-level the post appears to use the language of "triggering" to imply a belief in the ideals of current-wave net-based feminism.

Surface level satirisation
However, the actual style of the post most closely mimics that of those who seek to mock and satirise feminists. Thus, the true meaning is obscured within itself like a wheel within a wheel. It is, as Freud would say, fucking deep.

Meta level support
By analysis the context of the post however, it becomes apparent that the author actually supports the surface level meaning, tying into the double garden path meta-narrative posed above.

Plausible deniability under the bros before hoes codex
The greatest strength of the post, however, is that the hyper-obscuration of meaning allows the author a blanket ability to deny any accusations of meaning, thus ensuring his continued place within the testosterone infused and patriarchal structure of the Bear and Badger hierarchy.

Conclusion
The post is dank as fuck.

Hahahahahaha

I didn't see his first post but Cinty is always the person to rise to ridiculous demands like writing poems and essays and I can relate to that

Also Supertasks - this is a fun video on it:

This thread is great and better because I missed a questionable thing but you guys are doing the work of pros here
