Sociopath Community

we are pigs in shit

While writing this, did you realise that other internet communities fit this description too, and is that why you added the "moreso than most sites" part? 

Do you like Reece’s puffs more so than other Reece’s products?

We live in a society.

All of those factors mean that in order to be a regular member you have to have a certain resilience, and maybe even be a little crazy.

I tend to see it more like a series of unscheduled gauntlets that test us as individuals. 

No one comes here strong, and we all learn from each other's mistakes. It's like a Social Dojo to me. 

If you're not resilient you either will be scared off by the name or get bullied off. Really it isn't just ASPD, though everybody here probably has something going on mentally, I think the common link is probably resilience.

"The people aren't ASPD, the Community is." 

So, I think this site fits the definition of a microcosm pretty neatly. Moreso than most sites actually.

Plenty of other sites do similar ingroup practices, but they don't tend to do it specifically like this. 

While this group like others has a period of adjustment that can border on Frat Hazing, the lack of "Rules" as a goal has the social climate more reflect the ego and will of each user on the whole instead of just having a bunch of people parrot the same scripts. 

If someone is behaving like someone else on this site, genuinely? That happened from peer modeling, not abiding by rules. It allows people to be punished for, and get away with, things that otherwise might be treated differently over superficial reasoning that allows for social stagnation in those areas otherwise. We've effectively made a small-scale testing ground for influence with access to really strange and diverse subject matter. 

If people mirror Jim's behaviors (if not outright accept his tutelage) for example, that's completely on his shoulders, is of his own merits. It makes it more respectable than some mod waving his tools around or some sadsap DDOSing the place through the social binds that allow those shifts in e-power to happen. 

There's not much to admire over winning by following a set script, but winning through your own script is novel. 

The Dark Reciprocity within the Accidental Irony of this bunch is also much of what keeps people drawn in, but that whole "Carnival you didn't notice yourself joining" metaphor's more of a hook. There's many cases where what's shown here is beyond "human convention" in the writing sense of the phrase, instead defying it artfully as only real life could, captured for us to read on and even interact with. 

It's really about the investment if you ask me though. It's hard to walk away from something once you let it become a part of you. The "If you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you" kind of stuff. In time the curiosity can become more like an appetite. 

This place shows us the boundaries of what it can mean to be 'a person' within a space that really only puts your mind at risk over the experiences. From what I've seen so far from meeting people, SC people aren't really that different from your every day guy, these people are just surprisingly forward about their truths by comparison to your everyman.

Dig into that random guy at the bus stop's past and their depths will sound pretty fucked up too, unless they're that simple.
