What is the point of e-griefing, really?


Posts: 2278

Perhaps some of you longtime e griefers could enlighten me, but I don't get the point of what you do. Perhaps you think it makes you look cool to fellow losers, but you'd be delusional to think most people are sitting in awe and admiration of your behavior. What is productive about an indiscriminate crusade of negativity online? I think it probably has something to do with some mental complex in these people that makes them unable to enjoy other activities. The rage at whatever social alienation they feel inside motivates them to disregard all other aspects of internet discourse for that shit.

Truly, the internet is a wonderful resource for productive and interesting discussions. Yet the vast majority of people online seem to gravitate towards mindless destruction. They're like that guy in GTA that just flies around in his Oppressor all day and griefs people doing missions. I think maybe it is because most people just aren't all that smart so they choose to grief because it makes them feel special.

What do you think? What's the point?

E-grief still hits real people, but without any of the irl hassle. 

It's like ordering pizza instead of cooking.

The dark comedy that follows schadenfreude, that follows slapstick, that follows absurdity, it's a smorgasbord of delights. The narratives tell a story, but with this they can aim to steer it towards desired outcomes at another's expense. 

As to why these appetites are there, they're pretty natural for the human condition in general, but their specificity is part of the variation that makes us that much more unique from each other. 

I see much room to learn from another's suffering.

 I mean it makes sense why people would want to live in my head, my head is pretty cool.

Does this make sharing their weaknesses like renting out apartments, or more like turning it into a home for squatters?
