(no subject)
If there's a forum that actually has intelligent posters I've never been within a mile of it. I've been a regular poster at eight or nine forums over the years and I'm so sick to death of it, they're all utterly stupid bastards. Well, there's been one or two good ones that have usually been very small and didn't last long, but I'm talking about ones with at least 50 regular posters.
I'm just having a bad day because I visited this God awful Square Enix forum an idiot I don't need to mention the name of made me join, where everyone is sixteen or younger and they all think they have some grand insight into the world when in reality they don't know shit about anything and are upper middle class airheads from the American midwest who play too much Final Fantasy and watch too much Matrix and Fight Club.
We were all dumbasses at some stage though (and most of us probably still are), and I hope that they can learn from whatever stupid things they do. At least I can be proud though that I never had delusions of insight. There's nothing more annoying than having someone who was born in the decade after you were try to tell you about everything "they don't want you to know".
Then of course there's SayHey, the largest Kylie forum, fan or official, in the world. The vast majority of people there are upper middle class queens in their 30's who skank themselves on the internet when they're supposed to be working. They bitch about every single thing imaginable. If Kylie doesn't release a certain song as a single, there'll be endless bitching about how fantastic it is and how much of a crime it is that this song will never have the attention it deserves. If it later on IS released as a single, there'll be endless bitching about how ugly the dress she's wearing on the cover is, or how stupid the video is or how the b-side should have been on the album, it just never ends! Madonna has had about THREE b-sides in her entire history, these people have no idea how good Kylie actually is to her fans.
Today I read some old queen whinge about how Kylie should give the best seats in her concerts to the fans that have been there from the beginning and such. GIVE ME A BREAK, LOVE! Just because you spend a hundred dollars with each single release buying all the different singles and promos from all around the world doesn't mean that Kylie owes you SHIT. In Australia you can buy the one single format which has all the b-sides and remixes that are on the two UK singles and often an extra remix or two for five dollars and that should suit anyone fine, and if you spend anything extra on importing the German version too because it comes in a cardsleeve instead of a jewel case you've got no one to bitch about but yourself.
And then there are the constant spoilers. It happens with everything, I've just come to the conclusion that there are certain types of people in the world who never grew out of spoiling everything for everyone else to feel superior when they were kids. Anyway, there's a clearly marked sticky that says no tour spoilers in any other forum than the tour forum, and today, because yesterday the concert was televised in the UK (or so I'm told), there have been a shitload of spoilers. There were quite a few since the beginning, first people started to put promo pics in their sigs, then actual photos they took, which doesn't bother me THAT much as I don't get off on the costumes like some of those tragic fuckwits do. But having setlist spoilers is just not on. I can't stand the attitude some of these Brits have. "Fuck the Aussies, the tour has already done the main countries, if anyone hasn't seen it already it's their own fault". And then there are the Americans, who are bitter about her not touring there despite the fact that it is a GREATEST HITS TOUR and the only hits she's had in America have been The Locomotion and Can't Get You Out Of My Head, so they spoil it all too, as they're usually the first to download bootlegged performances and the like.
I don't know why I bother with all this crap, sometimes I feel like I'm addicted to the drama, but then when I have the odd holiday away from the internet I don't miss it at all. I wish I had something to do.
