Whenever I heard about those people who saw the movie Avatar and then experienced clinical depression because their life wasn't enough like the movie, well I thought they were stupid...Why would people want to live in a blue washed world where everyone is a cat monkey? Even though I sort of understand wanting to be a cat, none of the rest of it made sense. I personally couldn't wait for Avatar to be over the first time I saw it and also every time I saw it. Then the other day I watched Helluva Boss and now I'm devastated that I'm not a gay robot clown dating a buff demon in a hot pink cartoon hellverse...It makes sense to me now, this experience, what I have, is the gay version of Avatar Syndrome. I want to apologize for doubting you all, I just didn't get it yet.

I don't have "Avatar syndrome" (whatever that is), but I do want to live in a world where we are a lot more symbiotic with nature like they are in the movies.

Did you get depressed after you saw the movie? That's Avatar Syndrome. It's also known as PADS post Avatar depression syndrome.

Sure, downvote the truth, doesn't make it false.

No, I did not. Not after I saw any of the Avatar movies, or literally any other sci-fi movie.

Except maybe Star Wars, but even then realistically I know that within that universe there's all kinds of inequality and fascist bullshit going on on planetary scales.

I had this effect after reading Adastra. I still sometimes think about the characters and then get depressed they aren't real.

Sure your dumb ass comment gets 5 up votes, while my hilarious ones get downvoted. This is the dumbest fucking website. Im probably just going to give up and try Discord. This website is so fucking stupid. I thought reddit was bad but this place is just completely bullshit so far.

Your comments just aren't funny, I'm sorry. You're just coming off as a dick for no reason.

The votes are absolutely pointless on this platform, as they mostly are on reddit. You're just gonna have to deal with it.

It's not that serious. Votes mean practically nothing here.

Yeah im dealing with it. I don't really agree with you on the "not funny" part. I posted an amazing comic I created about a character named Sneak Attack Man. He's a fucking cat man that sneak attacks you. His super power is that he makes you forget he exists so he can keep sneak attacking you. That post got 2 downvotes. Not funny my fucking ass that post was goddam genius.

Listen, I know when I deserve a downvote. Im used to getting awarded for comments on reddit. People would give 50cents of their actual hard earned money to tell me good job on the comment. Some of my comments would also be downvoted but there it made a little bit more sense. This place is just fucking dumb and im going to have to branch out to Discord probably to find sanity.

Based purely on your description in this most recent comment, that sounds really fucking stupid.

I have not seen that post nor do I care to. You're being insufferable and a massive asshole for literally no reason, and you keep burying your head further and further up your own ass with each comment you post.

Trolls used to be good at it.

Ok if you think Sneak Attack Man is stupid then you are just a jealous bitch. Period.

And there's your problem: this isn't reddit. There are no awards in the fediverse, so you're trying too hard for literally nothing.

The fact that you care about fake votes and awards is actually incredibly telling about your character and personality.

The fact that you are still talking to me is telling about yours. Btw just because I care about something TODAY doesn't mean its my entire personality. It means that its today's cortisol addiction.
