Topic: so i've been noticing a trend for a while now
squeegee started this discussion 11 years ago #41,206
on quite a few on the large aggregators (reddit, imgur, etc.) there's a thing people do where they kinda like pick a character name and then post accordingly. i don't know what the behavior is called, but like so this guy's name was
UnrelatedGif and the comment he posted was, of course, an unrelated gif. another one i've seen is uh, like, oh yeah, so he was called GrammerNazi and when i read his comment he was correcting grammar. my favorite was something like
IdrawYourComment and he posted an image of a doodle based on a persons comment. There's been tons more instances of people doing this, and usually it's like i read the comment and am like, what a Grammar Nazi and then notice the name and just lol.
so it's like you read the comment and the name just perfectly syncs because it's an intentional thing that people do.
anyway, like i said i don't know what you call it so i just call it "on the nose naming"
has anyone else got a favorite example of someone doing this?

why did you list imgur as its own site when in reality it's just a vehicle for reddit to have something resembling OC?

I can take personal credit for clones of GrammerNazi over these many years on the net.
They come at me with butt hurt over my there vs their or whom over who and when they c my sperling they go apeshit.
I end up winning every time by pulling out Shakespeare and Mark Twain as well as the billions of messages on chat n texting
idk y they continue to rag on me

yeah, but there's another thing people are doing too but i'm not describing it well becuase i'm not finding good examples. like the name "iTakeThingsOutOfContext" takes things out of context. so you read the out of context post and are like, who is this fool... oh. touche.

Sharks could injure you or even kill you but the people stalking you who also hate you, they will hurt you in ways that even suicide can't repair. So i guess i mean is that be careful.
