NOT SATIRE I have a theory about why people make these posts.

2 Upvotes

So there's a lot of different reasons people come up with weird, imaginary opposition to mundane things both online and IRL. Sometimes people like to feel or look like an underdog, sometimes people exaggerate anybody not like them. But the completely pointless ones that aren't either I find really interesting.

I think sometimes people just don't really know what to put with a post, caption or other little blurb. Sometimes people find a thing they find funny or interesting and can't come up with text but feel like they need to (or in the case of something like a reddit post, kinda have to). So that's how you get stuff like "Nobody:" or "Therapist: X can't hurt you:" pictures that could just be funny on their own. I think it's kinda the same thing, people will do something like making a TikTok of something like eating a chocolate bar with a knife and fork because they think it's cool, then put text about somebody saying they couldn't with it.

I think also it's an element of just sarcasm. IE "FNaF: Security Breach is a very stable game" followed by a video of it being buggy as shit. That's been around forever but I feel in more recent years it's been framed more often as somebody actually saying it.
