If you don't believe this then you are an absolute pleb who can't even defend their own taste and should stop posting immediately.

The OP has been making this thread for almost a year and by now I’ve given up on trying to figure out who’s baiting and who’s not because eventually I learn that even the most outrageous statements on this site are made by people who genuinely believe the bullshit that they spew. It’s like how we had the oxford fag giving head to the school just for existing.

I don't get why this copypasta makes people so butthurt. There's nothing even remotely controversial by it. Does someone keep linking to it in the /tg/ rejects general?
