I'm generally a downer, it's a symptom on one's place in society.
The world is an unbiased entity that for some really is bad. For me, not really, I just play it up.
The novel of the modern hipster loser if a loosely dressed up autobiography with the pretense of off-beat coolness and chock full of lies.
The love intrest is usually a dork but not in a weird kind of way adorable girl that all beta hipsters would love to procreate with on the basis that she's weird enough to be a best friend(cause you have none) but also the sensual goddess you crave.

Constantly jumping to conclusions, but I really do enjoy your enthusiasm.

There is no love, as far as I'm concerned there is only this lone man.

Who is both charming and dorky.

Going for that brutally honest polarizing stance that the critics will have a ball over then?

This is still 4chan, sir.

I realize that this place is no /b/, but even /mu/ is filled to the brim with those who suffer from aspergers. Thankfully this usually gives them some sort of "powers", as I joked. Hopefully these powers would give me my answer.

Also, fuck your mom.

You've stumbled into a region in cyberspace where being labelled with asperger's syndrome is not a term of endearment. The thing you ought to do is graciously accept fault for the faux pas, apologize and move along.

>> No.2272701

>>2272655


I'm not trying to be endearing, faggot tits. I'm simply using my knowledge that asspies plague this website, but at the very least I can use them to my advantage...though again...it's mostly a joke, nigger kike baby rapist.

Lastly, however I'm conducting myself, there would be no reason to move along, you pseudo-intellectual beta neckbeard.

Now, back to the topic at hand...

Some of you seem quite pleased with the word adorkable, and I should have assumed this seeing as it's been a popular marketing strategy being used on the masses for at least 7 years, but it is my belief that you're just barfing up a buzzword at me without much actual thought...

See...let's break apart Adorkable...

In it you obviously have dork and adorable. Adorable obviously has adore in it. Now, let's see if charm and adore are anywhere near the same thing...(I assume you already know that that they're not)

Actually, without further enthusiasm I don't wish to continue this long winded post, especially since it will mostly be me talking about points I only hope you can reach without my assistance.

Also, dork is a fairly shitty word of description. Could this really be some of the problem?

Fucking linguistics...

yeah, but it also has a style that i most closely associate with cupcakes. also, the specific image of unchained masculinity it's endorsing is interesting. it's, like, liquor commercial masculinity, or something. it's televisions' version of what constitutes cool masculinity. its fucking weird.
