Seriously. Tao Wang or whatever his fucking name is? He's the Milhouse of /lit/. He will never ever be a fucking meme, no matter how hard he tries.

He's also like the Candlejack of /lit/, insofar as I refuse to actually give his name correctly. Because that gives him the publicity he craves. So I'll just call him Fu Manchu since I've repressed his actual name, defensively.

tl;dr Is there a meme other than "she sucks/she's god"
Honestly what does that even mean? I'm not disagreeing because I really don't know what you're talking about. Is she really a meme anywhere? I thought it was just sort of that somebody invariably brings Atlas Shrugged up every 500 posts or so and it instantly polarizes half the people on the board.

I didn't condescend to define the word ''boredom'' for you, but it seems like you should refresh your understanding of its definition. It literally bores me, and that is a problem. ''hey guise tao lin actuarly comes in here lollol''' does not require refutation, does not inspire any distress, it is simply boring, just as all of your posts have been. it's remarkable. by using the picture over and over you are basically doing the tripfag thing so i took notice. you wanted individualized attention, and you're getting it.
