Playing the idiot.

Shawn April 01, 2019 at 20:18 8150 views 22 comments
I feel as though not enough people do this enough. Over the past week or days, I've played the idiot wrt. to my topics about gender stereotypes. I've been told to go seek therapy, to post on Twitter, even to shut up.

It's funny because this stuff happens everywhere, on TV, radio shows, and so on. Yet, it's not tolerated here???

Is there any reason why people here would be offended by idiocy and such matters?

What's the difference between playing the idiot and trolling?

A troll doesn't care about the truth, and idiot although stupid still cares about it.

You said you were 'playing the idiot' not that you were an idiot.

Well, isn't that the same thing? I mean if I authentically play the idiot, then that makes me one.

Christ on a bike, you're doing it to me now. I think I'll go back to talking to @S about Mars Bars.

I'll stop since it's insincere.

Carry on fellow Philosophyforum'tarians.

Reply to Baden If I paint a gherkin brown, and pretend that it authentically tastes like a Mars Bar, then is it okay if I murder Wallows in his sleep?

I don't know who you are and whether you really are a closet sociopath; but, seek therapy for heaven's sake! Lul.

The funny thing is, I don't know whether I really am a closet sociopath either. But as soon as I get permission to murder you, I promise I'll seek therapy.

Pinky promise.
