Surtur Derangement Syndrome
So it's no secret that I'm more aligned with Surtur politically than his opposition, so you could say I'm not really a neutral unbiased party.
Nevertheless, Surtur has mentioned Surtur derangement syndrome and I used to think that was an mischaracterization.
What I used see typically is Surtur or one of his opposition posting something, one of them responding, and it quickly devolving into a 1v1 slap fight going on for several pages that I just couldn't be ****ed to read through. So it seemed more or less even.
Now however, what I see is several posters following Surtur to any thread he goes on (ie. Bashar, Putinbot, Quanchi, and possibly Robtard though not really to nearly the same extent as the others), and one of them would start posting shit like "incel!" "manbaby!" and posting the pacifier emoji alongside other stuff and going "oh look at Surtur being a ***** again" or some such shit. After that point the others would join in and turn the whole thread into a self-congratulatory jerk over how much they hate Surtur. It's honestly pretty pathetic.
As a consequence of this the quality of threads on here has declined rapidly as most of them turn into these weird Surtur hate circle jerks that don't really have any conversational substance to them relating to the topic the thread was made for. It's much more difficult to find the posts of people on these threads who are actually contributing in a meaningful way when you have to sift through several pages of bullshit to find them.
