Caveat Emptor TG


To say that James had virtually no real-life friends whatsoever could hardly be considered an overstatement.

His “life” and “hobbies” largely resembled those of any personal disappointment of a human being from among the younger generations growing up in the first two decades of the 21st century: video games, hentai, 4chan, reddit, literal 10-hour anime torrent marathons; seemingly no sense of personal responsibility, living with his parents instead of either moving out of the house or going to college at 18, a lousy part-time cashier job, mountains upon mountains of empty Doritos bags overflowing from the trash bin in his bedroom?the list goes on. If there was one lucky thing about him, it was that he was one of those people who, because of genetics or some other inconceivable sorcery, seemingly never got fat no matter what or how much he ate or how little he exercised?doubtlessly this fact was capable of doing relatively little to discourage his continued idleness and hedonism.

If he wasn’t busy squandering his disposable minimum-wage income on junk food, dakimakuras, or “valuable/limited edition” CS:GO weapon skins, James was usually either watching some anime series he wasn’t even interested in just so he could later rant about how terrible it was on /a/, or was spending literally hours on 4chan busying himself in these follow-up rants or otherwise lurking in some other deep, dark hole of the site such as /pol/, /b/, /s4s/, /v/, /int/, /d/?objectively any of the really popular boards more generally.

As far as it concerned James the world did not extend far beyond his own PC monitor, and doing things such as trolling and quite literally “shitposting” “ironically” and getting even just a personal giggle out of its sheer, deliberate stupidity held more meaning to him in life any actually intelligent discussion. James fluently spoke the e-language of greentexting, dank memes, smug anime girl reaction images, roll threads, thrice-overdone copypastas, and basal use of the word “cuck” as an insult on the most arbitrary of terms.

James’ story, though, is fairly short, and it was, ironically, through the very same daily rituals with which he had always been so familiar that his own world suddenly changed forever, all due to yet another seemingly inconspicuous copypasta?and there are indications that he was not alone in being affected by it.
