Support NeoGAF

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Yes, another Cracked article. I thought it was interesting cause I think I've seen at least three out of the four types here on GAF at some point or another.

http://www.cracked.com/blog/4-unhealthy-mentalities-internet-turned-into-movements/

4. Drunk Driving Advocates
3. Men Who Despise Women
2. Gang Stalking Victims
1. Cheaters Seek Cheaters

The Gang Stalking Victims one is weird. I hadn't really heard of that.

 

[blame space]

militant atheists

 

[Razek]

Anyone who falls under number 4 should have their license taken away.

 

[Trouble]

militant atheists

That's not a real thing. Outspoken is not the same thing as militant.

 

[kaioshade]

With the way things have been recently, im surprised 3 isnt reversed.

 

[danwarb]

militant atheists

I don't know what that is.

 

[coldvein]

hahaha.. drunk driving enthusiasts.

 

[metalslimer]

Just go into the Breaking Bad thread to see 3 in action week after week

[Baraka in the White House]

Kind of surprised the, "Support mutlimillion dollar business's right to free speech" movement wasn't included.

 

[Choke on the Magic]

Where's GAF mentality?

1:33 is insane

i can't even figure out what happens

 

[JohnDoe]

1 way to spot a Cracked article:
The headline starts with a number.
On topic:
The internet has unhealthy movements for everything ranging from racism to drunk driving or cheating. It just depends on where you go.
But the one I see the most on the internet is definitely #3. Like even here there was a dude in the dating thread complaining about how unfair and superficial the women in the dating scene are towards men.

 

[fredrancour]

I was expecting pro anorexia and fat acceptance to get lumped into one list item. Every single bit of fat acceptance stuff that pops up on the internet goes well beyond "get people to be ok with not looking like models/celebrities/porn stars" and is just justifying an unhealthy lifestyle.

 

[Quackula]

Suprised pro-ana isn't there

 

[gblues]

Heh, not surprised to see this article posted here. The first thing I thought when I read #4: "There's a defense force for everything."

 

[Choke on the Magic]

I don't understand wtf I just watched.

 

[Broder Salsa]

I'm so confused with gang stalking.

Also this list was pretty tame, could think of a lot worse things that the internet has started movements about.

please tell me that this is an elaborate joke

1. Cheaters Seek Cheaters

With like nearly half of marriages ending up in divorces, I'm not surprised those kind of heart-broken people wanting revenge or destroying other people's lives.

WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[blame space]

I don't know what that is.

just pretend i said reddit.com

Where are Norma Lawrence and Jane?

Norma is the TI in this video. Jane was a highly reputable, vocal and well liked Canadian journalist and also a TI.

Both worked together, tirelessly to bring the problem of gangstalking to the public's awareness, through sites like Catch.ca etc.

They, along with a few other TI's, provided enormous proof for what was to be legal history, in finally outting, identifying and bringing to justice the government and associated agencies responsible for their stalking and other crimes (human experimentation and mind control).

But, as the case was due to go to court a bizarre series of incidents occurred. The lawyers stepped down, the evidence was tampered with, witnesses were scared off, in what was an unprecedented legal panic to destroy this case before it could ever be heard.


Gangstalking, human experimentation, DEW, Ritual abuse... the heinous crimes committed in this world are endless but very much mindless and wholly unwarranted....

May God have mercy on us all

 

[Uncle]

Suprised pro-ana isn't there

It's linked to in the introduction. Don't know why it isn't on the list. Maybe they felt that there was movement for it before the internet. Like racism.

 

[Bombadil]

Gangstalking seems to stem from a very real psychological disorder. We should be pitying those people.

what the hell lol. Never heard of this stuff.

 

[Count Dookkake]

#1 is a bit flawed.

The appeal of a married lover is that it is in their best interest to keep it quiet.

 

[bjork]

There's way more than 4 out there, that's for sure.

 

[dinazimmerman]

5. "Modern Monetary Theory" a.k.a. empty vessel's new religion

This isn't even understandably crazy.

 

[The Awesomest]

Half-expected Furry-ness to be included

 

[blame space]

i am 100% positive that i am being gangstalked

 

[joe2187]

I don't understand wtf I just watched.

The guy is insane and believes old ladies and men are watching his every movements, every one is suspect.

 

[CHEEZMO™]

Are there lots of people who pay no attention to you when you're out and about?

 

[Shig]

No Bronies?

 

[Quackula]

So do guys in #2 believe they're in an IRL Truman Show scenario or something?

 

[Bombadil]

"Look at these people. All of their attentions are strategically turned away from me. Something sinister is at play here."

 

[CHEEZMO™]

Huh, this is actually a thing.

 

[Particle Physicist]

Gangstalking seems to stem from a very real psychological disorder. We should be pitying those people.

Could be paranoid schizophrenia. Those delusions tend to be common.

 

[BertramCooper]

The anti-vaccine movement should be on there.

Though Oprah giving Jenny McCarthy a soapbox is probably as much to blame.

At first I thought he was the obliviosuly planned victim of some elaborate insurance fraud. Then I scrolled down and realised that he's an idiot

 

[siddx]

those four types of people are what make the internet great.

 

[Bombadil]

There are milder disorders involving paranoia that are not full-blown schizophrenia.

 

[Angry Grimace]

There is no secret cult of Drunk Driving advocates. The reason why people (like this article) claim there is is because if someone suggests a driver was not "legally impaired" everyone takes the extreme opposite opposite opinion and calls them a "drunk driving advocate."

 

[LuffyZoro]

No Bronies?

Not nearly as crazy as these people, but they are linked in the intro.

 

[Snuggles]

By saying this, you are now a drunk driving advocate. Someone somewhere just put you on a list.

Sounds like parts of GAF.

 

[astroturfing]

took me a while to figure out what the hell that gangstalking is about.

so weird. i guess.. schizophrenia or something?

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Suprised pro-ana isn't there

It is, read the article.

 

[Angry Grimace]

One time, my friend got a DUI and blew a .03 and I tried to help him get out of it. I would be willing to put money that someone on the internet/GAF now thinks I'm "scum" or should have my license revoked, etc.
