To this effect, the tendency of various many folks in here to immediately dismiss anyone with an anime avatar, or considering those who like Japanese-related stuff as "weabo" or "weirdo".
People who act all high and mighty like that irks me.

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
I guess just people who I've never seen have more than one sentence in their posts. Its more often than not total inanity, too.
And just sociopathy in general, when you get the vibe that someone can't get enough of being anonymously shitty to people.

It's funny. people know that it bugs people in real life, so they use it on the net to "put people in their place" in a virtual online environment.

The "bias" posts
I'm an expert
Formerly worldrevolution. The only reason I am nice to anyone else is to avoid being banned.
Man.. I barely going on gaming side now but I just hopped into that not hyped for GTA5 thread, read a very decent op that was not trying to click bait or anything, and then saw a ton of "dont care you dont care" and "wow youre so cool for not liking a popular game"..gah..fuck..if I was a mod I'd nuke everyone in that thread. Next time someone makes a "I'm so excited for xxx game" thread I'm just gonna post "I don't care that you care" and "ok" just to see what happens.
Usual GAF hype stupidity. Apparently if you're not interested by a game everyone wants, you're trolling or trying to be cool.
It pisses me off when non sales threads turn into sales threads. Basically every Wii U or Vita thread. I don't mind sales discussion in the slightest (in fact I take part in these discussions often) but when there's a thread about Vita firmware update and it turns into sales talk it makes me so mad.
It's even worse when there's a thread like "DKC Tropical Freeze announced" is made and everyone talks about how the game won't save the Wii U. Fuck off, I just want to discuss the game, I don't give a shit if it won't save the Wii U.
Oh, and when there's a new thread about games like TW101, Fuse, or Lost Planet 3, instead of talking about the game we talk about how the game is gonna bomb so hard. There's plenty of threads to talk about the sales potential of those games, but you shit up threads that are about new features or hype threads or whatever.

I hate this shit, along with the drive-by posts of people who only know the barest amount about the games but want to take another opportunity to shit on them (e.g., "Lost Planet 3/Spark lol lol, or "Still not buying Fuse after that art change 2 years ago", etc.)

The signature thing is kind of annoying, I guess, but it's not hurting anything. Most of these things aren't. I don't really get the rage, but I get real pissed off about unreadable sentences and bad punctuation, so I guess we all have our things.
The posts about the gaming side, though? Woo. Agree. It sucks, because there can be some great discussion, but half the posts are useless, baiting, fanboy defense, etc., and it just makes the actual discussions a pain to follow.
Not unique to here: calling anyone who disagrees with the mainstream about x in a thread about x an automatic troll. Troll in general gets overused, I think.
eta: OKAY OKAY I HAVE ONE: yay or nay?
IT'S YEA, MOTHERFUCKERS, YEA. IT'S YEA. Y-E-A. YEA.
now I sympathize with the vitriol. i'd forgotten. carry on.

Since this thread is 23 pages long, I assume it's been covered, but editing your post to quote a later post SUCKS.
"should of" and "could of" also annoy me to no end.
the funny thing is these errors tend to be made only by native english speakers. people who have learned english as a second (or beyond) language do not make these errors because "yay or nay" and "should of" do not make any sense.

To be honnest, there are tons of gta 5 threads already. If you want to express opinions like: "I'm not hype for gta 5", post in those threads. Especially there is already an "I'm not hype for gta 5" kind of thread which is not so old. Why didn't the person just post there instead of making a new thread? And if the person couldn't find the thread, he/she could've gone to the GTA 5 OT thread which always on the front page at the moment. Making a thread like that seems like seeking attention, and the way gaf - in general - deal with these types of thread is not pretty at all. The thread you mention serves as an example. Posting in existing threads could've resulted in a healthier discussion, as long as the poster isn't trolling around.
My opinion, if you want to share a thought about a topic and the thread that cover the topic is too old to revive, then you can make a new thread (which is why lttp/rttp thread exist).

It bothers me when people quote someone then just write "This.".

Reminds me of the billion broken Microsoft development discussion or article links posted to answer peoples support questions. MS must have changed their url format at some point and now there's a ton of developer support discussion that go like this:

I stated before that I hated people who complained about spoilers and beg for spoiler tags, but now I'm annoyed by posters who spoiler tag non-spoilers. It's like, get a fucking life. I should just automatically put those people on ignore, but I'm too lazy. It's just pointless though. Nothing under those spoiler tags is ever worth the effort of clicking on it anyway, so why even bother? The spoiler tag feature was the worst addition to this forum.
Boy, it would've been even more annoying if I'd decided to end my posts in "FIN." like I originally wanted to when I started on usenet. I got the idea from the french cartoons I watched growing up. Pink Panther and some toon about a shark and his pal ended their credits with "FIN." in capital letters. I always liked that, so I was going to end all my posts like that. Then I think "peace out" became a thing in the early-90s and...well...the rest is history.
Fuck yo script.PEACE.
I think I would like FIN better. I always read PEACE. like you're posting this comment and you're out. Screw whatever your response is.

You talking about calling someone salty if they're bitter or whatever? That's enjoying a general resurgence. Not outdated. Overused lately for sure, but not outdated.
Haha, sorry, you clearly don't follow the right crowds to hear it often.
Also, "salty" is far older than "rad", but also more recent with the way the FGC ran with it.

People who quote posts only to say "This." I don't know why, but it really irritates me. 
Also, people who say "I literally spit out my coffee/milk/beer/soup/cereal/oatmeal/grape/apple/orange juice all over my screen and keyboard while reading this" and the post they're talking about was nothing special.
Does this actually happen anyway? Do people really spit that much on their screen and keyboard when something slightly surprise/shock them on a forum? It never happens to me.

Also not a fan of "holy shit" when it comes to a tidbit about an upcoming system.
