GAF phenomena you don't get

Whenever a girl posts, all eyes turn to her post - She's just a person. If a girl writes a post, the next 10-15 posts will be quoting her and I guarantee more than half of them will have ;) or ;P faces. Yes, its nice to have female members but holy shit. If a girl is more outlandish, its usually more than 15 posts.
It's true.. but there's a difference between a regular post and an attention whoring post. Tee hee *makes cyoote powty face*

While not really phenominon:
1- Whoever said Olimario dead on. It's like his whole existence is a joke character. He's the only person on any message board ever that I've seriously contemplated about putting on ignore, but comedy and all that...
2- PEACE.
 
the ones i don't get and stay out of (99.99% of the time) are the religious attack threads, where users constantly bash it.

Ok, so they *are* funny. :lol Still, I know what he means. People are obsessed.
 
I'm not exactly sure why people get drunk and then immediately rush to Gaming-Age to tell everyone about it.

Congratulations! You're liquored up, barely coherent, and posting on a message board.
 
drinking is cool. GAFfers desperately seek validation and acceptance of the rest of the forum. I am drinking = I am drinking coolness and becoming cool myself.

I don't understand the general consensus that Nintendo fans are all politcally affiliated with the right.

It's bullshit. Just because Nintendo is a financially conservative company does not mean all nintendo employees and fans are political conservatives (yes, I've heard this argument before). And I know there's a lot of Nintendo fans at gaf who happen to be republicans (Olimario, Link, etc... I happen to be democratic, and am pretty damn liberal in my beliefs). But just because there's somewhat of a correlation at GAF that says Nintendo fans are republicans doesn't mean it's a universal truth.
I once posted something like that and got a ton of lefty/Nintendo replies. I have that list of the "Coalition of the Sane" saved around here somewhere. :)

All it takes is a bit of repetition and luck for something completely crazy to stay in mind.

Why is it so hard NOT to respond when someone rightfully mocks the DS?
It's easier to not respond than to respond, but even at a response rate of only 2% among 100 people, the apparent return on investment is great.
 
Threads beeing about games bought withing the last few months and people posting lists that are 50+ games strong. Im not saying its bad or anything, it's not, people are free to do as they choose. Im curious if they (You?) play even 50% of them. Maybe im subconsciously jealous?

For me, I post them to see how much money I had to waste. Since there was an appropriate thread, I would post it. Its not really a dick wagging contest as far as I know.

I dont get the hate against Oli

He's not that bad.

bash what?

Religion. I would post up the American hate speech but all I'd get is responses on how its the government. Well, make the differentiation. I know if I were to talk shit about Canada, Australia, or Europe, I wouldn't last in this forum.
