I can definitely see the appeal in making people fume out of their ears over some completely irrelevant thing you said on the internet that they can completely ignore but still choose not to.
People throwing tantrums in public and making clowns of themselves has always been funny.
Yes, they are to blame. The whole point of edgy humor is to imagine the person behind the screen fuming at the bait that you posted. By giving them what they want, you have become the punchline that they were seeking, hence encouraging them to continue posting bait and getting you outraged.
Yes, but they wouldn't be getting a free marketing campaign that draws more people to their communities and their ideology if it weren't for all these professional victims being outraged by them.
The difference is, if you stopped giving them attention, one of those two would also stop being a goatfucker, but people obviously want more things to be outraged about, not less.
He's (rightfully) calling you dishonest because, if a guy who posts on Facebook or Reddit did this, you wouldn't be saying "Facebook this X" or "Reddit did X", you would say "This guy did X". Yet, for some reason, when a person on 4chan does something, it's not "This guy did X", but rather "4chan did X".
If it wasn't an expectation, then it SHOULD have been. People are allowed to remember and record what you yell on the street, just like they are allowed to remember and record what you post on a public platform for anyone to see.
