I seriously don't get what's fun about this nihilism and gay-shaming.

    It's just a running joke for greentexts to call them "fake and gay", which became having to come up with some justification to attach both labels to the story instead of just saying it is. This is completely regardless of what the greentext actually consists of.

    The more you have to stretch to make the labels fit, the funnier it is.

    Yeah, and I find it funny precisely because of the stretching to make the labels — it makes it feel like it's making fun of people who would unironically call things fake and gay in a manner that was nihilistic and homophobic.

    It's similar to how I hate the "git gud" gatekeeping that can be quite prominent amongst fans of games like Dark Souls. However, I take great joy in saying "git gud" in a context where it's patently absurd, like when my housemate arrives home completely drenched from torrential rain. It turns the joke back on the gatekeepy rhetoric

    I used to behave this way, but people took me seriously every time. Like saying Veterans should die off, because they are no longer of use (as criticism to our way of seeing humans as expendable) and I became very hated for this.

    Genuine question.

    Can you see how that is not an obvious absurdist extreme and just sounds like an extreme position that would upset people?

    I was not an adult, and rather troubled. I coped in very poor ways.

    Ok. Well recognition is a huge hill to overcome. But coping with humor isn't always bad, communication is a skill that comes with and requires practice.
    I hope you find out how to be you while not feeling like you are pushing people away.

    At this point, I don't even have a choice. I explicitly limited myself to not making new friends, no dating, no sex, and very limited interaction outside of a certain framework. Not only can I not trust myself with humor and reasoning, but humans have also become way too predatory for my taste as of late, so I want to limit my interaction with them in general (I'm working towards having my own food, water, repairing my own stuff, it's all planned).

    I deleted PayPal after it's privacy issue, and I have local LLM's on my devices. I am also not buying new devices anymore (Have a 2013 Laptop, a new phone and tablet).

    It's a mixture of humans don't deserve me, and I don't (and can't) deserve humans. It's also a final decision, I had way too many negative experiences throughout the years, including getting screwed out of medical assistance that I legally have a right to, and being used. So, I am 100% done, we are simply incompatible.
