Alright so I’ve been watching my latest video closely and the stats on the website. I’m thrilled that people are actually checking out the script as well as the blog, and I’m grateful for the attention it has received.
I am amazed, however, at the segment of people out there who watch my videos simply to look for ammunition. These Internet Guerrilla Warfare conscripts. People in that “I found 4chan three months ago and it’s fucking AWESOME” pupa stage who have impossibly high standards for whatever face happens to be on their screen. A short fuse on a long stick of dynamite, combing the internet for angsty 15 year olds and everyday people who get more than the normal amount of attention.
The kid in the back of the classroom with ADHD and a fresh load in their diapers. “LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME!” with a shiny new ‘puter, a high speed internet connection, and an elitist sense that they are better than you. Emo 2.0, the Bipolar Chronicles. Hot Topic credit cards held securely in their double-chain wallets, they head back to their parents house to continue their personal, epic conquest of all that is teh intarwebs.
The words dig in. The equivalent of a botfly infection, driving you mad until you doubt everything about yourself from your opinions to what you once held as talents.
All you can do is grit your teeth and deal with it. That, and write blogs about it.

Well said, well said! I specifically liked the remark about the fresh load in their diapers. It was quite disturbing to imagine.
huh? lol where can I see the bullet wholes?
Yeah, 4chan is like a teen movie. You can attempt to give it a chance but have to expect a bunch of rowdy kids in the theater. Ill admit ive given you some criticism but i think it was constructive… mostly.
anyway please dont lose interest in your script idea because i want to try it and i think i can do a relatively good job with it. it just takes a few days for my friends and i to get organized.
What is that 4chan stuff? I’ve had countless e-mails about it, I shrugged them off, but, now, I see it again, and I’m forced to wonder, what is 4chan?
fuck those emo 2.0s!!!
good point man, i totally agree
That’s You Tube for you. A bunch of attention-whore assholes.
I think Abe Lincoln once said “’tis better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.”
Man, Ben, you really enjoy alienating the age ranges of 12-15 as immature. Bringing them up simply when you don’t like something, or to imply that because you don’t like it, it MUST only be cool to those who haven’t yet been kicked out of their houses by mom and dad. To be honest, I’ve met far more mature children ranging through those ages, than I have of adults my own age. I’ve found the more one assumes someone of a younger age is less mature, or stupider than them simply because mommy pushed them through the birth canal a few years after themselves, they can actually become more immature themselves. In fact, a majority of the people I’ve met who’ve said “Fuck it, this site is for 14 year olds!” were usually less mature than the 14 year olds they were trying to play off as juvenile. Funny how I read that blog post in it’s entirety, but that’s what stood out at me.
Also, your description of a 15 year old teenager (Emo 2.0, the Bipolar Chronicles. Hot Topic credit cards held securely in their double-chain wallets, they head back to their parents house to continue their personal, epic conquest of all that is teh intarwebs.) really reminds me of how you’ve described yourself as a teenager. Slicing your arm up and being forced into a mental hospital by Papa Going, a nice, big chain attached to your wallet. You still have that chain, too. ;)
Besides, I think you have higher expectations for yourself than anyone else that watches you does. If you didn’t, people getting upset at you for not being godly wouldn’t get to you as much, if at all.
Elizabeth, I think Abe said it better, like in some of Boh3m3′s openings. I know it’s bad and just plain evil to some, but it was so out of nowhere it was funny.
Emo 2.0 still has a long way to go to reach normal. Why even listen to them. It seems you have a fairly recent patch to your Emodar so you can tell the bullshit, and the honesty.
Just don’t worry about those loser punks.
Keep ‘em comin!

RE: Judge Only If YOU Want To Be Judged
You didn’t notice that the only person that was said to be around that age group (14-16 ish) is the TARGET, and not the people I am referring to.
Good analysis though. Just need to be a little less assuming.
You’re right Ben, I apologize. I reread it a couple of times, and noticed I did, in fact, misunderstand (It’s not as though it’s difficult to take it the wrong way). But let’s be honest, you have made accusations like that before.
I think the combination of a fever and being cooped up inside of my house for three days is making me a bit cranky. Ah well, off the to medicine cabinet it is!
