I look at it like this, a lot of people that post on internet forums are complete and total **** ups in real life. We live in a country that is full of complete and total **** ups. We also live in a country where people are socialized to not think of themselves as a total **** up, but rationalize it as something else, albeit, they're depressed or oppressed or repressed or some such psychological idiocy where they can placate themselves into believing they're not really **** ups, and maybe if they talk enough **** online, some other idiot out there will think they're cool or something. I say "something" because I really don't know what anyone could be going for under such a premise. Albeit, I *love* to be a dick sometimes, and cause trouble, but at least I try to have a valid point when I'm doing it. I also enjoy good old fashioned rhetoric, but that only works for so long before you get called a d-bag or something. Why is douche censored on here? If they can say ******bag on national TV, what gives? Bueller? Anyone? So, yeah, back to my original point, people are ******* retards, and people like being retards on the internet, and since RS is one of the first search results on Google for "Star Wars Toys", it ends up being a magnet for the aforementioned phenotype.
So yeah, basically, if your life is ****** and unfufilling and you're a total **** up, that attitude follows you on to the internet. They need to do SOMETHING that makes them feel big in the pants. When success fails you in real life, get on a forum and declare being a carded collector makes you akin to Jesus.
