I'm not a writer and I make up shit all the time on anonymous and semi anonymous comment threads. It depends on my mood and the atmosphere of the thread. I avoid it here because I have some sense that this is an "adult" place to be where common sense opsec is reasonable but I don't have to invent anything to fit in or comment. On reddit or other such things though, hell yeah I'll drink a pitcher of Miller Lite while watching a football game and shitpost the devil's advocate or contrarian position under a pseudonym with no attribution. I justify it by calling it social research. |

So what exactly seems inauthentic about the top story on the forum? Who would make that up and why?
"It's the internet lol everything is made up" is, frankly, a bit edgelord as a rationale.
If you want made up look at the vote counts for any picture with a coke bottle or a UPS truck in it.
