You are all the perfect case of Poe's Law. Poe's Law is that, unless it is made obvious, it is impossible to tell a parody from a genuine article.

In layman's turns, You can't tell the difference between someone mocking a Christian fundamentalist and an actual Christian fundamentalist on the internet, unless the one who's mocking them makes the sarcasm apparent.

Too Long; Did not Read! You fell for it.

So, either:
A.) You were serious about your other thread
OR
B.) You're trolling now.
Which is it?

I was making a parody response to the recent wave of Shrek threads, as well as lightly poking hardcore fanboyism of any kind.

I didn't make it obvious I wasn't being entirely serious, so you all assumed I was serious.

I could tell it was a parody. The majority of us could.

It's called playing along.

Honestly, I wouldn't have too much faith in Plaza, but I'll give credit to a few users who gave the correct response.

As soon as I posted "I don't want to be a fgt" on HanShotFirst's thread, everyone started to say the same thing.

No, we did not take your post seriously. What's irritating is that there has been so many of those threads recently. How did you miss that?

So I take it you all just took the bait then.

I knew you weren't being serious, I just like the word 'faggot'. Bundles of sticks, if you were wondering.

In case it got lost on you.

>Be Me was an obvious parody thread. The format and content alone, based on my own history on these forums, made it a dead giveaway I was joking.

This thread, much more in line with my usual content, and much more serious on the surface, wasn't actually serious.

I wanted to see if you guys were actually suspectible to the law, by saying you guys fell under the law in an obvious parody thread.
