>someone makes thread about shit nobody cares about
>respond with "i don't care", "nobody cares", etc.
>OP responds with "you cared enough to reply"


Apart from how violently stupid that is... I mean, we have two strings of "care" going on.

One string of care is concerned with letting the OP know my thoughts about his or her thread.
Then there's another string of care which would contain all the cares I'd have reserved for the subject of the thread itself—Which there exist none of.

The OP is trying to merge these two strings together, when it doesn't make any sense. You could do that with virtually anything. If someone asks me what they should wear for their... whatever, a party or something, my default response is going to be "I don't care". Because I really don't. But do I somehow magically care just because I cared to respond to this person's query?

No. Of course not.
So... what the fuck.

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.
Been wondering the same.

"In case of fire, choose Charmander"
I'm guessing it was a Mad Max thread. He always says that when you say you don't care.

It was actually Kiyowhatever. He said it to challengerX, and I hate that fucktard, so you know something's wrong if I'm defending him.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.
Yeah I never understood that either. If I tell someone I don't care it's because I literally don't care at all, replying doesn't mean shit faggot

Ah. On another note, how are you liking Sep7agon so far?

Even if I don't really care about the topic itself, I might still respond for the heck of it.

Hmm...
Your two scenarios are a little different. If someone asks you, specifically, what they should wear for a party, then they are waiting for your response. On a public forum, the question is usually asked in general, to no specific individual, and so there isn't any expectation for you to reply.

Nobody cares OP
See, this statement is partially incorrect just because we have evidence to suggest that at least a handful of users do. If you said, "I don't care", I'd believe you.

Completely agree with the OP.

When the lack of caring about the topic reaches some sort of apex, it's usually usurped by a desire to point out the utter pointlessness/stupidity of the thread.

Fair enough. A person asks a group of people, to no one in particular, what he or she should wear. One person responds with, "I don't care". Maybe he wouldn't say it precisely like that in that scenario, but you know what I mean.

And I know the scenario is still different because it's in real life, but that's sort of my whole point. You'd never say, "Then why'd you respond?" in real life. That's just silly. They obviously just don't care, and responding doesn't mean you do care. Why is it different in forums?

I don't see what's wrong with that logic. Don't give a fuck? Then stay the fuck away. If you're not adding to the thread, don't bother. No one cares about some random person not caring, it only impedes discussion and no one gets happier by it.

You wouldn't be able to determine the level of care if they simply didn't post in the thread. Not every thread, which a taken individual finds pointless, is commented in. It's only those we seem to breach the lowest level of decency or worth expected.

It depends on the topic of the thread. If it's spam or a really shit thread, it's okay to post "nobody cares". Otherwise, you need to shut the fuck up.

Ignoring the fact that you blatantly contradicted yourself (with your logic, you DO care about the opinions of those who don't care), I'm not sure you see the point.

No one needs your permission to post their opinion in any thread. It really doesn't matter if you don't care about their thoughts. They still have the right to post them.
It depends on the topic of the thread. If it's spam or a really shit thread, it's okay to post "nobody cares". Otherwise, you need to shut the fuck up.
But of course, that's entirely subjective.

You could just say, "I don't care that you don't care."

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
I guess it just shows it struck OP's nerve.


Saying "Nobody cares" still adds to the discussion factor, because you're telling OP there isn't any to begin with, and should never do said topic again because it's pointless


OP, who at this point is obviously hurt by this, tries a shit attempt at a comeback, which so far in the history of forums, the best comeback is "You cared enough to reply"...which is still shit.

I'm sorry if I came off as rude, the pain from my recent surgery can make me a bit cynical. Being on drugs doesn't help me being composed either.

What I meant was that others may care, and stating that you don't doesn't add much in terms of discussion value. Everybody do has the right to state their opinion though. Of course, that also makes other have the right to voice theirs over you commenting about not caring.
Trying to do it in the form of a silly comeback wouldn't be preferable, though.

In the end, different people care about different things, and have both different opinions and views on how to approach the opinions of others. We may not always understand the logic of other people's thoughts.

I yet again apologize for lashing out. I don't think I can add much more here.

I'd agree, but there's still no point in saying it. If nobody cares, nobody should reply and the topic will die. OP should take the hint that the community here doesn't have enough of an interest in said topic and not make it again, at least for a while.
If you don't care about it, why post in it to keep it alive that little bit longer?
