This started out as a post to this thread, but then it got long and hijacky, so presto, it’s a whole new thread.
So at my flat we have a computer in the same space as the TV, couches etc. Normally that’s fine. The connection is painfully slow at the best of times, so mostly it just sits there, gathering dust.
Tonight, I’ve run out of things to do, so online I go. Not two meters away from me two of my flatmates are sprawled on the couches, playing Final Fantasy something.
And here is my rant, directed at flatmate x, who we’ll call Anna.
Shut up. Stop giggling. Calling your character ‘cuntface’ is NOT funny. No really, it’s not.
That’s why I’m not laughing.
When you named your character and giggled for five minutes, I didn’t laugh. Because it is isn’t funny.
When the dialogue went “Hi CuntFace”, and you laughed again, I didn’t laugh. Why? Because it isn’t funny.
When you looked over at me and said ‘manx, I’ve named my character CuntFace!’ and I still didn’t laugh, it was because. It. Is. Not. Funny.
Maybe I’m just in a bad mood. Maybe having lived with two younger brothers deadened my ability to find this shit funny. Maybe you’re just an idiot. Because CuntFace isn’t funny. It isn’t a funny word. It doesn’t make you look clever, or particularly amusing. It makes me want to leave the room. You have been playing (badly) for almost an hour now, and you still giggle madly every single time someone addresses your character. Get over it already!
