6 new personality disorders caused by the interwebz
    #10598025 - 06/30/09 02:09 PM (14 years, 8 months ago)

Pretty interesting read. They even make a reference to ripper in the article, check the #1 disorder. And it definitely fits a majority of the members on this site!

Quote:

#6 Online Intermittent Explosive Disorder (a.k.a. The Thin-Skinned Rage-o-holic)

Like serial killers, these people seem pretty normal at first. For hours or even days, they'll carry on funny, charming conversations in a forum or comment section. But then something, anything, sets him off and he devolves into a tantrum that would make Christian Bale say, "Dude, calm down! Jesus."

In Real Life it's Called...

Intermittent Explosive Disorder.

Out in the real world, IED is an impulse control disorder that can make a person act like their entire family has been murdered just because Burger King forgot to put their fries in the bag. They're prone to fits of uncontrollable rage in situations that don't call for it.


This guy just found out the movie he wanted to go to is sold out.

And while it only affects around six percent of people in real life, on the Internet you run into one of these in almost every comment section. And nothing sets them off like a mild hit to their ego:

IED Guy: Hey guys I made this Photoshop, can I get some constructive criticism?
Normal poster: You might want to cut six or seven of the lens flares.
IED Guy: FUCK YOU YOU COMMUNIST FUCKTARD. I HAVE WON AWARDS FOR MY WORK WHILE YOU WERE BUSY JERKING OFF IN YOUR PARENTS BASEMENT AND PLAYING DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS-

(This continues for 2,000 words or so).

A simultaneously hilarious and disturbing example of this made internet headlines in mid-June, when somebody emailed a congressman's office and accidentally referred to his assistant Elizabeth as "Liz," prompting an explosion of 19 furious emails in which Elizabeth demanded that she be called by her full name.

I can find examples all over the shroomery of each of 'em.

I myself apply to #2.Low Cyber Self-Esteem (a.k.a. The Guy Who Everyone Hates but Who Never Leaves) in OTD. :tongue:

Oh, I just assumed it was ripper, I haven't heard of too many stories where people OD'd on webcam and whatever else the article mentioned.

i havent seen any besides that and another,thats why i thought it might be him

they only show the last few minutes way after he'd died but it said it was the one where he was coaxed to do it in a chat room and that part  had been editted

there was another one where a young chick slits her arms in the bathtub on cam and its pretty intense because she doesnt say a word and nicks her viens and it squirts on the tiles and the bath turns deep red but could be fake,dunno,fucked up none the less

I should have taken offense to "internet aspergers" but hey, most people are dicks, and it's a pretty dick thing to say people who are dicks have internetz autism.

There's a difference between intentionally being an arsehole for the lulz, and inadvently upsetting people (especially close friends) because you can't figure out how you're supposed to respond or something you think is no big deal is totally the wrong thing to do.
