Why is "Gabe follower" a loser alias?

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

Replace "Gabe" with "Taylor." Celebrity worship is always lame. I can't imagine being so obsessed with anyone that I'd make a social media account about them

Why someone becomes a follower of GabeN?

I know and your reply still does not answer my question.

[–] Flyberius@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

The answer is plain to those with the eyes to see it... Or something.

[–] thingsiplay@lemmy.ml -2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't get it. What's wrong with it? If it is that clear, could you explain it to me?

[–] Flyberius@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There's nothing to explain. I guess the idea of someone who just follows Gabe Newell is funny and could be interpreted as lame. It's not that deep.

[–] thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

But that still does not answer my question as to why that is "lame" (or in other words "loser"). So in this entire conversation and reply chain, you just wasted my time? If you don't gonna answer the question, why do you keep these "lame" replies then? I just asked a simple question, didn't I? And if it is relaly obvious and easy to see, how does it come you can't explain it? Seems like a paradox to me.

why would you be a follower of a billionaire?... that's the lame part.

[–] thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

For news? Is this a joke or what is this?

[–] Flyberius@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Christ... You should learn to disengage.

[–] thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You should also learn to disengage if you have no answer and nothing to add to the discussion.

So you troll and waste time then... alright.

[–] Flyberius@hexbear.net 1 points 1 day ago

Yeah, scold me, I love it.

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, you tell em! Sitting in the corner of your bedroom facing the corner while someone you met on craigslist has sex with your partner is something winners do too! You can't just call someone a loser for having their lunch money stolen and wearing a t-shirt with their bullies name on it!

Remember 2012?? Bacon narwhal! Le steam sale epic! I love Gabe! I love billionaires!
