Thanks! DId you actualy read the story though? I think you’ll recognize some of the things said in it! lol
Can I use your name for the next story I’m writing? Not exactly inspired by you, but it’s fun too! But I don’t want you to accuse me of being a troll or attacking you personally. :)

What? No. Why would I do that?
What the fuck?

You’re missing out, unless the concept isn’t your thing after all.
Your contempt for an account you cannot be bothered to block is highly amusing.

Curiosity got the best of me, and I skimmed one of them. This is psychotic. Who in God’s name writes a publication-length short story about their “enemies” on Lemmy, investing this much gleeful energy into portraying them as these weird little gremlins who are out to get them but can’t quite manage it because they are losers?
I only looked at one of them. I am, completely for serious, a little bit afraid to open up the others to see if they are all the same length as the one I looked at.
I’m looking at this guy in a whole new light at this point. I don’t block him because every so often I like to drop into his comments and say something to move the conversation in the politics arena back towards what I think is productive politics arena things, but at this point I am concerned for him. I’m not joking.

Friend, they don’t have to explain anything to you. Mental illness is fun, after all. Thanks!

Friend, I think you’re missing the point. The stories are a fun callback to pulpy horror and over-the-top writing from the 50’s and 60’s.
Nothing in them is to be taken seriously. Come on, the description for one says “Get ready, boils and ghouls, for a twisted tale of identity, deception, and a change of taste you won’t believe… until it’s too late!”
Do you not see the spirit that that’s written in?! Your reaction is hilarious to me! lol

You called him a troll. By that definition, he likes your attention. The choices are feed the troll and live with, maybe learn to enjoy the resulting walls of text, or Block them.
Sorry to remind you, there is no in-between. Even if he had some sort of aneurism/epiphany and suddenly wanted to break character to do things more to your liking, he would do so under a new username, or be laughed back into the role everyone has come to expect. Been There Done That.

joy. Wasn’t trying to engage with you, but I’ll live. I better be one of the bumbling villians, dammit.

Oh man, see" That’s the EXACT line my new story starts with. Ok, fine, just know that in my next story that you won’t read it’s about a guy with a very similar name to yours, but it’s not you.
And you know what? I totally get it if you’re not feeling up to diving into the first story. I mean, it’s only about the ever-so-fascinating shimmering thread between reality and unreality, cardboard bathtubs, insect existentialism, drugs, truth, justice, and the American way.
Oh wait, hold on—crap! That’s my next story, not the first.
Dammit, see what happens when a whole team of Russians (or wait, am I bot now? I keep forgetting the most current stuff people say about me), collecting our precious Russian Bitcoinz, sharing one account to spread propaganda and tear apart the very fabric of America through Lemmy posts? Ugh. So complicated keeping this huge propaganda machine going is tough!
