For
most normal people in this day and age, television is their main form
of entertainment. Most people watch television initially because they
want to watch certain shows about certain topics, but as they keep
watching they learn about all the celebrities who appear in these shows.
Before they know it, people start following the lives of these
celebrities, even though they're probably not really interested. They
may even start watching stupid celebrity gossip TV shows and reading
tabloids, all the while claiming that they don't care about the silly
crap. But then, when someone shows up who doesn't know that famous
comedian X was dating actress Y, it's a cultural faux pas.
Now
for us /jp/ers, 4chan is our main source of entertainment. After hanging
out here for a long time, a lot of us start to keep track of tripfags
even though we think that tripfags are dumb. Some of us may even go as
far as to read their blogs, formsprings, etc., all the while claiming we
don't care about their bullshit. But then, when someone comes along who
doesn't know White Ren's tripcode, we call him a newfag and tell him to
get out of /jp/. |
