I think I have a copypasta fetish.
I've been lurking here for a while and I'm honestly not sure how to explain this without sounding completely insane, but whatever. I've been thinking about this for months and I want to put it into words somewhere.
I think I have a fetish for being turned into a copypasta.
Not just reading copypastas or finding them funny. I mean the actual idea of becoming one. The transformation itself is what gets me.
I don't know exactly when it started. At first I just thought copypastas were funny. You know the ones: completely absurd walls of text, bizarre phrasing, excessive repetition, random capitalization, nonsensical scenarios, and so much internet brainrot that you can barely understand what the original point was.
But eventually I started imagining what it would be like if that happened to me.
And I mean that quite literally.
Imagine starting out as a relatively normal person. Your thoughts are coherent, your sentences are grammatically correct, and there's still some semblance of dignity left. Then the copypastification begins.
First, your sentences start getting exaggerated. Your vocabulary becomes increasingly ridiculous, your punctuation gets distorted, your thoughts stretch into increasingly incomprehensible paragraphs. Your original personality is still technically there, but it's becoming harder and harder to recognize.
Then comes the repetition.
Phrases get copied and pasted everywhere. Random references, increasingly nonsensical anecdotes, bizarre declarations, excessive emojis, all-caps outbursts. Every available patch of empty space gets filled. You stop being a person expressing an opinion and start becoming an entire wall of internet text.
And somehow, that's the appealing part to me.
The idea of having my original personality completely buried under layers of ridiculous internet garbage. Being progressively less recognizable, less coherent, less capable of producing an original thought. Having every trace of whatever normal identity I started with swallowed by an endless, self-replicating block of text.
I especially like the idea of the transformation being gradual.
Not immediately becoming the finished product, but having stages. Looking at an earlier version of yourself and realizing how much more readable you used to be. Each subsequent version being longer, more repetitive, more absurd than the last.
There's something strangely compelling about the loss of control involved in that fantasy. You aren't just quoting a funny post or deliberately writing something stupid. You're being fundamentally rewritten into something that exists purely as an embodiment of copypasta.
And I don't mean that I want to be mocked or ridiculed by actual people. It's more about the transformation and the end result itself. The idea of becoming this completely ridiculous, overprocessed internet text creature.
I also find the contrast interesting. Starting with something relatively ordinary and gradually turning it into something so exaggerated that the original meaning is practically unrecognizable.
I know this probably sounds bizarre, especially on a board where people share these things ironically. But I'm being completely sincere.
Does anyone else understand the appeal of this particular kind of transformation, or am I genuinely alone here?
>be me
>normal person
>eventually become a paragraph with 47 quote blocks, 12 unnecessary anecdotes, 9 layers of irony and an incomprehensible amount of repeated text
I don't know why this appeals to me so much, but it does.
