其實係唔係prank已經唔重要
當你張irony push到咁既地步
prank已經失去左意思
其實用"玩"呢個字都唔係咁洽當
我覺得玩只係一種facade
實則上背後係一種power struggle
如果你張memes睇成係一種postmodern language既話
咁佢地營造緊既一個political device會係一種effective但又好危險既野
joke 本身意味住唔認真, 俾人一種玩世不恭既感覺
if I joke, that means I don't take it seriously, so you can't hold me accountable; if you take the joke too seriously, then you're too thick in the skull to be a fun person, and that makes you uncool.
但如果我呃到你以為我認真 咁我就係outsmart 左你
傳統既discourse係以互相理解 申辯作基礎
但呢種所謂"meme culture"式既就以人既idiosyncrasy同interaction structure黎做基礎
結果一個人既belief可以埋係一種irony背後
當有人challenge佢 佢就可以話
"吓 我講笑jar wor, 你唔係當真呀?" 然後一班人笑柒個challenger
4chan就係一個奇怪環境
個個都有呢種mindset 個個都想outsmart對方
久而久之就連某d discourse 係咪一種irony都分唔清
呢件事既發生代表左呢種模式已經可以assert irl influence, 唔再只係一種形式
講多句 後面係咪有野drive 緊呢種struggle?
我諗有 但唔會係表面見倒既呢set ideology
