    No one has told an “original” story.

    It’s a self indulgent and totally assinine remark but at least he’s saying something.

    One minute the Internet simps for this guy; the next, he’s a hack.

    Go figure

      if one person thinks one thing and another person thinks a different thing, that doesn’t make them both hypocrites even if they are both on the internet

        Sure, but you can definitely guage the level of popularity of one take over another.

        At that point, the one which dominates is obviously going to be the one holds the status quo

      Plenty of people have told “original” stories.

      My remark was self indulgent and totally as[s]inine, but I’m just saying something too, where’s my pass?

      The internet doesn’t act as a single cohesive entity.

        Plenty of people have told “original” stories.

        Stories that are popular can be legal rip offs from something that is vaguely similar but never gained much exposure. So, what?

        “I told a story that the world is familiar with and has sufficient relevance to the issues of today but nobody heeded the warning”

        “uhh, yeah, but it wasn’t original”

        My remark was self indulgent and totally as[s]inine, but I’m just saying something too, where’s my pass?

        Sorry, I guess you probably have made a significant contribution that’s relevant to this glaring issue in society that we’re all trying to come to grips with?

        The internet doesn’t act as a single cohesive entity

        No, but a significant portion of it does act as a single, cohesive entity. Enough to perpetuate memes into popularity that glorify one and simultaneously villify another.

        That’s self evident.
