>>12168771i'll let retarded reddit tourists and newfags from twitter in on a secret. if you see an anime avi, a frog, a gorilla, a totally unrelated image that isn't a cute animal, performatively incoherent grammar, a cluster of similar threads in the catalog, a smug anime girl, scientifically speaking, or anything to do with race, climate change, or a trending news story you have encountered a bait thread. These threads are made with minimal effort on the part of the creator, they are not intended to generate good or interesting conversations, the person who made the thread may not even look at the thread for over a day after creating it and they often signal other shitposters to populate the thread waiting for earnest retards like yourself to contribute. If you cannot learn to spot and ignore bait you don't belong here.
