we had a massive outpouring of disgusting yaks like this around the same time. in DC. on a "progressive" college campus. ugly stuff.

It was the racism combined with a constant onslaught of desperate appeals from males to females for sex that killed it for me. It seemed anti-intellectual, in general, apart from some witty remarks getting popular.

"Fuqbois" is the relevant term, thank you for introducing it to me.

ay u a girl? kik???

it's mostly recycled shit from tumblr and celebrity twitters. my "favorite" interaction to date was a guy who said i was a nazi because i was socialist because national socialism = socialism??? then i hit him with the "you just called a jew a nazi" and that was the end of my sadomasochistic yik yaking for the night.

    sadomasochistic yik yaking

Niiice.

I've really been struggling with a superiority complex lately. I guess that's what it is. Just been feeling like people are unfathomably stoopid, in general. YikYak was an obvious contributer to this mentality, so it had to go. Hubski, on the other hand, needs more of my attention, because this community is remarkably uplifting.
