So basically you're comparing Pearl to a guy who killed people a few counties over from where I live.

How the fuck did you even get to that conclusion? Like, there's leaps in logic, and then there's leaping over a cliff into a river infested with man eating crocodiles while wrapped up in uncooked bacon.

There is absolutely nothing about Pearl that even vaguely resembles Ted Bundy.

I guess that's why he'd be wrong making that comparison then...

Here's the big connection: he targeted women with the same hair as his ex.

But where is the biggest thing that I am wrong about? I'll give you a big hint: it's typically given at an incredibly young age!

You're grasping for straws. Like, this is quite possibly the most insane thing I've ever born witness to in this thread. How did you get from Pearl having a crush on someone who vaguely looked like Rose to Ted friggin' Bundy?

Why would you think you were right? Pearl and Ted Bundy go together about as well as Sponge Bob and the Son of Sam. You're wrong because you're making a false equivalence towards two completely separate events.

If Pearl was the type to go serial killer Greg would have been killed long ago.

Cuz playing games is fun. You guys clearly don't want to play, so I won't bother. The reason I'm wrong is gender. Female serial killers typically have different motivations than male serial killers, and Pearl fits none of the common characteristics which are widely accepted. That is how she is most unlike Ted Bundy, besides obviously not being a serial killer in any way.

I mean, this is basically your logic:

Cam from Modern Family is a clown.

Noted serial killer John Wayne Gacy was a clown.

Therefore, Cam from Modern Family is obviously mentally ill and needs to stop being a clown because it's unsettling to his psyche.

False equivalence.

[up]

You never indicated it was a joke, and at this point I don't even see how this is even a game to any of us.

[up]Well, yes, that's obvious. I just brought it up because it's fun to run with something to it's most untentable end-point, and because it fits my sig and title.

And it is a game. I set forth an insane premise, and you have to riddle your way through the logic I used to get there. It's a thing I do, I like setting up strange challenges and fun distractions. You clearly don't like it, so I won't do it anymore. I apologize.

Thing is, if you want to play games, it generally helps when the other people know they're playing too.

Ya know, you could've asked before doing a game. Or you could've just not done it at all. What even is this game? Because to me it looked like you were just messing with us for no reason and then tried to retcon it into being all part of a "game".

That troper just compared Peral to a serial killer by a thin thread similarity.

That's all.

Okay, I come clean. I like screwing with people. I like pushing them to see how they fall. Make them angry, make them sad, whatever will make me feel more in control of my pitiful life which I feel I have no control over. It's dumb and sad, and I try to justify it in the name of science, but in the end I do it because it feels good to see others mad. I try to avoid it, try to stop it, but I keep coming back to the same old habit. You wanted the answer, and now you have it. I treat people like toys because I am one.

So let me have this. Let me apologize. Pretend this never happened. Let me try to help for a change. Let me be sincere in this, if only this once. Let me build a bridge I burned. I am sorry for treating you poorly.

It was a very weird conversation, yes.

Look, shitposting's an art, and not everyone can do it. That doesn't necessarily mean you shouldn't try, but not every one of them's gonna land.

[up] That is...ah...that is probably something you should not do. A lot of people don't react to people messing with them especially well.

See, @madprophet, the idea behind a joke, is that it's supposed to be funny.
