See this sort of copypasta always works best when it’s written like the layers of an onion: peeling back the layers one by one to gradually reveal the writer’s true motives, before building itself back up into an equally ridiculous defense of those true motives. As it stands, unfortunately, this copypasta — though it has its moments — is only the pretense, the façade, the tatemae: it has no clear “crack in the mask” moment, certainly no “burst of the dam” moment, it’s setup without a punchline. Which means it’s a B rate copypasta at best.
The guy didn’t actually want to fuck the bunny cop, that’s why it’s not as good as you want it to be. This is actually only the main post the guy made, he went on to crash out in multiple additional threads about it. By the end people were unironically telling him that it was a joke and he should leave because the whole thing was clearly causing him a lot of emotional distress, but it didn’t really seem to take.
I am aware that it’s a verbatim comment by a real person, I’m just saying that if you’re going to make it into a copypasta you might as well embellish it — it’s already been divorced from its original author.
But honestly I’ve always felt this bit was kinda mean-spirited, right from the jump, so in all seriousness, I kinda don’t like the idea of retroactively vindicating the old sub for its frankly cruel irony-poisoned reaction to the original post.
Yeah, that’s fair. I guess I was thinking that if the bit is distanced from its original inspiration that that would make it feel less mean-spirited, but I can also see how doing that could end up having the opposite effect in practice.
I think this is the “guy in /r/cth who really wanted to fuck Judy Hopps” copypasta. Those were simpler times.
The only cop I’d rather boop than punch in the nose. Lol.
(Same for K-9s and station/precinct cats, tbh. They’re generally victims of state abuse, not bastards like human cops are.)

B-but that would be falsifying the lore!
