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.

B-but that would be falsifying the lore!
