Every now and then, I spot a tiny, succulent slice of childhood or current trauma.
When the generic anime-badguy phrases drop, and the "hay let's spam" runs weary, it's those glimpses of real human emotion that keep me going.
Think of it this way; for me, nudity in and of itself isn't very interesting. I would say that stripping is far more exciting, but I don't find strippers very appealing, for hygienic and sanitary reasons.
I understand why people troll forums, why people grief other players in MMOs. They want to wrap themselves in the emotions of others, and being cruel or manipulative is the easiest way to do it.
That said, it requires you to not only be empty or berefit of friends, as an example, but to ignore your own feelings and emotions (maybe you don't have any, weirdo). In the end, the person you enrage by camping their corpse or by calling them a "no-nothing booger-face" is probably realer than you could hope to be. Unless you're a magnificent bastard, and that's a totally different story (and two hours of reading TV Tropes).
tldr: contradictions fuel the Universe
