#redditcore

A few of us, namely myself, @prokopetz and others, are being asked about Reddit-core, or about our insistence on sticking to a somewhat more formal register than what's otherwise typical of the Hellsite.

My friends, there is nothing more amusing than self-aware pedantry or voluntary profundity. As David himself noted, posting about robot dick is funnier when you do it in the simulated context of a one-writer academic journal.

Consider the average Redditor. Most see themselves as invested of their Subreddit of choice's topic, which obviously triggers ego-related headbutts in most Comment threads. It also infoms that sense of profundity, which comes across as a very grammatically-aware delivery as a byproduct of wanting to be as crystal-clear as possible.

I'm more the type to let better-qualified Tumblrs than myself develop their expertise and timing in the field of Keyboard-Smash Humour - and I'm not being sarcastic at all, in saying this. I might be bi, I just don't have in me to Gay Smash my Razer Huntsman, not when I can take the kludgey and verbose approach and exactingly describe what's going on between my ears.

So, considering, when someone calls my style "long-winded" or "bloviating", I tend to repress a fiendish chuckle and take it as a compliment.
