The problem with Moe

Hello there, Brian1321 you know, from jalopnik here,

I am here the address the recent infestation of Moes. That includes Waymoe, Raphmoe, Moenica, Margin Of Error, et al. These obvious parody/joke accounts began posting and all was fine. People joked back, it was all jovial (with some wtf thrown in for good measure) and everything seemed ok.

But then the complaints started. People were unhappy with the sheer volume of Moe characters. They didnt like that the posts started to get weirder, more direct in their insults, and downright dumb. One particular comment stood out, quoted from JBH

Disappointed that this normally truthful and friendly community has to put up with it.

This is not a knock on JBH, he has feelings and he has a right to express them. This is a knock on the perception that the Moes have anything to do with the corruption and evisceration of a "once great community." This community lives and dies by the collective group, not the odd ramblings of a few novelty accounts.

No one has to put up with anything they don't want to. I dont click on Torchinsky's random bullshit, I dont read Raphaels whatever you can call that, I dont read the Admin emails about people posting with red font instead of blue and how we should go about handling it. Do not blame the Moes for any issues you have with the forum. Blame yourself, for we are the ones who have a much higher impact on the day to day relationships and interactions of the members than 4 accounts who post a few times a week.

I say embrace the Moe. Look at them as more of a palette cleanser from all of the teenagers asking which car to put themselves into crippling debt with, what unnecessarily expensive racing wheels to buy for your daily driver, or read another persons review of a car they drove to Pathmark. Do not join the circle jerk that this place has become. The Moe is there for you. For as we all know, Waymoe is love. Waymoe is life.

I'm really just sad the title wasn't "Moe Problems"

Yeah some people get all up in arms about it. Who cares, if it was 5 posts in a row messing with everyones posts getting knocked into oblivion, sure be pissy. One post in a while, who cares, read and interact, or don't. Onto the next post

If we didn't have all these moes moeing up the place, Waymoe wouldn't have to continually try to outmoe the others and could just moe in peace.

I miss old Waymoe

I thought Margin of Error was some kid from New Brunswick.

I don't really understand what that story is about, and clearly don't understand why I'm getting railroaded in that soap opera of shit.

I've been putting a lot of efforts in writing articles and received a lot of praise. I know some people don't agree with me all the time, but that doesn't mean that I am a parody.

All I know about them Mo's is that they always talk about a guy named Dylan, I don't remember interacting with that meonica girl.

What happened? I have clearly not been on Oppo enough lately... I know about Waymoe and his strange ways, but did not know that it spread.

Recently, I've heard many so called "Opponauts" complaining about the vast amount of Brians that post here. Silvestro, Life of, ly2v8, and 1321, who can't even capitalize his own name. It's been said that there are too many Brians and not enough cool names like Vince or Bruce. However, I vehemently disagree... wait, no, screw those guys.

Brian is a dumb name unless immediately followed by numbers. No more than 4, no less than 3 (exception made for 69)

This is a knock on the perception that the Moes have anything to do with the corruption and evisceration of a "once great community." This community lives and dies by the collective group, not the odd ramblings of a few novelty accounts.

I specifically avoided making any general claims about a "once great community" as you have called it for specifically this reason. Yet you have brought a comment out of context to try to say just that. Way to perpetuate the circle jerk.

I never said I think oppo as a whole has been degraded because of the Moes. I'm just disappointed such trollish behavior has to be tolerated.
