this person was the kid back in middle school who reminded the teacher about the homework

People downvoting your comment are the kids back in middle school who reminded the teacher about the homework

Why would they ? I was that kid and I still upvoted his comment, I don't use downvote as a disagree/punish button, I only use it for agressive/uninteresting comment. I think we should upvote any comment that create interesting discussion, even if we disagree with the core message.

I was just making a joke. I actually wrote this comment before I read your other comment lol.

I love this anology so much. It's something everyone can relate to. It's something so incredibly low and despised that you can't understand why it exists, but it's also so very common.

Hall monitor type for fucking sure

Those boot lickers 😩

Wrong, I was that kid and I hate denuvo just like everybody else.

Also I don't think it works as an analogy, the kid reminding the teacher about homework does it because he likes school, and learning, he does it for himself and everybody else, he never imagine other kids would not like it. This guy doesn't do this for himself or others, he does this out of spite of others, to punish people, he doesn't gain anything.

I beg to differ. We made pretty sure that kid had absolutely no doubt that we did not want homework. If it was different for you, there must have been something huge at that school keeping you from getting a whooping every other day.

That's what the commentor thinks too, he imagines all the good people who want a fair and sane world will cheer him on and the nasty criminals to slink off Into the night mubling how they'd have got away with it if it weren't for that nobel hero saving the day for the good capitalist folk and their billionaire corporations.
