Dichotomous

So Kanye West dropped that big ol' music video thing recently. It's half an hour long, and it looks like he really thinks it's profound. On the surface, it looks like it could be profound; there are things that could be symbolic of other things, messages that may or may not be thematically pertinent and shots of Kanye running in the forest.

But when you think back on it, you realize that it doesn't really make any sense. Kanye just wanted to holla at this model in a bird costume.

Regardless of your thoughts on the subject, this is probably not the best approach to take in your criticism of it:

Absolutely classic. All caps, minimal punctuation, and a desperate plea for "thumbs ups?" People, these are the ingredients for a top notch internet comment cocktail. Take notes.

Or, you could take another route:

No caps, missing definitive articles, and anti-gay slurs all in one compact package! Fantastic.

The interesting thing about these two comments is how they manage to convey the idiocy and ignorance of their authors' in such different ways. makinghitz111 goes for the flashy, attention grabbing all-caps approach, and is largely successful, until you make your way down to DerkNS4L, who is able convey a similar theme much more efficiently.

Normally, one would applaud DerkNS4L's approach, as it makes makinghitz111's appear bloated and overlong. However, one may not even notice DerkNS4L's comment, as it falls in the gigantic shadow of those that came before.

Hell, if you're scrolling through the comment section looking for flamebait, you might even mistake DerkNS4L's comment for something intelligible. There is no chance of making this mistake with makinghitz111.

In closing, both methods of calling a video-maker gay have valor. Each has it's faults. Which is better? That is for the world to decide.
