Pokemon Go Insanity - Impending Salt and other Weirdness

[chimpburgers]

I think everyone knows by now what Pokemon Go is unless you've been living under a rock this whole time. Nearly everyone's playing it and if you check on Facebook for what people are saying about it, you'll find some crazy stuff like this.

As the game grows in popularity, I foresee this kind of shit being more and more of a trend. Post any salt you find related to this phenomenon taking the world by storm.

I'll help you get started.

A moralfag appears!

Conspiracies!

Wut.

Pot dealers getting arrested playing the game too.

The fad kind of reminds me of the days when Pokemon was first really popular around 16 years ago. There were fundamentalist Christians claiming it was "demonic." News would do fluff pieces.

A big difference between then and now is the presence of social media.

"feeding cats and dogs a proper vegan diet"

"A PROPER VEGAN DIET"

While one can argue that dogs are omnivores due to how adaptable they are to dietary intake, cats are straight up carnivores.

I swear, vegans are the some of the dumbest people on the planet

I mean pokeyman go is pretty retarded. If you play it you have something in common with Chris Chan, legendary autist.

A big difference between then and now is the presence of social media today.

And the option to debunk bullshit and make your own opinions after a quick online search. At least people should be aware of that, which they aren't.

Have there been any chimpouts about having to choose to be a boy or girl yet? Cause that always gets brought up anytime a new Pokemon game comes out.

Those retards never went away. The media just quit paying attention to them but you still have some people here and there say they had to grow up without Pokemon specifically because their parents are retarded in this way.

I just started playing, and it isn't half bad. Bunch of cuties I know are going gaga over it, though. It's fucking hilarious

There really isn't much fuss about that because when you choose whether you want to be a boy or a girl, it doesn't say choose your gender it says choose your style, and just has the masculine and feminine options.
There is a ton of people praising it for being so progressive because of this.

All of my coworkers are playing it and I think they've gone insane. They capturing Pokemon on the plates, on each other, in the fruit groves, on the sea...

I don't use cell phones, so I won't ever fall into this mess.

From the Brianna Wu thread, Wu paid a guy $30 to drive here around all day so she could catch Pokemon.

Then wrote a news article about it.

Pictured below, the drivers she paid, along with her husband Frank(The "R" is because the Wu's are Team Rocket. Wish I was kidding)
