The 43 Types of Commenters

June 30, 2016 by V the K

Some of these seem familiar. Takes for example, #24: The Party Line.

The Party Line comment is one in which the poster simply repeats something they’ve learned – often verbatim – from another source. This can be a religious leader, a political teacher, a professor on a topic, a book, etc. The key to the Party Line comment is a lack of original thought and often even comprehension of the subject. Rather than a personal analysis, the Party Line merely repeats talking points on the topic.

And, then there’s #11: “Talking Points”

The Talking Points comment is one in which a series of memes or pre packaged statements are regurgitated onto a message board or comment section. Often this is done without further comment and is sometimes even simply cut and pasted from another source.

    I’ve seen people combine both 11 and 24 on Facebook recently, in many areas but most often political discussion, where somebody insists they have read/ listened to/ studied their opponent but then they throw out cliched criticisms that are inaccurate, irrelevant, and exaggerated – showing that they haven’t actually read/ listened to/ studied their opponent but have just regurgitated what others say about their opponent.
    This is particularly common when either Abortion or Donald Trump is brought up.

    On this board:

    #24: The Party Line = al-Cray-da. Fits him like a condom.

    And, then there’s #11: “Talking Points” = definitely Rusty Cut-N-Paste.

    #2, saw a meme with Brock Turner’s face and a meme tying brock to transgenders in bathrooms.

    All I could do was facepalm. How can you make a meme mocking the other side while completely proving their point?

    Shouldn’t we combine the list of 59 genders with the list of 43 types of commenters?

    Like : Type 1, straight. Type 1, bi. Type 1, gay. ect.

    Would that make it 2,537 correct gender/commenter types?

    It sounds like Trumpbot supporters. Jimmy Kimmel had a segment asking Trump voters what would stop them from voting for him. One said murder, and one said there was no way they would refrain from voting for him. Perhaps that person would change their mind if Trump raped their daughter.

    If you’re listing commenter by type, you might want to look at this:
