Twerking Harder Better Faster Stronger

                Those people you just saw “twerking” on the internet the other day? Well, according to this article, they were probably descended from spiders compared to what we normal humans are descended from. Please note to all the people with arachnophobia to not go to this page, some viewer discretion may be advised. These spiders, and some other animals, will violently shake when the time of mating season comes around. I guess you could say the same for people.
                Why anyone would twerk in the privacy in their own home is kind of understandable though a little strange, but then recording it and posting it online? That, to me, is just kind of baffling. At this point, it may just be a stupid dare, or primal instincts starting to surge through. All different kinds of animals do this kind of shaking and mostly for different reasons, but there are some things in common between them, such as they are usually used to mark something, whether it be territory or a mating opportunity. To justify the reason for twerking, these people probably want to mark their place in the internet by outdoing each other. This is of course a giant regression in the development of the human mind, and if it ever continues, probably in all of mankind.
               This brings me to my next point. Although we humans declare that we are superior to other humans in some points, even if some are not true, even the ones people consider to be the most inferior, will declare themselves much better than any kinds of animals. These kinds of actions make me wonder if we really are any better than animals. This is not some sort of Darwinist theory or anything, but some people make the dumbest mistakes. Correct, their prefrontal cortex has not fully developed, but then again, does it not seem that sometimes if it even develops in some people. The stupidest actions caused by the stupidest of people, like drag racing a Lamborghini, really should not be tolerated. This does not lead me to believe that everyone needs to do it though, like people on the internet.

                On the Internet, multiple people will freely speak their thoughts in a rude and childish manner because they have the barrier of the screen to hide behind. I am looking straight at you League of Legends players. It always makes me angry that multiple people will criticize a person for a mistake that the critic would most likely have made too. I just wish stupid actions were dealt with more severely, and not set a bail at a relatively low price.

  1. Once again, sir, I have an explanation for this phenomenon that you are describing. As you must know, a very large percentage of League of Legends players are Brazilian. Due to this large number of Brazilian players, there is actually a reverse racism effect in that game. Brazilians are notorious for berating people of other nationalities (gringos) even if they themselves are prone to the same mistakes. Many typically avoid games with large Brazilian populations for this very reason. Some of these games include Counter Strike GO, League Of Legends, as well as other competitive eSports MOBA games.

    I refuse this approach. The best thing to do when Brazilian gets up in your face is to pick yourself up and out perform them. What do you do when they start throwing racial slurs at your in Portuguese? Start making yourself seem cool in Spanish, since it's basically the same thing (at least I can't tell the difference). Yell out things like "El Gringo Loco!" and stuff that makes you seem like one dangerously cool Gringo. Kill em with kindness.
