posts that are of ink are ragebait, posts that are of meat are genuine.

do not give in and reply to ragebait, for this not only inundates your own soma, but prevents the nourishing of surrounding meat trees. be kind to yourself and others, this is how one is to be defeating the oceans of ink and stopping ragebaits.

also any post that is not about shin megami tensei 2 is ragebait.
