8. Isn't pointlessness the point?

Or at least a part of this art form, or fad, or whatever it is?

Doesn't it break some "code" or "taboo" to actually take a stand in one of these posts? To say what should or should not be done because of the cited horror story?

People criticize my pointless post while ignoring other, equally pointless ones, so there must be some finer details of the horror story aesthetic that I'm missing.

There's something more than pointlessness to these pointless horror OPs, but no one is telling what it is. Oh well, I guess I'm not a horror natural.
