Sob story

From Encyclopedia Dramatica

Jump to: navigation, search

A Sob Story is a tactic used by emotionally needy attention whores to pry undeserved sympathy out of the general public. It can be many things from how you were raped, your latest failed suicide attempt, how horrible your life is, how you hurt yourself, how your friend died and how you almost died to name just a few. With the stupidity-nurturing effects of online teen-ruled forums/communities; use of the tactic has skyrocketed just as fast as the amount of jackasses self-diagnosing themselves with Asperger's syndrome.

The truth of the matter is that almost all cases of sob stories are blatant lies. This is because people with real deaths and tragedy usually have the maturity to move on with their lives instead of being a blubbering cunt on the internets crying for attention. Another reason is despite the "tragic events", the person complaining always seems to have a perfect alibi for covering up any evidence it really happened such as "they never found the body" or "the rapist is still out there/dead" or any other TOTALLY CONVENIENT cover.

Oh and of course if you call them a liar, you are a horrible insensitive cock... I mean, like, how DARE you question it!

[edit] Fred Teh Cyclops

There once was a cyclops named Fred, who lived in a village called buttsecks. Everybody taunted poor Fred because he had one eye and ate all the local Mexicans chili. he got really angry so ate over 9000 tons of ice cream and blew up. He needed surgery but no one would do it so Fred done the operation himself. when he was healing he brought a truck and turned it in to a cinema, but all the films had the fagot Tom Cruise in them so no one turned up. fred attempted to pwn himself by eating his left foot, he developed AIDS in the process. Fred went to buy a gun but the store owner said no so Fred gave him right ball cancer so he died. Fred stole an AK-47 and killed everyone in the village, including the barbies but the GI-Joes got away. Soon after, flying condoms flew him to the candy king, whom congratulated Fred on killing everyone in the village and awarded him with curry. He raped poor Fred with a chocolate dildo.

It should be no surprise that the wapanese-sonic-furry-fan girl "artist" social networking site known as DevianTART is a breeding ground for this type of behavior.

[edit] Argentina is rape central

As if a failed suicide attempt wan't enough, you can add even more tragedy by mentioning your parents beat you for it! and then cry about being told to STFU! WOW! she sure knows how to pull you heartstrings! Here is a suggestion: if you want the E-abuse to stop, why don't you just UNPLUG YOUR INTERNETS? Oh wait, that would compromise your flow of hugs D:

Apparently this furry from Argentina has been raped again and agan by the same guy, but would sooner post the details on her deviantart journal rather than contacting the authorities. Other activities include using excessive emoticons when threatening to kill herself, but of course she doesn't do it for the attention:

 
“ 		 
PS (AND PLZ READ IT) : when I post a journal is for my friends cuz they would know me and they knew the situation,im'e not searching for help in the web as some retards think, and im'e not ashamed to say nothing, if you don't like what you see then don't say nothing, is simple, if u just wanna suggest or put an opinion, will be very welcome I aclare this too cuz ppl is srsly thinking i want attention.....if i wanted attention i would say other kind of things, as some users I know and I wont name them
  		„

[edit] Sonic Fan girls Try Suicide

He parents beat her to death and she had just enough time to tell her friend "Take care of my neopets" before she died.
He parents beat her to death and she had just enough time to tell her friend "Take care of my neopets" before she died.

In one of the worst examples of what is wrong with the internet is the events that unfolded in the early days of 2007: When a gigantic group of 13 year old furry sonic fangirls decide to make a fake suicide pact for attention and pageviews. Imagine how much these girls will lie and manipulate their way through life when they get older? Truly humanity is destined for failure.
