He was a glorious creature, and everyone who wasn't a humorless idiot or a no-talent hack loved him and played with him all the time. This made everyone happy, especially Deadspin. But then, one day, Deadspin got the terrible idea that he should cut off his horn so that he could be more like all the other horses because more people played with the other horses, and, hey, who doesn't like horses, amirite? Unfortunately for him, and all those who really cared for him, Deadspin realized too late that it was his differences which made people love him more than the normal horses, and, without those differences, he had nothing to offer that people hadn't already seen. Now Deadspin is just another horse surrounded by horseshit, and it's only a matter of time before he dies and is thrown to the dogs in pellet form.<br /><br />The End.

You had to be funny, and you had to be consistently funny, and you had to be really committed to the idea of "being funny" as a barrier to entry. It was better to comment on half the posts and be funny all the time than to comment on all the posts, be funny in half of them, and be serious (but "good") in the other half. One of the very first comments I ever made on Deadspin was a question in DUAN: I asked, essentially, why that made any sense. Why ONLY funny? Why not serious, too? Several people responded, including the comment ninja (RIP), who told me the truth: This is the way to keep the comment section from sucking. Too much other shit and the place starts to lose its voice.<br /><br />I don't think I really understood that, at the time. I could IMPROVE its voice! Just by being the unique and super-intelligent handsome guy that I am, I could make intelligent contributions to the discussion. Why wouldn't you guys want that?<br /><br />But really, of course, the question was: Why <i>would</i> you guys want that?<br /><br />The Deadspin comment section wasn't a place where a bunch of bros got together and told dick jokes and shunned anyone who wasn't on "the team" like a bunch of stereotypical jocks. It wasn't a place where people could just effortlessly be themselves. You had to perform, in a very literal sense - you had to work way too fuckin' hard to entertain a bunch of people you'll never meet in real life, and you had to be WILLING to do that - this seemed to be enough to get you from pink to grey - and, finally, you had to get good at it. You got your star when you were capable of entertaining the crowd, because <i>that was the entire fucking point of the crowd's existence</i>.<br /><br />The Deadspin comment section was a place for jokes. It was not a place for not-jokes. It was that simple, and if you were willing to play by that rule, you were given a voice. If you weren't willing to try to be funny - well, why are you here? Why do your stupid, worthless opinions about sports <i>have</i> to show up on Deadspin?<br /><br />The star system went away, and with it went the only means of enforcing the rules. Then people's stupid opinions starting showing up everywhere and the comment system acquired the one property that makes every other comment system unreadable: Some fucking idiot asshole can post his horrible racist rant or whatever and just ruin your day. It's precisely why I, at least, avoid literally every other comment section on the internet. Why put yourself through that?<br /><br />Anyway. <a href="http://deadspin.com/5883849/the-stupidest-tweets-of-the-super-bowl/gallery/?comment=46870123#comments" rel="nofollow">This</a> is the comment that got me my star.
