I'll go all Tom of Finland on you if you quote another furry picture. Granted it'll be work safe.

Not new but interesting
http://gagne.homedns.org/~tgagne/contrib/unskilled.html Unskilled and Unaware of It: How Difficulties in Recognizing One's Own Incompetence Lead to Inflated Self-Assessments Justin Kruger and David Dunning Department of Psychology Cornell University Abstract People tend to hold overly favorable views of their abilities in many social and intellectual domains. The authors suggest that this overestimation occurs, in part, because people who are unskilled in these domains suffer a dual burden: Not only do these people reach erroneous conclusions and make unfortunate choices, but their incompetence robs them of the metacognitive ability to realize it. Across 4 studies, the authors found that participants scoring in the bottom quartile on tests of humor, grammar, and logic grossly overestimated their test performance and ability. Although their test scores put them in the 12th percentile, they estimated themselves to be in the 62nd. Several analyses linked this miscalibration to deficits in metacognitive skill, or the capacity to distinguish accuracy from error. Paradoxically, improving the skills of participants, and thus increasing their metacognitive competence, helped them recognize the limitations of their abilities.

The internet has been ****ed up ever since the rules and anonymous were formed.

The internet enables people with niche interests to form communities (for good or ill) even though they are geographically scattered. It increases visibility and, within their own communities at least, acceptability. With a degree of anyonymity and no need to deal with others in person, people are much more willing to discuss their...unusual interests.
