What's really crazy is that the picture in the thumbnail is clearly outside with a plain banana suit, but the article shows a video of a sparkly banana at an inside gig, indicating that this isn't an isolated incident of banana flavoured xenophobia.

Edit: ITT, OP loses their mind over a duplicate post.

    You have multiple accounts and chose to use them all to comment the same thing?

    Edit: for all those who come this way, just close this comment chain. It's a mess. But yeah their client bugged out and they did not like that very much.

    spoilerSo if anyone was interested they are also Javi and MrGoosMoos

    Nah it said failed to post on one so I used another (its literally just pressing a button, don't even need to rewrite the comment on blorp) removed one once I'd noticed both posted.

    3 times, with 3 accounts. It had a hell of a hiccup. I don't even have 1 spare.

    Also is Blorp the app or something?

    3 times? Its was twice, unless the first account that said failed to post actually posted it twice? Checked and its definitely just the one duplicate. "Not 3 times by 3 different accounts" lol.

    Blorp is a fediverse client. Its not uncommon to have multiple accounts on the fediverse, due to differences in federation.

    Why do you think its so egregious that I posted this comment?

    I just read the rest of the chain. I'm sorry that I've caused you such trouble. I didn't expect people to get so bothered by a simple little copypasta.

    I dont think the comment is egregious so calm down. I just thought it was wild that I got the same comment 3 times from 3 accounts.
    It was more just a comical idea and use of alt accounts compared to the usual for upvoting your own stuff to make yourself seem popular or to use to get around bans.

    You just had to make sure you were seen being shocked by banana.

    And, neat! I really only know my voyager and some of the web app ones and went with my instance because its pretty widely federated. I am bad at diversifying and figured this was easier.

    Tap for spoilerYou should check for a comment from goosmoos since you got Javi.

    Ironic that you'd tell me to calm down when you're the one blowing this out of proportion lol, I just wanted to make a fucking joke about a banana and then suddenly faced an interrogation.

    No you are reading tone that isnt there and already acting like it is an attack. It was meant to be in jest while alerting you to your duplicates and I am sorry it freaked you out.

    Meh, it feels like it should work but it something in the phrasing...

    Maybe "no, there is no tone so it was all meant in jest"

    Anyways, happy you could enjoy your victimhood.

    Why does each comment throw another accusation my way?

    I'm supposedly freaked out, now im enjoying victimhood? Its really not that deep mate, you were just a bit of a prick and I called you out for it. There's no need for all this extra nonsense

    Last banana joke I make on one of your posts.

    I dunno, I am not your therapist.

    Sorry I was a prick for trying to point something out to you. But one last time cause I can't help myself.

    MrGoosMoos is nothing to do with me lol, it was posted an hour after mine, and is clearly someone else who picked up on the duplicate, and made a copypasta style joke.

    Is my interrogation over now?

    interrogation

    Dude, this could have just been considered a conversation. Maybe I need to talk to you in memes cause I just asked a question that you didnt have to answer and I dont decide when this is over just when I stop replying. So if you want to stop....

    Oh that wasn't me sincerely suggesting this was an interrogation. Couldn't you understand that it was a joke by the lack of tone?

    Oh my god stop attacking me! Why do you think you can just pretend you meaning something different like that. I already know that you meant to imagine yourself handcuffed by me. Just cause you want to picture that doesnt mean I have the handcuffs.

    So what if you want the interrogation. I only have 20 questions you know and I dont even know if it is a mineral or not!

    Okay? ....

    So the other really cool thing you can do with the Blorp client, is tag other users for easy reference later. Though I Don't think I'll easily forget this exchange. Feels like every time I see a bananaman suit, I'll think of this moment.

    Thanks. I will think of the guy who used the word interrogate multiple times when trying to talk to them and probably forget and do it all again anyways.

    I am glad that we both got to have this super uncomfortable weird interaction with each other. It was surely really weird for both of us. And now I get to live on in your head forever for some reason, unlike you, who is just another person in the crowd.

    Yeah exactly. I will think about the interaction so I can use it to try to change my tactic the next time I see someone freaking out about maybe accidentally leaving multiple comments up.

    But you. Nah, I dont care. Honestly I have just been on the receiving end of so much incoherent stuff it doesnt phase me or else I should have stopped responding to you a long time ago.

    Edit: also isnt it wild that you are basically alone in this interaction? You know. See 1 asshole vs see assholes everywhere? Somehow only to you was this conversation so painful in a thread of other good ones.

    Oh no I am just stubborn and like being part of you mind. Its comfy in there.

    Nah look around I do it all the time. You should see that time I took photos to compare color values to someone elses AI generated images.

    I know who I am. What is your excuse?

    That's exactly what makes your last edit so laughable. What was it you said, see 1 asshole vs see assholes everywhere? Now in the very next statement you're bragging about how you routinely do this shit.

    Talk about projection.

    Keep talking? My point was that most of my long conversations aren't this. We came to an understanding about contrast from that other discussion.

    I'm stubborn and I dont stop talking. That doesnt seem to equal what you think it does.

    Again, why are you still here? I know what I said and who I am. Do you just want to talk about your day?

    Ah I see, so most of them thought you were an asshole until you just continued long enough for them to just leave it, and you perceive that as a mutual understanding? Fascinating.

    See, this is a novel situation for me. I normally just leave a lighthearted joke on posts and move on with my life, but something about your initial comments just screamed redditor neckbeard energy, and you caught me off guard.

    Let me guess, you originally migrated to Lemmy after being banned from reddit after too many of your "discussions".

    You sure do like to assume things.

    I mean you are wrong about all of it. But let's not confuse you with a reality other than what you want to be true.

    No wonder this feels unique. You never usually have a conversation you just talk at people and having to follow up was scary. Well dont worry I will still be here for you.

    So, see the nicks game?

    This all started with you making an accusation at me, because you made an assumption that wasn't true lol, but please carry on with the projections.

    Respectfully I'll have to disagree with that, If this "discussion" of yours has taught me anything, its definitely that I need to engage with people online less, not more.

    Look I dont know what I dont know. I asked a question and instead of answering it you went off about how I was attacking you. Like almost immediately accused me of being rude and playing victim.

    Yeah I was wrong. I was trying to figure out what happened and now I'm just talking to this weirdo. I still dont understand what you get out of this.
    I do agree that you should probably interact less. It would be less uncomfortable for others.

    Honestly look at this thread. Wildly off topic and continuing just cause you want to be right. We should both be downvoted just for the spam since like comment number 3. But here we are with your rage for me still smoldering enough to try and insult me time and time again while I havent back.

    Its a weird look.

    Meh, just waiting for the mods to clean this up eventually.

    But I do have stuff I have to be getting to. Hope your client doesnt glitch again and someone asks about it, god forbid you have to get interrogated all over again.

    But one more meme for the road!

    Ok. Thank you for that. Was confusing to see on my side so did do something fun even if it just caused a super weird conversation (interrogation) with that other person.

    gotta love when things are misinterpreted on the internet eh

    and thanks for crossing out my name in your comment. it's risky for me to be associated with another account I don't know. what if they were something disgusting, like being left wing, and people confused me for that? that would be terrible, just terrible. my reputation would never recover. couldn't have people thinking I'm a half decent person.

    I'm sorry for what that could do to your bad name.

    Now excuse me but I think a handle of whiskey and a good snort is needed in my future. Sorry for your warm receptions once again.
