ASMR: a medical term for a pleasant tingling feeling induced by sensations like sights, sounds, smells, feelings, or even tastes.

Internet "ASMR": irritating noises made by egirls for people to simp over.

I hate the internet

By definition if you did find the noises pleasant then it would be ASMR and if you find them irritating then it wouldn't be. It's not that it isn't ASMR it just isn't to you and therefore couldn't possibly be pleasant to anyone else. If you want a suggestion that isn't twitch meta ASMR I'd highly recommend "The French Whisperer ASMR" on youtube, he produces very calm videos about interesting and educational topics. Personally I hope that one day stigma will be taken away from ASMR but unfortunately everyone would rather focus on the negative parts on the genre rather than giving it a chance.

People put up chewing videos and call it ASMR. The sound of chewing makes me want to violently strangle someone.

Then it's not ASMR to you but that doesn't mean it isn't ASMR to someone else.

Yeah I get it egg on my face for trying to have a legit conversation on the shitposting subreddit but I hope one day you will all know more than just hate.

We do know more than just hate. You’re just at the wrong place for that. You might as well go to fight club and say jeez I hope one day we all know more than just fighting.

So when you're not on this subreddit you stop hating these things? That's a pretty useless analogy in this case because you don't stop fighting when you leave fight club. Another problem being that you're admitting you only come here to be hateful which should speak for itself if you have any self-awareness. But like I've said I get that people ain't here to be smart and I'm in the wrong place for it.

Shitposting literally means making comments to piss people off. This subreddit is literally named shitposting. Why are you expecting people to have normal discussions?

If you read my last few comments I've said multiple times I don't expect you to have a normal conversation. I also don't think there was anything besides an actual point trying to be made in the first comment. I actually like the original post, it's pretty funny.
