M comment reads like rejected dialogue for Danny DeVito's Penguin.
In typical DannyDeVito's fashion, you shift blame for being DannyDeVito to others
...
Wait! Guys, DannyDeVito has alt on Codex! He's been shitposting with us since 5th of January, this year. For some odd reason he likes Oblivion much. Maybe cause its character creation is so robust he can replicate himself with it. Would pay good money to see his Let'sPlay
Case Study: The Wall
Only through observing otherness can we generate the concept of self. Extrapolating, from our very first moments of consciousness, people are aware that all knowledge derives from allegory.
You see the dark, and understand it is a place without light. You touch a hot stove, and gauge the difference in feeling; no pain versus pain. You hear the innumerable mocking voices of your peers, seniors, and even juniors, and thus thoroughly humiliated, you understand your lot in life is approximately at the bottom of the pecking order. These particular results of learning through allegory -- darkness, pain, and crippling humiliation -- dominate The Wall's life. His experiment in differentiating otherness has shown that his existence contains no light, no respite from pain, and no doubt concerning his position in the bottom .01th percentile of human quality.
In a desperate and likely unintentional cry for help, his name, portrait, and comments display the decrepit and warped state of his subconscious to all members of the Codex.
Words are archetypes; they create the basic gestalt from which we build more complex schemas. A table is a table. We can further understand this table by describing it as wooden, painted red, wobbly, etc. When we actively name something using words that already exist, we attach the gestalts those words have to this new entity, thus creating new meaning. The Wall named himself The Wall. Let's dissect this name. The -- imparts singularity and definitiveness. Wall -- imparts a physical barrier designed to keep things out or within its structure. Why would a man refer to himself as The Wall?
The: He sees himself as solitary and definitive, like an outcast, a black sheep.
Wall: Reinforcing the concept of "The," he sees himself as separate from others, as if he were unable to cross a physical barrier to reach normal people.
How we present ourselves in the real world indicates how we view ourselves in context. If you go on a date, then you dress in a way you think will sexually appeal to your companion. If you go on an interview, you will dress in a way that you think will demonstrate your quality as a prospective employee. If you set a portrait on the RPG Codex, then you select one that represents your intended contribution to the Codex. The Wall chose Vernon Roche -- an exiled rebel, constantly fighting a losing war to invaders from without and traitors from within. Yet again, The Wall practically screams at the Codex that he is an outsider -- an exile, even -- and that he expects nothing but conflict, or pain, from those within and without the Codex.
And finally, his content. The Wall maniacally stalks my Oblivion-related posts and invents fantasies about recieving oral sex from my fictional daughter. Is this a thinly veiled request? "Please, HarveyBirdman, bear fruit that will give me human connection and pleasure rather than dark exile and pain!" Indeed, this verbiage seems close to if not precisely on the mark. What, you need further evidence? Consider The Wall's bizarre insistence on combining Danny DeVito's name into a single word (DannyDeVito), or in other words, the union of man and man. Not only is The Wall tortuously self-aware of his general inadequacy as a (presumably) bipedal hominid, he also is a barely closeted homosexual, pining for affection from any man, even if he were to look like DeVito himself. What's more, The Wall even indicates in no uncertain terms that he would pay for video of this "DannyDeVito," this man within a man. Is there no low to which The Wall will stoop to fill the void within his soul? No, scratch that remark; it was cruel of me to draw further attention to the fact that The Wall could not conceivably descend to any lower depth than the one he inhabits currently.
With heavy heart, I bring these revelations to the Codex's attention. Speak not too harshly to The Wall. Whether he intended to or or not, The Wall has borne his twisted nature to us all. The least we can do is respect the sad circumstance of his existence, and allow him to play out his sad Internet LARP as a person who at least sits a single notch above the bottom .01% of human value.
