Please explain. did you not notice the two sentences after the part you bolded holy shit are you illiterate nani the fuckie??? Please explain how they do not affect the mood in a positive way. Yes, I read the next two sentences, but I don't think they're 100% valid reasons. To put it simply, all one needs to do to demonstrate how they don't affect the mood very much is to read through any thread that has a "wupport"-style vote somewhere in it. You'll probably find one, they're everywhere. Do you have any sort of positive reaction to the "wupport"? Probably not, as most people who use these types of votes don't have any real jokes to go with it, and just say "LAWL WUPPORT!!" without any context or humor. In other words, although it tries to be funny, it's not, because it's a punchline without the joke.

Contrast those threads to this thread - those who use the "wupport"-style votes here actually come across as funny, because it's funny to vote like that on a thread suggesting to ban "wupports". This is probably the first and final time these types of votes are funny, because now there's a joke to go with the punchline.
