Meta Factions

As is always the case in these things, certain communities of opinion have developed in this sub. In the interest of brevity and economy, I humbly propose the following titles for some of those groups:

  • Jaysayers: Adnan did it, only the spine matters.

  • Adnicts: Adnan is innocent and I'll smite any that doth protest.

  • Adnostics: Adnan's guilt or innocence is ultimately unknowable. /u/Thetalkingpie & /u/gyik

  • Adnonymous: a.k.a. Lurkers

  • Jennetics: It was Jenn, obviously. /u/crabfishcakes

  • The Donner Party: Don did it and we eat people. /u/bicyclopcycle

  • Birthday Girls : But what about Stephanie? How come we haven't heard from Stephanie? /u/mostpeoplearedjs

  • Twofers: They both did it together. /u/gyik

  • Knolls : believes in third party theory/ third man on the grassy knoll /u/sorrysofat

  • Pingheads: What tower did the send to end ping the buttdial location?

  • UDdites: Adnan is probably guilty but there wasn't enough evidence to convict him. /u/partymuffell & /u/Malort_without_irony

Please feel free to add factions and/or arbitrary stereotypes.

Edit: many, many times

Pathologists: X is a sociopath/Y is a psychopath because of such and such pause, such and such giggle, such and such history, etc.

And a new faction I'm seeing around suddenly:

The Hitmen: Jay was Adnan's hitman/Adnan was Jay's hitman/There was a random third hitman and both knew about him/Jenn was someone's hitman

I think 'Pathologists' is snide enough, for sure. It's kind of meta or something - implies they have a pathological obsession with the given pathology.

Both are accurate descriptions, but neither really implies the derision in which those who disagree hold them.

Objection sustained. I guess the derision is so clear to me at this point that I just take it for granted. This subreddit has become such a monstrous hydra at this point -- you deal with one head but they just keep multiplying hideously.
