You may as well ask why child porn cappers spend all day sitting on their computers and phones trying to catfish children. They do it because of an autistic inability to live normal fulfilling lives. Rather than go out and live their own authentic lives in the moment, they develop an obsession with capturing other people's personal moments. The juicier and more personal the better. Then they get together with other obsessed whoreders to combine their collections. In much the same way that some BCers download every video when they find a youtube channel featuring boys, some post cappers spend a sick amount of time daily downloading and organizing anything related to their autistic obsessions. Say "no" all you like, but they aren't going to listen to you any more than the child porn cappers are going to stop trying to capture children's personal moments. Any shred of empathy for the lives that their collections impacts melts away with the feeling of power that they feel when they imagine catching a permabanned former poster by comparing their word usage to the words used by a new poster. Of course you are perceptive to recognize the feelings of power and control a law enforcement agent would get when they infiltrate the capper's corner or groom the cogs into giving them access to the off-line archive. Sadly the only thing we can do is not be ourselves anywhere near BC and if we see someone sharing juicy stories we need to warn them of the dangers of doing so on the permanent record. While the post cappers warn every new poster not to communicate with anyone off board, the compassionate BCer should be recommending that people not post anything at all personal to BC, saving the personal talk for their personal friends that they talk to off board and out of sight. |
