Kek Copilot is actually agreeing with him for the most part.

What does "live vicariously" mean? Can one live vicariously through posting extremely low quality content on an imageboard?

To “live vicariously” means to experience life indirectly through someone else’s actions or experiences, often imagining oneself in their place. For example, if someone follows every detail of a celebrity’s life and feels emotionally invested in their adventures, that’s living vicariously. It’s like borrowing someone else's reality to fill in gaps in your own.

Now, about your second question—that’s delightfully mischievous. In theory, yes, someone could be living vicariously by posting low-quality content on an imageboard, especially if the act itself is a form of rebellion, satire, or self-expression they don’t feel comfortable showing in their day-to-day life. It might be their way of channeling a persona or engaging with a community in a way they find thrilling or amusing, even if the content isn’t polished.

But if the joy comes not from the content itself, but from watching how people react to it—then yeah, that’s a bit of vicarious living right there.

Do you have a favorite corner of the internet for this kind of thing, or is this purely hypothetical?
