There are a lot of people that do not have an internal monologue going, and thus do not ever really do introspection unless prompted. This isn’t just a chud phenomena, liberals and leftist do it to (though leftists far less ime, as to become a leftist in the U.S. usually requires a lot of introspection). They don’t move on because it doesn’t occur to them that they should move on. Hell at this point they are probably more focused on the drama around the media than the media itself. They are consuming more media about media, than primary media.
Because then they have to accept the loss and temporality of that feeling and time in their life and that’s a scary/depressing thought for some people.
That’s a good explanation. But why are chuds so stuck in the past? Why can’t they move on and just watch something that makes them happy?

I think maybe nothing could make them happy?
