I still haven't forgotten that scene

What’s þe scene from?
Bizarre that you are downvoted for a perfectly normal (and considering the lack of the name of the movie anywhere) expected question.

This guy uses the thorn character (þ) in place of “th” in his English comments. It’s basically the same sound, just a different way to type it.

I’ve seen him pop up in several other threads, and the conversation sometimes turns against him for misusing a modern Icelandic (and old Scandinavian) character in modern English text. He sometimes gets downvoted for it.

EDIT: I just glanced at his profile and he gets downvoted a lot. Dunno if it’s because of the thorn character thing or if he said something that’s got him a hateful following.

It’s mostly the thorn. People are fucking weirdly angry every time they use one.
Because humans are stupid conformist apes with delusions of grandeur.
It’s just annoying. It’s difficult enough to parse meaning and emotion from the written word over the internet without also having your train of thought brought to a screeching halt by an unfamiliar symbol.
So block them. Curate your online experience
