        What do they imply?

        I know that these stories are often accused of being fake, but I guess I don’t understand the context of the response. It seems like the responder is saying “go to the doctor regardless of whether you actually have a problem requiring a doctor.” Which I guess could be good advice in some circumstances, but … Maybe I’m just taking things too literally.

        Thanks for the answer!

          It’s just how a quote reply works on 4chan but the meaning has expanded.

          Edit: as in, instead of quoting the actual comment I reply to, I summarize it as “implying ____”
