I don't think I have much problem with it, but I can see how it could be a problem for a lot of people. I'm a very emotional naturally, and 4chan and the internet in general have been quite a rollercoaster for me. Recently, I'm generally on the side of emotionless, but I don't feel it's right. I don't like it, but I can go either way at will, so I don't see much problem with it. It may also have something to do with a fear of showing emotions, due to the culture (irl and on the internets) being so anti-emotion.
Getting irritated with people or animals wanting attention is an interesting side effect. I've got to the point I just "don't have time" for others nearly as as much as before, even through some amount of loneliness. Seems to me if you went too far in that direction, it would be a very lonely life. Especially since in my experience less emotional people tend to be less patient with others and get irritated and abrasive with them more easily.
Imo, it's quite a phenomenon and one little thread on 4chan isn't nearly enough to do it justice.
