Need to let loose a primal scream without collecting footnotes first? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful youāll near-instantly regret.
Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.
If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cutānāpaste it into its own post ā thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many āesotericā right wing freaks, but thereās no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyāre inescapable at this point, yet I donāt see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnāt be surgeons because they didnāt believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canāt escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
(Taking over for Gerard this time. Special thanks to him for starting this.)
Also, was the old messaging exchange thatās been getting some attention sources to āMILOā as in Milo āmaybe if Iām hateful enough theyāll ignore that Iām gayā Yanniwhatever?
Yes Nero is that Milo. The reactionary who tried the whole āIām going to troll the liberals by being gay and objectifying black men lol, ow god why are yall trying to eat my faceā guy. Last I heard he is ex gay now. Massive pos, but also turns out that a lot of things he wrote in the before times were actually ghostwritten by others, others who he then didnāt pay (because pos (Sidenote, but it amazes me how many of them simply donāt pay employees/contractors (I assume their dealers do get paid))).
You know, I feel like heās still breaking down barriers because Iāve never heard of a straight man being that much of a messy bitch.
But internalized homophobia aside the fact that theyāre so frequent in failing to pay their hired help really puts the lie to the libertarian side of their ideology. Even if you and I in particular have too much pride and sense to work with them they never seem to have issues finding someone to take the risk, meaning that *someone is getting exploited into make the lifestyles of the rich and famous possible.
also often double whammies with the predation thing (finding those down on their luck who just really need something, fucking over early-career people, etc)
