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 so 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.
(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this.)
Todayās main character on bluesky (at least from my limited perspective) is somewhat unhinged, possibly due to an excess of chatbot use.

This is such a batshit take Iām not even sure where to start, except that conflating trans rights and āaiā rights cannot end well for anyone, especially given the authorās enthusiastic use of llms themselves.
They even give an unironic shoutout to the basilisk, and if thatās not a sign that someone needs to touch a little more grass I donāt know what is.

Many are contrasting the demand for gay marriage with the demand for human-animal marriage.
Same shit, but the lack of thinking your argument through yourself does fit with being a chatbot-enthusiast.
I feel like the ratio of homophobes to zoophiles making this comparison is a lot more skewed than the ratio of transphobes to promptphiles making the other comparison.
Yikes.
Rude.
Also rude.
Overall the weirdest advertisement Iāve read in awhile.
The āyou had to flee americaā line was aimed at someone who worked hard to get the unite-the-right nazis identified and prosecuted, and left the country for a few years after getting death threats as a result. Windisch also called them a āmilquetoast libā. So it is particularly shitty and rude, and also failed to spot that the person in question has already moved back to the US.
Comparing trans rights to chatbot rights is, and let me use British understatement, not it.
There is a cartoon for behavior like this.
Remember when tracingwoodgrains went after Gerard and said that nobody believes in rokoās B? And how it was unfair to mock them for it?
