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 youā€™ll 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 cutā€™nā€™paste it into its own post ā€” thereā€™s no quota for posting and the bar really isnā€™t that high.

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many ā€œesotericā€ right wing freaks, but thereā€™s no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iā€™m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged ā€œculture criticsā€ who write about everything but understand nothing. Iā€™m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyā€™re inescapable at this point, yet I donā€™t see them mocked (as much as they should be)

Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnā€™t be surgeons because they didnā€™t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canā€™t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

Last weekā€™s thread

    The coupleā€™s long conversations about transgender people havenā€™t gotten as much attention, with just 2,500 views on a video in which they ā€œexplore the fine line between genuine gender dysphoria and the allure of a ā€˜trans cultā€™ that may lead non-trans individuals to make life-altering decisions.ā€

    Oh boy an hour long video about how the trans are transing eachother as part of a trans cult!

    But why arenā€™t they concerned about kids being tricked into the life altering decision of being an ā€œanti-wokeā€ podcaster? šŸ¤”

    Edit ā€“ made it through most of that video (how??) and itā€™s a bunch of reaching and fear mongering while trying to sound like principled conservatives. The funniest part was probably them blaming anime avatars for trans people.

    Edit ā€“ just kidding the funniest part was the guy calling trans people the ā€œpriest classā€ of urbanism. Worship me and I shall bless you with seperated bicycle lanes and bountiful farmers markets!

      holy fuck, Iā€™ve seen anti-trans accounts on mastodon spew this same shit and Iā€™m kind of surprised itā€™s a wider conservative conspiracy theory and not something local to mastodon

      leftists donā€™t go to church on Sundays, they just trans themselves and then bikeshed about bike sheds

        I think Blanchard started with this one. If you needed more proof the guy is an absolute case of brain worms.
