Need to make a primal scream without gathering 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!

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.

    Blood and Thunder, Victory at Sea, (ā€¦), Scented Candles

    Iā€™m sorry what is any of this. Iā€™m scared to click any of the things since I canā€™t even comprehend the content warning.

      Sorry! I leaned too hard on the inside jokes. Oglaf is a pretty successful fantasy-themed web comic with adult humor. Itā€™s nothing youā€™d need therapy to get over, though it has more nudity than youā€™d want your boss to notice if they walked by your desk.

      ā€œBlood and Thunderā€ was heavily memed around a dozen years ago.

        Iā€™ve been around internet enough to expect ā€œScented Candlesā€ to be some insanely disgusting psychosexual performance art, notā€¦ literal fucking candles.
