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: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh facts of 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.
me talking to someone after describing a dumb and horrible LW thing:
one of the worse things about LW is that even just explaining their beliefs to uninvolved people makes you look like a complete weirdo
Iāve (irl) met a āpart-timeā LW reader and tried to have a conversation about some of the shit, and ā¦ same experience
just utterly had no ability to even receive the information about the longstanding sexual abuse or statements of yud being a charisma-for-nerds grifter
(had an earlier conversation with āem some many months prior calling out many of issues in coiner world after theyād gone laser-eyes having read the bitcoin paper, and they eventually got their head out of their ass, soā¦. Iām hopeful itās not all lost yet)
Well the FFVII house was kinda like a rationalist grouphouseā¦
wait. Youāre telling me a poly nest based on FF7 fandom exist(s/ed)? And I wasnāt part of it?!?!?!

thatās a big oof for me dawg
as a former member of multiple livejournal fanfic circlejerks, I am so sad that LW didnāt join the rest of LJ in (1) getting off or (2) being mean on fandom_wank, and instead decided to create the torment nexus.
i expect dreamwidth took one look and Denise got out the flamethrower
hahaha no failfandomanon is extremely at Dreamwidth, but I think the wankiest people mostly moved to other places in recent years.
