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 bikeshed should be RED!

      Lol Edit (emp mine): ā€œWe need to remove the Godot branding from everything to differentiate this from Godot. For starters we can change the default IDE theme. I think a dark theme with red accents would make sense. Godot is associated with cooler colors, so warmer colors seem good.ā€

      Of course black with red. The engine for edgy 17 year olds. (I wanted to make a joke about Razer gaming peripherals here, but looks like they switched mostly to rainbows and greens, damn wokes!)

        Apologies for crappy nitpicking on my part, but 4chan millennials really gotta learn to let go of impact font.

        Oh HELL no thatā€™s the same editor theme Iā€™m using. How do I cast a spell to banish these people

        It was some Adobe-style theme I downloaded a long time ago but I guess Iā€™m using the anti-woke theme now

      I want to pull quotes from that thread but itā€™s so satisfying in context to see the most toxic parts of a gaming community turn on each other

      and dear god are those some ugly fucking logos. my favorite is the one thatā€™s just Redot Engine with a ridiculously overbearing letter R (not gonna repost them here for obvious trademark reasons ā€” Iā€™ve got the feeling these fellas might not have that part figured out)
