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 you’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 cut’n’paste it into its own post — there’s no quota for posting and the bar really isn’t that high.

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)

Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

(Semi-obligatory thanks to @dgerard for starting this.)

    I’m not going to link Andy Ngo but random rationalist transwomen are being accused of terror sympathy…and Aella is doing this ‘leopards ate my face’ dance.

    edit: it was @jessi_cata who tipped Ngo off of all people.

      tbh I don’t understand this post at all. aella isn’t trans so why would she be a target for leopards? I must be misinterpreting

        thats just me trying to use an unfamiliar meme (and just trying to narrate what I’m seeing on twitter that maybe isn’t worth a link). she was actually complaining that people had gone to Ngo.

      Goddammit why can’t the murder cult story just stay morbidly fascinating? Now I’ve got to worry about implications and how the worst people are gonna use this as ammo.

      Ok you brought aella up so now I can post this:

      Heard this song for the first time the other day and it reminded me of aella.

      side note: what’s a good way to post links to music that isn’t youtube?

      i don’t think it’s the first time i see jessicata acting like a total piece of shit in her completely emotionless way and it’s incredibly creepy. she doesn’t even seem to be aware of the harm she can cause.
