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.

      I’m not a native english speaker, how else was he supposed to pronounce it?

        I think the most common would be “roh-koh”, I could also see a front-o accentuated form being used

        that flat “rocko” as in the vid was one I wouldn’t have thought to hear

          That just sounds incredibly British to me.

          When I clicked the video I fully expected Rocko with a c to mean Rosko.

            I’m pretty sure you’re only allowed to have that discussion if you’re a Metal Gear villain. Which despite his best efforts Roko does not have enough dramatic presence or raw drip for.
