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 usually can’t stand radio-style podcasters but these guys are just too good. The way they play off each other is top notch.

        oh man. I knew the guy was an idiot but hooooo damn he dumb

        also the most of his content I’ve ever taken in, and that was some of the hardest I’ve laughed in a good while

          Oh God, some days later he’s doing it again

          Edit after listening: Content warning for immediate onset transphobia on top of the standard right-wing conspiracy lunacy. Have to try and make it be mean to trans people before we can get to the real “weird nonsense” meat of the interview.
