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.

Oh look, it's a penis! I should put some sort of ring around it and see what gets it slightly erect! Repeatedly! For science!
You know, what I find most hilarious about the "fraternal birth order effect" is that they're so obsessed with eugenics and biological essentialism that they're ignoring that the very very obvious social fact of growing up with older brothers might have a lil bit more of an effect than "maternal antibodies to the neuroligin NLGN4Y protein".
edit: Oh right, they pretend they're accounting for that! Yeah no, I've heard all about your "twin studies" and things, I'm not joining your cult.
