that's the dude that cheated during a tournament by wearing a connected vibrating butt plug, right?
Bottom right was falsely accused by top left of doing that yes.
Theres no evidence that any cheating actually took place outside of the accusation though.
If 5 million speculative posts on the topic on anarchychess don't count as evidence, then what does?
There is no evidence that the horsey is a real thing either and yet here we are!
I hate that social media removed the line between gossip/rumor and things that really happen.
I hate that people think rumors and gossip are a new invention
There has been a concerted effort to move all human experience deeper into simulacra, like with those news channels using gambling markets instead of polling data now.
I hate rumors and gossip and like complete information games 🥸
what's new is the far right trying to move everyone beyond truth, into a realm where nothing matters and it's fine if the president raped a few girls because a few years ago you heard that his enemies (which he calls stupid names so the idea sticks better) actually did even more evil things something something adrenochrome, and nobody actually knows whether the president is an evil pedophile because there are many stories about many things coming from every side and if they just saturate the media enough with stories a few well timed stories can change major upcoming events and that's how propaganda works now
