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 youā€™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 cutā€™nā€™paste it into its own post ā€” thereā€™s no quota for posting and the bar really isnā€™t that high.

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many ā€œesotericā€ right wing freaks, but thereā€™s no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iā€™m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged ā€œculture criticsā€ who write about everything but understand nothing. Iā€™m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyā€™re inescapable at this point, yet I donā€™t see them mocked (as much as they should be)

Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnā€™t be surgeons because they didnā€™t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canā€™t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

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

    Iā€™m not going to link Andy Ngo but random rationalist transwomen are being accused of terror sympathyā€¦and Aella is doing this ā€˜leopards ate my faceā€™ dance.

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

      tbh I donā€™t understand this post at all. aella isnā€™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 Iā€™m seeing on twitter that maybe isnā€™t worth a link). she was actually complaining that people had gone to Ngo.

      Goddammit why canā€™t the murder cult story just stay morbidly fascinating? Now Iā€™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: whatā€™s a good way to post links to music that isnā€™t youtube?

      i donā€™t think itā€™s the first time i see jessicata acting like a total piece of shit in her completely emotionless way and itā€™s incredibly creepy. she doesnā€™t even seem to be aware of the harm she can cause.
