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 youāll 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 cutānāpaste it into its own post ā thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many āesotericā right wing freaks, but thereās no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyāre inescapable at this point, yet I donāt see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnāt be surgeons because they didnāt believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canāt escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this.)
Youāve actually pretty much got it. Thereās the wellness to fascism pipeline, which includes seed-oil-phobia and beef-tallow-philia. The biggest proponent right now is likely the current US secretary of health and human services RFK jr., who in a recent interview at a steak and shake decried seed oils in favour of beef tallow.
I donāt actually think thereās much of a hyper-masculine angle to it, but wouldnāt be surprised if Iām wrong. I think the manosphere would be more into eating meat that needs to be hunted. I donāt look much at that part of the internet.
More discussion at a.s here
I feel like Iāve seen chud weirdos ranting about seed oils suppressing testosterone levels, but I could be hallucinating
Iād believe it! I donāt spend much time looking at the specifics of chud weirdo discourse, but that definitely sounds like something theyād pull out of their ass.
