Need to make a primal scream without gathering 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!

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.

    re your edit, well furry art could be traced back to the creator of the art/or the person who commissioned it, so using AI shit for opsec isnā€™t totally strange.

      thatā€™s one possible reason, yeah. just seems like a really odd choice ā€“ much like the fact that they dislike ā€œcrypto promotionā€ but still accept payment for secrets in crypto. doesnā€™t feel like it would be that hard to find a sympathetic furry artist willing to draw in a nondistinct style or keep work under wraps. idk

      the only reason it seems odd to me is that the overwhelming majority of furries either actively dislike or hate ā€œai artā€. maybe theyā€™re the odd ones out, or they just donā€™t care for a throwaway group
