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: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh facts of 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.

        Iā€™ve never had the full on ā€œletā€™s be nazis togetherā€ invite but Iā€™ve had several people launch unprompted into ā€œnow that itā€™s just us white folks we can talk for realā€ mode. internally they must have been like ā€œI see white skin, we are clear for takeoff, 54321ā€

        funnily enough it hasnā€™t happened since I became visibly trans

          those particular south africans apparently made perth in particular a fucking delight of genteel racism in the late 90s

          tho they didnā€™t particularly change the nature of it
