Feel like you want to sneer about something but you donā€™t quite have a snappy post in you? 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, thereā€™s no quota here 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.

    It you search sneerclub on twitter you might find it. Apparently the Dreher thing indicates psychopathy (how they play the ā€˜bullied nerdā€™ trope again and again is fascinating to me).

        Tweeting about penises every few days. More seriously: his mental health is way not good and heā€™s going full woo.

            My favorite part was the ex-boyfriend revelations. Also the one picture of twinkRod - he looks like a Lost Boys extra i swear to god.

              OK thanks all for the updates. I was aware of most of them. Itā€™s been quiet around him in the venues I frequent. Iā€™d like to think itā€™s because most people recognize heā€™s not well and itā€™s punching down to make fun of him.
