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 cut’n’paste it into its own post, there’s no quota for posting and the bar really isn’t that high
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
I mean I like the idea behind it is amusing enough – Harry Potter but magical science evil mastermind (he’s uh supposed to be a bad guy in the story right?).
Everyone wants to read about that sort of stuff it’s why Death Note was so popular.
But HPMOR just never really went anywhere with any of it and was too superficial and it’s only really interesting for as long as the reader fails to notice that.
he sold on the big promise, got bored, started up again writing Ender’s Game But Shit, got bored again and finally finished it technically.
