I would be real disappointed if that was true
Also, why are pronouns bad when we do it?
Yeah and you see a lot of stuff that’s like, in one of the first news threads we were in someone was like, “Just bring up Tiananmen Square, that’ll make 'em go away,” (and get absolutely dogpiled) and today I saw someone post that copypasta with the Chinese characters that’s supposed to dispel Chinese bots or agents, and it’s like, those things never work. They have to know they never work. It really is just an article of faith, it’s clutching your beads and repeating a mantra until the demons leave you alone.
I guess they technically work in a sense. Like yeah, if someone goes:
“Tinyman square yogurt genocide checkmate tankies.”
Yeah, I’ll probably just leave them alone. They aren’t worth talking to.
Though it is the internet debate equivalent of shitting your pants to get everyone else to leave the room. They just don’t understand how they aren’t actually “winning” so much as they are “not worth wasting time interacting with.”
