My issue is even if that’s true it kind of doesn’t matter because it’s making the people who are ACTUALLY racist/homophobic/name your bigotry flavor feel comfortable enough to be genuinely horrendous. Fucking with the Overton window like that ain’t cool.

disinformation, deflection and plausible denialability

you can be an outright racist on 4chan … if someone debates you, you can entertain yourself endlessly

if you aren’t a racist … you get to have some fun … and tell everyone you are fake

if you are an actual racist … you get to affirm your deluded beliefs … and tell everyone you are fake

I’m more convinced the majority of crazy posts are by disinformation trolls that plague all social media now.

I simultaneously miss AmITheAsshole and think that it’s almost all either made up for karma farming or people shitposting to make some marginalized group look bad.

Or weird sex stuff. Definitely a lot of it is some person’s weird sex thing.

The toilet seat argument with women. I understand that the toilet seat should be let down, but if I forget. There is no way in hell you should fall in. Most of the time I don’t just let the seat down, but also the lid. No complaints there. How the hell is that any different? Either way you have to look first.
