It pains me to know that even if my post-post-post-post-post ironic shitposting career lasts until I die of old age I will never manage to concoct any single piece of nonsense that is as fricking funny as what this person just wrote with complete sincerity.

Sometimes I wonder what it'd be like to go deep cover at a rag like Salon and write the most ridiculous progressive shlock I could conceive of just to push the limits of what they're willing to publish. It'd be pretty funny if you earned a respected reputation in progressive journo circles based entirely on a body of work written completely ironically.

They'd have to twist themselves into pretzels trying to make excuses why your work is still valid, like when that guy presented a paper that was created with the Postmodernism generator and people apparently couldn't tell there was anything wrong with it.

My official opinion is right here. To me, G*mergate was simply an experiment in manipulating groupthink to achieve political results. When that worked much better than expected, the next logical experiment was to turn the dials up as high as they could go and see if I could start a religion.

Yes, except g*mers were the Weaver family and obnoxious woke feminists were the FBI.

I'm in awe about how hard I've been outjerked. Look at this high IQ tryhard with actually interesting and coherent blogposts, instead of awful half-baked text dumps that usually have several unfinished paragraphs littered within. (https://itsnotmyfault01.medium.com/ or https://itsnotmyfault.substack.com/p/a-review-of-ruha-benjamins-race-after?s=w if you wanna snoop around, but not much is there.)

A dude exposes his "famous" ex as a manipulative abuser and literally every journo to this day refuses to acknowledge and calls him the abuser. The b-word ran off with 85k in Kickstarter money and they just pretend it never happened. Sounds like a weird cult.

Ironically G*merGate did expose a generation of nerds to just how willing the media are to lie whenever it suits them. That spark of anti-establishment populism is very much the press's own doing.

Unironically G*mergate led to the radicalization of a generation of men. So many guys were content to just sit around playing video games and not caring about politics, when suddenly they all learned that journ*lists are evil and that the establishment hates them. The most rightoid demographic could have been left completely uninvolved in politics, but women and minorities just had to come and get involved in video games and then g*mers elected Trump as revenge.
