Need to let loose a primal scream without collecting footnotes first? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful you’ll near-instantly regret.
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.

NASB: GamersNexus just put out a lengthy investigation into NZXT and their predatory practices
Marketing to pre-teen gamers must be like shooting fish in a barrel.
Don’t even need to do much - Stellar Blade threw some fanservice their way and laughed all the way to the bank. Gamers are stupid.
Capital G gamers think they are mega smart and some sort of consumer powerhouse who cannot be scammed, and like a lot of people who think they are too smart to be scammed they fall for everything, preorders, fanservice, horse armor, DLC etc etc it all gets gobbled up like slob, no wonder so many fall for the ragebait.
