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 youāll 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 cutānāpaste it into its own post ā thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many āesotericā right wing freaks, but thereās no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyāre inescapable at this point, yet I donāt see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnāt be surgeons because they didnāt believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canāt escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this. Also, happy April Foolās in advance.)
Update on The Shadiversity Dramatm: heās still malding about being an utterly soulless waste of oxygen:
Now, some of you may be wondering āMonday, how is that AI-generated? That piece actually has a soul!ā Well, as it turns out, it wasnāt AI - Shad quite literally stole someoneās artwork and passed it off as AI.
Ok. Full disclosure. When you said āShadā, I thought you meant a different internet person who is shitty for creating morally degenerate art, so when I read this I thought that they had pivoted to AI and was like, I guess that tracks. But no, different shithead.
Anyway. Bland and uninspired? All actual art is inspired, just by default. If it were truly bland, you wouldnāt be able to discern anything from it, which is just not the case. So Shad isnāt actually giving a valid opinion, heās throwing out an insult, just so that he can elevate AI slop.
Now AI slop, on the other hand, is uninspired and bland. It is uninspired because machines do not have the ability to be inspired. It is bland because it has no intention to be discerned, so contains nothing of substance.
Not that you, under any circumstances, āhave to hand it toā alleged convicted assaulter ShƤdman, but at least he drew his immature shock porn using his own mid artistic skills.
Not to mention he also didnāt write a third-rate rapey-as-shit ādark fantasyā novel, throw nonstop tantrums about people criticising/making fun of him, or jump on the anti-woke content mill grift train.
Just to make this perfectly clear, yes, I am saying that
>shadmanhas more dignity than Shadiversity.Addendum: If you wanna support the artist, she has a Tumblr and a personal portfolio.
