  • I call it bait entirely because of its audience: it’s posted to r/Conservatives.

    Satire should be perceivable by its intended audience, such that the audience will interact and enjoy it on that meta-level. The expected audience of that subreddit isn’t looking for coded messages to unionize. Unless this post was made entirely for the enjoyment of progressive lurkers, which is not as reasonable to assume.

    Just by proximity of thoughts you are aligning Silksong with a “school play” which is purposely and unquestionably inaccurate. What about the execution of Silksong strikes you as amateur or childish?

    At least compare two performances made by people the same ages, if you’re going to feign a reasonable comparison.





  • It’s this exact point for me. “Antifascist” is being taken at face value and simultaneously being tarred as antisocial rhetoric. What the actual fuck has gone on? If the belief that “antifascist” is a cover or a dogwhistle, then shouldn’t you attempt to separate their political orientation away from those words? “They aren’t antifascist. They are political dissidents claiming all of their political enemies are ‘fascists’.”

    Instead, we have: “No, they ARE antifascists and they are our enemies!” Why did we let them stigmatize the word “antifascist”?
