Any argument from /r/BanVideoGames is fun lol. People don't realize it's satire and it becomes the funniest part of that subreddit 😂
That sounds promising. What are the odds it’s been taken over by “true believers”? That seems to be the fate of any long-running satire on Reddit. TheDonald, most infamously.
I think some people could think it's not satire but that's because there is a rule saying "we are not satire". Guess what? That rule is satire too
How do you know it is satire in that case?
Because:
They pretend words like Karen or Boomer are slurs
They censor the words g#me, g#mer and videog#me
They say Hitler invented videogames in 1939
Most of their proof is photoshopped images (example)
Most of the users active in that sub are actually also active in gaming subreddits
They call their subreddit a "facebook group"
I refuse to believe TD was ever insincere. I think sane people are just unfamiliar with how willfully stupid fascists sound as a form of cover.
The leader of the KKK refers to themselves as wizards and dragons.
They make themselves look like clowns by design. It's a long-standing tradition among fascists and people still fall for it to this day.
Nothing pisses off people like making fun of their treats, the memes aren't usually even that funny but the reactions are gold
What website are you on lmao? Reddit is constantly mentioned, nearly every instance is majority Reddit refugees, there are Reddit repost bots on multiple instances.
I really don't think you understood me there.
I am mocking your claim that "nobody mentions reddit", those repost bots are definitely not one of the main complaints maybe one of the top 5 or 10 tops, and nobody cares about mentioning reddit stop being a baby.
More clear?
