    This isn’t real. It’s decent satire on these two idiots but don’t pass it off as real.

      I thought that was obvious.

        I haven’t really been enforcing it due to most of this whole community being fake content but the community DOES have a rule about labeling content as fake.

        In the future if you could add “[fake]” in the title or something in the description I would appreciate it.

        Edit: Apparently, despite making a pinned post about the rules over a year ago… I’d never actually put them in the sidebar? ADHD is real…

        Anyway from this point forward I would appreciate it if fake tweets/videos like this were labeled as such just to not get caught in the spreading of misinformation.

          Does the [fake] tagging apply only to things like tweets and such? Or do “If the earth is round, why is my map flat? CURIOUS!” style parodies need to be tagged too? I imagine the actual examples of the latter template are so few and far between that the [fake] tag is unnecessary, whereas with tweets and the like you never quite know when the fascists du jour are spouting inane shite. But I’ll abide by whatever the rule is decided to be.

            Only fake tweets and such. The whole community is dedicated to parodies of the face format so those are by default fake.

            There are instances where a real tweet might be brought into the discussion in the community though so marking those as fake/real is an important distinction.

            Edit: with this post as an example, Ben Shapiro has already unironically and really openly said that he can’t get his wife wet… It’s not far fetched for him to have a discussion about women not enjoying sex with him.

          You could use a less charged, judgemental term like [satire]. Fake implies someone is trying to fool you. No one is being deceived, this is just how frigging humour works.

        Poe’s Law applies, I think. I get the whole community premise is satire but it sounds like people in this thread and on other sites are eating this onion.

        I’m not concerned about misrepresenting these dickheads so much as distractions from real issues.

          This isn’t political discourse. This is entertainment and emotional expression. It isn’t a weapon in the culture war and it isn’t obliged to represent reality.

    Gotta love the self dunk of being bad at sex and hinting he is cuck.

    Ben: “So to me it is obvious my wife acts like she enjoys sex with her boyfriend as a form of radical feminist power move. She is truly lost.”
