Oh yeah, I guess Emiru is doing this now too huh. Too many to keep track of. This one's TheBackgroundNPC.
right, ok, that's a new one. great. they're multiplying. yeah this post is definitely about the ongoing "emiru controversy." and as i noted in my top level comment, this was instigated by her head mod and her irl best friend appears by all accounts to be the roach himself so. yeah, i really like your take that people aren't prepared for the coming glut of outright soy-nazis with silly fairy light rooms doing moldy agitprop in a squishmallow, soft voice aesthetic.
Yeah, they gotta' keep reinventing their presentation of themselves and their ideas because non-reactionaries wisen up to it and reactionaries in their quest for cruelty need something new or more extreme to sate themselves.
I've noticed more right-wing youtubers are stealing the breadtube aesthetic and avoiding the angry "I HATE FEMINISTS" presentation to fake being pseudo-intellectuals or at least 'normal'. I guess the tell on those is gunna' be "the studies they cite are fake or don't say what they claim they do" but IDK.
i think these days the appeal to "common sense" has gotten more common than attempting to cite fake studies.
Non-reactionaries, I think, have caught on to the "common sense" rhetoric.
Edit: like, if a guy puts "i believe in common sense" in his dating profile most women are going to clock his politics pretty quickly, I think.
