I feel sheepish saying it but I wish even these obvious fakes were marked as parody in tiny little font somewhere
I’d like to apologise now for when, in the future, I place a “parody” sticker on a genuine social media post. I know, there’s something wrong with me… but I thought I’d give you a heads-up about it as you seem pretty reasonable.
LOL lmk what your psych says about that
When you try it, make sure it’s in a domain where there is some chance of starting an international conflict
I was thinking of some (gentle) lazy flaming or trolling but your mention of instigating international conflict has inspired me to better myself and aim higher in life. Thank you.
You’re welcome, Nuclear Noel
You shouldnt feel sheepish about it.
I’ve already seen people using these fake tweets that everything thinks is soooo funny being use to defend and handwave the shit he actually says.
but why use brains and care about common sense when some stupid fucklechuckles get a giggle.
I think its a good start, but also super easy for an asshole to just edit out the (parody) label.
Watermark stretching the whole image
Otherwise someone will just remove it
Yeah without it at a certain point they start giving cover for the heinous shit he actually says and advocates for.
Which is exactly what i’ve argued a hundred times.
I genuinely would not be surprised if half of these are being made by trolls for the explicit purpose of muddying the waters and confusing things to give cover/plausible deniability to what he actually says, since screenshotted tweets have apparently become a medium of information transmission.
Every accusation is a confession…
facts and logic be like /s
I don’t understand
You can only use stalker memes if you make a stalker community. Best political discourse ever, fight me.
This dude thinks all the pornhub titles are real doesn’t he?
What the fuck is he actually talking about? I have no fucking clue how the US is full of people that read this shit and go, “yeah politics and I am an American Republican this guy knows the truth.” Like how did we get to this kind of stupidity?
“omg americans are so stupid”
While falling for a painfully fake tweet.
I’m disappointed with how many people are falling for this
Cuz they want it to be true. They want their “opponents” to be vile creatures so they can claim the moral highground.
Makes it easier to dismiss their arguments.
I don’t see Ben Shapiro as an “opponent”. His weapons-grade bad takes aimed at nothing but to stoke the fires of a culture war simply are vile.
It’s fake
That’s the great thing about fake tweets from Ben. They all still feel like they could be real.
In defense of the the guy you replied to, the Ben Shapiro types aren’t exactly known for NOT being into their sisters.
You can’t prove it’s not real
Oh
now you see it
Now you don’t (the underwear, I mean)
There are two big reasons why this picture is incomplete (that provide supple context to OP’s post).
Poe’s Law is hitting hard in these comments, but for good reason I suppose.
I hate myself for crushing on him so hard
Pardon?
Just thinking about him spitting in my mouth and calling me an abomination before God makes me flush.
You’re a different person
Notopbutok
I think they know that.
My condolences.
Dear lord, please smite twitter and all on it so that we may be cleansed from the unholy content it exposes us to 👏😔
Hey now, you just can’t call him “Benny” out of the blue. His birth name was Benjamin. That’s what he should be called. That’s exactly according to his own rules he’s espousing. /very sarcastic of course
WTF😬
That’s what I said.
Pretty sure this is when Twitter let everyone buy checkmarks so you had a lot of tweets like this.
“… Maybe you steal her underwear a couple times…” No Ben. No we don’t.

fuck ben shapino but also this is relevant
Tbh that’s right wing rhetoric. “It doesn’t matter that it’s factually false, it’s enough that it could be true”
"It’s funny because it’s ‘relatable’ "
I don’t know about relatable, but it does speak to Ben’s personality that so many people thought this was real.
Well, I’ve just learned more about his search history and interests.
