I feel sheepish saying it but I wish even these obvious fakes were marked as parody in tiny little font somewhere

Yeah without it at a certain point they start giving cover for the heinous shit he actually says and advocates for.
A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Which is exactly what i’ve argued a hundred times.
A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 1 year ago
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.
Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
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.
brbposting@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
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

Watermark stretching the whole image
Otherwise someone will just remove it
brbposting@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
I went a different route, though I avoided placing the callout somewhere it may be accidentally cropped.
I hope the, uh, non-disinformation can have a simple start here, and if we’re big enough some day that kind of thing is a problem maybe we re-adjust. Of course, nothing stopping someone from recreating something to their less-scrupulous heart’s delight. (in the case someone is re-creating something to intentionally mislead, not re-creating based on their expectations of people’s knowledge and BS meters)
Ahh just can’t wait for the proliferation of high-quality generated videos…

There are two big reasons why this picture is incomplete (that provide supple context to OP’s post.

It’s funny because his sister looks like someone gender bent him and gave him a proper skin care routine
Delphia@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I mean, in fairness Ben Shapiros looks are possibly the least offensive thing about literally everything else about him.
LodeMike@lemmy.today 1 year ago
Yeah

He’s a Nazi tho, so he’s not
zerog_bandit@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Do y’all just call anyone you disagree with Nazis now? Seems a bit Russian to me.
Zwiebel@feddit.org 1 year ago
Nazis can be christian

Dear lord, please smite twitter and all on it so that we may be cleansed from the unholy content it exposes us to 👏😔

You can only use stalker memes if you make a stalker community. Best political discourse ever, fight me.
LodeMike@lemmy.today 1 year ago
I don’t understand
MehBlah@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Ben the perv assuming everyone else is a perv as well.
LodeMike@lemmy.today 1 year ago
Im pretty sure this isn’t real.
Infynis@midwest.social 1 year ago
But it’s clearly from a Verified™ Account!
hk_a@lemmy.world 1 year ago
How sure, exactly?

fuck ben shapino but also this is relevant
Amir@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
Tbh that’s right wing rhetoric. “It doesn’t matter that it’s factually false, it’s enough that it could be true”
HRDS_654@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’s really not that deep.
xenoclast@lemmy.world 1 year ago
"It’s funny because it’s ‘relatable’ "
HRDS_654@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I don’t know about relatable, but it does speak to Ben’s personality that so many people thought this was real.
blindbunny@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
This dude thinks all the pornhub titles are real doesn’t he?
Malfeasant@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Every accusation is a confession…
umbraroze@lemmy.world 1 year ago
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
LordWiggle@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Talking about exerting control over impulses and the impulse to post this shit.
AWittyUsername@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Sounds like he’s speaking from experience of both scenarios.
kelargo@lemmy.world 1 year ago
WTF😬
criss_cross@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Pretty sure this is when Twitter let everyone buy checkmarks so you had a lot of tweets like this.
LodeMike@lemmy.today 1 year ago
That’s what I said.
Prethoryn@lemmy.world 1 year ago
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?
LodeMike@lemmy.today 1 year ago
It’s fake
MajesticSloth@lemmy.world 1 year ago
That’s the great thing about fake tweets from Ben. They all still feel like they could be real.
III@lemmy.world 1 year ago
In defense of the the guy you replied to, the Ben Shapiro types aren’t exactly known for NOT being into their sisters.
DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 year ago
You can’t prove it’s not real
EatATaco@lemm.ee 1 year ago
“omg americans are so stupid”
While falling for a painfully fake tweet.
Anti_Face_Weapon@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’m disappointed with how many people are falling for this
FelixCress@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Oddlyspecific
LodeMike@lemmy.today 1 year ago
Yes that’s the joke. It’s funny making fun of right wingers :)))
FelixCress@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The obvious issue is that it is like taking candy from a baby. They are not developed enough to defend themselves. 😁

Well, I’ve just learned more about his search history and interests.

I hate myself for crushing on him so hard
LodeMike@lemmy.today 1 year ago
Pardon?
zerog_bandit@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Just thinking about him spitting in my mouth and calling me an abomination before God makes me flush.
SuddenDownpour@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
My condolences.

Poe’s Law is hitting hard in these comments, but for good reason I suppose.

FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 1 year ago
Such a plausible thing for him to say I didn't even question it.
Gork@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I want to believe
FatTony@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It doesn’t even have to be plausible to be funny. Anything read in his goblin voice is funny.
“Let’s say for the sake of this argument in a theoretical hole, under the ground, there lived let’s say a hobbit…”
ArbiterXero@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I literally came to the comments to find out if it was real or not.
Because quite frankly, I would probably believe either way .
db2@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I wouldn’t believe he’d have stopped there.

Like the others, I didn’t think it was fake.
This is the guy who doesn’t think aroused women have wet vaginas after all.

Hey @LodeMike@lemmy.today - loved the post.
After sharing my concerns and receiving affirmation feedback, I have made a very small edit to this image.

I’m not much of an “/s” guy, but I think these six letters (parody) can avoid misleading without ruining the fun :)
some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 1 year ago
We don’t need shit like that around here. Conservative / christofascist fucks say enough things that we can malign. Don’t make shit up unless it’s impossible for someone to misperceive as real.
