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 â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
Which is exactly what iâve argued a hundred times.
A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
You shouldnt feel sheepish about it.
Iâve 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.

Iâd like to apologise now for when, in the future, I place a âparodyâ sticker on a genuine social media post. I know, thereâs something wrong with me⌠but I thought Iâd give you a heads-up about it as you seem pretty reasonable.
brbposting@sh.itjust.works â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
LOL lmk what your psych says about that
When you try it, make sure itâs 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 â¨4⊠â¨months⊠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 weâre 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 heartâs delight. (in the case someone is re-creating something to intentionally mislead, not re-creating based on their expectations of peopleâs knowledge and BS meters)
Ahh just canât wait for the proliferation of high-quality generated videosâŚ

There are two big reasons why this picture is incomplete (that provide supple context to OPâs post.
PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
Itâs funny because his sister looks like someone gender bent him and gave him a proper skin care routine
Delphia@lemmy.world â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
I mean, in fairness Ben Shapiros looks are possibly the least offensive thing about literally everything else about him.
LodeMike@lemmy.today â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
Yeah

zerog_bandit@lemmy.world â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
Do yâall just call anyone you disagree with Nazis now? Seems a bit Russian to me.
Zwiebel@feddit.org â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
Nazis can be christian
BakerBagel@midwest.social â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago

You can only use stalker memes if you make a stalker community. Best political discourse ever, fight me.
LodeMike@lemmy.today â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
I donât understand
MehBlah@lemmy.world â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
Ben the perv assuming everyone else is a perv as well.
LodeMike@lemmy.today â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
Im pretty sure this isnât real.
Infynis@midwest.social â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
But itâs clearly from a Verified⢠Account!

How sure, exactly?

Tbh thatâs right wing rhetoric. âIt doesnât matter that itâs factually false, itâs enough that it could be trueâ
HRDS_654@lemmy.world â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
Itâs really not that deep.

"Itâs funny because itâs ârelatableâ "
HRDS_654@lemmy.world â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
I donât know about relatable, but it does speak to Benâs personality that so many people thought this was real.
blindbunny@lemmy.ml â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
This dude thinks all the pornhub titles are real doesnât he?
Malfeasant@lemmy.world â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
Every accusation is a confessionâŚ
umbraroze@lemmy.world â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
Hey now, you just canât call him âBennyâ out of the blue. His birth name was Benjamin. Thatâs what he should be called. Thatâs exactly according to his own rules heâs espousing. /very sarcastic of course
LordWiggle@lemmy.world â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
Talking about exerting control over impulses and the impulse to post this shit.
AWittyUsername@lemmy.world â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
Sounds like heâs speaking from experience of both scenarios.
kelargo@lemmy.world â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
WTFđŹ
criss_cross@lemmy.world â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
Pretty sure this is when Twitter let everyone buy checkmarks so you had a lot of tweets like this.
LodeMike@lemmy.today â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
Thatâs what I said.
Prethoryn@lemmy.world â¨4⊠â¨months⊠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, âyeah politics and I am an American Republican this guy knows the truth.â Like how did we get to this kind of stupidity?
LodeMike@lemmy.today â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
Itâs fake
MajesticSloth@lemmy.world â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
Thatâs the great thing about fake tweets from Ben. They all still feel like they could be real.
III@lemmy.world â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
In defense of the the guy you replied to, the Ben Shapiro types arenât exactly known for NOT being into their sisters.
DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
You canât prove itâs not real
EatATaco@lemm.ee â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
âomg americans are so stupidâ
While falling for a painfully fake tweet.
Anti_Face_Weapon@lemmy.world â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
Iâm disappointed with how many people are falling for this
FelixCress@lemmy.world â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
Oddlyspecific
LodeMike@lemmy.today â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
Yes thatâs the joke. Itâs funny making fun of right wingers :)))
FelixCress@lemmy.world â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
The obvious issue is that it is like taking candy from a baby. They are not developed enough to defend themselves. đ

Well, Iâve just learned more about his search history and interests.

I hate myself for crushing on him so hard
LodeMike@lemmy.today â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
Pardon?
zerog_bandit@lemmy.world â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
Just thinking about him spitting in my mouth and calling me an abomination before God makes me flush.

StrongHorseWeakNeigh@lemmy.world â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
Fake Ben Shapiro tweets are always hilarious
FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
Such a plausible thing for him to say I didn't even question it.
Gork@lemm.ee â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
I want to believe
FatTony@lemmy.world â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
It doesnât even have to be plausible to be funny. Anything read in his goblin voice is funny.

ArbiterXero@lemmy.world â¨4⊠â¨months⊠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 â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
I wouldnât believe heâd have stopped there.

If there any mods reading through here, I might suggest a rule asking folks to use their best judgment to include a similar indicator in similar circumstances.
Iâm not much of an â/sâ guy, but I think these six letters (parody) can avoid misleading without ruining the fun :)
some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
We donât need shit like that around here. Conservative / christofascist fucks say enough things that we can malign. Donât make shit up unless itâs impossible for someone to misperceive as real.
StrongHorseWeakNeigh@lemmy.world â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
Yeah but itâs funny
