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.
Iām not much of an ā/sā guy, but I think these six letters (parody) can avoid misleading without ruining the fun :)
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.
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.
Very true. Mentioned this elsewhere someone suggestion a large watermark:
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 weāre 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 heartās delight. (in the case someone is re-creating something to intentionally mislead, not re-creating based on their expectations of peopleās knowledge and BS meters)
Ahh just canāt wait for the proliferation of high-quality generated videosā¦
Iād like to apologise now for when, in the future, I place a āparodyā sticker on a genuine social media post.
I know, thereās something wrong with meā¦ but I thought Iād give you a heads-up about it as you seem pretty reasonable.
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.

Lmao are you really gonna be a Ben Shapiro apologist? Heās an overt ethnosupremacist of the white variety, and is staunchly aligned with the proto-fascist elements of the far right American political spectrum.
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
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?
Such a plausible thing for him to say I didn't even question it.
I want to believe
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..."
Figured Ben would be going a different direction with the theoretical ground holeā¦
I literally came to the comments to find out if it was real or not.
Because quite frankly, I would probably believe either way .
I wouldn't believe he'd have stopped there.
I ate the onion on this one for a second.
Thanks for introducing me to this phrase haha
You got any more :)

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.

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.
Which is exactly what i've argued a hundred times.

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.
You were the change today
I think its a good start, but also super easy for an asshole to just edit out the (parody) label.
Very true. Mentioned this elsewhere someone suggestion a large watermark:

LOL lmk what your psych says about that
When you try it, make sure itās 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.
Youāre welcome, Nuclear Noel
Watermark stretching the whole image
Otherwise someone will just remove it

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).
It's funny because his sister looks like someone gender bent him and gave him a proper skin care routine
I mean, in fairness Ben Shapiros looks are possibly the least offensive thing about literally everything else about him.
Yeah
My brother in christ
Heās Jewish tho, so heās not.
Also, heās a fascist
E: reworded for accuracy
Nazis can be christian
Also Jewish, so no Jesus
Do y'all just call anyone you disagree with Nazis now? Seems a bit Russian to me.
Lmao are you really gonna be a Ben Shapiro apologist? Heās an overt ethnosupremacist of the white variety, and is staunchly aligned with the proto-fascist elements of the far right American political spectrum.
But by all means, check my facts.
I think there was a woosh here
Nah, Zerog is 100% simping for Shapiro. You should see their Shapiro level takes on everything regarding Israel..
It's ironic for you to point out Russians because the only people supporting Russians today are conservatives
Nah, there's also a bunch of "anti-imperialist" leftist tankies too.
Dear lord, please smite twitter and all on it so that we may be cleansed from the unholy content it exposes us to šš
I don't understand
You can only use stalker memes if you make a stalker community. Best political discourse ever, fight me.
Ben the perv assuming everyone else is a perv as well.
Im pretty sure this isn't real.
But it's clearly from a Verifiedā¢ Account!
How sure, exactly?
Are you calling OP a liar?!
Yes. @[email protected] is a fucking lying piece of shit.
Edit: /s
".... Maybe you steal her underwear a couple times..." No Ben. No we don't.Regardless of it being the fake, the fact that so many (including me) thought it was real speaks volumes.
https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/aaaah
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 really not that deep.
"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.
Relatable.. relative.. his sister..
This dude thinks all the pornhub titles are real doesn't he?
Every accusation is a confession...
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
Talking about exerting control over impulses and the impulse to post this shit.
WTFš¬
Pretty sure this is when Twitter let everyone buy checkmarks so you had a lot of tweets like this.
That's what I said.
Sounds like he's speaking from experience of both scenarios.
Oddlyspecific
Yes that's the joke. It's funny making fun of right wingers :)))
The obvious issue is that it is like taking candy from a baby. They are not developed enough to defend themselves. š
Well, I've just learned more about his search history and interests.This post is fake, but let's face it... even when I believed it, it wasn't a surprise at all.
[email protected]
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?
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
"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 āopponentā. His weapons-grade bad takes aimed at nothing but to stoke the fires of a culture war simply are vile.
Poe's Law is hitting hard in these comments, but for good reason I suppose.
facts and logic be like /s
I hate myself for crushing on him so hard
Pardon?
You're a different person
I think they know that.
Notopbutok
My condolences.
