Not joking by the way, this was made by a conservative artist

Yes, there’s a whole series of them. If they were satire, I’d adore them. They’re not satire so I merely love them. The Biden “ain’t black” ones are my favorite.

The right really doesn't get humor.

Yet here they are constantly having thier messages spread further and more prolifically than others in the same medium. Keep hate viewing the right into prominence, see how that works out

Except this shit is so ridiculous it comes off as satire without context. I'd be hard pressed to say this is successfully spreading their message. It makes them look ridiculous.

When Rush Limbaugh was first on the air, my father who has always been a shockingly progressive person was sure SURE Limbaugh was satire. After a bit he got that the dude was sincere, and he kept listening for a little bit largely under these same opinions. Rush Limbaugh eventually became a power house of the rights culture.

While the majority of commentators are mocking it, the majority of users on sites like these don't comment and they're being shaped by the propaganda bombarding them from all sides every single day

And then people wonder why discussion boards for games have flooded with questions "is this game woke?"

...ffs they're so goddamn inundated with garbage opinions on social media that they've been programmed to seek out things to be mad about... Who the fuck cares if you can CHOOSE your pronouns in a game...

Pretty sure we're all mocking them here

That generally is what hate viewing is, yes

Well, good thing you came along and cleared that up

What makes you say they're not satire?

Mostly the artist’s interviews with rightwing pundits. I suppose I should have said that they’re without irony, but I think my meaning was understood.
