You know, until recently I thought that the golden days of Internet activism were over and we were mostly living in times where it was ridiculously easy to get things censored on the Internet.
Then something as stupid as this gets this amount of attention because of Internet users having way too much time and energy to spread it. WTF
Oh fuck yeah spread it
Spread it like JD Vance's couch cushions.
Are there no actually serious issues in the world that it is worth spreading information about? I think there are.
Shit I forgot that we're only allowed to talk about one thing at a time, and if someone makes a joke then all the other information dies.
More serious issues than a fascist trying to take over one of the world's most powerful nations? Not really. If saying his VP candidate fucks couches is bothering them this much, please keep spreading that information.
There is no problem with the lack of information though. It's the opposite, the internet is oversaturated.
Much better to talk openly encouraging the posting of revenge porn.
Humans are such relative morality miscreants.
I think that only proves your thoughts. This thing blew up uncontrollably. Now try repeating this with some truly important point.
Do we still not have a risky click hero-user here yet?
I clicked it. Only softcore/censored examples until you use the generator yourself at the bottom of the page. You can read about the project first without getting bombarded by a user feed or something terrifying like that.
Diabolical
