Parody account, marked as such as of now with Elmo's recentish rule change about that.

So yeah there's people like that just being idiots for the sake of generating content and replies.

It’s pretty obvious satire

You would need a severe lack of self awareness to respond with that rather than deflecting

Except the problem is there are absolutely people on Twitter who do think like that so it's not at all apparent.

That’s what it’s making fun of, gratz on getting the joke

If called out like this they would deflect

isn't satire meant to be funny? This is just trolling/bating. That isn't satire.

Wow, what a fun, satirical account. They really showed those women who thought they were dealing with an asshole! They weren't really an asshole at all! Just a parody account! 🙄

I didn’t claim it to be funny, just that it wasn’t good parody

Remedying both of those would be making the character they’re playing the punchline

Like an incely “why do women go for jocks instead of random Japanese verb guys who will treat them right” - Responding to the girl doesn’t make sense because there’s no where for the story to go; though a “are you asking me out?” Comes off pathetic enough to kind of work

Bold of you to assume that people are, in general, self-aware.

ETA: Especially in the US.

People like this are completely aware of their hypocrisy and do not care that it gets pointed out. All they want is a platform to broadcast their propaganda and that's what engaging with them does. If your social media platform doesn't let you exclude bad actors and forces that engagement then you should abandon that platform. My 2c.

Not agreeing with the guy, but we are all aware that his last post is sarcasm right

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It is an implied threat, doofus.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

I mean he's not genuinely outraged about it.

She should've ended it with "No. I'm going to send you some flowers."

It reads like "cans of soup... for my family"
