i honestly toyed with the phrasing of the post to find the right combo of "ignorant disdain for coastal elites" to juxtapose with "having opinions on william congreve" and I couldn't find something that was as concisely effective at conveying ignorance as misspelling a homophobic slur

the practice of typing an asterisk in the place of one vowel when typing a slur doesn't originate with whiney tbf, it's a baffling practice to me but that's for another time mebbe

lol there is a zero percent chance those were sent to real people. are you kidding?
i don't think they're trying to fool ppl into thinking otherwise either but apparently it's doing that regardless

it's definitely fake but also gross in its own fake way. horrible piece of course.

you say "are you kidding" but if it turned out an actual publication actually commissioned this sort of thing, would anyone really be surprised
― a self-reinforcing downward spiral of male-centric indie (katherine), Tuesday, 24 January 2017 20:45 (seven years ago) link
seems more corny than gross to me, i mean the punchline is "do you guys realize that bryson tiller is kind of a creep" but written in "we're down w/ the kids" memetalk via text messages ... its bad content but im not sure i see how it's 'gross'
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Tuesday, 24 January 2017 20:46 (seven years ago) link
i guess the execution is kind of unintended-ly gross for making you think abt the poor people on the other side? but still it's clearly positioned to be mocking bryson tiller
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Tuesday, 24 January 2017 20:47 (seven years ago) link
the suggestion that your exes are guinea pigs you could subject to a mind-fuck social experiment in the name of #content is gross

sure? idk what kind of person reads this & goes away thinking "i should try this on my ex"
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Tuesday, 24 January 2017 20:57 (seven years ago) link
like the message is clearly "this would turn out badly"
idek why im arguing this point, we all the think the article is bad
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Tuesday, 24 January 2017 20:58 (seven years ago) link
there's also the angle of (probably-)white dude using rap lyrics for his hilarious idea of a "self-deprecating" prank
― a self-reinforcing downward spiral of male-centric indie (katherine), Tuesday, 24 January 2017 21:06 (seven years ago) link
i mean, its more white dude stealing the concept from black people on twitter, where it's a longstanding joke where ppl express their *self awareness* about the douchey-ness of the lyrics by pointing out how no one would talk like that irl, drawing attention to the role of music like tiller's as a kind of therapeutic or emotional "its ok to feel it but not to act on it" kind of thing
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Tuesday, 24 January 2017 21:08 (seven years ago) link
no one (w/ a moral compass) would talk like that irl
obviously those jokes can also be interpreted in other ways, like there's a subset of dudes who send those texts to their exes just to get funny responses (which is gross) & there's probably a subset of weirdos who dont get the joke, but the overall thrust of it is supposed to be: the way bryson tiller talks is not how healthy people in relationships talk to each other
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Tuesday, 24 January 2017 21:10 (seven years ago) link
point being as i said before: there are problems with this bad article, but i think you're misinterpreting it
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Tuesday, 24 January 2017 21:11 (seven years ago) link
there's something about how the female voice is being subtly mimicked and mocked here too, i think...some of the replies as written are i think meant to be self-deprecating to the author but come off the other way a bit.
― nomar, Tuesday, 24 January 2017 21:13 (seven years ago) link
this has little to do with the quality of the piece, I admit, but just the sheer arrogance of it, how women are called clingy bitches if they even so much as think about contacting an ex once or, like, go to an event in their neighborhood or whatnot
