A lot of weird twitter dudes're rightwing/libertarian types, it seems

I think that's mostly Irony

ya i think you're reading it wrong

unless you think they actually are all up in arms about benghazi and are composing sincere acrostics abotu it

so many levels of irony its hard to know when u get to the gooey center

ouroboros

turns out that Wettbutt's a total fucking creep which is a surprise given that most of the weird twitter bros seem like totally great people irl lmao

Hahaha what happened?

did NOT know that he could suck his own dick.

Damn

Well, ew

given that most of the weird twitter bros seem like totally great people irl lmao

Weird twitter probably wouldn't exist if those bros all had girlfriends, it's true

when I first saw his twitter, probably from someone linking it itt, I felt like it was intermittently funny but gave me this vibe of dude looking at his screen all day every day splurging lolrandom sentences onto a page for no real useful purpose. while it in no way follows that someone who does this is an awful person, it does kind of link up with the stuff about constant harrassing txts etc

The cunning thing abt weird twitter is how giving that (accurate, in maybe just this case) impression is part of the whole thing

do these lads still do breakdancing cop jokes?

having spent a few years pre-twitter posting on an internet forum with a bunch of these guys, i can't really vouch for many of them being good people

hahaha.

is utilitylimb really a dick?

the guys i have the most respect for are the ones who never really participated in any of the internet bullying that went on and instead just posted endless bad puns

are you talking about FYAD

yeah

man. I haven't posted in there for like...7 or 8 years. I imagine its mostly the same people too!!

i thought they switched to twitter

like, "weird twitter" was a minor exodus, not just an expansion

correct me if i'm wrong -- i don't follow that stuff

i think all the funny joke people left for twitter and now the forum is just corsair and all the dudes who talk about sports and what they're eating for lunch

So... kind of like ILX

all the dudes who talk about sports

if only we could get rid of these people

(jk, i don't like sports but a bunch of my homies here do)

my friend in the know claims this gif sums up fyad
http://i.imgur.com/YFfvDXB.gif

real tired of twitter/fyad jokemen as a category, notable exceptions of course, but as a clique / genre it's pretty dire

I feel like the handful I enjoy are pretty good, but the bunch I'd occasionally look at are just a churn of the same mentality

I have a soft spot for @fart due to his corny cat owner joeks

do we fully consider Dril as part of that gang?

dril never posted in fyad much

dril style is a huge influence on jokemen imho but i don't really consider dril to be of that crowd

Dril's worse, he's like the ideal to live up to, also (mainly) he's just not esp funny often enough to justify the amnt of tweets/RTs

I only rt weird ilx B)

shoutout to the real heroes, stay out there trolling for kicks and tweeting abusive to the women who have the temerity to criticize yr fallen idol wettbutt

This may be one of those guys bt fuck him, didn't want to keep reading, a dick either way https://twitter.com/AFFfic

so wait.. wettbutt is gone. no more wettbutt.

If you remember, he actually wasn't v funny

actually... he was

ACTUALLY

yeah gotta admit the not funny argument might be stronger coming from some ilxors who have ever been funny once.

lol xp case in point

i will admit to chuckling but the (dismissive reference to Western canon) + (facetious boast) + (Beatles reference) + (mock heroics) tweet formula wore thin pretty quick imho

today i begin a new life

dril is the best cos he has his own vocab, a spesh mix of seedy lame dudeisms & occasional attempts at tuck his gut in & appear serious w/ more formal terminology which make him come off even grubbier.
