By that I mean the "I am a feminist and you just triggered me" style of :stupidpol: posting on :reddit-logo: , on numerous game chats, and so on.
There's many versions, from "did you just assume my gender?" to "all white people are evil" to "I don't want to work. That's why I am a leftist" and many more.
Sure, I often say "that's bait" but there's often a lot of enthusiastic barking from :so-true: when the reactionary dog whistle is blown so that doesn't seem to do much.
Ideas?
"Shut up, nerd" is actually pretty effective; I've seen strangers use it and it does shut up :le-pol-face: sometimes.
The best case scenario I've seen is when :le-pol-face: loses his temper and goes full :frothingfash: while strangers start laughing at him that were quiet previously while his mask falls further and further away, calling everyone slurs and having a meltdown about how they should all be purged or whatever.
Yes, you got it. Get them to the point of :frothingfash:
Most have the capacity within them. It's always hilarious and it will cause otherwise politically unaffiliated people to see them as lunatics. Or they'll get banned and their accounts deleted, which is also hilarious.
Sometimes I've seen someone say "yeah I'm gay. What about it?" and the mask falls off instantly.
