People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
- Mark NSFW content.
- No doxxing people.
- Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
- No international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. You can replace the addres of .x.com to xcancel.com in the address. https://web.archive.org/save is an option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
- If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement (see rule 6)

MODERATORS
I think this quickly goes into bad territory.
It's very easy to be racist/sexist and then just say "It was a joke bro! Calm down!" as an example.
If you're making violent "jokes" but saying it's not real... Well sorry to say but you're actually just violent and pretending otherwise.
Yeah thats definitely true. Humans evolved bashing the brains of animals and other humans in. All of civilization is violent people pretending not to be violent.
Including you. You’re violent as fuck in the right situations. And the only thing keeping you from being violent is that fact the people who’ve already had their monsters unleashed, pretending like they’re not monsters.
Not all pretending is clandestine work. Pretending can also be found in theater, and in the concept of work.
It is not a condemnation to say a person is violent and pretending not to be. That’s just what it means to be a civilized adult human.
This is a weird take. Not everyone is violent and pretending not to be. I think that's a gross misrepresentation of humans and not even the right way to justify this.
