@hikari sure enough, it isn't the usual critique of right wingers, calling people ugly, suggesting that they're gay, or saying their body is misshapen

but at the same time it feels bizarrely toothless "aha you aren't obeying this arbitrary set of rules i have invented. look at this rich person who didn't buy the right accessories"

it feels like someone's trying to catch a gangster on tax fraud, and failing

@tef he's playing a game against people who aren't playing the same game as he is. like liberals pointing out contradictions in fash arguments.

@hikari @tef I think everyone is playing the game to some extent he’s just really into it to the extent that most people don’t care or know about

@hikari @tef It’d be like, I don’t know, if a guy decided to spend all his time finding weird bugs and performance problems in people’s software. It would have a wide audience but it’s fundamentally kind of lonely and sad because it’s not like it’s doing much in the long run

@hikari @tef Part of the schtick is the novelty of being “good” while the target is supposed to “know better” or whatever. Where it gets weird is that he doesn’t quite always punch up but also punches sideways towards people who mostly kind of suck

@tef that's what makes it so sad! it's like, dude, you clearly are halfway to embracing the beauty of all things, but you're held back by your own judgmentalness
