I've only read Group A so far and I already hate this.

I don't know what this is.

Another successful topic :datass:

Hate that twitter account, purely for the hordes of its followers who will go around twitter, finding any story about something nice or out of the ordinary happening, and reply just tagging in that account.

I was going to post something similar. They seem to like to pick on women and are pretty bloody cruel to a lot of people.

Yep. So many of these are perfectly plausible too.

The Trump one is pretty funny

I've never heard of this before though

To be fair, most of the above definitely didn't happen

Facebook the quiz :toot:

This. It's basically a group of miserable, sexist knobheads pissing on everyone's chips.

Me neither.

I too am not a huge fan of the account, or the people who invoke it, but some of those were infuriating. Some of them were also perfectly plausible though.

It's an account followed mainly by toxic man babies and regularly leads to harassment campaigns, usually against women

Delete this thread etc

I don't know what this is but I hate it.

What a massive waste of effort.

There are twatty examples of this that make me think 'good on them for calling that out!' but then there are harmless/nice examples that make me think the opposite.

Then there are some that span both sides, like the example in Group F posted to Eastbourne Echo that I can't help but tell to strawberry float off.

Overall, I agree this is a bad thing and should not be encouraged.

It's not a problem with the concept, it's the curation. You see it all the time, especially on all those specific subreddits, where something is funny and popular and then 90% of the submissions are not really getting it because people are looking too hard to find examples where there aren't.

Like all of my sub-par quotes in the no context thread!

The winner should be "this thread going well"

Where can I sign up for the £34 to fake a cough?
