not to discount @fart, but i feel like a counterfactual universe without something awful would still have seen the rise of horse_ebooks and who is to say it wouldn't have been for the better?

i have a less condescending but way worse word for it if you want: slipstream twitter

i don't like 'weird twitter' because it implies that twitter isn't already weird

Twitter user @hell_homer (whose avatar depicts the popular Simpsons character, Homer, in hell) appears to not appreciate the irony that by reaching out to the people who might be concerned about the ‘weird twitter’ label, he is symbolically constructing the weird twitter community within the digital social space. @hell_homer autoreifies ‘weird twitter’ through his very acts of resistance.

more evidence
Moreover, academic language’s distinction from the vernacular echos the power dynamics of meatspace into the digitally dual virtual world. These power dynamics problematize organic community growth.

i do not appreciate the irony that by complaining about this faux-academic analysis of 'weird twitter' i am symbolically constructing the critical media community within a digital social space

i think that might just be pop culture criticism tho.
by situating buffy in a paradigm of post-feminism, we relocate the lacuna of lost gender-performed mythology; this problematizes the symbolic other within the preexisting superstructure and undermines the hierarchy presupposed

what's stupid is he's like "these tweets are works of surrealist détournement" and then responding to them literally and at face value!
― s.clover, Thursday, 18 October 2012 02:49 (eleven years ago) link
like did you think that maybe these people who spend their time saying funny things that aren't necessarily true are perhaps not responding to you in earnest? is that another possibility, perhaps?

conflating dying as in 'not tweeting anymore' with dying as in 'actually dying' is a bold move I must say
