              I would 100% watch something Weird Al starred in, billed as porn. You just know it was subversive and brilliant!

                just him slapping a ham rhythmically for an hour solid, staring unblinkingly into the camera with an expression that grows progressively more unhinged

      On the other hand, that’s a pretty rough looking 27 year old. He looks like a 60s something bro who never stopped lifting.

      Yes! I can absolutely believe this as a guy who drops the n word in casual conversation then acts surprised when people cringe and leave the event he’s ruining.

        It’s not AI. This is a real photo of a guy sitting in a real chair. The background is clearly shopped because the lighting doesn’t match, but I assume that’s for the esthetic.

        They probably dressed up a guy to model for them; I really hope he doesn’t look like this at other times

    Weird is the absolute least offensive term anyone can be saddled with. If it bothers you that much you got more problems than just being weird.

      That’s why it’s the best term to use against these people. People who are “good weird” accept it. “Bad weird” people are bothered by it. There are probably better words to describe these people but weird is working.

      They’re “stay away from your creepy uncle weird”, not “quirky weird”.

    Fascism is based on authoritarian ideas. “I’m right, you’re all wrong, no matter what.”

    Our brains are hardwired for social cohesion. The idea that we are the outgroup absolutely terrifies us.

    Being called “weird” is a fascists worst nightmare.

      Because there’s good weird types, and there’s bad weird types.

      They know they are in the bad weird category.

        Anyone not conforming to their rigid set of ideals is weird to them, making it always mean bad weird.

      First, let us all bask in the beautiful position you are in of not being up to date on American politics.

      mmm. That’s nice, I miss this.

      Now: The Democrats have taken off running. President Biden withdrawing from the race, the de facto and now official nomination of Vice President Kamala Harris and then her choice of running mate in Minnesota governor Tim Walz have all proven more popular than anticipated, and among all this the Democrats have started calling the Republicans “weird” and also “creepy.” And this seems to have struck a nerve on the right.

      It seems to have actually punched through that their policies of defunding libraries, shutting down schools, killing doctors, waiting until birth to murder infants, checking children’s genitals before allowing them to go to the bathroom and on and on it goes are absolutely not normal.

      Calling them “deplorable” or “dangerous” or “a threat” doesn’t have the same effect because those sound badass to them. “Look, our enemies are scared of us.” A group that is as conformist as the American right can’t revel in being called “weird” anywhere near as effectively.

    The nuance is a little off. It’s not that they have a problem with the word, but the fact that people are using it against them. But they can totally use it against people they don’t like. That’s fine.

      It’s a satire site already. It’s shocking how many people here seem to not understand that. It’s so obvious because they say the guy is 27 but the picture is of someone in their 50s. Hell even just look at the sub.

      People desperately need to develop better critical eyes, especially when it confirms your belief.
