Sounds super cereal!!!
I don't do twatter but if I did I'd be #Superweird
He declared his preference for women who are female by BOTH gender and sex, and dubbed it #SuperStraight.
This guy -- among others -- retweeted it --
-- and it took off from there. Some did not get it at first... and were not happy once they did. The trans community is flooding the #SuperStraight hashtag with their personal art, trying to deflect and dilute its popularity (and purpose). And fair enough! I give them credit for not doing so in hateful or abusive way. So good on them.
And thus was fought the Super Twitter War of 2021.
That actually wouldn't surprise me... #SuperTwitterWar2021!

I had a twitter account for a few weeks years ago...i was banned for participating in i suppose what one could call an organized raid on twitter from a certain board on far flung corners of the internet...
The internet's just no fun anymore.

I think we misunderstand eachother about what i was referring to by fun.
I miss the days of pseudoanonymity being prevalent across the internet and there were many loosely moderated communities where one could go and at most they'd ask for an email address and free opinion and speech were mostly allowed as long as you followed the rules of that community.
Basically, the internet was a lot more like ats except for any topic, niche, hobby you can imagine. Nobody got cancelled, you might get banned from one site, but that wouldn't automatically get you banned from everything. People didn't feel the need to post everything from a public account with their name, personal info, pictures etc.
Today's internet is like some warped version of being in public, except you're wearing a sign with your name and contact info and everbody's yelling at eachother all the time...
Even this little twitter war is the same #. All these people posting this nonsense with their face and name, some of these people will have this affect their real life...it's ridiculous.
Especially given that the issues involved are already affecting their real life. It's already part of social media. It's already part of politics. They can't "opt out" so they're engaging on their terms. Good for them!

LOL -- I'm so glad you're getting a kick out of them too!
I read a few to my husband, and we were both laughing so hard at some we set the dogs crazy too.
Go #SuperSolidarity!!!

I for the first time ever really want to start a Twatter account just to comment...
If I'm Bi and am naturally attracted to organic genitalia, does that make me a bigot?

Of course not -- you're just #SuperBi.. and #SuperBrave and #SuperStunning if I might add.
Wear it with #SuperPride as a #SuperBadgeOfHonor.
