If you didn’t enjoy this strawman, you just didn’t consume enough of them.

Luckily, there’s plenty more on thebad.website.

    This is a reminder that it’s okay to enjoy garbage and accept that it is garbage. You don’t need validation from strangers. you don’t have to convince strangers that what you consume is only the most peak content possible.

      This is why I occasionally watch Bing bong theorem.

      It’s garbage, it’s offensive to several groups of people (some more than others), and it has a laugh track.

      By all my standards, it’s garbage, with garbage characters played by( a couple) garbage people actors, and half the time it’s not funny at all, not just “not as funny as it thinks it is”

      But… I still like to watch an episode here or there.

      Don’t get me started on all the people who tell me I should love it because I’m a nerd and I “like space”. Usually these people don’t understand why the “smart” jokes aren’t actually smart and usually they’re giving just enough of a “you need basic education to understand this” so that when the average viewer understands it, they can feel good about themselves for being oh so smart and understanding all that nerd stuff.

      And of course you can’t bring any of that up without sounding like a pretentious douche who wants people to think they’re smarter than they are.

      So uh… Hi, I guess I’m a pretentious douche. IM SMRT

      Like what you like, fuck the h8rz.

        “So uh… Hi, I guess I’m a pretentious douche. IM SMRT”

        It’s okay, you’re not nearly as bad as me, who instinctively shifted into a judgemental mindset after reading the first line of your comment (before checking myself on that nonsense)

        I suppose I spent many years inadvertently training myself to be an asshole in this manner, so I shouldn’t be surprised that it requires regular work to remain a “recovering asshole”, rather than just an asshole. Because you’re quite right: like what you like, fuck the haters indeed
