Fake Ben Shapiro tweets are always hilarious
276Such a plausible thing for him to say I didn't even question it.
192I literally came to the comments to find out if it was real or not.
Because quite frankly, I would probably believe either way .
100I wouldn't believe he'd have stopped there.

I ate the onion on this one for a second.
39Thanks for introducing me to this phrase haha

You got any more :)
16Hey @LodeMike@lemmy.today - loved the post.
After sharing my concerns and receiving affirmational feedback, I have made a very small edit to this image.

Iβm not much of an β/sβ guy, but I think these six letters (parody) can avoid misleading without ruining the fun :)

Like the others, I didn't think it was fake.
This is the guy who doesn't think aroused women have wet vaginas after all.

And his wife is a doctor too.
15We don't need shit like that around here. Conservative / christofascist fucks say enough things that we can malign. Don't make shit up unless it's impossible for someone to misperceive as real.
2Yeah but it's funny.
Also, one could argue that by taking the piss out of some of these people, they'll be taken less seriously overall. Which is a good thing.

I feel sheepish saying it but I wish even these obvious fakes were marked as parody in tiny little font somewhere
194Yeah without it at a certain point they start giving cover for the heinous shit he actually says and advocates for.
49Which is exactly what i've argued a hundred times.
I genuinely would not be surprised if half of these are being made by trolls for the explicit purpose of muddying the waters and confusing things to give cover/plausible deniability to what he actually says, since screenshotted tweets have apparently become a medium of information transmission.

You shouldnt feel sheepish about it.
I've already seen people using these fake tweets that everything thinks is soooo funny being use to defend and handwave the shit he actually says.
but why use brains and care about common sense when some stupid fucklechuckles get a giggle.
11Iβd like to apologise now for when, in the future, I place a βparodyβ sticker on a genuine social media post. I know, thereβs something wrong with meβ¦ but I thought Iβd give you a heads-up about it as you seem pretty reasonable.
5Watermark stretching the whole image
Otherwise someone will just remove it
1I went a different route, though I avoided placing the callout somewhere it may be accidentally cropped.
I hope the, uh, non-disinformation can have a simple start here, and if weβre big enough some day that kind of thing is a problem maybe we re-adjust. Of course, nothing stopping someone from recreating something to their less-scrupulous heartβs delight. (in the case someone is re-creating something to intentionally mislead, not re-creating based on their expectations of peopleβs knowledge and BS meters)
Ahh just canβt wait for the proliferation of high-quality generated videosβ¦

It's funny because his sister looks like someone gender bent him and gave him a proper skin care routine
54I mean, in fairness Ben Shapiros looks are possibly the least offensive thing about literally everything else about him.
25Yeah

Dear lord, please smite twitter and all on it so that we may be cleansed from the unholy content it exposes us to ππ

29I don't understand
9You can only use stalker memes if you make a stalker community. Best political discourse ever, fight me.

".... Maybe you steal her underwear a couple times..." No Ben. No we don't.Regardless of it being the fake, the fact that so many (including me) thought it was real speaks volumes.

fuck ben shapino but also this is relevant
12Tbh that's right wing rhetoric. "It doesn't matter that it's factually false, it's enough that it could be true"
4It's really not that deep.

This dude thinks all the pornhub titles are real doesn't he?
23Every accusation is a confession...
21Hey now, you just can't call him "Benny" out of the blue. His birth name was Benjamin. That's what he should be called. That's exactly according to his own rules he's espousing. /very sarcastic of course
20Talking about exerting control over impulses and the impulse to post this shit.
18WTFπ¬
17Pretty sure this is when Twitter let everyone buy checkmarks so you had a lot of tweets like this.
14That's what I said.

Sounds like he's speaking from experience of both scenarios.
16Oddlyspecific
15Yes that's the joke. It's funny making fun of right wingers :)))
14The obvious issue is that it is like taking candy from a baby. They are not developed enough to defend themselves. π

Well, I've just learned more about his search history and interests.This post is fake, but let's face it... even when I believed it, it wasn't a surprise at all.
9What the fuck is he actually talking about? I have no fucking clue how the US is full of people that read this shit and go, "yeah politics and I am an American Republican this guy knows the truth." Like how did we get to this kind of stupidity?
7It's fake
36That's the great thing about fake tweets from Ben. They all still feel like they could be real.
25In defense of the the guy you replied to, the Ben Shapiro types aren't exactly known for NOT being into their sisters.
12You can't prove it's not real

Poe's Law is hitting hard in these comments, but for good reason I suppose.
5facts and logic be like /s
