I feel sheepish saying it but I wish even these obvious fakes were marked as parody in tiny little font somewhere
Yeah without it at a certain point they start giving cover for the heinous shit he actually says and advocates for.
Which 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.
I think its a good start, but also super easy for an asshole to just edit out the (parody) label.
Very true. Mentioned this elsewhere someone suggestion a large watermark:
I 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 we’re 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 heart’s delight. (in the case someone is re-creating something to intentionally mislead, not re-creating based on their expectations of people’s knowledge and BS meters)
Ahh just can’t wait for the proliferation of high-quality generated videos…
I’d like to apologise now for when, in the future, I place a “parody” sticker on a genuine social media post. I know, there’s something wrong with me… but I thought I’d give you a heads-up about it as you seem pretty reasonable.
LOL lmk what your psych says about that
When you try it, make sure it’s in a domain where there is some chance of starting an international conflict
I was thinking of some (gentle) lazy flaming or trolling but your mention of instigating international conflict has inspired me to better myself and aim higher in life. Thank you.
You’re welcome, Nuclear Noel
Watermark stretching the whole image
Otherwise someone will just remove it
