Fake Ben Shapiro tweets are always hilarious
It doesn’t even have to be plausible to be funny. Anything read in his goblin voice is funny.
“Let’s say for the sake of this argument in a theoretical hole, under the ground, there lived let’s say a hobbit…”
I literally came to the comments to find out if it was real or not.
Because quite frankly, I would probably believe either way .
Hey @LodeMike@lemmy.today - loved the post.
After sharing my concerns and receiving affirmational feedback, I have made a very small edit to this image.

If there any mods reading through here, I might suggest a rule asking folks to use their best judgment to include a similar indicator in similar circumstances.
I’m not much of an “/s” 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.
We 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.
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.
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.
Watermark stretching the whole image
Otherwise someone will just remove it
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…
It’s funny because his sister looks like someone gender bent him and gave him a proper skin care routine
My brother in christ
He’s Jewish tho, so he’s not.
Also, he’s a fascist
E: reworded for accuracy
Do y’all just call anyone you disagree with Nazis now? Seems a bit Russian to me.
Lmao are you really gonna be a Ben Shapiro apologist? He’s an overt ethnosupremacist of the white variety, and is staunchly aligned with the proto-fascist elements of the far right American political spectrum.
But by all means, check my facts.
It’s ironic for you to point out Russians because the only people supporting Russians today are conservatives
