Oh, well he is – I mean, “oh look lol they’ll think i’m racist and I really am and others will use it back and they’ll think they’re racist and they really are too but isn’t it funny because they don’t strictly HAVE to be racist because OTHER people have used it in the past for other reasons, so we’ll make them look silly for thinking we’re racist for using it to each other by showing those people” kinda got long in the tooth quickly.
I mean, “they’ll think I am what I really am lol” was really overplayed for a few years.

I only learned about him because in a twitter thread someone lamented “oh my god when I was 14 years old I uncritically liked everything this guy said” and someone else replied, “don’t dwell on the cringe you were, but the based you are becoming” which was a nice reply.
and yeah, he’s pretty cringe

that’s probably why we bristle; i always need everything explained in excruciating detail and i love finding knowledgeable people and picking their brains
I approach life with an “everybody is a possible teacher about something in some way at anytime” so I try to keep my ears open for learning opportunities. Makes me a pain in the ass sometimes.
