I confess, I actually quite like tacky pandering by politicians. Very small d-democratic, begging the voters to like them by eating a stick of fried butter and asking the kids to PokĂŠmon Go to the polls. Reenforces that they owe their jobs to the public. Dance, monkeys, dance.

Unpopular Elden Ring opinion: Ranni doesn’t get enough shit for employing the town rapist. It’s not like everyone doesn’t know. When you ask Gideon Ofnir about him, he’s like “oh yeah, that’s Rapist Steve. We kicked him out of the Shady Bastards Club for taking it too far.”

True. Everyone who ever made a butt joke is racist is on flimsier ground, but moral panics have been built on less.

The trick to effective propaganda is to have an element of truth baked into the rabble rousing.

It’s cynical and amoral, but it would work.

Only half joking when I say we should run a Twitter psyop to return Grayson to the pre-You Know Who era by riling up an online mob about how the devolution of Nightwing into the pretty butt man is the result of racist fetishization which trivializes the trauma from his rape.
