What happens is occasionally Twitter does a wave of bot bans and because the only people those bots follow are tcot types, they see their followers plummet and assume that the Deep State is at work.

Twitter doesn't shadowban, it doesn't even loving regular ban Nazis unless they do something that gets into the mainstream

There was/is *something* up, as Emmanual Goldstein of 2600 Magazine (who is definitely not a right wing loon) brought something up a year or so back where it turned out a lot of people who were following the magazine account couldn't see a certain tweet in their timeline. I don't think this is anything on purpose but more an algorithm thing - which is possibly now resolved as you can switch between Popular/Latest timelines. I'm thinking maybe a combination of an old story like that combined with the bot bans you brought up, that might be what's creating the 'shadowban' conspiracy.

But the other part of my post was basically seeing if that term was invented here, and digging around it looks like that's the case

quote:

Rich Kyanka, the creator of Something Awful, says that the site that spawned “weird Twitter” coined ubiquitous internet terminology including “banhammer,” “spoiler alert,” “let's play,” and “AMA.” (Ask Me Anything). He also says that Something Awful mods invented the term “shadow ban” in 2001.

Yes, I'm not disagreeing with you about this.

I'm saying
1. Shadowbanning is a conspiracy on Twitter
2. Shadowbanning was a real thing that happened here, specifically called that, and the lingo caught on even if the act didn't.

This is fantastic! Good nostalgia from all the clips and toys, and good insane ramblings to boot.

Edit: Oh my God, Skeletor’s appearance and general evilness isn’t enough to condemn him, they also have to pretend he does YOGA POSES and that that is an evil outside religious influence on children.

Ignore my posts!
I'm aggressively wrong about everything!
There is definitely something shadowban-esque on Twitter, where it essentially seems to treat you as if everyone has you on mute. But it is never what right-wing assholes are talking about, since it appears to largely be afflicted on the more benign bots (not the Russian troll bots, more the 'responds to random replies with Link holding up a random GIS result) and a few unlucky weird corner cases who said the wrong words.

Two of my friends got married and they decided before hand that they didn't want kids, ever. Years later, the guy decided he did and she still said no, and that's what happened. The fact that this couple has a 4 yo is a huge complication though.

Also literally every part about the creepy story where the guy feels like God was telling him to walk into a toy store and look for occult symbolism

Look, we can dig deep into our own worldview to tear down the patriarchal framing of sex as an act of dominance where the male party takes sex from the female one, rendering the female practically an object for how little concern is given towards her/his/their own desire and sexual agency. Or we can just label some sex acts for-dudes-only and poo poo talk women for engaging in them.

One of these options is the feminist one. No not that one.

I kind of get it from the POV that dudes can't seem to shut the gently caress up about anal, or get over it when the answer is flat out no, but yeah, uh

Nope nope nope super nope.

I've had my cervix messed around with by doctors and it is loving excruciating. Like I mean crying out and vomiting level pain. And I'm loving tough. Might as well stab someone in the stomach and gently caress that, it would probably hurt less.

The thing is, dudes can't shut about a lot of sex acts because the problem is male entitlement to women's bodies and the normalization of sex as something you just take, so being a pushy rear end in a top hat even after a hard no is fine. TERFs will happily regurgitate that at you, all the while showing they fundamentally don't get it when they claim anal is inherently anti female-pleasure and all the cis-lesbains who say otherwise are lying/not real.

As a straight white sex haver dude, I never got the big deal about anal. It's fun, but if someone says it's not their thing, move on. Those are always the same dudes who if their partner even implied play south of the scrot, they'd lose their poo poo.

Want a good laugh? Find the biggest "alpha" :jerkbag: and ask him if he'd let a girl eat his rear end. The immediate "i aint no queer" reaction is never not hysterical.
