Ive had people on lemmy and other communities tell me the r/fuckluigimangione sub is satire but after checking its posts out since it was made and circling back to it now i am 100% convinced it is not.
The auto mod responses alone as well as the concerted effort to manipulate the narrative tell you all you need to know. For instance anytime you say his name there is a ridiculous anti L-M response, or if you say brian thompson (yuck) the automated response is just pure corpo ball gargling. If you ask if the sub is satire there is a specific automod response that explains in definitive English that the sub is 100% not satirical.
Also they are trying to spread the narrative that mangione is an alt right trump supporting racist anti trans (because supposedly brian Thompson left a legacy of promoting trans health care (you cant make this shit up)) incel? Satire should at least be so absurd its funny however this sub is just so obviously a smear campaign and pro corporate boot licking effort unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. Go check it out for yourself. It would be a shame if a bunch of people who have brains and understand whats going on in the world just bombed the shit out of their gross billionaire ball gargling bukkake fest.
It makes me feel like it will be like The_Donald all over again. Started out as satire. People that unironically think like that join in and share their views. More of them come until they outnumber the satirists. Now it’s just a pit of bad takes.
I dont think it ever started out as satire. It seems like it is legit just a bunch of corporate turd cutter tongue punchers. It would be one thing if it was funny but its so far beyond anything I’ve ever seen as satire in my life.
I think this sub started out like the_donlad is now and might morph into satire overtime (hopefully) but go read this thread https://www.reddit.com/r/FuckLuigiMangione/s/fB9OLtu4x9
Also this is the automod response to anyone asking if it is satire
