The Onion Is Launching A Crusade Against JKR’s Anti-Trans Bigotry "JKR, a billionaire with a penchant for spreading misery, has long been a worthy target. I regret only that it took this long to find a pointed manner to highlight her unthinking hatred” 🤡 buzzfeed.com/alicelahoda/th…
@LabelFreeBrands The Onion has lost something like 90+% of its audience in the last 7 years and BuzzFeed recently announced its content creators are going to be AI robots as it can't afford to pay writers due to dwindling visitor numbers
@ripx4nutmeg @LabelFreeBrands While Rowling continues writing best sellers.
@ripx4nutmeg @LabelFreeBrands Yeah, tbh I used to enjoy the Onion.. not sure what happened or when, maybe roughly 5 years ago? just went down hill and too much try hard humor. Babylon bee nails it each and everytime!
@ripx4nutmeg @LabelFreeBrands The Onion was once amazing, it's coverage of 9/11 was extraordinary, cathartic, hilarious. But that was a long time ago.
@ripx4nutmeg @roseveniceallan @LabelFreeBrands No surprise there. The Onion hasn't been funny for ages. Two more examples of go woke, go broke.
@ripx4nutmeg @LabelFreeBrands I admire its commitment to losing that final 10% #SolidFinishers
@ripx4nutmeg @LabelFreeBrands Cracked has the same issue, sometime around 2016 they decided their writers were too white, too male and probably expected a decent pay rate so they switched to activist writers. Activists will work for exposure while skilled writers expect money.
@ripx4nutmeg @LabelFreeBrands Both of those have really lost any relevance. I used to enjoy Cracked years ago too. Could be interesting, and funny. Went 'concerned' about insensitivity etc...you know the rest.
@ripx4nutmeg @Concreteisland2 @LabelFreeBrands I thought Buzzfeed was written by AI robots already. It’s a reverse Turing test.
@ripx4nutmeg @LabelFreeBrands The Onion is funny for just 5 minutes. In your entire life. After that, why following it ? They have a political agenda, a real bias to everything.
