Anime avatars are often a coin toss between (potential) comrade and chud, so it may be fun and maybe helpful to think about and share those in the place of that old hentai-free bellwether for chuddery.

Mine is anyone with “.eth” as a suffix in their online name. I have yet to see a single person that does that that isn’t a chud. cryptocurrency

It may even be cheating, but seeing an actual cryptofascist cartoon “original NFT do not steal” is a pretty reliable red flag too. monke-beepboop

    I think that’s more of an ”I’ve never read a book that wasn’t one of the required ones in school, but want to appear smart” thing. Which is admittedly at the very least chud adjacent.

    melon-musk’s list of recommended books was all shit like that and Orwell. At least Steve Jobs’ list showed he’d maybe read a book that wasn’t one of the Anglo ”every schoolchild has read this” ones.

      I’ve found that to be more common with run-of-the-mill libs, where they also always mix up fiction with non-fiction. Chuds just won’t read or id they do read it’s like they try to read Julius Caesar’s auto-biograohy uncritically.
