Sometimes I like to look up the origin of the taglines. So I looked one up and found this old thread…

https://hexbear.net/post/1640059

I don’t know this for sure, but I’m almost certain all of the other accts in this thread were eventually banned for being alts of DayOfDoom (HaruhiSuzumiya got herself banned during that thread about DayOfDoom’s banning by being sus about it, the other got banned around the same time for unspecified ban evasion)

Literally arguing with themselves, completely artificial thread, and managed to get into a tagline

My honest reaction to this information:

The tagline from this thread is:

Apart from further Luna Rossa flankers, would also recommend (re) testing more of the Prada Infusions for a less gourmand, sweet and/or woody, also fresher, crisper and more transparent take on somewhat similar notes, as well as the many AMen flankers, perhaps especially Pure Wood and Pure Tonka, while not entirely dismissing the other flankers and maybe also Kenzo Homme Boisee to certain extents

    If only you knew how bad things really are, that’s not even surprising

    Oh I know, the internet is completely fucked

    The vibe I get from this place is that it’s generally way better than the big corpo platforms, unless… you know something I don’t about this place? brow

    The most sus thing about that thread is the fact that it played out entirely within 10 minutes and the first reply was sent literally seconds after it was posted sus-soviet

      Right the timestamps bring this up to “winking” territory but it’s entirely implausible. The whole “ladies ladies please don’t fight” thing is legitimately funny if it’s got any self-awareness about how obvious this is, how overly-specific

      Honestly, that’s kind of impressive. I don’t even know if the page could load and I could type fast enough to achieve that.
