Fake Ben Shapiro tweets are always hilarious
Such a plausible thing for him to say I didn’t even question it.
I want to believe
It doesn’t even have to be plausible to be funny. Anything read in his goblin voice is funny.
“Let’s say for the sake of this argument in a theoretical hole, under the ground, there lived let’s say a hobbit…”
Figured Ben would be going a different direction with the theoretical ground hole…
I literally came to the comments to find out if it was real or not.
Because quite frankly, I would probably believe either way .
I wouldn’t believe he’d have stopped there.
I ate the onion on this one for a second.
Thanks for introducing me to this phrase haha
You got any more :)
Hey @[email protected] - loved the post.
After sharing my concerns and receiving affirmational feedback, I have made a very small edit to this image.
Please consider using Lemmy’s awesome image hot swap feature to update the image. You may simply tap edit and paste the following link:

I’m not much of an “/s” guy, but I think these six letters (parody) can avoid misleading without ruining the fun :)
Like the others, I didn’t think it was fake.
This is the guy who doesn’t think aroused women have wet vaginas after all.

And his wife is a doctor too.
We don’t need shit like that around here. Conservative / christofascist fucks say enough things that we can malign. Don’t make shit up unless it’s impossible for someone to misperceive as real.
Yeah but it’s funny.
Also, one could argue that by taking the piss out of some of these people, they’ll be taken less seriously overall. Which is a good thing.
I feel sheepish saying it but I wish even these obvious fakes were marked as parody in tiny little font somewhere
Yeah without it at a certain point they start giving cover for the heinous shit he actually says and advocates for.
Which is exactly what i’ve argued a hundred times.
I genuinely would not be surprised if half of these are being made by trolls for the explicit purpose of muddying the waters and confusing things to give cover/plausible deniability to what he actually says, since screenshotted tweets have apparently become a medium of information transmission.
You shouldnt feel sheepish about it.
I’ve already seen people using these fake tweets that everything thinks is soooo funny being use to defend and handwave the shit he actually says.
but why use brains and care about common sense when some stupid fucklechuckles get a giggle.
I think its a good start, but also super easy for an asshole to just edit out the (parody) label.
Very true. Mentioned this elsewhere someone suggestion a large watermark:
I went a different route, though I avoided placing the callout somewhere it may be accidentally cropped.
I hope the, uh, non-disinformation can have a simple start here, and if we’re big enough some day that kind of thing is a problem maybe we re-adjust. Of course, nothing stopping someone from recreating something to their less-scrupulous heart’s delight. (in the case someone is re-creating something to intentionally mislead, not re-creating based on their expectations of people’s knowledge and BS meters)
Ahh just can’t wait for the proliferation of high-quality generated videos…
I’d like to apologise now for when, in the future, I place a “parody” sticker on a genuine social media post. I know, there’s something wrong with me… but I thought I’d give you a heads-up about it as you seem pretty reasonable.
LOL lmk what your psych says about that
When you try it, make sure it’s in a domain where there is some chance of starting an international conflict
I was thinking of some (gentle) lazy flaming or trolling but your mention of instigating international conflict has inspired me to better myself and aim higher in life. Thank you.
You’re welcome, Nuclear Noel
Watermark stretching the whole image
Otherwise someone will just remove it

Oh
now you see it
Now you don’t (the underwear, I mean)
There are two big reasons why this picture is incomplete (that provide supple context to OP’s post).
It’s funny because his sister looks like someone gender bent him and gave him a proper skin care routine
I mean, in fairness Ben Shapiros looks are possibly the least offensive thing about literally everything else about him.
Yeah
My brother in christ
He’s Jewish tho, so he’s not.
Also, he’s a fascist
E: reworded for accuracy
Nazis can be christian
Also Jewish, so no Jesus
Do y’all just call anyone you disagree with Nazis now? Seems a bit Russian to me.
Lmao are you really gonna be a Ben Shapiro apologist? He’s an overt ethnosupremacist of the white variety, and is staunchly aligned with the proto-fascist elements of the far right American political spectrum.
But by all means, check my facts.
I think there was a woosh here
Nah, Zerog is 100% simping for Shapiro. You should see their Shapiro level takes on everything regarding Israel…
It’s ironic for you to point out Russians because the only people supporting Russians today are conservatives
Nah, there’s also a bunch of “anti-imperialist” leftist tankies too.
Dear lord, please smite twitter and all on it so that we may be cleansed from the unholy content it exposes us to 👏😔
I don’t understand
You can only use stalker memes if you make a stalker community. Best political discourse ever, fight me.
Ben the perv assuming everyone else is a perv as well.
Im pretty sure this isn’t real.
But it’s clearly from a Verified™ Account!
How sure, exactly?
Are you calling OP a liar?!
Yes. @[email protected] is a fucking lying piece of shit.
Edit: /s
“… Maybe you steal her underwear a couple times…” No Ben. No we don’t.Regardless of it being the fake, the fact that so many (including me) thought it was real speaks volumes.

fuck ben shapino but also this is relevant
Tbh that’s right wing rhetoric. “It doesn’t matter that it’s factually false, it’s enough that it could be true”
It’s really not that deep.
"It’s funny because it’s ‘relatable’ "
I don’t know about relatable, but it does speak to Ben’s personality that so many people thought this was real.
Relatable… relative… his sister…
This dude thinks all the pornhub titles are real doesn’t he?
Every accusation is a confession…
Hey now, you just can’t call him “Benny” out of the blue. His birth name was Benjamin. That’s what he should be called. That’s exactly according to his own rules he’s espousing. /very sarcastic of course
Talking about exerting control over impulses and the impulse to post this shit.
WTF😬
Pretty sure this is when Twitter let everyone buy checkmarks so you had a lot of tweets like this.
That’s what I said.
Sounds like he’s speaking from experience of both scenarios.
