Concept: A text-replacer extension which corrects “pandering to [group]” to “being enjoyable for people who are not me.”

This was actually the best idea:

We were upset by people claiming we only wanted to make things suck for them because we can’t stand it when other people are having fun in ways we don’t like, so we created a browser extension that replaces their speech with a straw man version, part 5/?

OP should be careful, since this also bites the other direction.  How many articles are about “pandering to mandudegamebros” but with a different phrasing?  Implicitly, this extension suggests that making a game that doesn’t care one whit about SJ is of the same value.

When did 4Channers and Redditors get so bad at setting up honeypots?

Does it matter? If a bad honeypot still works when it is so obviously a honeypot, it becomes easier to point and laugh and harder to defend those who fall for it.

Like Nigerian scammers, by making the bait so blatantly obvious they actually increase the odds of success by hooking morons.

Society isn’t safe for the truly unintelligent and the willfully clueless.  I think it might have been safer for them some years ago.

while some extremist blogs are an endless source of entertainment I’m feeling a bit uneasy about contributing to possible dogpiles and trust that people won’t send them anonymous obnoxious shit; if you’re not willing to put your own name on something it’s probably best not to send it in the first place.

Endorsed, more or less.  As a matter of public record, don’t send mean anons to people I’m arguing with.
