Bonus content: the OP that got purged had crossposted this to a couple places, let’s start some beef on the fediverse?

These link to the same thread, thanks to the magic of lemmy: lemmy.world link, awful.systems link

I actually have a shrimp torture farm. It brings me infinite joy. However its running costs are quite high and I require donations to keep it going

JFC. Thank you so much for this.

Thinker? Debatable. Computer scientist? LOL

Ah, finally, a paper article to pin to my Roko’s basilisk/David Gerard/X Æ A-Xii red yarn corkboard

But actually, real internet truthers know that the above is a revisionist version of history put forth as a psyop by russian troll farms, in addition to inventing AI chatbots and adding fluoride to water. This is all to weaken and feminise western men and turn them communist.

The evidence? owo actually comes from the Russian word "хорошо", meaning "good" or "ok", and its usage is normalising russian language in today's tiktok-pilled youth. This was a strategy cooked up by known cult leader Rajneesh, of course known in Russia as Ошо. Of course, uwu comes from the Russian word "Ушу" which is a secret programming command for the proletariat to learn Wushu and other forms of chinese/communist martial arts so that people can rise up and seize the means of production.

So my understanding is that uwu/UwU originates as a kaomoji, think (^.^) and (O.O) etc. Using the 'w' character to render the mouth starts as a furry thing or a general projection of human expression onto common animals like cats or dogs. (You'll see the omega symbol used in examples as well.)

Over the last 20-30 years or so of online interaction etc. kaomoji start to gain a sort of cringe notoriety alongside RP chatting, culminating in a few catalysing memes/copypastas.

Eventually "owo" and "uwu" start being read aloud/vocalised, similar to how people starting saying "lol" out loud, and this is associated I guess with a cutesy sort of image, though that image is often corrupted or subverted- for example e-girls, who co-opt a lot from of gaming and anime subcultures, lean into the uwu of it all.

Menawhile: tenga stock prices soar because apparently their toys are so good that a guy was willing to kill for them to be banned

OwO what’s this?

NB: I will not perform sleuthing, i.e. reading up on this guy or anything he wrote. I don't think it's worth it

Is it crazy that I don't think that the guy is the shooter? I don't see the EA crowd, famous for bootlicking, being up to the task of CEO assassination.
