I don’t know, this sounds a lot like the kind of poo poo a former friend of mine used to get up to.

years ago I moderated a roleplaying group and I found this 100% believable. It could definitely be fake, but I've seen worse

These are always insanely fake

I've definitely had similar (but admittedly none of them quite this bad) interactions with gross nerds in high school and college.

God, I wish I had thought to screencap it back then, but a friend of mine and I confronted a guy (over IRC) about spreading a rumor that he was sleeping with her and halfway through the interaction he started roleplaying as his Black Spiral Dancer character, complete with those *shifts into werewolf form* action stars. poo poo was insane.

I doubt that one's fake because I can't actually imagine who'd fake it. This doesn't smell like any of the usual strawmen that any corner of the internet would make fun of, there's too much detail and effort here.

Can’t imagine why anyone would fake something on the internet. What could they gain from having millions of people view their viral tweet???

Oh, I'm not saying someone wouldn't fake this. I'm saying I don't know who would fake this, when there's much lower-hanging fruit.

I know AskAubry's usual content, and while I believe a lot of it's real (because... well, men are pretty poo poo) I can also say I'd know exactly how to fake something she'd share with way less effort than this; her content is usually the real bottom-rung men on dating apps, and occasional Reddit relationship posts about entertainingly troubling relationships. Very typical stuff, but you also know there's shitloads of guys like that, so it doesn't read as too generic.

But this? This is WAY too specific for that, and has way too much detail. If you just wanted to fake a lovely guy for a viral tweet, you wouldn't go through this much effort.

As far back as ~1998 I was amused at the idea of an infinite firehose of bot-generated email spam content flooding ceaselessly out over the Internet, only to be swallowed and deleted by an infinite garbage disposal of bot-driven spam detection software on mail servers, such that 99.99999% of the fiber infrastructure capacity of the world is being absorbed by useless bot chatter that no humans actually see, and the only useful content is the 0.00001% that somehow makes it through

Just an army of robots screaming endlessly and deafeningly at each other, in their own invisible world

The novel Anathem mentions an Internet-like information network that began to develop a bot problem. Companies started selling software to filter out garbage bot data, but then to try and beat the competition they started flooding the network with their own garbage data, then other companies followed suit, until most of the netweork was just fake info.

Oh one piece is about pirates who go around killing military leaders and literally have bounties on their heads as they try and unite the various pirate factions with the one piece.

Black Clover is just a shonen anime in a medieval fantasy world so I have no clue how he got there

The pirate kid spends all his time toppling tyrants. Like, the entire run of the series. One Piece owns
