Gail Simone doesn't care if what she says is believable. She just likes saying dumb stuff to rile people up.

No the best part is that she found that out live, on air, on BBC radio

I think it should have been "good punk bands." More believable she has no taste than being that dumb.

You'll never make it big on social media with that attitude. That'd only give you one piece of bait. With this post she can then follow it with something specifying good punk bands.

Honestly, it's got the perfect ratio of people being in on the joke and people failing to read the room and taking the bait, with only about 1/4 or 1/5 falling for it. That makes it a lot funnier to me.

It's honestly the best mix of people, with some who get it and others who are totally falling for it even with the context. Way more hilarious to me.

It’s not faulty data that was disproven years later.

She was misreading the primary sources while believing that everyone who came before her was a total moron.

Anyone with any familiarity with the field could have explained why she was wrong and how in about twenty seconds.

The one thing though is their naming and titling. Like if the MAD reference was because of "President Dump" then yeah when they do joke versions of people or movies there often isn't a whole lot of leeway to change the name to something silly.

I've read this four times now trying to glean some kind of meaning from it and I can't. It's nothing. References strung together in grammatically valid but semantically empty ways. She's just saying the names of things from popular books and movies.
