Anyone who is interested in further analysis of this type of "comedy" should subscribe to Seth Simons' newsletter: https://www.humorism.xyz/

Seth has been writing about right-wing comics for years, and has suffered greatly for it. These guys and their followers are all aware of him and have made his life hell in a lot of ways, but he keeps on going, even though you can tell he often thinks it's futile. His goal is really to create a historical record of the things that are being said.

I look forward to TWP every week, but this time you've really outdone yourself. First, the content. Thank you for taking on this topic, that, though imperative to address and understand, is so onerous to experience while being a woman that it precludes my engagement. In fact, I have officially given myself permission to barricade any DudeBroDude content from entering my consciousness unfiltered. I'm not sure I'd trust anyone to do a better job of filtering and critiquing it than you. Second: the writing. Your writing this week is devastating. Spot on, tonally and witheringly astute. Last - the Titus Andronicus finish smote me. I feel changed.
