Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.
And you left out the context that the account is shit posting, they aren't in this to engage in pages of discussion, they are there to put a few words next to SunTzu, and maybe laugh. This is why this discussion has been pointless for me though.
A: Shit posts about Kamala Harris
B: Asks question about Kamala Harris because it seems like they're talking nonsense about Kamala Harris
A: "WHOA man uncool"
I put this in the same category as people who instigate a fight and then claim they were only kidding around and why are you taking this so seriously, it's not that deep, WTF man why are you acting crazy, when someone responds with aggression to their aggression. In this case it is literally asking a question. If you don't want to talk about politics, don't post about politics, it is easily done.
So you don't understand you aren't supposed to try and get a conversation from gimmick accounts?
If the gimmick accounts start talking about Kamala Harris, talking up Tucker Carlson, whatever, I’m absolutely going to “try and get a conversation” with them, I.e. respond to the shitpost.
Don’t try to turn this around like I’m the one who’s being weird. Like I said, if someone wants to run a “gimmick accounts” that doesn’t insert weirdly incongruous commentary on politics that doesn’t really hold up if you examine it, this kind of problem where people start having suspicion about the politics they’re airing and the way they’re participating, will not happen, and they can just make their shitposts free of people responding to it or having opinions on it.
Go to a stand up comedy night, when a comedian makes a joke about politics, begin asking them questions about it. Tell us how it goes.
Yes, you are right. In that totally different and unrelated context it would be weird. Since this is the internet where replying to people is pretty normal and expected I have no idea what the fuck you're trying to say.
I will no longer take part in this conversation. I wish you the best with coming over time to understand things better though.
It is a very similar set up, someone doing a bit, on a virtual stage, for the purpose of telling jokes, and not having a conversation with their audience. Gimmick accounts are something that have been around for a long time, and there has never been an expectation of interacting with them on a serious level.
