Since a lot of y& #39;all are new here, let& #39;s talk about snitch-tagging. The first thing and really all you need to know is don& #39;t fucking do it. But here& #39;s why. In this instance, I talked shit about a shitty Kevin Smith movie. 1/
I know Kevin& #39;s probably on twitter but I didn& #39;t tag him. Now odds are, Kevin& #39;s got other shit going on and isn& #39;t as deranged as say, Elon Musk, who searches his own name to pick fights with random accounts who don& #39;t like him.
Kevin, like anyone with more than a few followers probably has his notifications set to only people who he follows. You have to or this fucking site becomes unusable. Verified accounts get a bonus where we can see only mentions by other verified accounts. I know. It& #39;s awesome.
Sometimes though, if we post something asking for replies like "what& #39;s your favorite kevin smith movie where Ben Affleck fucks a lesbian?" We& #39;ll search our handle so we can see your replies. This is where your fucking snitch-tag matters and why you get blocked.
Maybe Kevin& #39;s a decent person and having a bad day. Maybe his dog just fucking died. I don& #39;t know. I don& #39;t follow him and didn& #39;t tag him so he& #39;d never have seen me shitting on his movie, until you snitch-tagged him.
Now he& #39;s trying to find a place still open for dog burials and he& #39;s checking his mentions and every dipshit who doesn& #39;t remove the tag before responding to your stupid fucking snitch-tag is in his mentions dunking on you, his movie, me, his other movie, and some trump joke.
Maybe Kevin& #39;s a fucking asshole. Maybe he really does hate women and lesbians. You just served him a lesbian shitting on his movie. So he quote-tweets it for his douche-bro fan base and now my mentions are full of douche-bros calling me a dyke who needs a good deep-dicking
Now instead of whatever topic I wanted to tweet about, I& #39;m getting harassed by an army of incels who thought Clerks deserved an oscar. They spend a week insulting me, my mom and my dog. One of them doxxes me and now my fucking life is in danger because I didn& #39;t like Chasing Amy.
In other words, yeah. It& #39;s a public forum. Sometimes we talk shit knowing the person we& #39;re talking shit about has better things to do than search their name in case someone doesn& #39;t like them (except elon musk). If we want to tag someone, we& #39;ll tag them. Do not fucking snitch-tag.
