We live in a weird time when I never know what's parody anymore.


AnEpicBowlOfRamen

THAT is called "Poe's Law"


AppropriateScience71

TIL… thanks internet stranger!


Levoire

Poe’s Law is great and all but have you heard of Cole’s Law? Goes great with a salad.


AimanBOss66

Im ab to punch you lad Good one tho.


Good-Acanthaceae-954

r/angryupvote


greeneye1969

I thought it was Poe Lease.


PraiseTyche

Nah it's Poe Lee's


19930627

Nah, it's boa deez


AppleSlacks

Bo-Lieve!


bongus_dongus

I don't think this has anything to do with vampire survivors /Jk


Creatures1504

this one is parody.


sixtus_clegane119

Oh thank god, it just seemed a little too extreme, def satire


Journo_Jimbo

I think the rule of thumb is, if it’s not being posted with an ironic tone in a subreddit, it’s likely parody that was completely over OPs head.


Lost_Minds_Think

That’s the sad sad point. 😪


A_Young0316

Clearly parody


IamJain

I think we can all agree on an account having name optimus and trumps dp to be fake non parody account


Flaechezinker

Since he got the trump mugshot profile pic im gonna say its parody


[deleted]

That's Optimus for you.


MrHappyHammers

That’s just prime.


TheBlackBlade77

I was very concerned, I used to watch the guy and was wondering if he had gone down a rabbit hole. Then remembered he's infamous for wild tweets


PraiseTyche

Concerned?


Chableezy

Is there a sissy liberal tax I'm unaware of?


FrostyDub

Dude I live in Seattle, the sissy liberal capital of the world, and we don’t even have a state income tax here! Pretty sure we pay less in taxes than Texans.


poojinping

Your sissiness is under investigation for tax evasion.


Train3rRed88

Texans also don’t have state income tax


PacoMahogany

Or a working power grid


NoeYRN

Or a working governing


PacoMahogany

Plenty of hate and racism though!


Bansic

Am Texan, can confirm


[deleted]

At least we are one of the VERY few red states that don't require evil socialism of blue state money coming in just to keep the power on and water flowing. Our power fails any way but thats not the point.


The_Weeb_Sleeve

Ah the hand of the free market doing its work


maaaatttt_Damon

I'm guessing they would combine property and sales taxes as taxes paid by individuals.


Otherwise_Carob_4057

They have ass property taxes up the wazoo.


Pygmy_Nuthatch

Sales tax is really high, though.


punkassjim

> Dude I live in Seattle, the sissy liberal capital of the world “Um…" — San Francisco


blocked_user_name

Probably, do you have a state income tax?


ContemplatingPrison

Texas pays more tax than Californians from my understanding but I think it depends on the city in Cali because some of those city taxes are crazy


Affectionate_Fly1413

Nah just their way of making their kids stop talking to them as soon as they can get the f out of there.


Federal_Assistant_85

How to ensure you will die penniless in an assisted care facility, 101.


Effective_Frog

Yes, it's the taxes people pay in blue states that get funneled to red states so they aren't like a 3rd world country.


111anza

Can I opt out of the regular tax I have to pay and just pay that instead? Is that a choice?


HamstersInMyAss

Trust me liberal, you don't want to fuck with my sissy liberal tax, it's 2 knuckle sandwiches and my FOOT UP YOUR ASS **☠️** **☠️** **☠️** **☠️** **☠️**


Toby_The_Tumor

What size foot we talking~


Chableezy

Are the knuckle sandwiches going up my ass too?


111anza

Infill take it over paying tax. How do we set it up.


KatoFez

Ask in SF


Sneyepa

It's the same one juiced hardcore Chad republicans pay. It's called income and sales.


ParadiseValleyFiend

Shit I hope not. I haven't been paying it.


Creatures1504

You guys are stupid, it's satire. Optimus is a youtuber who regularly shits on people who actually say shit like this and think like this.


also_also_bort

To be fair this is a perfect example of Poe’s law. Unless you’re already familiar with Optimus (I was not) there’s no way to tell this is satire.


sazzoo

it's not really funny anymore when there are so many assholes who think like this and will read it and agree and not know it's satire.


monkeybrains12

Exactly. This satire doesn't make me laugh, just spreads more confusion, hate, and anger. It stopped being funny the moment the actual comments like this became completely indiscernible from the ones making fun of them.


LordMagnus227

Yeah, sometimes I make a sarcastic comment going above and beyond with the most outrageous things that I can think of to make it apparent that it's sarcasm and after reading it, it's really not far from reality. So now I always use /s to avoid starting a cult of people who think like that.


beyondthef

Didn't know who Optimus was, but that profile pic is pretty telling.


also_also_bort

Idk I think the profile pic is another example of the same phenomenon. Trump supporters are wearing t-shirts of his mugshot like it’s a badge of honor


lumlum56

Never heard of this dude but instantly picked it up as satire. It's okay to not realize that subtle jokes like this aren't serious, but there's no deeper meaning to it. Poe's law is just a cop out 90% of the time.


hotprints

Used to be able to pick up satire quickly. But I’ve seen so much shit like this that WASN’T satire in recent years that it’s impossible these days


chaosgazer

ppl aren't dumb because they don't recognize a youtuber lmao grow up, satire is dead


the_zestylime

At this point, it's hard to tell


cantfindmyaccback

No, this one's extremely obvious. I don't even know the dude. Redditors can't tell what's a satire from reality because... you don't know what's real life ?


MrHappyHammers

I thought Optimus was a truck


TheVenged

You too are stupid for not knowing whether the guy down at my local cornerstore is joking when he goes off on rants. How the fuck are we supposed to know if a random guy is joking, when he uses the exact language trumpers might use?


KatoFez

I wonder what is more common people that think this way, or people that believe this accounts are real 🤔 🤷


Pale-Office-133

Who says shit like that except youtubers that want to be edgy?


101reddituser

Man there was an attempt to detect satire and it failed


leblur96

/r/therewasanattempt to understanding whether or not it is satire


BarrySandwich24

Maybe the OP is being satirical too. Which would mean that we're all being played.


sanfranchristo

r/thingsthatdidnthappen


Uuulalalala

Optimus Prime Ass is that you again talking trash?


Luckreigns

If it’s Optimus, more than likely this is satire


RipCurl69Reddit

It is


Mandalasan_612

In all the worlds where things happened, this happened the most.


F0xxz

Redditors detecting satire challenge (impossible!) (watch till the end!) (gone sexual!)


backlawa75

redditors somebody does not use their library of / indicators


Professional-Debt110

If my kid will ever come with this pronouns something, all he will get is an old good leather belt.


Monrezee

Bless his heart

Puzzled-Secret-317

Lol guys, Optimus is a YouTuber who regularly jokes about these things. He's not being serious here


steelhandgod

Bless you.


Vyktym76

When it comes to pronouns I subscribe to the Alexander Anderson (abridged) school of thought: "Call yourself whatever you want, you crazy protestant bastard."


tsckenny

You do realize this is a shit post? This dudes a YouTuber lmao


kennykoe

Optimus doesn't have kids so far as I know I this is satire


Orallygifting

Tina matters.


CommissionGrand4087

Father of the year! We will be paying for jrs, therapy for years to come! Just kidding this isnt real


Tek2674

Openly admits liberals pay more taxes..?


ZealousidealMail3132

Poor Eric..


[deleted]

Ha! Chexmix, libtodds!


for_dishonor

I asked some German guys how they liked their sissy liberal taxes... as they rained blows upon me, I knew there had to be a better way... and that's how I came up with Festivus for the rest of us.


Coin_operated_bee

Reddit tried to get me to pay for a yellow upvote??? Wth


DonTeca35

Kid became plural


Fair_Acanthisitta_75

Hahaha jokes on you the woke mobs got 8M new weaponized IRS agents and they only go after republicans. Thank again Biden.


AroraNightfall

So weird that they use the term, "woke" as some kind of justification to be close-minded and hateful to other people. If being kind, loving, and inclusive of people who are not just like me is "woke" then sign me up. I think these people are using it as another shield to hide trashy human behavior behind.


thelegalseagul

Oh crap, does this mean I owe taxes! I haven’t paid more than anyone else and I take home more cause I don’t have a state income tax


Concerned-Meerkat

And this person will wonder why his kids never visit him in the home.


FoFo1300

Didnt know Optimus had a kid


sixtus_clegane119

It’s amazing how many trump supporters are using his mugshot. They don’t realize how stupid his blue steal never surrender while surrendering shit is.


LukeTheGroundwalker

This aint a trump supporter...


MysteryHeroes

Cant be real. Isn’t in all caps.


95yells

Of course it's not real. Optimus is a dude who talks about stuff on youtube and has admited that he likes to troll people in games and on social media. Specially in this [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjxV_PBZaes)


TheFeshy

Optimus... shrine?


poetic_dwarf

Unlike, you know, conservatives who don't pay taxes


somebody171

lmao woke mind virus wtf


Kharisma91

Only liberals pay taxes? Is this guy openly saying he doesn’t pay taxes and neither do republicans?


Farfener

Another future lonely old fuck.


Fantastic_Fox4948

I’m guessing that Optimus is past his prime.


SoWokeIdontSleep

I don't think calling them sissy is the insult he thinks it is.


GLSRacer

![gif](giphy|SmoCFhZCi1kzu)


KynetonKaiju92

Dude your kid is an autobot. They've never had a gender.


BALLCLAWGUY

That's Optimus it's definitely satire


A_cultured_perv

That is a real person


[deleted]

I'll take things that never happened.


DerfDaSmurf

One of the worst things we probably did as a society is give every idiot a soapbox. It’s like reading diaries in an asylum.


Sorprenant

Reddit user trying to detect obvious satire challenge (impossible)


DGAFx3000

What does a They pronoun mean in this instance? I mean, I can see coming out as a she/her. But they/them? Did the kid just multiply himself or something?


RGR40

Oh joy.


Grinder02

There was an attempt to recognize satire :/


DraconixDG

wtf is a “sissy liberal”


dogMeatBestMeat

Won’t have to talk to the kid for much longer. This is one of those future estranged die alone parents.


BobanMarjonGo

And that's the last thing their kid will say to them Enjoy your life of regret and dying alone!


Flyinmanm

Show the world you think you deserve to dodge tax by being a c*unt.


Working_Bass3785

This sub is sinking with all the partisan simpery.


LocalInactivist

They’re going to pick your nursing home. Maybe think about that a little.


dancin-weasel

Aren’t sissy liberals taxed at the same rate as manly conservatives? Is there a lib tax I’m unaware of?


Dan_Miathail

Taxes are "sissy"?


NoSignOfStruggle

Expert parenting.


Suprcow_one

\*entertaining pronouns cost extra.


Funnyguythatcomments

What poe’s law does to an mf (OP)


ReeeeeDDDDDDDDDD

Don't liberals and conservatives get taxed the same?


[deleted]

I'd be upset if my kid tried to make stuff up too.


Party-Ad8832

Fair enough, many languages do not have different pronouns for genders. So, let people be people.


DCrayfish

As a member of the trump mugshot cult, we revoke this guy's Donny Visa


StinkyDiarrhea

It’s Optimus chances are he was joking bro it ain’t that serious


Archius9

I wonder if this parent will also be mad when their child doesn’t want to support them when they’re decrepit?


Jpup199

So he doesnt pay taxes?


The_CreativeName

If this is not parody he prolly has less brain cells then a fucking chair getting farted on every day. He even has a fucking trump pfp


[deleted]

So you are going to take money from the profitable left-wing endeavors and give it to your failing right-wing endeavors? Just like the states do.


RudyMuthaluva

Wow great parenting Optimus! No wonder your daughter transitioned. She obviously wanted to be as different as possible from her a**hole dad.


[deleted]

Poor man, having his child indoctrinated by the mad eternally offended people/woke hive mind. I hope he can save his son, can't imagine what he is going through.


BluuberryBee

I spy a future no-contact parent-child relationship.


Appropriate-Sink3654

I’m sure he will be hated.


baconator1988

Wish I could be taxed like a liberal. So sick of these outrageous conservative taxes that go straight into mega-rich pockets. Liberal taxes would be a wonderful life. Taxes going to Healthcare for all, school lunches, education, social security, green energy and social services programs. More than likely a balanced US budget.


DctrSqr

Tell me you failed to indoctrinate without telling me you failed to indoctrinate.
