      Yeah, or idk - maybe something like 'smarm' is what snark calls its targets, like the con-men and their 'marks'.

      uwu might be the defensive version, though.

      "Uwu culture" is hiding "smarm" (civility norms) behind its own ironic mask to avoid the association with the previous generation of smarmy conservative Karens or whatever

      Yeah - it's an interesting pairing of a layer of irony, with a very, very intense rejection of any possible criticism. Smarm seeks to smother critics, snark fires back, while uwu escalates dramatically.

      I think of the Community line about "reverse-bullying" a lot in that context.

      Ultimately, it comes back to the old-fashioned sense of moral authority coming from being, if not the victim exactly, but at least not the primary aggressor.

      I mean yeah at its worst and most toxic, the Discourse is ALWAYS Maximum Snark paired with Maximum Smarm, the two go together That's why the GG 4chan fascist trolls tried to brand themselves as viciously nihilistic but were absurdly defensive of their sacred icons

      haha the way all kinds of shitty things and shitty people are held up by some rando as "the thing that coaxed me out of the closet", meaning you can't shit on it without de facto arguing they should still be in the closet

      Jeb Lund actually wrote about this ten years ago when he was talking about the Jay Leno/Conan beef that now feels like it happened when I was in the first grade (cn: ableist slur) http://www.mrdestructo.com/2010/01/happy-martin-luther-king-day-fuck-you.html …pic.twitter.com/OxmXg60RCC

      Man I miss the days when I gave a shit about the career of Conan O'Brien and bravely defended him night and day like it would somehow cause me personally to get hired for a job over a less qualified older person
