They have Mom cut their hair. They enjoy commercials with talking babies. They are pro-Team Jacob. Sometimes they almost seem to understand the connection between their casual misogyny and their perennial datelessness. And they want you to make them a sandwich, bitch.

Some of these juxtapositions are just incredible.

Maybe I'm an old curmudgeon, but it seems like this is just giving attention to obnoxious teenagers and loudmouth manchildren who are best ignored.

I just don't know if there's an appropriate way to react to this. It's horrible, tragic, and mindboggling in ways that mean all I can do is gape and then avert my eyes as fast as I possibly can.
Mainly, though, I cannot imagine it being much fun being a mother to any one of these people.

As a teenager I indulged in "comedy sexism", because I thought that was clever. I probably wouldn't have used this particular turn of phrase, but then I grew up before this became a thing, so who knows? I'm not certain shaming teenagers is a brilliant idea, even if they are awful. In particular, their twitter handles are all available in those posts.
