Are these pet names? Is this passive aggressive contempt? Or is this an inside joke that I don’t get?
- Kye 5y agoAdding dramatic flair is a timeless hobby. Like most things, it gets shorter with time. It's basically: That den of capitalist hubris, the Mart of Wally For a new era.
- Karrot_Kream 5y agoIt's passive aggressive contempt. They're pretty commonly used in leftist online circles to gently insult the original sites.
- vagrantJin 5y agoI would skew towards inside joke pet names For a few reasons. Firstly, sometimes a shot needs to be taken at said websites and there are people who work there who will be reading it. Secondly, because inside jokes are the best jokes.
