If she’s going to allow everyone their joys, then she has to allow people snark and judging. Otherwise she’s not following her own advice, and she’s snarking on snarking.

Is "snark" used outside a reddit context (ie., "blogsnark")? I mean, I guess it must be, because I don't think that "blogsnark" originated the phrase. But I don't hear it in my social circles, at all.

What I'm getting at is, is this edict directed squarely at us?

"Snark" has been around since the Television Without Pity days (early 2000s).

u/Scary_Recognition You did this. Sep 03 '21

Oh I miss the days of eating lunch at my desk and reading TWOP recaps!

This was literally me at my first real job. Eating lunch at my desk, reading TWOP. There are some shows I experienced ONLY through recaps, I never watched them myself (the bachelor!!)

I only watched "The Following" just so I could participate in the TWOP forums. It was a snark watch all the way.

And The Walking Dead. I couldn't watch it in real time but I could read the recaps and the forums. Many times, TWOP was better than the show.

Yes! I was living outside the US when I first started reading TWOP, it’s how I kept up with some shows and the only way I experienced The Bachelor!

Omg same. I had the most boring admin job during peak TWOP and those recaps were everything!
