Is it just me, or does anyone else cringe when people make up fake conversations to make a point that didn’t require it.
Making fun of someone with an obviously fake conversation is a universal staple, from classroom to a boardroom.
+10 points if you do the voice, - 100 if the voice is a racial stereotype
Do I lose 100 points if I say "merica! Fuck yeah!" When I hear about us news?
-10 points if the person you are doing an impression of is standing right behind you.
+5 points if you realize it mid way through by the look on your audience’s faces.
Racial stereotype. What do you mean? Imitating an Indian scam call from a scam factory in India having a conversation with you is viable with an Indian accent if it adds to the story.

Idk, does it still count as a strawman if you're doing it to make fun of him rather than make an argument against something he said? I don't think it does.
Technically, yes, but we're all supposed to be smart enough to understand context.
What if the straw man is more coherent than the person you're making fun of?
I just think relying on a strawman is not a very good way to make fun of something.
He says so much dumb shit that you don't really have to exaggerate in order to make him sound stupid.
Nobody has to do anything. But this is fun, see? We're pro fun around here.
Eh, I'd have more fun if we didn't mention this asshat altogether. 😛
There was always the option of simply not partaking in the post or comments. Hell, you can even hide it if it bothers you that much.
