==Notable Astroturfers== | |||
Mortyposter is perhaps the most infamous example of an Astroturfer. Mortyposter joined incels.is on October 24, 2021. He quickly alienated other members on incels.is due to his sarcastic attitude and Redditor style of posting but the final straw was when he said the "IT archetypal lie that incels only prefer 10/10 women." showing that he was trying to stereotype incels as only wanting Stacies. Mortyposter was permanently banned from incels.is. Mortyposter then went on to create a slew of alt accounts, with the vast majority of these accounts being rejected. However, three of these alt accounts made by Mortyposter managed to sneak onto the site, but these accounts were quickly banned as well. | |||
