    IMZY is a website and they are coloured by that bubble.

Imzy is not just any website. It's advertised as the anti-Reddit, the kinder, gentler version of Reddit, founded by Reddit ex-execs.

They have a clear message. It has partnered with Lena Dunham.

Lena Dunham... this person. Did some more digging into IMZY and it looks like they are trying to become a left-wing Free Republic with a lot of TMZ/Entertainment Weekly and Silicon Valley Venture Capital Culture mixed in. Places like this have their function, but there is a reason I don't go there.

That's wonderful. I've been telling everyone lately that the reason why this election was so horrible was because it wasn't polarized and sensationalized enough. A website like that will go far to fix that issue for future discourse.

francopoli is right when he says that there are going to be a lot of parodies and sarcasm that is not detected and taken seriously.

I can't tell if this is sarcasm. Is this sarcasm?

I'm pretty sure I know groups on both sides of that opinion, with a group squarely on that opinion.

It's sarcasm. :)

Lena Dunham is an entirely self-serving person who does more harm than good to feminist movements.
