I'm not sure I've ever actually seen a real Ben Shapiro tweet. All I ever see are obvious fake ones like this. Like, there is a ton to make fun of Ben Shapiro for, but shit like this is just so low-effort it's childish.

This is the same flavor of shit as the Babylon Bee. It's "satire" but done in a way that there's no real joke. It's just "Hey look at what a piece of shit this person is! Here's a made up scenario where they act like a piece of shit!" And then idiots who believe everything they see online fail to notice that it's made up and take it as fact.

If labeling it as satire makes it not funny, maybe it’s just not funny

The Onion wrote an amicus brief on why that's not true.

Its like not being allowed to tell a joke with a straight face
