I love spoofing as much as anyone else. But a lot of these works are at best kind of rubbernecking and at worse incredibly intellectually dishonest.
So many of these parodies are superficial in their criticism and largely view their source material as entirely beneath consideration.

I wandered around a bit with my circuit bent camera and appear to have gotten a good shot of a Hasidic chap rubbernecking a man half dressed as the Incredible Hulk.
More than anything I am puzzled as to how color/sartorialism = comicon
Whatever 🤷♀️

Sadly, as I've said before, Bluesky's nuclear block function means you have to do your rubbernecking in real time, or you miss it

Toronto broadcast isn't something I'd usually choose other than rubbernecking if the Leafs are imploding, but when it's between them and the Vegas clowns...

Looks like a really excellent night to log off early.
Please remember that rubbernecking does nothing to help the people in the tragedy. You have to look away if you want to get out the first aid kit and provide assistance.
If you don't have a kit & training, it is time to learn!

Whenever police brutality videos start to make the rounds, you have Black people telling the white people sharing them “stop spreading the videos of our trauma, we need activism, not rubbernecking.”
Same deal.
Do what you want, but it doesn’t make you The Ultimate Ally.

True safety requires systemic foresight, not rubbernecking at sensationalized disasters.

This time of year it’s not super unusual to have to wait for geese walking across the road. Today I waited for rubbernecking geese: a kind human jumped out of his truck to help a skunk with its face caught in a fast food drink container. Geese were so fascinated they just stood in the road.
