    That he keeps claiming it was about him, despite being told it wasn’t is just so odd.

    But hey, mirrors how they talk about sneerclub as their personal nemesis (despite SC talking about all lot of them and now awful.systems being more general).

      Like, I could completely understand being like “I’m not comfortable with you using my name for something like this. Even though you say it’s not about me there are enough similarities to the character that it could easily mislead people - myself included, as you can see - into thinking otherwise.” There is a reasonable version of this, but insisting that “lol someone wrote a play about me” and using it for clout years later is peak sneerable behavior.

      Also I want to sneer at Yud not understanding the concept of Off-Off-Broadway vs Off-Broadway but TBH I don’t understand the way that different tiers of theatrical prestige connect and can only assume that it’s like the circles of hell in Dante’s Inferno.

        FWIW my understanding is the “Off”-ness is just decreasing theatre size, but gets (mis)construed as less prestige/fame/quality etc. Fame is probably fine for construing, but prestige/quality is orthogonal. Like you could conceivably have absolute theatre mega stars do an epoch-defining production in an intimate 50-seat theatre or something, and that would still be “Off-off-broadway”.
