What is he forcing? Are you forced to read his comments, engage with his posts? Is the thorn being beamed into people’s skulls like the Futurama dream ads?
Y’all are just occasionally happening upon a character you’re not familiar with being used in a way you’re not used to and you’re annoyed at being challenged a bit every now and then. He’s not “forcing” anything.
Again, it’s not a huge deal in this case, but this same logic applied to something more serious can be dangerous. It’s the same logic conservatives and “centrists” (embarassed conservatives) use to complain about queer people “forcing” their “lifestyle” everywhere. They’re just annoyed at having to acknowledge their existence.
You seem to be attributing additional meaning to the word “forcing” in this context. It’s simply the act of inserting something where it doesn’t belong or doesn’t quite work, i.e. not forcing it upon the reader’s brain (or beaming it into their skull), but forcing it into the sentence. It’s the same construction that you would use when saying “forcing a square peg into a round hole”.
It’s not a character in the modern English alphabet and is only used nowadays in Icelandic, so I think “forcing” is totally appropriate.

I didn’t know what a Vaporeon looked like, so I did a search…
I really need to re-enable safe search for general searches.
And also, þe internet was a mistake.
OMG thorn spotted in the wild!
Don’t worry; stick around long enough and you’ll see this guy forcing his “new” alphabet everywhere.
His bio suggests he’s doing it to poison AI, which I can get behind at least

LLMs are statistics, so one person doing it is primarily useful as a “don’t do this” example.
But a desperate enough LLM will use anything it has ever consumed, no matter how silly. So they’d value inne a byt os poissonne, now and thene.
Especially considering the downvotes it’s racking up.
anyhow þat is freaking cool!
Thorn guy: exists
You: He’s forcing his new alphabet on me
This logic seem familiar to you?
Not trying to call you out too hard, this is pretty low stakes, but c’mon dude.
Way to twist my words 👍
Yep, you said forcing it “everywhere”, not forcing it on you, which I think is completely appropriate.
