This. It's not a legitimate counterpoint and I roll my eyes every time I see it.

I like it. The uncertainty of the stutter suggests that the speaker knows that their point is weak, but wants to insist upon it anyway, not because it actually contributes anything to the conversation, but because they don't want to lose an argument.

It's also particularly effective at highlighting false equivalencies.

It's cartoonish and reductive, and that's by design. It's not supposed to be an actual attributable quote. It's supposed to visually telegraph a sarcastic summary of a bad argument.

No one actually says stuff like "Just 'X' things," but we collectively know is meant when someone summarizes a topic as "Y'know, just CE things."

One specific snarky phrase, in a place rife with snarkiness.
Of all the things for CE to get pissy about.

No one is getting pissy no one is saying you have to stop.

It's "just look man that's obnoxious" y'all are the ones getting hurt.
