https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titania_McGrath
Titania McGrath (@TitaniaMcGrath) is a parody Twitter account created and run by comedian and Spiked columnist Andrew Doyle . . . a fictional 24-year-old "radical intersectionalist poet committed to feminism, social justice and armed peaceful protest" who identifies as non-binary, "polyracial" and ecosexual.
Andrew Doyle, the creator of McGrath, describes her as "a militant vegan who thinks she is a better poet than William Shakespeare." He revealed to The Daily Telegraph that she is named after Titania, the queen of the fairies from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, as he believes that "all of this 'woke culture' is an utter fantasy world."

Could you imagine having Titania in your life? Be grateful you were only grazed by her.
You know it’s parody by a British comedian, right? Though the stuff he points out is quite real.

If chess isn't racist, how do you explain Bobby Fischer being so good at it?

I do now. It’s quite tragic when it’s hard to tell anymore. I did think it was satire at first but the stridency of the #cancelculture punked me. My mistake was okay this is funny then I clicked on the tweet and only looked at Titania’s banner which was enough to punk me.
So here is where we are at. No longer can you take much at face value, it is the beginning of the quest for context.
I mean even the NYT punked the world on the Russian bounty thing... or did they get punked?

It doesn’t really matter that Titania McGrath is a parody account. The linked stories are real. At least in the sense that they are actual stories.

That might depend on whether she's engaging in satire or slapstick.
(I can't believe I just thought of that)
