The Daily Mail is famous for its uniquely British mixture of judgy prurience and good old-fashioned xenophobia. So naturally the comments section of its online edition is home to some of the worst takes the internet has to offer.

The other day I was introduced to a Twitter account that catalogs the worst of these terrible takes. Specifically, to this tweet, which I obviously needed to share with you all:

COMMENT OF THE DAY: “A feminised vegan society leaves us open to attack because meat gives men testosterone.” #RememberFrance pic.twitter.com/JbXUqX31Rh — The DM Reporter (@DMReporter) April 26, 2019

Bad science and racism, two terrible tastes that taste extra terrible together! And the misspelling of “testosterone” as “tostesterone” is … chef’s kiss!

Also, I’m pretty sure most French people aren’t vegan.

But this tweet is only the top of the iceberg. Here are some other, well, illuminating insights on assorted gender-related issues that The DM Reporter has plucked from the vast wasteland of the Daily Mail comments.

STANDARDS: Attractive woman makes the mistake of tweeting about something, so we raid her Facebook page for a sexy picture and give our readers free reign to comment about how much they’d like to cum on her tits.

BANK HOLIDAY WARNING: It’s hot out there. Please remember to drink responsibly, avoid confrontation and be on the look out for the Daily Mail who’ll be taking long lens snaps of you so their judgemental, masturbating readers can call you fat / decide which of you they’d fuck. pic.twitter.com/TGiLas4c2o — The DM Reporter (@DMReporter) April 22, 2019

CONTROL: Mail readers just love telling women what they can and can’t wear. pic.twitter.com/6u5JvYbEkV — The DM Reporter (@DMReporter) March 29, 2019

NEWZ: To their credit, Mail readers are taking the announcement of an all-female Newsnight line-up pretty well.



Just kidding, they think it’s a politically correct feminist conspiracy to emasculate white heterosexual males by hook-nosed socialists at the BBC. pic.twitter.com/OwwUhKsXXU — The DM Reporter (@DMReporter) March 20, 2019

RUSSIAN SCIENTISTS: “We have invented time-travel.”



MAIL READER: “Use it to stop the success of women.” pic.twitter.com/GNplAhRD7Q — The DM Reporter (@DMReporter) March 13, 2019

TOMORROW: Just a reminder that the paper currently outraged about girls harming themselves over poor body image is the same paper that takes photos up the skirts of drunk women so their readers can call them fat. pic.twitter.com/HiYHd7k20T — The DM Reporter (@DMReporter) February 22, 2019

RIP: We celebrate all the times Karl Lagerfeld said nasty things about women, because that’s hilarious and, coincidentally, one of our favourite pastimes too. pic.twitter.com/hZKD9ny7YB — The DM Reporter (@DMReporter) February 20, 2019

THE PRINCESS DIARIES: Two women who married royalty go about their business. Compare and contrast. pic.twitter.com/kvTPb7jVwr — The DM Reporter (@DMReporter) February 15, 2019

ON THE LEFT: ‘Fury as NHS give trans children sex change drugs.’



ON THE RIGHT: ‘Fury as trans children are buying black market sex change drugs.’



TRANSLATION: ‘Fury that they exist.’ pic.twitter.com/XnfMCSTOXh — The DM Reporter (@DMReporter) April 24, 2018

This final tweet really doesn’t have anything to do with gender but I feel sort of bad for the Daily Mail’s Russian Misery correspondent

COVERAGE: Will Stewart is the Mail’s man in Moscow and he may well have the bleakest output of any journalist working today. pic.twitter.com/LU84UZGlFo — The DM Reporter (@DMReporter) April 24, 2019
