It would be interesting to see how this bizarre affectation was developed and why it has spread so widely.
It reminds me of the video of the teen in Australia who trashed his parent's house with a party and gets interviewed by a ditzy news anchor.
It is funny to listen to her because you can see her fighting with herself to keep up the fake newspeak. Her diction starts out in bogus mode, and when the teen doesn't follow her script, she kind of loses it, regains it, and loses it again.
The bone of contention being his glasses. She can't get over his glasses, and as a result we get to see the war in her soul between the professional woman and the private woman.
There's a great moment at 2:36 where she drops the act, kind of squirms in her seat, and becomes a plain old woman challenging a man.
She doesn't really recover after that.
Once Was Not said:I'm not sure if there is a name for it, but the way news anchors speak. I call it capital letter vernacular. Because They Always Seem To Be Talking Like Every First Letter In A Word Is Capitalized And Holy Shit Is It Annoying. Or they'll be talking like normal until a key phrase comes up and suddenly it gets this dramatic enunciation and, again, it's like all the words start capitalized.
Here let me see if I can put on my best NPC programming bot impression:
"Tonight in lgbtbbq666 news a Local Mom is Speaking Out about the Culture Of Misogyny at the Pro Rape Fraternity her White Male son goes to, and how she is Advocating For Change and says we have a Long Way To Go. Local feminist experts say Something Needs To Change."
Something like that. Can't stand that shit, it's practically unlistenable . And that's aside from the whole blatant progressive bias and incredible twisting of reality and "why you should think this way" pieces.

The dude with the Nintendo Switch looks like he creamed himself over a fucking video game system. All of the men look like they're all saying either "Take my wife" or "I love cock".
