Faking good sportsmanship for camerafrom @sven_johnson_
[01]
Overview
The creator acts out a highly toxic and aggressive pickup basketball game, repeatedly hitting and insulting his opponent. After a barrage of physical and verbal abuse, he suddenly shifts his demeanor, shakes the opponent's hand, and offers fake words of encouragement. He then breaks character, looks directly at the camera, and instructs the 'editor' to cut out all the toxic behavior and only show the brief moment of good sportsmanship, delivering a meta-joke about fake online personas.
