Give Tony Armstrong The Logie For This Masterpiece Tackling Huge Issue Affecting Racists

Tony Armstrong just dropped a video on Instagram that could single-handedly solve a major issue racists are facing — grammar.

He’s introducing “Furore”, an app that helps racists get their grammar right when spewing slurs online. As Armstrong puts it, “Those grammar n-words are petty, but they do have a point.”

The video starts out with a man typing out a classic slur on X when he gets the rude awakening that he’s made a terrible spelling mistake! Thankfully Tony magically appears to introduce the little racist to Furore — think Grammarly, but for racism!

The app itself is presented as a super simple solution to this “problem”. Just type out your hate speech, hit check, and Furore will sort out the spelling for you. It even comes with a “focus mode” that rearranges your screen to help you get it right.

Armstrong jokes that it’s “like having a slave”! And the name? Well, it sounds like “F-U-R-O-R”, which is the cherry on top.

“Don’t you think that if you reckon another culture or race is inferior, the least you could do is convey that belief through the bare minimum grammatical standards of the colonial language that you’re using?” quips Tony.

So true bestie! It’s like, if you’re going to be a racist, at least have the decency to use the language correctly, right? It’s not too much to ask for some basic literacy when you’re spewing hate.

It’s clear that the public agrees this is a need. Personality Maria Thattil commented, “Hahahahah thank u for your service.”

Osher Günsberg had a suggestion for the app: “Can I put in a feature request for a plural apostrophe fix please? Bigot’s are especially abusive of that one.”

And writer Louis Hanson said what we were all thinking and called it “a masterpiece”.

Whether you find it funny or thought-provoking, Tony Armstrong’s Furore app is making waves. So, if you’re a racist looking to improve your spelling, Furore might be the app for you. 

Also, for all you dumb-dumb racists out there, this is what we call satire and a joke. I know it may be hard to understand with all the grammar in the comments being correct. I’m sure it’s overwhelming. But as Tony puts it, “To be aghast by both my nation’s culture and its illiteracy, that’s intolerable.” Intolerable indeed.
