Online can be a hellish place. In this episode, Jared and Mike dive into the darkest corners of the web with Will Stancil, a civil rights attorney recently turned into a literal cartoon by far-right extremists. After enduring years of online harassment, Stancil became the target of a Hitlerite activist Emily Youcis, whose mocking web animation has found unsettling popularity — even among powerful tech reactionaries like Marc Andreessen.

Stancil unpacks what he’s been through, reflects on how to stay grounded amid relentless hate, and laughs at himself along the way. Plus: the trio swap thoughts on late-night snacking, favorite music, and disastrous first dates. It’s an episode that truly lives up to the Posting Through It name.
