"Based" is a term that is often used in alt-right circles (and 4chan, and some other places too). It isn't exclusive to these communities, but using it signals to readers what one's political beliefs (or at least community associations) are.
The author of this page has some... questionable beliefs. And the use of this term is part of signaling that without sticking "a fascist-adjacent person's guide to cooking" on the header.
Oh got it! This is actually helpful thank you. I’m usually quick to recognize their code but it was so inundating the last few years I couldn’t keep up.
1. I have no idea what I’m supposed to associate with your “imagine” scenario. I associate “lit” with drunk or high, but I doubt that’s what you meant?
2. I didn’t denigrate anything, I asked what something meant.
3. My... bigotry? Excuse me but what? I didn’t recognize a slang term.
4. I’m not gonna guess which 60% was sarcastic. But more than that was defensive.
5. To the extent it was important and valuable to me to have it identified, I couldn’t care less about “othering” a group of people that have murdered people I care about and expressed wanting me and my loved ones dead. Yep you read between the lines, I’m biased against people who want to do violence against me and my loved ones. What a fucking revelation.
6. I wish a cooking site could be something that doesn’t attract this bullshit. But since it can’t. How fucking dare you call me a bigot.
7. Edit: I’m 0% sarcastic here, I don’t need to put up a facade to be sincere.
