As long as the intended reading was conveyed, what’s the problem?
Using commas as pauses in speech gets the intent across, even if it isn’t the “correct” punctuation. That’s why people keep doing it. People read your examples of Shatnerisms with commas and think its fine, and if enough people think it’s fine then it actually is. Rules aren’t real.
The OP is garbage, though. It comes across as stuttery and, like you said, minced.
…that’s why when you see it done wrong you call it out. So the wrong way to do it doesn’t become the new normal and you have to spend the rest of your life seeing people write “your an idiot”.
Cool, I’m a fascist because I don’t respect your made up language rules. DeSantis wants to put people like me in concentration camps, why the fuck you wanna compare me to that monster for not caring about punctuation rules?
Language is democratic. We make it up together. There’s nothing “objective” about it.

I mean, yeah…

If it’s the new normal then, by definition, it’s not wrong.
It’s just whining about aesthetics at that point.

Jesus fucking Christ
I’m going to die in a camp because I’m queer, not because someone uses commas when they should use ellipsis. What’s wrong with you?
