Title: When did everything go wrong and people became weak AF?
Post by: Cerveza mas fina on February 11, 2018, 01:01:16 PM: Like seriously people are a bunch of pussy ass bitches nowadays fuuuuck

Peter Rabbit film criticised for depicting 'allergy bullying'
Scene in which rabbits attack a man with blackberries, knowing he is allergic to them, condemned as dangerous

Quote
As a mother of a toddler allergic to several foods, I am disgusted that Sony would make a joke out of flicking an allergen at a food allergic individual. Doing so is felony aggravated assault! What kind of message does that scene send to kids?! #boycottpeterrabbit

I deeply offended over your use of a Simpsons image- This is "Simpsons Bullying" and you are clearly not thinking of the individuals with allergies to The Simpsons.

Fast forward 72 hours and we'll see another "vicious alt-right Trump supporting trolls terrorize middle aged mother in her own home" type story that they love to run. Absolute fucking joke of a shit-tier newspaper. It has absolutely no more journalistic merit or integrity than the Daily Mail.

Post by: headwalk on February 11, 2018, 07:38:40 PM: the guardian was the last newspaper i read on the reg. my mum always bought it so it was my default. don't recognise it anymore. it's like an old mate that starting reading darkweb sites and went off the deep end.

i remember i went to a fireworks display a year or two back which opened with "ecstasy of gold". i was expecting some chart wank so i was fairly taken a back by them showing some degree of taste, the response was muted but i was made up at getting to watch some fireworks to a soundtrack that didn't make me envy the deaf. then the drop happened. everyone cheered and normal service was resumed.

what i appreciated most was just a folksy callback before the real action.

that's what getting old feels like.

Why is the very common practice of embedding Tweets a blatant invitation? Is it always an inviation, or just this time?

The original tweet was a bit mental. It's a massive overreaction to something relatively benign that would most likely have never ever been copycatted. By signal boosting the tweet, The Guardian have brought it to a much wider audience. Inevitably, some of that audience are going to respond with the standard "pull yourself together, woman" tweets and there'll be the usual suspects that take it too far and send her pictures of berries, nazi Pepes and the usual autistic shit you get from professional trolls. All of these tweets will be aggregated and before long, it'll be reported that she received literally hundreds of hateful messages, when in reality, it'd probably be 90% of bemused, level-headed people disagreeing with her (with varying degrees of sarcasm) and a handful of shitty messages and threats.

Should this happen? No. Would it have happened if the Guardian had at least obfuscated the identity of the mother who posted the tweet? Probably not. Will every reply to that tweet that doesn't agree with the message be aggregated together as "proof" that Trump has caused the world to go to shit and cis white men are literally murdering minorities with mean tweets? Abso-fucking-lutely.

Post by: Rufus on February 12, 2018, 06:39:48 AM: I stopped reading the guardian (and most international press) years ago, when I found that I read maybe one article out of a hundred. I do think your claim about it might be a tad hyperbolic though, so it'd be neat if you could post an example of that happening in the past so I can grab some search terms and see for myself how bad it actually is.

Post by: ToxicAdam on February 14, 2018, 09:07:59 AM: I don't ever remember a time where there WASN'T this type of thing.

Even back in the 80's, you had an outrage of the month that would incite people to write letters to their congressman, corporate entity, newspaper decrying something benign that was surely a sign of our country collapsing.

To answer your question, everything went wrong when the media realized they could take these few voices and create "conflict" or controversy out of it and then people like you are attracted to it because it enrages you. This vicious cycle encourages other loons to complain because they see that the media will report it.

More like social media has made it very easy for media to do what they've always done. I've literally seen "stories" or "controversies" created out of cobbled together youtube/facebook replies.

Then we get mad at those people who say stupid shit and click on the links, which further emboldens people to say stupid shit.

It's a vicious cycle.

the internet changed all that. now you can start off by having what you want to say and google will do your legwork, finding academic sources to back up any old bollocks.

the media is the same way now. you can push literally any angle of any story you want and there will be an army of twitter mongs there to validate it.

Post by: I'm a Puppy! on February 15, 2018, 06:42:37 PM: I blame the internet. It made it easy for people to create insular circles of people that agree with them. So when they get all up in a hissy fit about something, they're doing it around people who find it normal and treat them normally for it. If I wanted to get up and shout about how there just weren't enough vegan latino librarian gunslingers in videogames it's hard to tell whether the shouts of "Shut up!" or the laughter would be louder. Now? There'd be a vocal group being like "he's right you know!"
