Yeah but people do stupid things every day. Let's be real about it, the dozens! of people who might have voted Harambe were going to vote for Deez Nuts, something equally stupid, or no one regardless. Focusing attention on it like it's important only feeds the fake news.

I'm not sure I agree with your contention that because lots of people do stupid stuff everyday, we shouldn't note individual acts of stupidity. Do keep in mind that this is one thread on a DW community frequented by a relatively small number of people, so I'm not sure how this is to blame for the media and modern journalism being crap.

Nah, that wasn't my point. My point was that people vote stupid pointless things in every election. Some of those things happening to be Harambe this time around was those people doing what they'd have been doing anyway and Harambe happened to be the meme of the time. The Harambe part is incidental.

It feeds fake news by spreading it around and making people like anon go "wow, really?" instead of relegating it to the non-issue it totally is. I have no clue where you got that I was trying to blame you for "the media and modern journalism being crap" ???

Okay, but just so you know, my initial comment didn't spread any fake news. I said "the people who threw away their vote on Harambe". I didn't claim there were thousands of people doing this.

Yeah, since anon's reaction was like "I thought it was a joke" I pointed out that the rumors of people throwing their vote away on Harambe are unverified and as far anyone can tell, fake news, and yes, probably a joke or at least done by people as a joke.
