Do you find that the people who accuse others of looking for something to be mad about, more often than not do that exact thing themselves? If they dislike something or someone, they latch onto any little thing they can, well, be mad about. Is it projection because they think everyone else does what they do?

I've literally never looked for something to be mad about someone or some fandom, the whole idea simply doesn't occur to me, but every person I've heard make this accusation about other people or groups does it themselves.

I'm of the opinion that every single person who reads Jezebel, regardless of which side they are on are looking for something to be angry about.

Being angry can feel good, tho, so I don't know how big feel about it.

I would say like 95% of the people who comment on Jezebel fit this description. I would say 99% of the people who comment on ONTD also fit this description.

I think it is also very true of people who comment on more conservative, traditionalist, right-leaning sites, but I stay so far away from those sites that I can't really venture a guess at the percentages.

Yeah, I think the extremes of both sides are only ever really interested in things that feed the extremism. They either go somewhere to hear opinions that validate themselves or they go to places that validate their feelings of their opponents.

Totally guilty of that in the past. Nowadays I'm getting Lola from both sides. Makes me feel more balanced. But at the same time I now run the risk of falling into the "Everyone but me is an idiot" trap.

Its why I think this whole laci green carnage is potentially a very good thing. Not just for the lols from both sides but it could very well chill out a lot of people.

Its why I think this whole laci green carnage is potentially a very good thing.

Oh no, I like Laci Green. Are people coming for her or something? It's highly unlikely I will think she deserves any "carnage." :(

SA

Ok, I just tried to google search this and I'm getting nothing. Well, it looks like she was thinking about leaving youtube a couple of months ago, and responses to that were very predictably mixed. But the fact that some people hate Laci Green has never been news. So I'm really not sure what you were referring to in your comment.

SA again.

Ok, I'm guessing that some people on the left took extreme umbrage at her "Taking The Red Pill?" video. I haven't really been following Laci's videos for a year or two now, and mainly followed her Sex Plus channel before, so I hadn't seen that one. But if that is the "carnage" you're referring to, then I think I get what you're saying.

Personally, I tend to agree with the vast majority of what Laci says, but I have also always been aware that, as with anyone who is extremely passionate about thought/theory-based subjects, Laci stands a very real risk of becoming increasingly radicalized over time. So I'm really glad to see her "Taking The Red Pill?" video, which shows that she is still capable of taking a step back and approaching things from a slightly different angle.

If people on the left are coming for her because of that video, that definitely does show an inability on their part to consider, and accept as valid, anything short of angry radicalism.

Ok, gonna stop necro-posting on this retired thread now.

People are always coming for laci green, but in this case its carnage she has caused by daring to say she wants to be more open to discussions with non/anti feminist's.

The internet then shit itself.

Yep. For example.

There was something about a gathering at a college, someone played a song, someone else said that maybe it was an iffy song to play, and the person removed it from the rotation. You'd think that would be the end of it, but it was an old song and baby boomers got all upset about it and started yelling about 'overly sensitive millenials' when the situation was more or less done.

Boomers are as entitled to hear their favorite songs as Millennials are. Millennials ought to have shut up and let the olds have their fun.

What was the song? Unless it was five minutes of someone chanting the word nigger then I'm guessing it was probably okay.

The thing is though, it was a college event. There might have been some baby boomers there but it was written up as as casual thing and somehow it caught fire on the internet. It wasn't posted on like the Chicago Tribune.

I don't recall the name unfortunately, but it was by someone who's dead and his estate was one of the baby boomers.

So it was a ratpack tribute event and some snowflakes got upset with a little Frank in their Frank? Jesus.

What was the song?

It was Walk On The Wild Side by Lou Reed. And to be fair, I understand why complaints about the song bothered people (even though some people made the situation out to be more dramatic than it actually was). Yes, the song has some bits that, if it were freshly written today, would be iffy. But Lou Reed fucking championed LGBT rights and LGBT lives at a time when it was really putting yourself out there to do so, and Walk On The Wild Side is very much a loving ode to real, actual LGBT people he knew, and to the LGBT community by proxy. All of which is context that the people criticizing the song were either dismissing, or were ignorant of.

I had a friend like that. Worse, "something" was usually actually a "someone." The friend would put the wildest, most horrible spin on things people said and seemed to willingly miss their points.

I don't know about that phrase specifically, but I do find the people who complain about being involved in drama the most are kind of drama seekers so you can see why they are always involved.

Cry all the anti-SJWs that leap on every and any situation that they can turn into something to be mad about them darn SJWs.

The most obvious one.

In b4 cry moar SJW 'cause only a libcuck SJW would notice painfully obvious hypocrisy omg. I watch both sides with varying degrees of entertainment.

Reminds me of "you can't handle people disagreeing with you" from people who are upset that you didn't immediately change your mind and agree with them.

Or people who go on about how much they hate "drama" when they're the ones always creating it.

I do think there are people who are just generally angry and unhappy in life and they do things like get really mad in traffic or take everything personally. I also think some people feel they will get attention and sympathy if they can claim some kind of grievance.

I find it true. My sister is the kind of person if you don't immediately pick up your phone she calls back 10 more times, leaves voicemails, texts, and then starts calling other people to see if they know why you're not answering.

But she always lets hers go to voicemail so she can call the person back in an hour or so when it's more convenient. Also another relative is perpetually 10-15 minutes late to everything, but if someone makes plans with him and they're late it's horribly rude and awful.

Generally they feel they have excellent reasons for doing what they do, but obviously other people have terrible reasons for it.
