Re: Hot spicy bad take!

DA

I think you just didn’t state your point very well. No need to blame everyone else for misreading or reading too much into what you’re saying. Especially because you did basically state that “now that there’s a way to do all the things that made malls what they were at home, why bother to go to them”? And then you get snippy when people point out that the social gathering aspect is still reason enough for teens. Which is something you do bring up separately, but only in the framing of 80s mallrats for some reason, even though mall culture was still going strong in the 90s. And only started dying down for indoor galleria type malls in the late 2000s. Which is definitely because of the internet making online shopping a breeze, no question. And now, malls are a shadow of what they used to be, and it’s a sad thing for this almost 40 former mallrat. They’re good hangout places, but that’s not enough for a sustainable revenue on the whole. So I do agree with you in that assessment.

But despite acknowledging that the teen gathering aspect is still a good enough reason for going to malls(even though you get unnecessarily snarky and defensive every time you do), you still keep framing it as “why would anyone want to go to the mall when they can do and get everything the mall offers in a more convenient way?”. Like I said, you’re not stating your point well, or at least not as clearly as you could. So there’s no need to blame everyone else or get persnickety at everyone replying or trying to clarify. Especially because the majority of those people were being perfectly polite, and were completely undeserving of your snide attitude.
