Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Awhile back people were passing around the fake Romney quote about how he thought tampons should be banned. It was from a satirical news website that clearly stated it was a satirical news website, but so many people were so up in arms and full of rage over it. It would have been hilarious if it wasn't so sad. Especially since there's plenty of legitimate crap to criticize Romney for without ranting about crap that's made up.

I've seen a lot of that. It's the whole SJW culture on tumblr looking desperately for stuff to get angry about. The latest is that dumb birthday card that's nearly 15 years old but is still getting comments like "THIS IS WHY STILL WE NEED FEMINISM!!!"

There was actually a really interesting post about that from the woman who posted the original picture, where she discussed the misinformation that some of the media outlets & the Internet were passing around about it. But yeah, I'm of the opinion that there needs to be a Snopes for Tumblr, although part of me doubts that a lot of people would use it, since they can't even be bothered to google shit before reblogging.

The Internet makes us stupid

or maybe we were always stupid

but I think the Internet exacerbates it

We were always stupid.

It's not that the internet exacerbates it; it's that the internet makes it more visible.

i'm familiar with the thesis but i kind of suspect that it's not true or to be more precise i think that the precise ways in which we're stupid now are a development of the internet, not that we're more stupid, but that there's a distinctly modern stupidity which has set in and which the internet is part and parcel of, that our stupidity is different in kind from the stupidity that used to exist

the internet makes it easier for stupid people to talk to each other and combine their stupid powers

That reminds me of the Bill Nye quote from some Onion-like site that everyone under the age of about 25 reblogged. It had over 2 million notes the last time I saw it and people flipped their shit any time someone told them it wasn't real even though the picture linked to the satire website that had a big banner on it saying that it was a satire site.

even though the picture linked to the satire website that had a big banner on it saying that it was a satire site.

ngl, I love it when hordes of people miss the blatantly obvious (and on tumblr, it happens all the time.) I'm really tempted to blog some clearly satirical stuff with relevant source links, caption it 'IMPORTANT: SIGNAL BOOST PLEASE', and watch how many Not Getting It notes it gets.
