I’ve posted quite a bit on here since I created my account, posts I consider non-controversial, since I’m not interested in arguing or getting into heated topics like politics. Even so, I still get the occasional snarky comment. Out of curiosity, I sometimes check the person’s post history when I see something like that, and without fail, their profile is full of snarky, negative, or hateful posts overall. It always makes me wonder: do people like this genuinely get enjoyment from surrounding themselves with negativity? What’s the thought process behind it?
For me (and I know it’s a losing battle) I like to remind people that being stupid is a negative trait. Even if it’s one voice among thousands, I feel that people deserve to know that when they make a statement that passes from their fingers to the keyboard, without ever stopping at the brain, that they should expect someone to call them out on it.
I would never be hateful toward someone for their appearance, or a disability, or their race, or sexuality/gender. But for people that choose to live in ignorance and spout the most idiotic things imaginable; yea, I’m gonna point how fucking stupid they are, and I’m not going to be nice about it.
