I'm calling Foul!
14 years ago
Ok so what is this new "style" of journaling/blogging/tweeting/ WHATEVER... that includes being able to tell people if your opinion bothers them then they can fuck off and "stop being butt hurt".
Example: I have something to say. My opinion on this matter is MY opinion. Feel free to comment and support me, but if your opinion is different, then you should stop being a bitch and/or too sensitive and/or butt hurt and/or a big stupid doody head.
Here's the flaw in your logic: You are voicing **YOUR** butt hurt out there for the world to see are you not? Isn't that the point of it? You want to vent and rant in a public manner so that many people will know exactly how you feel about "XYZ". So why can't people respond to you? Are you scared that someone may have a valid argument to your point of view and it will make you rethink your views? Are you afraid that people will let you know how much your words hurt them or upset them? I'm calling foul. If you have something judgmental, hyper critical, or just plain ugly, to say then you should be a big enough person to accept the consequences of your words.
The way I see it, how the world works is that YOU have YOUR opinion and YOU are more than welcome to share that opinion on whatever electronic-instant-millions-can-see-it forum that YOU choose. The people who YOU shared this opinion with may or MAY NOT agree with it. That's life, that's how it works. You saying "so grow up and go away if you don't like it" before you unload unkindness on people or art or groups or music or ANYTHING is really just you wanting to be as ugly as you feel like without having to worry about reprisal. Reminds me of the bully on the playground that punches you to the ground then screams "TAG! NO TAG BACKS" then walks away laughing.
Now this little rant is just that. I haven't been called out or picked on. I just noticed that while going through my day, many people are doing this more and more often. Here, on facebook, in emails, tweets, etc... Yeah. It's annoying.
I feel it bears mentioning that this isn't the same as people posting art and telling you to click somewhere else if you don't like it. I actually agree with that. It is an artistic work and you can choose not to look at it. However, when you post HEY LOOK AT MY BLOG/JOURNAL/FACEBOOK BECAUSE I WANNA TELL YOU SOMETHING ABOUT HOW I THINK YOU ARE WRONG AND YOU AREN'T ALLOWED TO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT CAUSE THAT'S JUST BEING IMMATURE...... Makes No Sense To Me.
Ok, that is all for now.

I think my issue is for people who are saying mean things though. They make a blanket statement like "I have brown shoes and I think that everyone who wears them is ugly and they have no taste. I'm not saying this to be mean or anything, just my opinion so don't post here being all butt hurt." I don't see why they should get a free pass to call out all brown shoe wearers and get away with it.
Thanks for commenting!!!!
