The Missouri thing is an interesting event in that the protesters involved wanted no part of the media giving the situation any coverage whatsoever.

For some reason the media is absolutely 100% terrified of these people and are wasting no time in praising all parties involved at every possible avenue.

It's been constant 24-hour coverage on ESPN and a ton of national media all day today. So stunning and brave.

This is reality. They own the media, and by extension, they can own you, considering they can get just about anything they want passed given enough time and animosity.

Her research interests center on popular culture texts and audiences, particularly texts and audiences disdained in mainstream culture. Her work in this area is guided by audience studies, theories of gender and sexuality, and media literacy. Current research projects involve 50 Shades of Grey readers, the impact of social media in fans’ relationship with Lady Gaga, masculinity and male fans, messages about class and food in reality television programming, and messages about work in children's television programs.

So she's literally professor Tumblr without bullying artists into attempting suicide.

Speaking of which: Steven Universe fans bullied a fan artist into attempting suicide. http://theodysseyonline.com/monmouth...rse-fan/204442

I'm kind of torn on this, on one hand this image springs to mind whenever I hear about cyberbullying:



And then again there's people who are more sensitive to this stuff and tumblr in particular is fucking insane and desperate to ruin the lives of those who cross it.

Christians are offended that Starbucks changed their cups to red for the holidays. But they're not offended because they changed their cups to red for the holidays, they're offended that because they changed their cups to red they're "taking Christ and Christmas off their cups". The starbucks logo is green, the cup is red...red and green is synonymous with Christmas, yet the cup isnt Christmas-y enough.

For fuck sakes

It's not christfag enough without the merry christmas on the cup!

Some christians on the bookface shared the video of patient zero(ish) in this particular disasterpiece. He was all smug that he told the barista his name is Merry Christmas so he could trick them into celebrating christ appropriately. He even flashes his pistol cause I dunno.. guns and bible.

Everything to do with this is both sad and annoying. People are digging their hardest to find something to be indignant about.

Everyone is getting trolled by some douche on the Internet.

Poe's law, etc

The amount of bible belters who latched onto it seriously is alarming; I concede I know too many Kansans.

Ah yes

[archibaldcrane]

[NynJa]

Well you just said that this whole christmas thing is someone trolling...is everyone who gets "offended" on social media just a troll?

I would have spelled the name wrong on purpose.

This is why I couldn't work at Starbucks, I would spell everyone's name wrong on purpose.

I'm surprised Target is telling them to stuff it. Usually they bend to this kind of stuff pretty easily.
