What the fuck is UP with the absolutely horrible way humans behave when they are cloaked in anonymity?
I keep reading the fucking comments. I tell myself after reading an article on the internet to NOT read the fucking comments. But I then I do. It’s like I want to be fucking pissed off.
I am amazed by the cruelty of some of these people. Not to mention their PROFOUND lack of creativity. I remember for a while that it seemed to be trendy among the trolls to comment ‘you sound fat’. It’s obnoxious and not clever. After the first 10,000 people say it, the phrase becomes boring.
What I’m seeing now in comments? She isn’t even pretty/thin/young enough to get raped.
This sickens me. So the opposite of that would be a woman is pretty or thin or young enough to have the gift of rape bestowed upon them? Fuck you. Fuck your horse.
Do these people have mothers? Sisters? Daughters? I hate to generalize and say that the people making these vile comments are men, but I think they’re mostly men. When these men look in the mirror are they super fit and pretty like an underwear model? Ruggedly handsome like the men in the old cigarette ads? Or are they pasty faced, sad little goofs who could stand to run around the block a time or two?
Even if they can say they have 2.8% body fat and have the face of an angel does that make it okay to be cruel? Fucking hell, to me, it’s even WORSE for the beautiful to be cruel. Fine, it’s NOT worse, but shame on you. You already have what society deems to be most  important, a perfect body and a perfect face..why can’t that be enough for you? Are you monsters?
And why do we say fuck you and the horse you rode in on? What does the horse have to do with anything?
They are fucking cowards. Perhaps not ALL of them, but I would be willing to bet that the majority of them are pussies who would NEVER say the shit they say in comments if they weren’t anonymous.
If you attack people in comments then you need to take a hard look at your life. You’re broken. People who treat others with compassion are better than you. Maybe you already know that, though..maybe that’s why you lash out.
If you’re a KID and your pulling this shit? Get off your fucking computer and go ride a bike or something.
Why do you have to be mean to the horse? I really don’t think the horse deserves this…
OMG..you’re right..I’m really sorry about the horse.
I totally agree with you! No matter what you read online there is always a bunch of asshole comments to piss us off….aways
It’s a reminder to me that I’m not the hard ass that I think I am. Some of these comments take my breath away and leave me shaking. I don’t get it.
There are a lot of sick, broken people out there. Bad side to the internet is that it gives them a public place to spew their vile filth.
Randy and I were just discussing this. I love that I have all the information I need at my fingertips. It’s so much better this way..but that whole, bad with the good thing kind of applies, doesn’t it?
and that’s the worst part of the internet; it gives the sickos a venue to spew their shit. People who talk like that are bullies; and there are laws against bullying here in Canada with some pretty tough penalties if convicted.
There are just so many of them. That’s what really troubles me, is the sheer volume of it all.
To extend your thoughts here on horses: I find horse racing to be a really good analogy when it comes to reading online. I focus on the finish line and ignore all surrounding noise. I make sure to put my “comments blinders” on before I start running, because even a glimpse of that territory will spook me.
Hahaha…that is awesome. And yes, it’s really best to keep the blinders on. It does me no good to read the comments. Unless they’re on my blog..then I love them. I’ve been really lucky though, between this one and my other blog I’ve never had a mean spirited comment. Not even one.
To be fair, the reason I sound fat is because I am fat…hopefully the p90x works. If anyone reads this and sees the screen name, then thinks “hiding behind a silly name are we?” I’m using the Twitter handle most likely to be recognized by my rageful buddy.
I’m sure it will work fine. And fuck anyone who says anything about weight, anyway!
Does this font make me look fat?
Hahah…no gorgeous..it looks just right. 🙂
“you SOUND fat.” ?????????????????????????
i have seen ( and had) nasty comments but that one is SO bad, so meaningless, so “more ignorant than the classic sophomore,” that i can almost laugh at it.
It would be such a perfect question in a logic class, really think about it?
“List and discuss the ways that this is illogical , a poor argument, and general nonsense based on this year’s class in Philosophy: Rhetoric and Logic, abuse in common speech patterns.
1) something was written, but it “sounds” like a description of a person, as oppossed to “it READS like” a description of a person
2) ad hominem attack
3) it implies that body shape or weight is a meaningful issue in this topic
4) may be being used to distract from the subject; definitely off topic
wish i could remember that class better, because i SWEAR, there must be more than 10 types of anti-logic/propaganda in those few words.
interesting. And you’re right..those comments need to just be laughed off and dismissed.
I miss bike riding.
Me too, it’s been a long while
