This Monarch guy is clearly toxic though. AND he's wrong, but he's so convinced that he's right that he's all "Do your research next time before talking." even though he's contradicting <i>himself</i>.<br />Ludwig Von Koopahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07286894104423855927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803482805925136251.post-1107899349383856622019-04-18T13:02:56.838-04:002019-04-18T13:02:56.838-04:00Speaking for myself, the difference may come from ...Speaking for myself, the difference may come from two things.<br />1. I'm a content creator, as opposed to just a consumer. Creators open themselves to all kinds of negativity on social media. (Of course, you all know the content I create is the stuff on this website.) Katie Bouman would also qualify as a creator, making that black hole picture.<br />2. I read the comments on my stuff and other people's stuff. While KoopaTV.org generally has a sweet comments section as shown in the monthly newsletters, most comments sections are a bit more toxic, especially on social media. Just look at any comment section in @realDonaldTrump's tweets.<br />(I guess my feeds being partly politically-oriented influences a lot of negativity, but gaming stuff and people's personal lives tend to have drama.)Ludwig Von Koopahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07286894104423855927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803482805925136251.post-75617879653251181722019-04-18T10:18:36.395-04:002019-04-18T10:18:36.395-04:00You know, my social media experience seems to have...You know, my social media experience seems to have been WILDLY different from both of yours. To the point where I only have a vague idea where the whole "cesspool of negativity" thing comes from. I mean, sure I've had times where I need to take a break from my Facebook feed for a few days, but otherwise I definitely derive enjoyment out of both Facebook AND Twitter. (In the case of Twitter it helps that I mainly follow content creators who alert their Twitter followers when they've created content.) Really, it's all about the company you keep--you stay the HELL away from setting your posts to Public in Facebook, and steer clear of friending or following people you can already tell you wouldn't be friends with if you had met them irl.Lheticus Viderehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18252286308352529321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803482805925136251.post-25907736381319899212019-04-17T12:58:43.426-04:002019-04-17T12:58:43.426-04:00I wish Katie had Lash's hair and sense of styl...I wish Katie had Lash's hair and sense of style... :o<br /><br />My understanding is that she worked on a <i>team</i> for that black hole photo, so her getting "all the credit" for the purpose of promoting a women-in-STEM message is considered bad in the eyes of the (male) bullies, because it diminishes the role of her male teammates and they're trying to represent the situation as something that it's... not.<br /><br />Don't think that is a valid reason for bullying her. You'd think the whole team agreed beforehand for that message. Like, they coordinated the women-in-STEM angle.<br /><br /><br />I wonder how many meme-ful E3s and Nintendo Directs will pass until Nintendo fans no longer pay attention to Reggie. It's not like he'll be legally able to divulge secret information.Ludwig Von Koopahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07286894104423855927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803482805925136251.post-81497683417721696982019-04-17T10:15:23.197-04:002019-04-17T10:15:23.197-04:00Social Media really does suck and is a cesspool of...Social Media really does suck and is a cesspool of negativity. The real life Lash, Katie Bouman, who helped make an algorithm to take a picture of her faction's emblem, the Black Hole, was bullied off social media because of the bias against women and science and people making conspiracy theories that she leeched off a man's work and got all the credit to promote that women are good at STEM when secretly they are not. Katie and Lash are probably are even the same person because Lash's Japanese name is キャット which transliterates to Cat and because it is a name and does not have to be the word for Felis catus and people can make alternate spellings to names and can be "Kat" which resembles "Katie."<br /><br />I think Reggie will keep making Mother 3 jokes.ShinyGirafarighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01785034081374840420noreply@blogger.com
