Now playing:
The xx - StarsSomething's been bothering me. Well, not bothering per se, but more of...caught my overly-attentive eye?
Has anyone noticed the Brobdingnagian [awesome word, I must add] sum of gloomy, slightly-sexist-bordering-on-feminist Facebook and [very, very few] Twitter updates lately? Maybe I've been living too long under the gargantuan rock that is timeline-less Twitter apps on Android but really, what is with all these updates? It's possible that I'll make into someone's shitlist if I list them out individually but you catch my drift, right?
You know, lah. The ones that are
"Boys are insensitive and they suck and the should godaiinafire but girls are awesome and fragile and soft-hearted and totally incapable of faking" types. Social networks have been swamped with them at a terrifying level.
I'm going to refer to them as Junkies in this post from this point forward.No, really.Really??
Gender equality just got poked....by The Dagger [Glee references ftw!] I can't think of any important person who played a pivotal role in gender equality, I'm
that uninformed, you see. But whoever they are, they're rolling in their graves, scratching their caskets for a way out to come look for Junkies and claw their eyeballs out..
I'm not going to sugarcoat it and say that dudes aren't capable of being absolutely moronic in their actions, but to say that ONLY a girl is fragile and soft-hearted as how stupid and idiotic ONLY a boy can be has the same douchebaggery level as :
Did I paraphrase correctly? Coherent sentence construction has proven to be my Achilles' heel :\
I can't...I just can't wrap my head around this..
.thing. This weird, WTF-inducing phenomena, for the lack of a better word.. Is there a secret, conspiratorial society hellbent on baiting the male population lurking around social media? I have 2 questions if they actually do exist.
One. What the burning hell are you doing? I'll hazard a guess and say that they're headed by a 14 year hormonal teenager who just got fucked over by her 21 year old ex-boyf who is you know..
.a scary biker dude.Two.
Why am I so bloody uninformed about things nowadays?! :(
But then again...
Luckily, when I was thinking of a dramatic,
"QED, bitch"-way of ending this post just now, I remembered that..
.it's just a phase. If there's one thing I've observed from social networking, it's that every month, there's a trend where a majority of things, be it profiles pictures, notes or status updates seem to be centered around, and once that monthly 'trend' expires, on comes a new one. I'm not gonna hyperbolise it by saying everyone does it because well, this post wouldn't exist if I did, really.
or because I love commenting and mocking anything like this yes I'm mean.If I may recall, there was this period where a majority of people were
putting up pictures of themselves when they were kids. Before or after that came the influx of
questionnaire tags. There was also the
"I like it on the..." thing for breast cancer awareness which I still don't get. The weird,
"clan names" thing followed. The
"Write your name in Hangul" thing which made me laugh. In March, there was the
"Gym-freaks Monthly" thing going on. On came the
"Inbox me a number and I'll tell you when we first met, what I like about you, how big was the Krispy Kreme jelly-filled donut that I threw at your face" status thing that's STILL around. By that logic, it'll only be fair to say that this month's trend is
"Boys suck and girls rule." Sigh.
This is only makes me a bit excited for June's trend, of freaking course. Will the
not-at-all ridiculous "Post the colour of your bra to help breast cancer awareness" be making a comeback? Experts say June just might the month for
"I HAVE A DSLR THAT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO HANDLE but I'm still gonna take pictures anyway, GUYS!!" to return. Or will the old trends take a backseat for a new up-and-coming
"Deadly medical illnesses I wish I had" to encroach upon us mortal beings?
Only time will tell, really.
If, and this is a big, big possibility that's still possible given the naivete and Facebook Sheep-iness of people that my
"Deadly medical illnesses I wish I had" does trend, I'd be so damned amused, man.
