I Am An Object Of Internet Ridicule, Ask Me Anything
Hipster-hate strikes me as just another thinly veiled form of bullying, and it's interesting to see how readily internet nerds - the people who are disproportionately to have been bullied in the past - engage in it.<p>Look! He's different! Let's make assumptions about his motivations and get him!<p>It's also interesting to see how many times Reddit (and other communities) fly into a rage-fest because of lack of context, only to make an about-face when the full picture comes out. It's also interesting how no matter how many times this <i>exact</i> situation happens, there is no stopping the next rage-fest.<p>Above all other things, internet communities is what makes me cynical about humanity.
