good thing twitter's gonna die soon
Yeah, no. If it didn't die until now, it won't die now. Really, any super avid social media user is really, really shitty. From Twitter to 4chan.
it's never particularly useful to generalize a website by a singular average impression of its more exonymously-represented users, but it's not like i don't agree that at least a hell of a lot of these sites are complicated by the most-represented and most-discussed populations/demographics
i think there's actually an interesting argument for suggesting that there is in fact a fair lot of ideological diversity. people that associate and identify with the colloquially-termed "lgbtq+ community" are likely not doing so because it's some singular cohesive group, so much as someone might consider themselves represented in their personal concept of what "the lgbtq+ community" signifies and represents to each individual person
so referring to other videos and hypothesizing as to whether they're fully representative of... really anything at all, is probably imprecise, although it makes sense that it's sensationalized enough for spectators to point to and question various supposed contradictions as though everyone had collectively agreed on what beliefs were somehow necessarily implied. though people certainly do like to try and identify how to draw these lines, so that'd be understandable
I'm honestly not sure what you're talking about. I was just saying that individuals who use social media a lot likely behave more aggressively, thus making them quite toxic individuals. I noticed this in my own behavior. Of course, it depends on a lot of factors, but in general, it is quite well known by now that social media in general is pretty harmful to you if you aren't mentally sound.
the "i was just saying [...]" didn't seem particularly apparent, partly due to what i saw as a lack of specifiers, but
i did re-read, and i think i see where my confusion came from, maybe? i might be able to distinguish where some things were or weren't ambiguous, idk if this post will do that exactly, but just to point somewhere:
specifically, i'd gathered my impression of how "it's not particularly useful to generalize" + "spectators tend to look toward sensationalized examples of supposed contradictions in some group of people" from how it first started with twitter users, but what i neglected was the likelihood it was just out of referential convenience, because going on with "[specific demographics i personally observe with my specific perspective in these specific communities who perform these specific behaviors]" is very easily made out to just be "twitter users" when you want to get something across with people who don't feel like they need all that to understand what you mean. idk, it's unfortunate when things are vague enough to be able to be read into when it could be "not that deep", and i'm always prone to reading depth into something from my own projected concept of what people might see, and i'll miss the point entirely
either way, what you're clarifying with
now, at face-value, i agree and observe the same thing. within these sites are several kinds of environments that cultivate toxicity and don't particularly lend any room for patience when, as one of my observations, a lot of the time people fixate on defending something or attacking something
edit: that being said, my focus on the "sensationalization" section of my comment had been more specifically about my curiosity for what perspective you might've had in order to have brought in a video from shoeonhead (despite my ignorance of not fully understanding the underlying substance enough to quell my suspicion/wariness), specifically because of thumbnails like these and titles like these which have a fairly plausibly-interpretable "sensationalism" to them. they frame the discussion kind of grossly, so it can make a person immediately put up their guard due to many videos/commentaries using very similar visual/textual rhetoric and then turning out to just be bad-faith mockery or willfully obtuse, or otherwise something performative about "understanding [a strange/opposing] side" or presenting the impression that "that side" is understood and accurately summarized by the commentator
