The internet is the worst / stupid people speak the loudest

goddamn

the amount of negativity and ignorance in the comments sections of articles continue to anger me
i mean it shouldnt be unexpected and it should be easy to ignore,but man.

is this why not everyone gets a voice because the public is stupid
ok
they're not stupid
just the stupid ones talk so much
and so loud
and we listen to them
and we respond to them
those are some badly allocated fucks that we give out

so, lots of time on reddit, you'll get those times where someone's like
'oh my bad i see why that's problematic now, sorry for my ignorance, thanks guys'

but most of the time, people say stuff and don't want to change their mind
they just want to hear their own thoughts
and nothing you say or do, with whatever intention
will change that

i googled 'asian with cornrows cultural appropriation'
im seriously considering getting some braids but need to figure out if its ok
idk maybe i'll find people of african descent on the internet and ask them directly what they think

there was very little info about asians and african hairstyles and whether that's inappropriate (there was like one article about kpop which was legit and the artists werent just wearing the hair, they were acting 'thuggish' and flat out using a culture as a costume). But obvi there was a lot about white people using these styles

and the sheer ignorance. omg.
white people trying to call out black people who dye their hair blond
like its the same thing
omg
i mean
wow

anyway. there was so much stupid and long back and forth comments of people trying to educate each other. I don't know why i read the damn comments, like people are so ignorant
its always ok to have an unpopular opinion but its not ok to have an irresponsible perspective.

it was actually pretty gross like one of the stupid jenners had cornrows, and thats cool man, i can dig that
but then they were like 'edgy' 'urban' 'new' 'next level'
liek people have been rockin that in BC times. i just think thats really bad, like saying its a new style, like it disregards the history and shit.

anyway. rant again.
i really want braids.
is it ok
i dont know.

that tl;dr was perfect haha. Just do it, people come back from cruise ships and have them. Ask Shez what she thinks, but ofcourse being her she'll be 100% supportive. I think it'll suit ya
