Also, I'm really tired of the mindset some people have where they see a handful of people talk about A Thing in the same way on social media and then just... proceeds to believe that and talk about it like it's true... without doing any research on their part to better understand wtf is going on.
I say that because I'm dealing with a coworker talking about a game that came out that A) he didn't play, B) has no intention of playing, and C) got his "facts" from some people on Twitter who are screaming on certain tags and therefore is parroting what those people said without coming to any conclusion of his own. Granted, that's different from Actually Shitty Things People Do, but the social media hivemind needs to die in a fire.
Also, I love how our recent conversations seem to keep circling back to "what the hell is up with people not doing their own research?"
