Don’t be like the #PlaneBae people

Honestly idgaf, i just avoid nonsense like this to begin with. Don’t like people doing this shit? Don’t give them your attention.

Right? We all get the same number of minutes in a day. I can’t afford to be “distressed” by acts of aggression at what looks to me like an every-day noise kind of childishness. Inaction (and ignoring) doesn’t mean a lack of empathy.

Would the “targets” have been better off had someone intervened to stop the “bullies” in real time, in public? (It may be the case, I haven’t watched either one of these videos, but I doubt it’s the case.)

Does my potential response (either direct, or by yelling at clouds) present any possible benefit to any of the involved parties (either in terms of harm prevention, or in terms of character education) or to society in general?

I don’t intend it to come across as critical of the editor/s who posted the article but for me personally I think ignoring is often the most broadly useful response to certain things I see on the internet. Yes I realize I failed at doing that just now. Moving on… la la la
