People use the internet as an outlet for all the conflicting opinions they hold. They pick the ones that seem more acceptable for a social situation in public, or simply live out perfectly some stereotype they consider offensive. Then, they go online and flame people who have noticed a certain characteristic of a group of people, making them feel superior to other people. The internet gave us the feeling of anonymity, enabling the masses to suffer from a god-complex. Those who consider themselves in an elevated position of intellectuality will then move on to thinking they have an elevated morality.
A censor is a man who knows more than he thinks you ought to. - Granville Hicks
The above image sparked an example of the conflict I was talking about. It's a threadless.com shirt design loaded with stereotypes that have been associated with the two sexes.
"why is the male stereotype a soilder huh? what are they saying, woman arent fit to serve in the military? shame on you threadless. shame on you for printing such an obviously sexist and politically offensive shirt "
This where I stop blogging in equal distaste and disenterest in my topic and point out obliquely that no one really enjoys children of bodom.
No one.
