Every time I see someone bitching about cultural appropriation, it's always making a mountain out of a molehill It's not just that the issue itself is overblown; it's the reaction that gets overblown. How to pen an article on someone saying something "controversial" 1. Find a statement by a celebrity or person of note that ostensibly and theoretically could offend a person somewhere in the world 2. Scroll through twitter/youtube/various social media to find the 3 or 4 idiots who were just bored enough to be offended by it and make a comment they don't even really care about themselves 3. Screenshot those comments. Title article something like "Celebrity in hot water as twitter users flock to social media in outrage" 4. Create a dramatic narrative suggesting the celebrity is no stranger to controversy and suggest some context to the remark that is probably totally irrelevant, e.g. "Celebrity has had a string of drug offenses the past 5 years" 5. Assign those twitter users a particular identity, e.g. "animal rights activists", "feminists", etc. Implicitly suggest this is the shared opinion of everyone Ta da, instant social media outrage editorial. --- CE's Resident Scotsman. http://i.imgur.com/ILz2ZbV.jpg ...
