so browsing through facebook i found a pretty hilarious exchange...a friend of mine linked to the video and asked people to watch it. out of NOWHERE this sperg completely unloads on her wall...posting literally 10 uninterrupted responses (most of them lengthy) to her status about how awful the movement was. it was really awkward to read and i was about to post a LMFAO or something but then facebook live updated with a response by her asking "arent you that guy in high school who never said a word to me and just randomly friended me?" and that he needed to see an anger management doctor immediately. he hasnt responded since. it was one of the best ownings ive ever seen on facebook and im proud of her.

I didn't literally just read it. I read a very brief summary by you.
So...
Screenshot or it never happened.

But seriously, there's child soldiers in Africa, sense when?
The Kony movement is stupid. Awareness is good, and I guess it's good that people have decided to pay some attention to it now, but it's nothing that couldn't have been started a while ago.

Then it "never happened" because I can't think of anything more pointless than essentially repeating what I already posted to someone who for some reason needs evidence for facebook statuses

It is something that deserves attention, just the video is misrepresenting of the actual current situation in Uganda.
If you read through the topic various pieces of evidence are posted that support my theory. A lot of "internet people" will deny what I have to say though, for obvious reasons.
Also, so, your theory has to be the only possible reason? Am I reading wrong or is your "theory" that people dislike it simply because they are introverted nerds that dislike anything that becomes popular and distrust everyone?
I'm also guessing you didn't even read anything from that link I posted given the fact you responded 2 minutes after I posted it.
And not that you'll take this into consideration, but response to the Kony 2012 movement by a respected Ugandian journalist: I viewed it this morning and the first 5 minutes told me this was another effort by a good white American guy trying to save my people. In this story Ugandans are just mere watchers as Kony kills our children. In this story not much can an African do. It is the same old sensationalization of African stories and simplification of our problems to tell the western world using even his son that they should save Africa. How? by giving us money.
Its a narrative that many of us of the continent who work in the media always look at in disbelief but such videos are easy to enter the hearts of an ignorant Western audience who do not question the narrative.
The film is void of any means like peace efforts that have gone on and it simplifies the war to Joseph Kony a mad evil man. This war was bigger than Joseph Kony and those who will end it wont be Americans. Its a complex war that requires African governments of Uganda, South Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo and Central African Republic to work together to pacify the region. And when I heard him say that Uganda is in central Africa despite [him] having visited here I almost stopped watching.
All in all its a very imperialistic film trying to touch sentiments of those who can save Africa i.e. Hollywood and the West.
No one is saying raising awareness is bad (those that are are just stupid). The concern is how these good intentions are actually being carried out. Not everyone in the world wants us westerners running in and solving their problems, particularly because we don't actually understand the entire story.
I'm part of a team working to provide clean water for a village in Mali, and the biggest concern we constantly get when talking to people is, "do the people in the village actually want what your planning to implement?"
