Poll of the Day > Here we go with more virtue signaling

(+) Yeah! (+)

Its annoying to see so many public figures post about the event and pretend to care. I see writers for websites and managers of sports teams doing this and its cringey. Nobody actually cares that you claim to be upset and its performative on their part. Shut up and provide us with the content that we follow you for. I look forward to a week or so from now when people are not pretending to care about these events again.

Just because you dont care about kids being murdered doesnt mean other people dont see the issue here.

Of course I do not like when innocent people are killed, as any sane person would feel. Im simply pointing out how over the top public figures get with their performances on social media to appear virtuous when they wont really think much about it after the news cycle is over.

more like king silly!!!

"ugh it's so lame that important people in positions of power are showing a modicum of interest in a subject that should not even be an issue in this day and age instead of finding ways to entertain me"

did i summarize that right?

Youre somewhat correct in the sense that they should only be focusing on entertaining me if I follow them. Their perceived obligation to comment on issues is cringe and largely disingenuous.

methinks the child project too much

"They exist because of me, so they shouldn't be doing anything other than provide me with entertainment. It's ridiculous that they think they are important enough to speak up about significant current events".

did I summarize that "somewhat correctly" too?

If you think saying the sky is blue needs saying, you have ulterior motives

Its been way too long since someone signaled my virtue

You struggle to comprehend the point and also misconstrue what Im saying. The overwhelming majority of people who follow celebrities, game journalists, youtubers, etc. dont care about their outrage over tragedies. They want to consume content that those people are known for. We want the clowns to dance and nothing else.

Pretty sure I said summarized that correctly then. Why does it matter if these people are vocalizing something a lot of people agree with or are angry with if they are still able to produce the content you are fiending for?

Their harping about routine events is taking away from the time that they could be utilizing to produce content that we want. They think that theyre so righteous by saying I support/condemn current thing. Its nauseating to watch them do it.

important people in positions of power a

Those youtubers are very important and powerful.

I swear. All the internet knows how to do is be sparky. Lord forbid a genuine conversation be had.

Didn't mean to include "important". Removing that word doesn't really change the point.
