People kind of suck.
You know how every time you watch TLC it's because there's a Say Yes to the Dress marathon on, and then all of a sudden you realize you're sucked in to an episode of My 600-Pound Life and you can't stand but to watch until the bitter end to see if the 600-pounder will turn his or her life around or just end up getting a firm talking to from Dr. Nowzaradan and fail out of weight loss surgery camp?
Yes, that's normal. That happens to all of us when we watch TLC. Please continue.
Yeah, so that same type of thing just happened to me on the Internet. It was 9:15, and I was just about to go to sleep when I thought, "Let me just check my email to make sure there's nothing important going on."
Suddenly, it was 10:00, and I was three pages deep into a Google Image search. "Kylie Jenner before surgery."
How did we get here? Why? I don't even like the Kardashians. I don't find them remotely interesting. What prompted me to go in search of Kylie's original nose/eyes/chin/whatever she changed?
And then I remembered...
While checking my email, I noticed I was getting email notifications from Facebook, thought, "I should change that," stumbled over to Facebook, got distracted by a photo on my newsfeed that a friend had shared from her Instagram, opened Instagram so I could like the photo on both channels, saw a sponsored post with a girl who looked like Kylie (it wasn't), thought, "Speaking of Kylie, I wonder how motherhood is treating her," searched for her, stumbled upon a beautiful photo of her (among the many) and noticed a rude comment on said photo.
"She used to be so beautiful. She destroyed herself."
She. 1) Why are you commenting rude things on some 20-year-old girl's Instagram photo? 2) Why are you mentioning her in third person? It's her account.
People say it all the time. "That's what she signed up for when she became famous." They say it about all celebrities.
1) There's a Please Bully Me On The Internet sign-up sheet?
2) Yes, famous people are putting themselves out there, and they do realize rudeness comes with the territory, but does that make you any less of an asshole?
People can be so rude and quick to judge, and the Internet has only made it worse. I think it's about time we all just mind our own business and let everyone else be. Woman Who Wrote Mean Comment on Kylie's Instagram Account and Kept Me Up Late, what did you gain from writing something so rude? And did it lead to an Instagram comment battle between you and Kylie's groupies that kept you up late too?
When did people get so mean? I say we all just chill. You do you, I'll do me, Kylie will do Kylie, and the world will move on.
I still never fixed my Facebook notifications, by the way.
