I love these posts. Yes everyone on the internet has a short, pithy take. Yes it looks cool to have no empathy.

Obviously everyone has their reasons, but why are we shocked that someone somewhere said something online that seems heartless or at odds with our version of the world?

And then when everyone explains that the event has a stereotype and there is a reason for that stereotype, and OP explains that, well, plenty of nice people participate in that activity, why would strangers on the internet shit on the nice ones too? And it’s like, yeah, this is what the internet does. Things get 2-dimensional.
