Correct. And those people can choose for themselves, just like you and I do. So you can't blame me or some article writer for what other people think. They can think for themselves without you having to hold their hand and shelter them from bad things.
We can agree that the reader is responsible for themselves, what they take in and how they respond to it. But why shouldn't the author also have responsibility? Or any of us for what we share on social media? Everyone has an impact on the world. Shouldn't we aim to minimize these impacts when they're negative?
Because the author was reporting the facts of the case. Regardless of whether or not you think they are important, they are facts. The guys appearance wouldn't be in the news if he hadn't committed a news-worthy crime. So get over it.
People need to toughen up, accept the world, and adapt. I have no desire to hold someone's hand and censor news that you think may offend a few people.
I'm not going to change how I post, what I post, or where I post from.
If you don't like that, please feel free to start your very own community on this instance or any instance, and mod that however you want to. Feel free to block me and/or this community if you are so offended that I post a link to a news article.
And you're totally free to write a strongly-worded letter to the editor of the news org. I'm sure that will really change things. lol
I never argued against the facts being reported. They are indeed important and should be included. What I'm criticizing is the way it's being presented.
I'm not arguing against offending people either. Offend all you want (tbh I've never understood what it even means to be offended, but that's besides the point). What I'm against is manipulating the minds of those you call "sheeps". The ones who don't read past headlines and still form strong opinions from them. Opinions that translate to actions and have negative consequences on other people. Blocking you isn't going to change any of that. Besides, I enjoy the exercise.
Writing to the editors isn't as interesting because i don't have my thoughts fully sorted out on this matter and I wouldn't expect a response, let alone a back and forth. It's discussions like these that help figure out what I really think about it, so I appreciated that you're willing to take the time to talk about it.
Dude, ya gotta just let it go. You're not going to change anyone's mind or anyone's policy. Sorry, man. That's just the way the world is.
But you can be the change you wanna see. You can write the articles. You can start the communities. But most people just won't take this as seriously as you are. And that's ok.
I don't understand what you mean here. I've already said my persuasive piece. If it convinces anyone to change their stance, then great. If not, then so be it. It is what it is. But I don't see any reason to go back and delete it just because I don't think anyone's going to be persuaded. That's extra work for no gains.
Do you not want to make the world a better place though? I'm assuming yes. How would it help to share misleading articles over another containing the exact same information but without being misleading?
The world is a better place. And I don't think the article is misleading. You think that, I don't.
