>We are a burger company. We literally make money from the slaughter of animals. They found this offensive, yet we profit off slaughtering living creatures.
Bit of an unexpected take but I admire businesses that just say 'yeah I don't really care' when the internet gets offended.

>>32099 I'd go even further, nobody is quite sure how many twitter accounts are fake but the site itself seems to shut down millions whenever the heat rises on them. This combined with that fact that we've seen numbers like 10% of users producing 80% of the tweets and it becomes a dreary picture of how much focus twitter storms gets in the public discourse (i.e. lazy journalism).
The latter isn't really too distinct from the typical situation within any democratic debate but I think we can all recognise that internet people are not normal. We're weird quasi-humans more similar to hobgoblins where humanity would collapse if everyone was like us.

This combined with that fact that we've seen numbers in the US of 10% of users producing 80% of the tweets and it becomes a very dreary picture in how much influence twitter storms have on the public discourse (i.e. lazy journalism).
The latter isn't really too distinct from the typical situation within any democratic debate with extremists but I think we can all recognise that internet people are not normal. We're weird quasi-humans more similar to hobgoblins where humanity would collapse if everyone was like us. Not least as we're unable to communicate properly without a delete function.
