I was reading about the WNBA complaining about players encountering sexism and racism on social media, saying that participating in social media is necessary for players. Like are you serious? If you go on a site full of bigots, you're going to find bigotry. Stop using it!
That's a rational statement from the viewpoint of "you exist to make us money by cultivating brand recognition". Objectively, it is in no way necessary to participate in any or all aspects of human society. That it may bring benefits does not make it 'necessary', irregardless of the fact that such participation can also bring harms.
"BuT eVeRyOnE iS oN tWiTtEr"
Yeah, because people like you make it compulsory and other people who won't stop complaining about it refuse to leave. 🤷♂️
How the hell is Twitter related to your ability to sink a 3-pointer?
It's related to their ability to earn a living sinking 3-pointers.
A company I used to work for ran some ads featuring gay couples, and we got a shit load hate mail and messages that we had to respond to "thanking them for their feedback" I was one of the few that said fuck that, I'm not thanking bigotry, they still had us do it for a few weeks before allowing us to ignore them. I just said from the get go, I'm not doing these cases, if you have a problem with that let me know, if you guys want to do them be my guest.
Don't put up with this shit.
