You're making a lot of assumptions, and none of them are true. I have no emotional attachment to fan drawings of cartoons I've never seen, or the shirt Kanye was wearing at a gas station, or what some politician I've never heard of in a country I've never been to said about home mail delivery or something equally trivial. Nor do I ever post on Twitter. I don't even have an account. But my eye twitches whenever "somebody said a thing on Twitter" somehow becomes news, or a trending topic, or a witch-hunt, or a cause, or a boycott.
Twitter is a wasteland of hashtags and horseshit, devoid of anything resembling meaningful human interaction.

- drspacemonkey 10y agoMy dislike of the level of discourse on Twitter has nothing to do with my "emotional attachment to the subject". It's a total shitshow regardless of whether or not I care or even know anything about the subject. That's where your assumptions are wrong.
