The idea of "Sexism sells" is probably a concise explanation of why the whole modern SJW (for lack of a better term) thing bothers me despite the fact I agree with what they are saying for the most part.
- cocktailpeanuts 9y agoIt's not just about social justice warriors IMO, it happens everywhere you can translate politically correctness into money. I would even go further to say social justice warriors are rather cute because all they have to gain is 15 minutes of fame. What's really dangerous is the mainstream media, because they have a lot to gain from using this theme to bring down entities. A lot of controversy => A lot of page views => A lot of ad revenue. And they are desperate for more ad revenue as content becomes more and more commoditized. There's a serious conflict of interest. While these clueless public bash on other people for being "politically incorrect" after reading these intentionally provocative articles, they don't realize that from media's point of view they're nothing more than vegetable being farmed. This is why I have no sympathy for the dying media companies.
