For some reason I am as bothered by the "feel good" posts as the nasty ones. I really can't put my finger on why, but that type of content really just rubs me the wrong way too.
For example, the top post on /r/all right now is:
>TIL that singer Dionne Warwick, upset with misogyny in rap lyrics, once set up a meeting with Snoop Dogg and Suge Knight at her home, where she demanded that they call her a “bitch” to her face. Snoop Dogg later said “I believe we got out-gangstered that day.”

I mean... what? It obviously didn't influence him substantially, as he still used "bitch" in his songs. I just don't get the point of something like this. It doesn't make me feel good, it just makes me confused at why this is a popular post.
