Yeah it's getting out of hand, including the SJW I consider myself part of. Now there's a pic of a dad showering naked with his sick kid to keep his fever down. People are all, "OMG child abuse!", "OMG porn!", "OMG offensive!", "OMG creepy men!". Because a father is trying to help his sick kid and is doing so naked, because, shower. Now, I don't get why some people even have to share all that super private stuff, but I don't like the outrage and attacks such parents receive as they are usually attacked for what is actually good parenting.
There is so much of it. A father filming his tearful face while ranting about how someone has said something not nice to his son. Outrageous. A waitress photographing a receipt with no tip. Outrageous. A woman being sneered at by a cashier. Outrageous. Some men not wanting to date overweight people. Outrageous. Or a classic: someone seeking to rehome their dog! OH MY GOD that one always "breaks the internet"! Oh, or the guy who parked in a handycapped spot. And turned out to be handycapped. But by that time, the damage was done.
I remember a guy in Israel who took his 2 dogs to the beach. One died on the shore while he was playing in the water with the other. He stopped people from trying to help the dying dog and was promptly photographed and shamed all over Facebook as a dog murderer who "killed" his dog in front of upset children. He even made the actual news.
Turned out the poor man had set a euthanasia appointment for that dog for the next day as she was suffering and not holding on. He had taken his dogs to the beach so she could have one last good day. So while he was in the water with the other one, she died. People brutally tried to violate her into one last breath after another, and violated the man in all kinds of ways, even sent the police on him and called for his murder. Because he let a sick old dog die. That is how he now remembers the last "fun" day with his dog. No apologies of equal magnitude. Ever.
Or that one story of a boy with autism not finding a prom date and hence taking his sister. While I find it petty and stupid to turn him away, the reason is legit - rules were broken. She can't be 27, and she can't come unregistered. But people went mad, made it about the school being mean to a boy with autism. Part of the argument was that his condition makes it hard for him to find a prom date, but you don't need to be autistic for that. His autism had nothing to do with the story. It was dragged into it so the story would have outrage value. So often, the internet takes the story about a person belonging to an underprivileged minority, and turns it into a huge drama of persecution when the matter was so NOT about that. Many stories are, and they run the risk of being discredited by all the fake whining.
Or setting yourself up for outrage. You post a nude to a site like Facebook. You hashtag it with some cause, and BOOM! Its presence on a page is justified even if in violation of the ToS. It gets removed. You take to Diply. You take to BoredPanda. You take to Facebook. Because somehow, removing that picture is sexist, ableist, homophobic etc. Nothing to do with such degrees of nudity, and sometimes even explicit stuff, being forbidden on the site. I don't mind nudity, but the rules are what they are and your violation being penalized isn't outrageous just because you hashtagged it with something of social relevance.
People on the www have become so self-important that they're actually seeking out stuff to upset themselves over, and then compete over who is a better person for being more outraged at a fabricated evil.
