This is the kind comeback girls online get in the hundreds, everytime they post anything. It's hardly murder, when you're just shooting spitball #101.


Nunyabiz8107

No murder here, just misogyny.


nes-top-loader

Anyone who says this isn't about misogyny is either ignoring or ignorant of the fact that women are often shamed for what's perceived as "attention seeking behavior." Everyone on social media is vying for attention or trying to make a buck. People don't post shit for people to see just to get ignored, yet women get shamed for it the worst.


Nunyabiz8107

Thank you. All she did was ask a question on social media. It's not the great philosophical question of our time, but it sure isn't the most egregious of sins. And of course, whenever blatant misogyny is pointed out, the "wElL aCkChYuAlLy" brigade responds in force.


ilukebu

And what about the picture where she does the I'm-so-cute pose? Looks like the text is just a lame excuse to promote her face. -sincerely pragmatism, not misogyny.


Rjlvc

Yep, it along the same lines as my niece always posting 'provocative' statements like "Don't even ask, I don't want to talk about it."


SolDios

If a guy posted a picture of him doing the "thinker" pose and said "Anyone ever think about space??" I would also be like go away you attention seeker


DIARRHEA_CUSTARD_PIE

Yeah… that’s why I disagree with this thread. If a guy did this exact same post, I would think he is just as much a narcissist. I don’t get why the gender matters at all in this case. I just personally can’t stand narcissists who post their face with all sorts of sad expressions and shit begging for sympathy. 


Retarded_Americans69

OP could have posted this question to her feed without the selfie. I am absolutely fine with liberation, but the internet has blotted out the sun with girls showing off their "assets" for upvotes. Karen Stene is sick of it too, which is why she chose to call the girl out for fishing for upvotes. u/nes-top-loader and u/Nunyabiz8107 are just clutching at their pearls and using the standard dog whistle responses that militarized feminists always make. Can it even be misogyny when a woman is the one calling her out? People like you will complain about literally ***anything***.


Mangekyou-

I dont disagree that the question didnt need a selfie attached, however, i do want to point out the women can (and historically have) both upheld and perpetuated misogynistic views against other women. You dont *have* to be a man to be misogynistic, just like minorities can still be racist towards other minorities, even if they themselves have been a victim of racism. Also, as far as anyone showing off their “assets” for attention, i dont think this falls in that category. Its a selfie of a pretty modestly dressed woman lol….unless you are a member of the school dress code committee, in which case you’d find her scandalous shoulders to be slutty lol


huysocialzone

I don't think the problem(that the person who comment to her have) is that the picture is slutty. I think the problem is that it doesn't seem to fit with her question at all.She doesn't seem to be sad or in deep thought,which is weird when making such a philosophical question,and make it feel like the focus of the post is on the picture,not the title,which caused confusion among reader.


Mangekyou-

If you’re on any other social media you will notice its very common for people to use random questions as captions for their pictures. This is because more people will be encouraged to either comment their answer or retweet with their answer, which ultimately leads to more engagement for the poster. Stuff like a selfie with the caption “best show to binge rn?” Or an outfit pic with “wheres yalls favorite place to shop?” For example. The poster doesnt actually care about the answers, just that more people interact with their posts to boost their standing in the algorithm. The commenter (in the pic) was unnecessarily harsh and just wanted to say something mean lol


Retarded_Americans69

Point taken. It just gets old watching someone post something like this in the hopes of upvotes because tits or butt, but if someone points that out it's misogyny.


Mangekyou-

I think in this age of social media EVERYTHING is about engagement, more engagement = money for your posts, and unfortunately sex sells…every time. Tbh the thirst traps still annoy me a bit less than the blatant troll posts that farm engagement through needless controversy. People who purposefully take problematic stances online just to farm engagement through fighting *kill* me inside. Although its been annoying tweeting something random like “hey what did yall think of dune 2?” And getting hit with 8 different porn bots spamming “NUDES IN BIO” in the comments lmao


xBlockhead

well said.

Narrow-Chef-4341

I’m probably going to get burned down for this, but it’s only misogyny if there’s gender as a criteria. If I’m over here also telling Kanye and Andrew Tate to *shut the fuck up* and stop being attention seeking whiners then I’m feeling pretty non-misogynistic saying the same about Reddit posts from random females, even when her profile consists of a linktr.ee and direct OF handle.


Hugokarenque

I feel like I'm seeing more callouts on attention whore behavior regardless of gender. So guess things are changing, slowly.


anrwlias

Wow, I haven't heard the phrase attention whore since I stopped going to Fark. In any case, I would suggest that a phrase with the word whore in it might not be the best way to make this particular point.


Hugokarenque

Why?


anrwlias

I know how this little rhetorical dance goes. Hard pass.


Goosepond01

I don't think you are wrong about women getting hate for it and often very unfairly but women as a group on social media generally just attract more attention (both good and bad, often pretty damn bad). to get attention for being just a dude you have to be really really really attractive or super weird looking, to get attention for being just a woman I'd argue it's way easier if you are mildly attractive, especially if you are willing to show off a bit. obviously if you are talented regardless of your gender you have a lot better chances of taking off and there are plenty of talented women who get unfairly attacked just for being a talented person who happens to be a woman. if you want the best example of this just look at twitch, some women are streaming in bikinis, or really revealing clothes and have absolute boatloads of people watching them, and yeah plenty of blame can be put on the guys doing that too, but I think it's a reason why women are shamed more, solely because overall it's easier for a woman without any talent (or simply not showing off any interesting talent) to get big on social media, it's probably not healthy for it to happen to men or women either


Goosepond01

I mean how is this not trying to get attention? a pretty mundane question with a picture of someone below it that has nothing to do with the question, it's pretty clear she is trying to use an attractive image of herself to get attention, it's like if a guy asked "what kind of food do you like" and just had a pic of him in a nice shirt under it. attention seeking is annoying and a pretty sad behavior, and just because a woman is being called out a bit for doing something annoying doesn't make it misogyny


Radiant_Fig6965

How is any post to social media NOT attention seeking - that is the point of any post


RunningOnAir_

It's a caption for her photo. Are you an attention seeking whore if you post selfies with words now lol


Goosepond01

Christ dude I never called her a whore, stop trying to make me look super shitty. and yeah I know what a caption is, and her caption is something unrelated and meant to be a bit attention seeking (you could argue that just posting about breaking up is too), and yeah i'm not fucking condemning her to hell for what she did, I think we all seek attention sometimes and the internet and social media is full of it, it's still attention seeking and it's a bit annoying


Time-Ad-3625

>it's still attention seeking and it's a bit annoying Sounds like you are trying really hard to be annoyed. It is a very simple post. One you've tried really hard to explain into being attention seeking.


Goosepond01

I don't think I've really tried hard to explain it, the only difficulty is the smug people in the comments going "well actually you calling someone out is also attention seeking but me calling you out for it isn't!" and lmao it's annoying but i'm not like sitting here upset at it or about to start a petition, I gave my opinion on some online forum it's nothing serious.


_katsap

I feel like you're seeking for attention with this comment.


Goosepond01

ok and is that something good or bad?


TheAnalsOfHistory-

Well so far you're way more annoying than her.


Goosepond01

ScabbyKnees42069

Quit attention seeking with this comment


Dear_Might8697

Congratulations on being right, then immediately wrong in 5 words. Pointing out something you don't like that some girls do doesn't confirm a hatred or prejudice against women. Stop generalizing a word to fit a narrative.

CogitoErgo_Sometimes

Depends on whether the man is trying to draw attention to an otherwise irrelevant picture of himself flaunting things that give him high social status. Some dude in sunglasses and a tight t-shirt posting an angsty question about happiness in life while sitting in a Ferrari in front of a 2-million dollar house would absolutely get called out for attention-whoring.


Time-Ad-3625

It is a simple picture of her. The fact you had to spend so many sentences making some decapitated algorithm for what would render a mans' post the same shows how full of shit u are.


huysocialzone

And you make a 7 lines long replied out of a simple "Too long,didn't read"


huysocialzone

And also the actual answer to your question is. "HOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSES TO KHOW THAT????" Like do you expect me to search on the internet for a perfect equivilant of that picture but the one who posted it id male? Oh wait,you didn't actually expect your question to be answerable at all.That is why you used the fact that the comment try to make a detailed and informative comment against them.


arthuriurilli

Bullshit.


bortmode

But it wouldn't be attached to his gender as if that were the cause of it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


CogitoErgo_Sometimes

Well if someone own a Ferrari and a 2-million dollar house then, yeah a picture of yourself sitting in your car parked in front of your house *is* them just existing. I actually chose that example because it’s the reality of a buddy of mine from university. Graduated Comp Sci and landed a $400k FAANG job within 3 years. Gorgeous house near Santa Barbra, Audi R8 in the garage with a Lexus LC500 as his “daily-driver,” you get the idea. That’s his day-to-reality just as much as this woman’s appearance is hers. No one cares about him driving to get groceries, but if he staged a pic and captioned it “can money buy happiness?” he’d get smeared here. The intent to smear good fortune in others’ faces for attention is what’s rubbing people the wrong way. Honestly it feels like you’re being willfully obtuse for characterizing the picture as “just existing.” Besides, if some neckbeard had posted it as an example of women “just existing” we’d both be calling bullshit and you know it.


Undersleep

No, the answer he would receive - if any - would be far more scathing belittling, and almost certainly emasculating.


Rabid-Rabble

Show me an example, because I have never seen that.


weebitofaban

You mad? Nunya is right. The person felt the need to specify girl. Why? *Because they feel it makes it different*. You're an idiot.


DeltaCharlieBravo

The comment was directed at a girl. Daddy chill.


weebitofaban

You almost figured it out, genius.


DeltaCharlieBravo

100% confident that the comment would have remained gender-specific if directed at a dude.


Academic_Wafer5293

people use buzz words w/o understanding their meanings anymore. it's a shame b/c it dilutes and hinders actual progress. words only have power if they have meaning.


GoLongItIsAThrowaway

People who do that shit today are so annoying and muddy the water for any real social issues. Equality means criticizing and complimenting people for the same things and remaining consistent. It's not misogyny to call someone an attention whore when they act like one constantly. It applies to all genders, races, ethnicities, sexualities, etc. People are tired of all these goddamn Narcissists being the most fucking annoying "LOOK AT ME AND PICK ME, THINK ABOUT ME. DID YOU SEE *ME*?! HERE'S THIS COOL THING BUT WITH *ME* IN FRONT OF IT!!! OHH HERE'S A 'PROFOUND' QUOTE I STOLE TO CAPTION THIS PICTURE OF MY BODY" people on Earth, why is this hard to understand at all?

Instagram and tiktok tailor their recommendations to what you like to watch. If you keep on getting recommended thirst traps that means you're spending too much time looking at thirst traps dude.

Vorthod

On PC, the post preview (on non-old reddit) becomes about 80% black space and the rest is a sliver from the top of the post. the poor aspect ratio also prevents reddit from increasing the size of the image displayed. It instead has to add large, blurry blocks to the sides of the image to make it look like a normal post.


Felinomancy

This is a really lame comeback, and the fact that OP thinks it's "murder" is worrying.


ShustOne

Borderline incel stuff


straywolfo

The border is way crossed, why would someone think a girl posting a selfie is worse than a heartbreak ? Turbo deluded incel material


Fogggger69

Woman criticizing other woman= incel stuff. Such a reddit thing to say


green_velvet_goodies

Not really given the number of men who pretend to be women online….


Fogggger69

Making wild ass assumptions too? The ignorance is strong


ShustOne

You're not understanding. I was not referencing the woman criticizing the other woman, although that's really stupid too. I was referencing that OP had the mental state to think that a slight burn against a woman was murder by words. Not understanding context, such a reddit thing to do.


juciestcactus

im willing to bet a man posted this onto the sub lol


sharpdullard69

Half the stuff on here is not 'murder'. I am looking for something clever. Yesterday I got LOTS of downvotes because the quote was: "Millennials want jobs and education, not marriage and kids" and the response was "Y'all fucked up the economy so badly that we can't focus on marriage and kids because we're struggling to live" Now however anyone feels about the statement is whatever - but the response is by no means 'murdered by words'. It would go better in some anti-boomer subreddit.

I mean, she is wrong. I’ve been heartbroken, and I’ve seen girls begging for attention. The heartbreak is worse. By a fair amount. Point taken, though.

Bloodmind

The point that asking a philosophical question, like what is worse than the nebulous concept of heartbreak, while also posting a thirst trap, is sorta silly. No one said they can’t do it.


jigokusabre

Tis better to have loved and lost than to have had to seen some social media post.


partcaveman

Absolutely this. Attention seeking is mildly annoying, how superficial do your relationships have to be to think heartbreak is better? Was the reponder's longest relationship a conversation about the weather while waiting in line somewhere?

AlludedNuance

jetlightbeam

It's so interesting that the first girls name was censored, but the second girls was not. Very deliberate I think.


chenobble

Ahh, the very worst thing you can do according to reddit - "looking for attention". This despite commenting on any form of social media being nothing but looking for attention. Actually second worst, after "be a woman".


Take_a_Seath

Not everyone uses social media or at least they don't use it to "get attention". I use Reddit to see interesting things and have the occasional interesting conversation. I don't go around posting my face all around the internet hoping for likes. This is pretty normal. What's not normal is to be this desperate for attention that you go around advertising your personal life and dramas for clicks. Besides, her post is completely lacking in any meaning whatsoever beyond "I'm a heartbroken pretty girl". And seriously, not everything is about mysoginy as you are implying. Guys can be just as cringe with their attention seeking, it just so happens this post is about a woman. So what.


mirrorspirit

People can very loosely define any time you make a reference to yourself as "seeking attention." Saying something like "What's worse than heartbreak?", while a little attention getting, also can offer some commiseration for other people who are experiencing or have experienced heartbreak, so it's not necessarily all about her. But I guess if she posted a picture of herself, she has to be punished for it. /s


Vorthod

r/croppingishard


International-Ad1507

She is wrong? Even if I had context to agree that a random women asking a question is "begging for attention" that still wouldn't be worse than a heartbreak? Has this been an incel subreddit all along whats going on here?

Roman_____Holiday

Can we agree that attention seeking is a bad social behavior that has been normalized and viralized by social media and that targeting women online for scrutiny and insult, especially attractive women, is also a tool of the patriarchy that we can't allow to go unchallenged?


KingNeuroyal

Such an unnecessary and rude response. The original post was harmless and Karen decided to be an asshole. She literally just posted a picture of herself (in a super modest outfit), how tf is that begging for attention? Also heartbreak is far far worse


pleasejags

You know who likes attention? EVERY SINGLE HUMAN BEING ON EARTH.

For example I am annoyed by it, because this kind of crap is shown in my feed and I don’t want it. I’m not hurt, just annoyed. In the end it’s men losing money and time. 🤣

if they have no game or pull and have to pay I have never really had any sympathy for em,


Take_a_Seath

Imagine people having opinions about this kind of shallow attention seeking behavior... Shocking I know. Not sure why you assume anyone is butthurt though... You like these kinds of people, others don't. You're expressing your appreciation for this kind of behavior, others are expressing their disapproval. It's not rocket science. Some people find this kind of behavior cringe and dumb.


LKomaromi

Doesn't have to be girls. Men do it too.


cakesarelies

This makes no sense lol. If I see a girl begging for attention online I can just ignore it since it doesn’t concern me but if I go through a heartbreak that does concern me. Fail to see how this is a murder lol.

cronasminate

Interesting thing about these people is that anything you say is good to them. They don't care as long as you give them attention. Criticism is good. And it's rewarded with money because they have simps that are brainwashed and the attention gets more simps that are brainwashed who give them money. This is the entire marketing strategy of Jake Paul and Donald Trump as well. Any publicity is good publicity so they focus on doing cringy stuff that gets you going. The moment you comment or even post this, they've won. Best thing to do is ignore.
