Bombardment of hate on Social Media


CelaTracy23

Recommended Posts

I just spent an hour unsubscribing to, and making sure I don't receive any more video links for not just trans phobics but real trans haters out there on YouTube.   Not sure how I started to receive so many, perhaps my algorhythmn from searching topics  but geez, there are some real abusive jerks on YouTube that don't even deserve to be given the time of day.   But some of the remarks from these conservative commentators out there are seriously abusive.   To one young transwoman I wrote that she should consider suing a commentator for defamation.    Their display of just about every cognitive distortion is absurd - and they have their fans, some have up to 3 million subscribers.   These were people like Matt Walsh, Candace Owens, Odins Men,  The Daily Wire, Ben Shapiro.   If you have never heard of any of them, more power to you!

Hopefully now that I reworked my YouTube site I won't get anymore videos suggested on my homepage.   And move on from this crap.   My therapist recommended I quit watching and absorbing negative news.  At the same I would like to see these people sued for their hate speeches, I also realize there will always be haters out there.  This past year though has been the worst ever it seems for ther trans community.  It's time for me to absorb more positive news.

I have recently started following some of the YT Shorts made by some of my favorite trans influencers. The hate that some of the conservative commenters spew is absolutely intolerable. In fact, it’s to the point now where I simply avoid the comment section altogether because of the idiocy and ignorance posted there.

 

As far as the algorithms YT uses, I have no idea how they decide what to present to us next but I know it’s not based on anything I’ve ever chosen or showed an interest. Currently, YT has been bombarding me with video’s showing Komodo Dragon’s swallowing goats whole. I’ve never liked or commented on one but YT serves those Komodo Dragon videos up as if it’s my life’s passion.🤔

While I do not know the YT algorithm I do know that other searches for actual Trans information show the really nasty stuff on the first return, all of it falling into the Porn category.  The WHY of that is simple I am afraid, the Porn is the most looked for material from many parts of the country, none of them ostensibly Trans friendly in a tiny bit.  We stand as in the same light as any adult entertainer to them, and while they crave it with drooling faces, they claim we are at fault for their lechery.  The want us forced out of public approval and back into their waking self indulgence when no one else is watching them.  My late brother was an Adult Entertainment Junkie and stuff I cleaned off his computer when I got it as the administrator of his estate just made me shake my head.  He had trouble with my Transition but needed my family help and was at least civil, but he had Trans videos he had downloaded.  I saw the bills and easily realized why he was always needing extra money.  UGH.  Nevertheless it is BIG profitable BUSINESS.

The more each side fights what they don’t believe in, the  more the war. 
 

Spewing hate  and influencing decay  to  the end. 
 

thank you for allowing me in this space to spew.

There does seem like there has been a recent change. If you typed in “transgender” up until recently on YouTube, there would be many personal sites, people talking about transition, makeup and hair tips, surgeries, their transition timelines, etc. Now the same search pulls up very little, if any, of that, but instead, lots of anti-trans hate content. I am not sure if this represents a change in the algorithm by YouTube, censorship, or creators are becoming more fearful and not making pro-trans content, or maybe the anti-trans people are pushing harder to get their messages out. Maybe all of that.

 

Social media, the news, and entertainment sites all seem to have degraded severely over the years as evidenced by the comments in the comments sections. For those of us who create online content, that can mean going offline for a time and shutting off/deleting inappropriate comments.

      I grew up with it, my mother's side were Germans.  I still like cabbage.  I make a sweet/sour dish with vinegar and brown sugar, add some bacon if you have it.  And in warmer weather, slaw.  I like that better if it's a few days old, and has worked off a little.

      Pity that we can't just respect each other and get along.

      Good Friday Morning    I will be spending a good portion of my day at church today.  I don’t know how any of my family would have been with me.  They all passed before I figured myself out.  I often think my mother and sister may have figured it out before I did but maybe it was just my depression that they saw.  I don’t know and never will.  My grandfather Young unconditionally loved me but he passed when I was 9.   Same with my wife’s parents, both gone before.  We’ve never had the greatest relationship with my wife’s brother but we do see them occasionally.  They words and actions aren’t always in sink when it comes to me.   Sour kraut or boil cabbage were never big even with my parents so that was something we were never expected to eat.  Nor was anything with mustard.  My mother hated mustard and it turns my stomach. My wife tried to sneak it into things early in our marriage but I could always tell.  She stopped after a while.   well I wave to go get ready to go to church.  I have a committee meeting at 10 and then we have a Good Friday Service at noon.   Willow

      Good morning everyone,   @KymmieLI hope you're misreading your bosses communications. As you say keep plugging a long. Don't give them signs that you're slow quitting, just to collect unemployment.   I have a few things to do business wise, and will be driving to the St. Louis, MO area for two family gatherings.   Have a great day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone, TGIFF   It seems like I am the one keeping or shop from being the best. According to the boss. I don't know if my days are numbered or not. But anymore I am waiting for the axe to fall. Time will tell.   I keep plugging a long.   Kymmie

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      Having just a normal emotional day.

      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.
