In real life people judge you on more than what you say and what your about. There is profiling based on just view. That image of body size, body fat percentages, hair color, eye color, skin color, the minor details of a person. The outer shell of us all. We all have a different shape, color, whatever. There are people spewing words of diversity and acceptance. I haven't heard such gibberish in a while. Its like the new thing. Accept diversity! Okay, I can see parts of this as a good moral. But think of it for a second. We are different. We all have our own opinions. We all have a different back ground growing up, a different set of morals, a different belief system, different tastes, different everything. Simple as that. Now with all these differences how can we all get along in a politically correct fashion? My own belief on this matter is, we can't. I believe arguments on beliefs are healthy for anyone. As long as it keeps to reason and does not end in violence. People may read that thinking I am crazy to assume violence would arise. We like to think more of our selves and our communities. But I would not say this with out a reason. In the past there have been great tragedies on the basis of disagreements. Lives have been ruined and destroyed. Look at world war 2, drastic example with the holocaust. Lets tone it down a bit to more common examples. Violence in school systems, violence in our streets, pointless gangs killing/harming each other over who is more "gangster" and who suffers the most based on poverty. Yet how many of these people are actually in that bad of a situation? If they got their heads out of their asses maybe they could improve their lives and those around them rather than dragging a whole city to rubbish, like L.A. There is plenty of examples of violence becoming a reality over simple things, things that never should be a problem in a perfect world. But it isn't a perfect world.
So the Internet... How is this different? People can express how they feel with out the visual judgment harming their words based on the listeners thoughts. I feel there are several points to judge someone on the internet with. 1. What they say and how they say it. 2. How they promote their self. 3. General attitude and methods. 4. What they stand for. 5. Where they come from.
I say where they come from for a reason. Reading this page how many would think I am over weight? How many think I am skinny? How many think I am average weight? What am I for an ethnicity: Black, White, Spanish, whatever? Answer that question first. then carry on reading. Now that its answered answer it again based on the knowledge that I live in America, the USA. I am from the New England area, in a suburb. Did your opinion change at all? No one would vocalize their admittance for it. However, I can bet a ton of people started to think I was fatter than previously and also white or black. Never would one imagine I am a Spanish person. I could be but how would you know? It turns out I'm not, I am white and I do have a bit of a gut but I am working on getting rid of that.
The internet is great for that whole free speech thing. Because here politics and political correctness are a load of shit. I am racist as much as anyone else is. I have groups of people I dislike on average. But that is because of the majority of them I come across. Sure, there are really cool people from the Philippines and I take that into consideration. But these are the groups of folk that make the most commotion and then try to promote their national pride or what ever bullshit pride they made up to make me do what? Accept them? Not going to happen. I'll accept you on a personal basis. When I meet people from Brazil, the BR flag goes off. Prepare for: huahuahua algemo
The internet has spanwed so many cultures, sub cultures, underground networks, and more. Some examples: Furrys, the Chans, otherkin, and more. They never would of became a group if not for the internet. People are more connected now than ever before. The ideas can spread faster now than before. People realise they aren't alone with their interests. However maybe their idea is not a common ideal or intrest and they are afraid their local community would be negative. So with out the internet they never would get to express that idea or thought, or know they are not alone.
The internet is all about the spreading of ideas, thoughts, philosophy, data, free speech. Its a great medium for communication. Its a great medium for data spreading, and how people use that is up to them. I love it. Its great. People say this is not reality, true! Its not. Its worse than reality and most times its also A LOT better than your reality. That is all I have to say...
My closing note: lololol!! internet <3 <3 :D ^.^
