A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

After a certain point in popularity it is assumed the celeb is going to sooner or later:

Be doxxed

Have death threats thrown at them

Be sexually harassed

Have police called on them

Then we have all the Vtubers who are Hannah Monatanning it up and straight chilling. Ironmouse has never been swatted, but by God some people would if they could, and others would probably show up at her house to show their "love".

Dream is an example of someone who shouldn't have let out who he was IMO because the attacks against him seemed to become a lot more real once there was a real human name, face, and location. Like I would have gone to the grave as Dream with how many people hated him before his face reveal.

Enjoy being proud about being indifferent to human suffering.

Enjoy assuming things about strangers to make yourself feel morally superior.

Your only reply to the whole of the original post was who cares. The doxxing death threats and sexual harassment, who cares. You wanted to say that you were talking about a different part but you gave no context or indication for that when you just said who cares. How is that not indifference to human suffering? It really doesn't seem like much of an assumption.

Yes indifference makes you cool. Caring about things is for losers. Any more grade school wisdom you'd like to impart?

Well we already established it's much of an assumption.
