Granted, it's not always easy to try and take an objective look at heated messages when you, yourself, have an emotional attachment to the subject. Then again, part of the fun is trying to remain objective about subjects you are emotional about.
You're making a lot of assumptions, and none of them are true. I have no emotional attachment to fan drawings of cartoons I've never seen, or the shirt Kanye was wearing at a gas station, or what some politician I've never heard of in a country I've never been to said about home mail delivery or something equally trivial. Nor do I ever post on Twitter. I don't even have an account. But my eye twitches whenever "somebody said a thing on Twitter" somehow becomes news, or a trending topic, or a witch-hunt, or a cause, or a boycott.
Twitter is a wasteland of hashtags and horseshit, devoid of anything resembling meaningful human interaction.
Assumptions about what? My experience is what it is. It's interesting that you are able to make the assumption that the description of my experience can be untrue. On what basis is that done?
That's where your assumptions are wrong.
"Discussion" isn't really the appropriate term to describe what I see on Twitter. I think "spastic digital shit-flinging" would be more accurate.
