Though it appeared that she had written the article as clickbait, and it was universally vilified, reading what we saw of the article, I agreed with her completely.
Defeat awkwardness with maximum ridiculosity.
What did she say?
shareSadly I thought the same thing. Setting yourself on fire in front of children and injuring those trying to you help you is selfish.
shareI didn't see what she'd written, but that makes sense.
Society, especially on the internet, tends to dogpile on somebody new each week (or day) and even when I agree with the angry masses, I think it's crappy the way everybody feels the need to jump on the same person.
With that in mind, I rather like the ending to that episode more now. People using the hashtag aren't very good or smart. Just an angry villager all too eager to grab a torch.
She said the activist's suicide (via setting herself on fire) was the worst kind of attention whoring.
