RANT: Why Are People So DERANGED Today? The Ridiculousness Of Publicly Shaming Others Online

How's it going my gumdrops? Similar to an old Xanga 1.0 blog that was published 4 years ago, this is a rant blog about the ridiculousness of publicly shaming others online. Publicly shaming people online has become ridiculously rampant, lately.

Years ago, I LOVED being on the Internet. Now, I find myself hating it more than anything these days. The Internet has turned into an online playground for cruel, inhumane, sadistic, vindictive, and malicious men, women, and children.

People like them have ALWAYS existed, but now there are more platforms for these narcissistic sociopaths and low-lives to spread their misanthropy like a fatal disease. 

Age, gender, race, ethnicity, religion, non-religion, social class, political affiliation, sexuality, etc. all factor into this hatred.

Originally, I was going to say that all of the above do NOT  factor into this hatred. However, they really DO. People want to hate someone for the sake of hating.

Before anybody wants to use Donald Trump as a scapegoat, this hatred existed LONG before he became our president. 

This level of HATRED worsened since the year of 2000, which was before President Bill Clinton left the White House for George W. Bush and before the terrorist attacks had occurred on September 11, 2001.

By the 21st Century, more people with zero involvement in the entertainment industry became obsessed with filming and taking pictures of themselves ad nauseam. 

In addition, more of those from of that same ilk started filming and taking pictures of other people for exploitation and public humiliation purposes, as well as praise.

This may seem like slapstick humor for those depraved low-lives, but it's not for those who must endure it. 

Some, who have suffered from public shaming online lost their businesses, jobs, families, as well as their own lives, if they haven't already committed suicide over their reputations being ruined.

Within the last 1-3 years of so-called "political activist" groups provoking the genocide of law enforcement and white people, the hatred keeps getting worse.

This is also when they are NOT  exploiting women, children, murder, rape, suicide, natural disasters, charities, tragedies, violating our privacy, bullying, stalking, cyber stalking, and slandering others for the sake of being mean-spirited and malicious.

These are the same types of self-righteous low-lives and narcissistic sociopaths, who fail to understand WHY they have no real friends, girlfriends, boyfriends, spouses, etc.

Over the last week to 2 years, I have endured smear campaigns, cyber stalking, and public shaming NOT  by catty women, but by men suffering from overblown egos and Little Dick Syndrome. 

If you didn't already know, Little Dick Syndrome is basically when men in high positions abuse their power.

Some may be scoffing and rolling their eyes at me for publishing this blog, especially since I am not flaunting statistical data. 

Today's blog does NOT  require an infographic to demonstrate how incredibly abominable public shaming over the Internet has become.

Whether you're watching, reading, or listening to the news or not, publicly shaming other people online continues to increase. It is the female gender, that endures the most public shaming.

Belonging to a toxic forum such as Adult Swim and social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, etc, etc. are enough to make ANYONE with some human decency want to delete his/her own account(s), if not abandon those sites.

Those toxic websites enable, pander to, and condone misogynists and misanthropes. 

I believe the administrators shut down Adult Swim's forum without giving the community any notice, last winter because they saw how atrocious the community became.

Over these last 3 years, some of my subscribers already knew just how horrible it was for some of us to belong to a male-dominated forum for a divisive and male-centric Cable TV network.

I never expected for everybody to personally like me on Adult Swim's forum. Although, I NEVER expected for so many posters to personally discriminate against me for being a newer poster, while personally harboring an irrational hatred for no reason.

I belong to MANY websites ranging from blogging communities, social media sites, to Anime forums. 

NONE of those communities have ever assumed the worst about me, as a human being or my good intentions. 

They especially do NOT  feel threatened or resent me for being a woman of color, who built her own website for free.

Over 2 years ago, I noticed that those posting on Adult Swim's forum are CLASSIST and generally begrudge successful people, especially successful women. 

The posters waste MOST  their time criticizing someone's diction, font size, font color, show ratings, politics, religion, favorite shows, etc, etc.

Shortly after joining Adult Swim's community, my feelings about the network became worse than they were before joining. 

I already knew the assholes in charge of the network loved mocking their own viewers, disguising their insults as jokes, were patronizing, and were EXTREMELY sexist towards women. Belonging to Adult Swim's forum was a lot worse than imagined and expected.

Even though there were other women posting on Adult Swim's forum, the men over there barely have respect for women in general. 

The man-children have this great sense of entitlement. Not to generalize every Adult Swim poster, but certain posters within Adult Swim's community REALLY  believe that everyone owes them something.

The man-children from Adult Swim's forum compare themselves to Reddit and 4Chan trolls. 

Nearly 2 weeks ago, an Adult Swim friend said that she was trying to learn Japanese. In her thread, I let her know that I sent her links to Japanese books I used, throughout my years of studying.

Then, I listed 5 different styles of writing Japanese, which included Furigana. There was already an overbearing know-it-all in her thread. He claimed he was the "Go-To Guy" for studying the language because he automatically assumed that nobody knew Japanese except him. This was where it became ridiculous.

Because I said that Furigana was another way of writing Japanese, he derailed my friend's thread by discrediting me the ENTIRE time. Furigana is mostly used as a Japanese reading aid for those learning to write the language much like Romaji.

When I was learning Japanese as a teenager, that poster was ONLY  a toddler. There are actual Japanese books and worksheets with Furigana and I also had teachers that taught me how to write Furigana. Here's the kicker, that poster claims to be the "Go-To Guy" YET  he's not fluent in his own native language!

That poster made such a HUGE stink about what I said. Eventually, I told he and everyone else that I studied Japanese for YEARS and have a BA in Asian Studies.

This was along with letting him know that I was not some pretentious Weeaboo, who studied Japanese only for the purpose of wanting to understand what characters were saying in Japanese animation.

Mr. Know-It-All became SO offended by my statement that he implied that I was lying, then THREATENED to make "a laughingstock out of me on Reddit" simply because I said, that Furigana is a part of the Japanese writing system.

Were his antics even necessary?

Finally, I told the "Go-To Guy" that he was acting like a juvenile, pompous, self-righteous, know-it-all and I let him know, that most people will NOT  tolerate his antics.

Since he refused to stop derailing my friend's thread, I told him to go get bent and left. Certain Adult Swim posters have extremely overblown egos.

Typically, Adult Swim posters must turn EVERYTHING into a serious competition over who is right and who is wrong, must turn fun and innocent discussions into flame wars, if not intentionally take something that was said out of context to cause division, must have the last word, psychoanalyze, nitpick, minimize, and discredit everything and everyone.

In addition, some of the male posters seriously expect women to be submissive and weak to them and owe them an explanation for any and every little thing somebody says, does, likes, etc. This includes male Adult Swim posters being predators like the lowlife, who has been slandering AND purposely MISGENDERING me for the last 2 years.

That narcissistic sociopath expects for women to give him nude selfies, posts revenge porn, premeditates fights among minority female posters, loves violating our privacy by publicly posting copies of our e-mail messages, anonymous reports, posting death threats, sending threatening messages to women, hacking other posters' accounts and servers, and gossips about us like some high school gossip queen!

Our crooked, former head moderator from Adult Swim is mostly to blame for the never ending smear-campaign, which was launched against me 2 years ago. 

That lowlife, piece of shit sadistically violated my privacy by doxing my anonymous reports about someone, who only PRETENDED to be my friend to cause social division.

That "friend" was a manipulative, backstabbing liar, and a slanderer, who set me up to fight with 1 of his flunkies and got me banned on Memorial Day 2015. That was why I removed him from my website TWICE.

Seems spiteful to some, BUT would you want to be "friends" with someone who sets you up to fight a flunky of theirs on a holiday? 

Would you want to be friends with someone, who guilt trips you? 

Would you want to be friends with someone, who lets their other "friends" attack you, then be blamed for being attacked and insulted for it?

Every time I reported the attacks on Adult Swim, our former crooked head moderator would purposely ignore my reports with malicious intent. 

OTHERWISE, he singled me out by making indirect call out threads, publicly threatening to ban me THRICE for anonymously reporting assholes, who attacked me and OTHER posters, as well as doxing my anonymous reports while COLLUDING with them!

I could list a number of atrocities our former head moderator committed on Adult Swim within these last 2 years. He panders, enables, condones, and sometimes PARTICIPATES in these atrocities.

For example, a few divisive Adult Swim posters wanted our sub-forum to play a game called Turkey Shoot for Thanksgiving 2015. 

Turkey Shoot was a divisive game our sub-forum wanted to play, which consisted of PUBLIC SHAMING.

The objective was to find the WORST  threads they could by other posters. 

After finding those threads, posters necrobumped them to the front page saying that they "bagged a turkey."

***Whoever bagged the worst threads for PUBLICLY SHAMING POSTERS, won prizes!

Some of us did NOT  participate in Turkey Shoot because it was a divisive and mean-spirited game in disguise to play for Thanksgiving. 

All the while, our former crooked head moderator always loves patronizing us with his self-righteous hypocrisy about not flame baiting, necrobumping threads with malicious intent, and some other self-righteous lectures.

Originally, he was hesitant to play this game. Then, my former "friend," who has been cyber stalking, misgendering, and smearing my reputation for the last 2 years, guilt tripped our moderator into playing that public shaming game.

Honestly, it would not surprise me, if he blackmailed our head moderator because he is just that deplorable of a human being. 

I still have his harassing messages that he sent to me on my website. They are still in the Contact form submissions, that I receive from people who want to send a message to me.

Since that narcissistic sociopath wants to keep cyber stalking, misgendering, slandering doxing, and publicly shaming me online, I have contemplated reporting to somebody in a much higher power, who CAN make him disappear from the web. 

The man's a narcissistic sociopath with mental, behavioral, and substance abuse problems excluding the fact, he's an unfit father and had a hand in his friend being murdered, when he was a teenager. 

I only know about this BECAUSE he posted about it on our former crooked head moderator's PUBLIC forum, earlier this year.

Some of you may be reading my blogs and assuming, that I am some militant feminazi who hates men. 

For the record, I do NOT  hate men. My audience has ALWAYS been male-dominated because of the music I played on my radio show, years ago and my interests. 

Egomaniacs have been taking me to task these last 3 years. Obviously, they see me as a threat to their manhood, when I'm NOT.

Today's blog is longer than my usual blogs because publicly shaming people online is much worse than a terminal disease and is barely discussed. 

In the meantime, here is a video explaining more in detail about social media shaming.

The National: "Social Media Shaming" (2015)

What Is WRONG With Wisconsin?! The Ridiculousness Of Job Hunting

This blog was originally published on Xanga March 26, 2013.

 

Hey Xangans! Both on and offline, I have discussed how ridiculous it has been trying to find a job a lot throughout the last 7 years. 

The last time I worked was 4 1/2 years ago. Throughout my early to late 20's, I have struggled to find temporary to permanent work. 

Growing up during the 1980's and 1990's, I was ALWAYS told "Stay in school, don't be a fool," and if I attended college, I would be wealthy, have a better career, and an education.

Well, here I am at 30 going on 31 years old. My BA is in Asian Studies and my Minor is in Creative Writing. I attended a prestigious college YET  have little to show for it. 

My chapbook is bound at a supposed Mid-Western "Ivy League College." That same college has also been listed in The Princeton Review. 

Nevertheless, my student loans have been in deferment, since graduating in 2006. I was supposed to study abroad in Japan my college senior year but fell ill, during my last semester. I purposely attended college to pursue a career in Writing and Japanese Consecutive Translation.

In 6th grade, I was introduced to Japanese and took it, throughout 7th-12th grade. During all 4 years of high school, I earned Achiever's Awards for taking Japanese. Our Japanese teachers considered me to be the "star pupil" of Japanese classes.

In addition, classmates had a great resentment towards yours truly for always getting 3 Japanese Awards each year and for usually breaking our classroom's curve. They nick named me "The Curve Breaker" for this very reason. That's not including being a female of color.

Before graduating, we regularly translated English to Japanese and vice versa. Because I was 1 of 2 classmates with the ability to translate both languages, I considered pursuing a career in Translation. Then, I thought about how much I enjoyed writing poems and short stories.

Eventually, I researched colleges, which offered degrees of my personal interests. There were several colleges 12 years ago, offering Japanese and Creative Writing.

After conducting additional research on these specific colleges, I realized that most of those institutions annually ran ~$30,000 for tuition and fees. This made me feel hesitant.

My mother didn't have money to put me through college. This led to me applying for financial aid, which allowed me to take out student loans and grants. I never wasted time applying for scholarships.

Besides the fact, that students can easily lose their scholarships all because of a slightly dropping grade point average, I didn't want to be like all the other entitled students, depending on scholarships to get into college.

It was already outrageous enough constantly hearing racist stereotypes and jokes about minorities getting into college because of Affirmative Action and for playing Sports. Instead of doing any of that, I took baby steps.

To get better acquainted with college, I attended a 2-year community college (MATC) for 1 year my college freshman year. 

Then, I transferred to my first 4-year college, which was UW-Parkside located in Salem, WI. Originally, the university claimed they offered Japanese. 

After transferring to Parkside, Admissions told me that I could take Japanese at Carthage, which is literally 5-10 minutes away from UW-Parkside. 

If Parkside did not claim in their course catalog, that they offered Japanese, I would've completely transferred to Carthage anyway. This led to me doing the Cross Registration Program. 

There was a grandfather's clause between both UW-Parkside and Carthage College. 

As long as the student was enrolled full-time with at least 12 credits, the same student could freely attend the other college for additional credits.

Fundamentally, I juggled two 4-year colleges at once and attended 3 colleges within the same year; I started college at 19 years old and was on my 3rd college at 20.

Shortly after transferring to both UW-Parkside and Carthage College, I became a College Radio DJ/Hostess for my own radio show, All Things Frightening. I wanted to be a DJ, since 14 years old. Luckily, that dream position fell into my lap.

While doing my laundry in UW-Parkside's Ranger Hall Dorm, I met this guy in the campus laundry room. He told me, that he was a Radio DJ searching for a "Special Guest Co-Host" for his show. Gradually, I took him up on his offer to be his "Special Guest Co-Host."

Then, he made me fill out tons of forms, before co-hosting. His radio show was more of a Sports Talk Show with periodic music. If you're not a Sports fan, you would've thought it was extremely boring.

Eventually, I started complaining on the air. I cannot remember all my exact words 11 years ago, but I remember saying something along the lines of, "Dude, why don't you play Fear Factory or something? All this talking about Sports is boring me to tears! Zzzz!"

His regular co-host was almost in stitches LIVE from laughing at me on air. I was bored out my mind and I didn't care about any Sports discussion. Gradually, they started playing more music.

After their radio show ended that night, I received a phone call 1 week later, on my dorm phone. The manager wanted me to attend a radio station meeting. So, long story short, I became a Radio DJ/Hostess.

At that time, it was SO unreal. I was living 1 of my 3 dream jobs. It would've been so MUCH better, if UW-Parkside's campus radio station went full power because we could've been paid. Being a Disk Jockey was labeled as "Voluntary Work" on campus.

Considering, that we were required to know how to work radio station equipment and censor music live for FCC regulations, we SHOULD'VE collected a paycheck. 

I had a college friend that same year at Parkside, who was paid to be a nude model for $12 an hour yet we weren't paid to know how to work radio station equipment.

Being a Radio DJ/Hostess at Parkside had its advantages and disadvantages. It was cool having total access to a music library of old and new releases, playing songs from any music genre(s) and sub-genre(s) I wanted uncensored and LIVE after 10 pm was fantastic. This included albums premieres, as long as they were either pre-censored albums, or censored on air before 10pm.

Sometimes I ended up hosting DJ Madness, which was during Safe Harbor Time. Safe Harbor started at 10pm and we could play uncensored music. Because songs were being heard both locally and online, we had to censor them. 

DJ Madness was usually, when all the DJ's partied at the radio station, co-hosted, and played uncensored music. Sometimes we ordered in pizza from Papa John's.

On the other hand, my personal disadvantages started outweighing my advantages. I later had to listen to horrible demo tapes.

Being objectified, battling sexual harassment, sexism, misogyny, overblown male egos on the job, post 9/11 racism, and 2 creepy manwhores stalking me around Parkside's campus led to me withdrawing from UW-Parkside 10 years ago. The post 9/11 racism and stalking especially hurt my housing situation.

In order to regroup from being stalked and the post 9/11 racism, during the first 25 days of my original 1st semester of my junior year, I HAD to withdraw from not only UW-Parkside, but also Carthage College.

Within days, I re-applied to other colleges. I dealt with my fair share of rejections from grandiose and pretentious institutions. Later, it dawned on me.

Since I was already a part-time commuting student at Carthage College, I already had an academic standing. This led to me re-applying. Luckily, I was able to convert from a part-time Carthage commuting student to a full-time on campus student.

After transferring again, I failed to assimilate. Parkside had students attending from all walks of life. Meanwhile, Carthage consisted of a few townies, foreign exchange students, and mostly pretentious, new money, and extremely entitled, trust fund brats from IL with grandfather's clauses.

Carthage College originated in Carthage, IL. During the 1960's, Carthage relocated to Downtown Kenosha, WI. I felt as if I was in those John Hughes '80s Teen Angst films like The Breakfast Club and Pretty In Pink, my last 2 years at Carthage. That was how sickening most of the student body was on that campus.

I only miss the cuisine meals, fast food restaurants on campus, very few professors, and meeting comedians and public figures.

The classism and struggling to assimilate at Carthage College made my chances to be hired for campus jobs more difficult. Enduring Baby Boomer white women for gatekeepers working in HR and privileged trust fund brats being immediately grandfathered into working on campus because their family previously attended Carthage was a losing battle before getting started.

Other students I personally knew, including my high maintenance drama queen of a roommate monopolized ALL the student jobs. She alone already monopolized 5 of the campus jobs, when I couldn't get 1 simple job.

She had a 3.99 GPA, double majored in Music, collected disability, grants, and scholarships. This was along with graduating with Honors. She's also white.

Several months before my personal health scare, during the 1st semester of my college senior year, I applied to be an on campus Tour Guide. 

While on my way to a class or buying something to eat, alumini from The Silent Generation, at least several years or so older than my grandparents CONSTANTLY stopped me for on campus directions to certain buildings. 

Otherwise, I was usually the only student on my way to either shop inside our campus bookstore, or to a restaurant, if not going to an office for something.

Some would assume by the time a student became a senior, that he/she would have seniority over student positions. That was NEVER my situation. 

I applied to be a Tour Guide only to be snubbed and overlooked for a freshman.  

WHY WAS THAT? 

Because her mother was a Carthage sorority sister decades ago, she was automatically grandfathered to work at Carthage College.

Based on what I have already told you, I am constantly being overlooked for jobs. It never fails. Regardless of my race/ethnicity, gender, qualifications, etc, I am not the only person suffering from these exact same problems.

We can continue blaming who's the president at the time and the economy, until we are blue in the face. The overall problem is women working in HR. THEY are the gatekeepers.

Whenever I read job classifieds in the newspapers and apply for jobs on and offline, these employers have unrealistic expectations and job requirements. I always read the Clerical position ads from companies and they usually want candidates to have 2+20 years work experience and a GED.

I am amazed by employers at some companies expecting their candidates to know how to use Powerpoint, have a GED, and 2+20 years of work experience. They also expect someone to work at a job, which only pays $7.50-$8.00 per hour. Seriously?

Their expectations are just as bad as a woman dating some bad boy from the trailer park or the hood and expecting him to miraculously have a Ph.D. 

Then again, what am I talking about? Those ARE the same people working in HR, right now!

A lot of companies especially run scams and feed us unemployed people bogus lies. Some of you would be absolutely amazed at the number of job interviews I have attended for certain positions. 

I get ready for a Clerical job interview or something else (depending on the ad). Suddenly, that interview later becomes an interview for a completely different position than what they advertised.

The last "interview" I attended was supposed to be for a Receptionist position, last December. That same company sent me an e-mail about my so-called "group job interview" being scheduled in the evening for a "Promoter position."

I really loved that they included in their message, "IT'S NOT A SALES POSITION. IT'S A PROMOTER POSITION." That line was a total lie. 

Anyone with some common sense knows, that promotions is a part of sales. I called and e-mailed them several times. They would NOT give me a straight answer.

I ended up going to the supposed "group job interview." It was nothing except a group meeting, searching for Door-To-Door Canvassers. 

I told those morons, that I applied for a Receptionist position, as they sat there with their dumb ass facial expressions.

The "meeting" was so preposterous that 2 of the men, who originally sat next to me ghosted without me noticing. There were also 2 girls, who literally ran outside the building, and another guy walked outside the building with a disgusted look on his face, while complaining on his cell phone.

So, my fellow Xangan friends, viewers, and subscribers, has any of this ever happened to you?
