The cynic in me says none of those stories are true. The non-cynical side of me says only 90% of those stories are made up or embellished to the point where it may as well have been totally made up.

There was one I was going to post the other day, but then I realized that while the format was lovely the stories were about how a guy who is constantly poo poo on by the customers he serves so I didn't feel it belonged here.

The Best thing for an infographic to have is no references, ever, not one.

Though even if this duder did cite anything, and someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but pretty much every point made is either misunderstood or reductive to the point of near uselessness.

"The "space" individuals have which they are comfortable having others within can morph and change as the result of many factors, such as: their familiarity with the other person, their immediate environment, their current emotional state, their culture, the environment in which they generally live, etc. For example: someone who lives in a crowded city will generally be more comfortable with lots of people being very close by out of necessity" =/= "Folks in the country only talk to each other from across the field! :downs:"

This post was too long and not funny, but it just really gets up my butt when people do this kind if thing. Argh.

my fav bit was if someone is sitting in an office chair with his legs spread out, your way of destroying his cone of popularity is to stand behind him, meekly

If I'm reading the image right, what you're actually supposed to do is get a taller chair and spread your legs over the back of his head to claim him and his chair as your own.

I think she's that lady who tried to get state benefits because she cliamed to have PTSD from internet comments, and when a doctor told her no, she went on a publicity spree. She's become the poster child for what Redditers and the like see as SJWs. Sorry for the Daily Mail link.

I like how even the imgur comments mostly call these stories fake now. :allears:

You're honestly still suprised by this kinda stuff? I admire your naivety.

Basically she went around being a radical feminist, attacking other feminists who disagreed with her opinons, and then she claimed she couldn't get out of bed for six months, because debating on the Internet gave her PTSD. She now tweets things with the hastag #PTSD.

I was at a conference a few weeks ago, about anti-Christian perscution in the third world. They had a woman spoker who was kidnapped by Boko Haram in Nigera and threatened with assualt and murder if she didn't give up her faith in Jesus and become a muslim. After weeks of captivity, they were saved by the miltary, and now she works to warn people about Boko Haram and help deradicalise young muslims. And after all this, she was able to travel half way across the world and get up in front of 2,000 people and share the story. It was really challenging and moving.

This woman had people disagree with her for being a hipster feminist and an atheist, so she has has internet ptsd from "gender terrorists" and couldn't get out of bed for six months and tweets about it?

Yeah, contrast and compare the two.

Obviously she's pretty self-centered, acting like her internet comment thing is way more important than it actually is, especially compared to military vet PTSD etc.

But the human brain is a weird thing. I can totally see someone having a brain retardedly hosed up enough to get permanently damaged by mean words. It just means that she had some kind of retarded hosed up brain before ptsd as well.

Viewed through the lens that Internet activism is really really important, the most important thing, I can see the point that being stalked and threatened and harassed everywhere you go for years, and for years to come including to this day, would be at least a little upsetting. Especially if you make your living as a writer, it's like not even being able to go to work, talk to your friends, or even get out of bed without having your stalkers attack, and it's also your fault.

Aside, her twitter reads like a tumblr bingo card. gender terrorist victim blame ptsd mental illness gaslight. I just need to find highly problematic for a line.

In the right discussion or context, they can be useful words to make a point or describe a thing. Weird tumblr types seem to throw them around willy-nilly though. In hensley's case, everything is gaslighting, and "gaslight" could practically be her catchphrase (if she didn't already invent "gender terrorist" because drat).

I mean, I can understand if people started really going after her; causing issues with her job so she loses it, making the harassment inescapable, etc. That kind of stress can really add up and have a lasting impact.

If its purely on twitter though, there are tools to deal with that now like shared block lists (things that were developed to deal with the gg hivemind). There's also the less fortunate option of just taking a break if it comes down to that I guess.
