I’ve been asking for links to examples, in posts about online trends, for about a decade now and nobody has ever even once risen to the challenge.
At this point any claim of the form “The internet has X happening on it” I just immediately dismiss until I see evidence. Which I never do.
It’s not the rest of the internet’s responsibility to do your research for you.
It’s not everyone on the internet’s responsibility to change their opinion to match yours. It is incredibly narrow minded to assume that someone would just do “research” and end with the same opinion of a group of people as you.
If you see someone express an opinion, and you don’t know why, you ask them, not go to other sources to find why.
If you rely on others to fill you in with knowledge, you must not have learned anything after school.
