Actually, if she was actually minding her own business, this series of tweets wouldn't exist, and I wouldn't be subjected to a huge photo of her smirking mug. People have had bad dates before. What makes this news worthy?
Yeah. Schadenfreude is pretty popular. Sadly, I'm a little miswired and fail to see how how experiencing other's shitty day is supposed to make me feel better.
It's crazy, 'cause I used to be an expert level troll about ten years ago and stuff like this used to tickle my funny bone. But I just can't wrap my head around this shit these days, mostly because there's no fun or mirth in it, it's all doing it simply to cause chaos and make people feel bad about themselves. It's too one-sided.
Being an asshole online is one thing, but you can't just punch, you have to leave yourself open to retaliation. That's where the entertainment comes from, seeing how someone else could dig into you and if they can do it as good as you can, or better, which is the preferred outcome. To me, it's more about matching wits with someone than excoriating your target.
