Could it be because of things you said?
Like repeating the insults lazy and irresponsible, based on the binary all-or-nothing blame I just addressed, quoting the previous time you used those insults?
Your ardent insistence on individual responsibility doesn't seem to extend to why someone would respond to your comments like you've repeatedly insulted them. Surely there's no reason for someone to call you a hypocrite. They must be angry, in a way you'll voice as an accusation, for no apparent reason.
Meanwhile.
Back at the point:
Apple turning the universal standard of text messages into a color-coded sign of smug superiority - see previous thirty years of their marketing - is at least partly to blame for the trend of children acting smugly superior based on that brand loyalty. Do you understand "partly to blame," as a concept?
Ok. We disagree. Have a good day!
"Here is why you are objectively wrong about a company's role in this systemic issue."
"Why are you so angry? You juuust disagree, because you're lazy and stupid and irresponsible. Cheers!"
Fuck you.
I never called you lazy or stupid. I called blaming a company for a social issue lazy and irresponsible.
I don’t know why you’re taking this personally, I don’t know you, I certainly can’t make a judgment about you as a person.
I disagree with the take that Apple is to blame and shared my thoughts on that, not you.
When I got an iPhone years ago it had a function I didn’t know about. Different text bubble colors depending on protocol used. It was all awesome because I had limited texting so it was handy to know if messaging was free (iMessage) or if it was counting against my limit (SMS).
Nobody bullied anybody over it then. You want to blame Apple, partly, for kids getting bullied, ok. I disagree with you and I think blaming Apple is lazy and irresponsible. You as a person? No idea. You might be industrious and diligent, maybe you’re somewhere in the middle, maybe you are lazy and irresponsible. That’s not really for me to judge from one opinion shared on the internet.
Do you read your own comments? You keep doing exactly that.
Do you speak English?
